Tales of Exandria: Artagan issue 4 [Dark Horse]

I didn't even notice when this issue finally came to print and I would be allowed to share this with you all! There are few things I like more than drawing characters known for their pride and bearing in embarrassing situations. So when I was told that the man of the hour Artagan would be making a less than graceful entrance into the fourth issue, I knew I had to immortalize it.

Edit: I was wrong, it's not actually getting published until this July, the issue went up on the website and I mistook it for being published and available, woops.

I've talked before about how the metaphor of Imogen's powers as queerness or neurodivergence fails miserably in trying to understand her time in Gelvaan due to the implications it bears; but a place where it does work is in understanding her relationship to Liliana.

It's a bit difficult because Liliana left when Imogen was so young, and so they lack a strong parental bond, but it reminds me of some parents who grew up without their neurodivergence or mental illness being diagnosed, or who suppressed their sexuality or gender expression due to the time in which they grew up and are then confronted with a child with that diagnosis or with that information and improved acceptance. Her response, rather than to nurture Imogen and perhaps even learn from the way things have changed is to stick to the "right" way to deal with her own issues and insist her child to do the same despite their wishes - with fantasy Qanon thrown into the mix.

It's not a perfect one-to-one in real life, obviously; there are plenty of parents who, when confronted with their child's autism or genderfluidity say "oh, huh, this explains a lot of things about myself" and learn from it and explore what they thought was "wrong" about them and often find new joy in adulthood from it. But there are many Lilianas as well; the people who say "well in my day you just needed to work harder and stop getting so easily distracted", and who punish and who push their own coping mechanisms they understandably developed for themselves but which are not healthy for their children, in a slightly more informed and understanding world, to adopt. Liliana is representative of this deeply sympathetic but also immensely conservative and harmful mindset.

I think what tempers my sympathy for Liliana is that she was not there for Imogen at any point, and is now pushing this without even attempting to listen to Imogen's repeated requests for answers or assistance. Had she been present, and had she been guiding Imogen through her powers when they appeared, then this would be a much more heartbreaking scenario, of Liliana genuinely trying to help but being stuck in her ways after so many years (and perhaps even terrified to try something else, given how hard it was to get to a place of numbness rather than outright pain). As is, however, her story is tragic, but my heartbreak is entirely reserved for Imogen. To continue the metaphor, Liliana left the people trying to understand and mitigate and even fight stigma, and fell in with the liars promising a cure, and in the process not just abandoned her child without even the flawed resources she'd had, but indeed worked with people who sought to destroy them.

I'm glad we have a firm answer about how Artagan's affected by the Malleus Key's effects but I now need to know how the Luxon's handling it more than ever. What's the Dynasty up to. Vasselheim is religiously governed but like, by rotating appointment, and their gods can talk to them. Meanwhile there's a beacon in the key itself and the Dynasty's a theocratic monarchy. How's the divine right of kings holding up these days, Leylas.

#i presume fine given some portion of her tales of exandria is set after this bUT #is this why y'all went harder into the evangelizing efforts. whats up with that. #[tapping the map of wildemount] MERCER! EXPLAIN! EXPLAINNNN #critical role #luxon blogging

i say hallmark movies are cringe but when a divorced couple are forced to mingle at a party for the sake of their friends and one of them nonchalantly says "don't worry tomorrow you can hate me again" and it's followed by a beat then a soft "i dont hate you" my soul gets lit on fire. that's a ketamine shot straight to my hopelessly romantic heart. that's what christmas is all about. idc idc i want more

More the Merrier 1C, Orthax Percy,×Pike× Corrupted Vex

How had it come to this ? Pikes mind was a haze as she tried to recall the circumstances.

After dealing with the Briarwoods the Cleric had been concerned about the black smoke she saw faintly emanating from her two friend. Maybe she was the only one who could see it as the rest of Vox machina didn't comment. It didn't leave them after a few days and her worries grew, she knew that Vex now spent her nights with Pecy so if she went there there was a good chance she could talk to them both.

Knocking on the door to his chambers Pike called out for her friends. Saying how she wanted to talk, how she was worried and wanted to help them. To her shock Vexhalia opened the door naked, saying how they could use her help and then --

The More the Merrier: 1C

—pleasure. Pure, absolute pleasure wracked the poor, helpless gnomish girl's body. It was so much more than anything that she'd experienced before, and she felt herself moan in utter desperation—a moan that was quickly muffled by Vex's elegant fingers weaving through her hair and shoving her face firmly down between her legs.

"That's it, dear, just give in~" the half-elf purred, her voice, sounding somewhat twisted as her now black-sclera-golden-iris eyes stared down at the curvaceous cutie. "I always did think you'd make such a good little pet, Pike~"

"Absolutely perfect~" Percy's voice seemed to echo, though his was significantly more warped and drenched in darkness. His hands rested on the soft curve of Pike's ass, thumbs squeezing and massaging the plump peach as his cock steadily and roughly thrust down into her. "It's like you were made for me, Pike~ made to be my good little slut~"

Pike moaned again as she heard those words, and despite knowing just how wrong it was, she couldn't help but buck her hips back into his thrusts. In the back of her mind, she knew that this wasn't Percy—not her Percy, but someone else who had taken his place—and the dark and degrading way he spoke of and to her only confirmed it. She should be doing something about this—she was a cleric, for Sarenrae's sake!

She should...and yet, the degrading tone was just so hot~

Without even thinking, her hand moved down to start pumping her fingers into her folds, guiding herself closer to her release—and with that act, she felt the black smoke she'd seen drifting off her companions now start to enshroud her as well. A feeling that made her moan even louder, and buck her hips as she climaxed hard around Percy's pummeling thrusts.

Black-sclera-golden-irises tilting up in her head, and matching the identical gazes of the duo smirking down at her.

"I mean, who among us hasn't willingly put ourselves in this position once or four thousand and twelve times? I've had stronger cuffs. Still, not as bad as it looks.

Okay, maybe it is."

So, we’re all agreeing that Laerryn definitely killed (or had a hand in killing) Evandrin on accident, right?
