Unsounded

Knock that is not how you cheer someone up.

in shartesane it is

She's not trying to cheer him up, she's trying to ply her services. The Frummagems basically have the same motto as Glengarry Glen Ross: "Always be closing."

Look at that face in the panel immediately before. She's definitely sad for him and trying to help. She just doesn't know how to help any other way.

these three are great together. I hope they stay a permanent arrangement.

If they actually fix her Ana can come too I guess

You're right, she's definitely popping those trousers open with her teeth

Are they great together? The Crescians are ignoring her dumb white ass

She's probably close enough to have just leaned, but the distance Elka closed between panels 5 and 6 looked great enough for me to briefly imagine her flopping over to him like a seal.

as they should. white people should know their place

they're about to die

funny how a commie matriarchy has the same divorce expectations as modern day huh

Nah. Toma's going to become a hero and get his daughter back and stick it to his bitch ex-wife and walk away in Elka's strong, masculine arms.

It probably reeks to high heaven in there, I'd rather be out in the rain.

Can I just say I appreciate a female author admitting that sometimes women can be bitches in a divorce, and setting up a man as the sympathetic character in one? And all this without piling on the wife, either?

It's just nice, is all I'm saying

I don't even see any commentary in this, Emil is a peasant who rose through the ranks as an acknowledged hero, got picked out by a powerful noblewoman to be her trophy husband, and now is getting dumped. It's not really any agenda to it.

Yeah, that's why I like it. There's no agenda but it's a scenario you don't see a lot in fiction and I appreciate it.

it's a matriarchy. this can't really be considered commenttary because it's unrelated to any real life context and is only coincidentally similar.

It’s really hard to concentrate on the exposition knowing half his ulna is just sitting there festering and scarring

Seems more egalitarian, at least as far as gender roles go.

>monarchs are exclusively women
>husbands take their wives' surnames
It's literally the definition of a matriarchy

>>husbands take their wives' surnames
only because Emil is a peasant

Cresce actually seems far more stratified than Alderode, they just don't discriminate based on gender. Alderode has a nominally representative government, it's just got very strict gender roles.

Proof?

Alderode is literally rocking a caste system. You can't get more stratified than that.

The caste system is imposed by the Khert, and they developed a system of government that's actually pretty fair considering the reality of the dammakhert. If you only live to be 30, for example, you probably won't make it far in politics. Alexander the Great not withstanding.

Of course all monarchs should be women. Men are too emotional to be put in charge. As for surnames, that's all but meaningless. Gotta use someone's last name.

Isn't the dammakhert of their own creation?
