Oops, I never uploaded this one to Tumblr (which I only realized when someone else did, but then was kind enough to tag me, thank you)!
This is the comic that kickstarted my obsession with telling stories with as few panels as I could (usually 10-11 haha), so it’s got a soft spot in my heart.
Mo is a 23-24 year old, non-binary. They're around 1,80m (5'11) and a scorpio. They like tea, cooking and travelling a lot. Mo is also a witch and witches in this story work a bit like business-men. If you want a witch to do you a favour, for example, "getting rid" of a rival or bringing back the dead, you can sign a soul-binding contract with one. However there's always a cost. A treasured item, your eye, or... the sacrificed soul of another. Mo only collects souls as payment I fear.
They are quite an enigma. Everyone in the spiritualist society knows or has heard of one another to an extent, even Adanna is fairly popular in her community. But for this person? Nobody knows them. They've managed to stay under the radar for so long. Perhaps Mo's just that good making their clients keep a secret. Or maybe, those who have heard of them never lived to tell the tale. Whatever the reason, it's working. Or at least it will work until events during the story expose their true identity.
This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. If I were a professor I would pin this to my office door.
LMAO
There were like 30 seconds where I was like, “Ah the joke is that Orcas are technically the largest member of the oceanic dolphin family–this is a joke about the whale making false claims about its whale heritage on an admissions form, hence why its lawyer is also a dolphin.” And then I realized, “Oh. KILLER whale.”
Biology professor and law professor using the same comic for very different reasons.
And they don't even pay her!
[ID: a comic of characters from I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl. Aika has a grumpy expression, as her teacher, Miss, puts her hand on Aika's shoulder, and says: "Your employer told you to do what?! I demand a meeting with them!"
Then Miss comes face-to-face with Hoshi, in human form as a kid with dot eyes, wearing a hoodie. Miss stares blankly at Hoshi, with a long "dot dot dot" in her dialogue bubble, before she turns around and says: "...Aika, this is a child." Hoshi replies: "Actually, I'm a star!" End ID.]
You’ve been sentenced to 400 years for multiple murders. It’s been 399 years and your jailers are starting to get nervous.
I was twenty… twenty-five, I think?… when I was sentenced. Four hundred years was a length of time I couldn’t even imagine. It was a length of time I don’t think anyone could imagine, even the judge. It was just a big showy number that let everyone know I’d never see the light of day again. The mages who cast the spells were dramatic about it, practically shouting the part about ‘until death claims you, or four hundred years hath passed, forsooth, thou shalt be imprisoned here’. They don’t waste that kind of magic on most prisoners, but I was special.
The Slayer, they called me then. The Monster of Sentan. I’d killed nineteen people… I remember that number because I was so furious that they stopped me so close to my goal of twenty-one. And I didn’t just kill ordinary people, no, but the Chosen of the Gods. The Great and Good. They were terrified of me. So they locked me away, to die forgotten.
It had been a little less than a hundred years when the king died without heir, and a civil war tore the country apart. When the fighting was all over, the losers were dragged down to the deepest cells under the castle, and the new king and his soldiers stopped and stared at me. “Who… who is this?” he asked, frowning. “Some victim of the usurper?”
People like cooks and jailers and scrubbers don’t change as easily as kings. The same man who’d been bringing me my meals since there was still brown in his hair and beard shuffled forward, hunched and grey now. “No, yer majesty,” he said humbly. “That be a special prisoner, from before the old king died.”
“Special? Special how?” He frowned, moving closer to my cell. “The old king died more than ten years ago. This woman must have been a child then. What could she have done to - “
“Don’t get too close, yer majesty,” the old man said sharply. “That’s the Monster of Sentan… an’ she bites.”
That was true. I do bite.
