@tennoseremel Hey, Tennoseremel, thanks again for the help with proofreading it on our channel! Ver sharp eyes; true, that's something I forgot to add this little spiky decoration on panel 4 nearby her clivage. Now I wonder if I should leave it this way or fix it. Maybe I'll fix it (but I'll not update the artwork/toot here, to not ping everyone's notification) 😊
@Ray_Of_Sunlight There's an "accessory to murder" joke floating just out of reach. (I mean, the queen wouldn't be an accessory, she'd be the murderer, and the hammer would be the murder weapon. So it doesn't really work. But I was *almost* funny, and that counts for something.)
And yeah, I do wish more of the reality-rejecting cartoon villains would stay fictional. :(
@tusooa There is so much interesting background story possible to develop around a magic mirror. I like to think about it like a Djinn who was imprisoned into a mirror and not into a magic lamp. But true: maybe breaking the mirror would release the Djinn, an unwanted outcome.
That reminds me of the character Gaunter O'Dimm on the Witcher 3 game (Heart of Stone DLC), one of the best written character I saw in a video game who is named 'master mirror'.
@TranshumanBlues Oh nice! I still have to play this one, I'm still in "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" since probably more than a year (probably after 2 years on Nier Automata).
I'm really really slow to complete this type of game as I play a little bit weekly, often on saturday evening if my todo list allows me it. But Baldur's Gate 3 is definitely on my list. I'll try to remember about the mirror. :)
Elle a fait plusieurs détournements de ce genre, oui. Elle publie ses œuvres sur l’ex-🐦 ( @ G_R_S__ ) et Reddit, mais il y en a certaines qui sont très 🔞.
Après, il y a sa série originale avec “Emo-girl”, une jeune fille dépressive. Mais c’est très mignon, en vrai.
@collectifission Yes, I saw this one, good one! 😆 (I always try to search other webcomic strips within the theme my scenario is, so I can avoid to accidentally reinvent the wheel...)
@collectifission I always read ‘fairest’ not as physical beauty but of justice and temperament. Snow White was fairer than the queen. It is another way to read or think of the story. It’s possible the queen sought to be seen for beauty only, but there was another whose beauty was more profound. Less shallow.
@JoBlakely@collectifission well not because it was working on the queen before and the second fairest person on a kingdom don't ask a hunter to kill a child and ask for the heart as proof
@andre that would be interesting, I have to say, recent (thousands of years of) history have not seen a lot of ecclesiastical or religious authorities in the hands of women in their own right.
In fantasy, too, while women in positions of regal and magical power have been frequent, I don't recall any story where women have religious authority.

I think you should leave it as it. It’s more amusing that way, IMO 😸

★Nah, just assume she got changed while searching for the hammer :D
Ray_Of_Sunlight@mastodon.social
Yeah, if by "accessory" means threatening with death, of course it'll be convincing, but this also shows how some people are.
Thwy reject the truth because they don't like it, and get mad when they get lied to.
Simply, no consistency.
★davidrevoy
@Ray_Of_Sunlight Yes, that's what this comic strip shows. Denial and then using force to adjust reality.

In this case it seems the wicked witch is actually prettier and the mirror is trolling.

@Suiseiseki Hehe 😆

There's a magic mirror in Baldur's Gate 3 that also responds well to threats. 🤭

Pourquoi sa couronne me fait penser aux cornes de Cell (Dragon Ball Z) ? 🤔
Sinon, sans vouloir te vexer, je préfère quand même cette version, faite par GRS, une artiste brésilienne :

Mignonne la version que tu as mis en pièce jointe. Un twist sympa. 😊

@collectifission For most of the last two centuries, this was the age at which women would typically marry. Especially for royalty and nobility.

Hm. Somehow this is more like a mitre than any kind of crown worldwide I could find.
★Where did you draw inspiration from?
Crowns appear to have a combining element in the top centre.

@andre From pure imagination! ☺️ This character and her first designs came directly from this double page of my sketchbook.
