Kailani confesses her feelings about the situation. And Bluebell reveals something about herself too.
They're bonding.

This is the end of my current buffer. I have the next 3 pages flatted but I'm not entirely certain if I'll make it in time. I think I'll be fine since my Expo will be over with this weekend so I can breath a bit, but just a heads up just in case! We will see in 2 weeks~

Nah, it's not explained anywhere in the current comic because I changed it sometime last year. I only altered the comic's synopsis to match it. The prologue will explain it very clearly, but essentially the Elders and the Congregation felt the Royal bloodline was becoming tainted because the recent generations were not marrying, were not having children, or were marrying commoners or inter-racially. This is considered "bad" because it is not traditional and thus it is threatening to the order. So the arranged marriages were put into place as a method of trying to keep things the same, even if by force. They accomplish this by using the religion as a guilt trip to manipulate the parents into putting their children into it. (It should also be noted the method the couples were paired is different. It was a thorough process vs "grocery shopping" like the old prologue inferred.)

(Extremely late reply, so sorry.) That's interesting! You put a lot of thought into it, and I really like when the lore is really thought out. I'll admit the "grocery shopping" method was interesting in its own way.

So, you plan to redo the prologue to match what you've said at some point?

Aha the "grocery shopping" method actually turned a couple people off on my comic entirely! I can understand why since it IS a little weird having an adult size up a child to be their future spouse. Like it could be interpreted very easily as pedophillic. So it was best to fix that straight away! Unfortunately it's not really shown in the new prologue, it's only mentioned, but I'm planning to explain the process throughout the comic itself via dialogue or flashbacks.

But yes! I actually have the new prologue (6 pages) completely sketched as of... TODAY! I'll be inking them alongside my main buffer and hope to have them completed sometimes by the end of January of next year. That way I can start the year off fresh! I will also, of course, be storing the current/old prologue so nobody can read it and get confused.

Really? I mean, yeah, I guess you could look at it that way, but it's an alien race and their culture is different. It's not much more weird than parents deciding their child will eventually marry this other child and their kids are only 2 years old at the time it was decided. I don't know perhaps I just look at it differently. It would, I guess, be one thing if it was humans doing it, but it's not so the laws of what we preseve as morally correct don't necessarily apply anymore. At least from my point of veiw.

That'll be awesome, I can't wait to read it. C:

AHAHAHA I KNEW YOU WOULD LOVE IT. I never planned on her being gay, but then it occurred to me one day like "dayum gurl you sneaky" and it just SPOKE TO ME and felt right.
The only question now is will she find someone or is she okay being a hot single lady? WE WILL SEE I SUPPOSE.

Kailani you goof. 8)

AlfaFilly In reply to Theplutt97 [2016-11-03 02:39:28 +0000 UTC]

Yes, actually, homosexuality is accepted! It's not really questioned much at all (there are only some cases where, for instance, gay men might be an issue if reproducing became a priority since the female ratio is significantly higher than males. So they would need every male they could. But that's not as relevant in present day). Other orientations can be a bit more iffy depending. Asexuality, for example, would be frowned upon in the case of The Selection event since reproducing is a core responsibility. Polyamory, on the other hand, would be considered weird but not a huge issue.

So as long as there is enough children they dont really care? Wished people thought like that here, Im starting to like Ambivia more then Earth.

AlfaFilly In reply to Theplutt97 [2016-11-06 05:46:45 +0000 UTC]

More-so in states of emergency. Like if the birthrate is low its not a big deal, but if, say, a mass disease killed a significant population then yeah, it would be a "duty" sort of thing for them to reproduce. Ambivians, as a species, could be mistaken for asexual as a whole. They aren't a sexually driven species. So any sexualities expressed are fair.
The sad part, though, is they are open to sexualities on Ambivia but... not so much race. So there's not homophobia but racism is quite prevalent...

Theplutt97 In reply to AlfaFilly [2016-11-10 16:51:01 +0000 UTC]

Thats cool that they are more asexual. 
Im happy that Bluebell can love who she want but sad that she have to go through all the racism, she so sweet.. 
How is it with the racism? Is it like here where so long you look in a special way or is it more about where you were born?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AlfaFilly In reply to Theplutt97 [2016-12-14 06:51:48 +0000 UTC]

Racism is heavy in uh... speciesism...? They don't generally favor any race that isn't Ambivian. It doesn't help that Ambivians are one of the higher ranked species in terms of planetary wealth, resources, and intelligence. So they have what they believe is factual evidence in why they are better. Lanians are the only competitors of this (which went into their reasoning for not wanting them to immigrant) but even they are outranked since they are a fairly recent addition who haven't gotten their footing yet.

They are also racist towards their own kind, though. They don't favor Ambivians from other continents or countries because they are physically a bit different as well as culturally. So it's a mixture of everything.

I see, I suppose that they aren't very popular among other alien species. Or are they arrogant when speaking with others?
What is it that make Ambivia so wealthy?

Other races generally know they are the way they are and accept it. It's like stereotypes at this point, only these are more accurate!

Well stereotypes do come form somewhere. I suppose that there aren't more they could do then be patient with them.
