20 August 2013: Altsplanations 8 (Onyx)
Permalink: http://www.goblinscomic.com/08202013/
For your convenience:
Altsplanations sofar:
Altsplanations: Realities 53 (adventuring license necessary) and 169 (getting mad)
Altsplanations 2: Realities 214 (tentacles!) and 127
Altsplanations 3: Realities 3 (no death by decapitation) and 20
Altsplanations 4: Realities 51 (WizardMax, FemaleForgath, DumbKin) and 131 (cats!)
Altsplanations 5: Reality 98 (extreme violence warning)
Altsplanations 6: Reality 80 (Ruby) (out of archives - forward-back Kliks buttons skip this page)
Altsplanations 7: Reality 54 (Sapphire)
Altsplanations 8: Reality 201 (Onyx)
(edit: corrected Ruby's link)
The list of FMK alternatives: http://duke.a-comics.ru/fmk/, maintained by SpeaksWithMistakes
Side Question:
Now that I reread the Altsplanations, Altsplanation 3 for Reality 20 refers to a coming "Goblins Omnibus" coming soon with Bonus material, from BlindFerret.... Will that still be published by BlindFerret or will THunt look for a new publisher?

Well, this is interesting, albeit not as dramatic as the backstories of the other 2 Kins (probably a good thing ^^).
So, Harle-Kin/Onyx has a crush on Kin 80 (that's Ruby, right?), and Ruby is looking like she doesn't like the cuddling between our Kin and Minmax and is gonna turn against them. So if she does, Onyx is probably gonna side with her...

The site has no page for Ruby anymore, but the image is still online, so I linked that, but accidentally still included the final slash... Didn't even notice in the Altsplanation7 thread, because there have been issues with the forwarding of .org to .com, and later in the other direction....

Re: 20 August 2013: Altsplanations 8 (Onyx)
Dear Thunt,
I have never asked anything of you before. You have written and drawn a great story, and I respect your right to tell it as you wish. However, I am certain that there is a particular panel on your mind, one you are conflicted about. You are concerned that it is too risky, too potentially graphic for us to accept. However, I want to tell you - it will be fine. Everyone will like and accept it, and you have no need to censor yourself.
I am, of course, talking about the foreshadowed Half-Snake Lesbian Sex Scene.
I can see the problems. I know that Yuan-Ti cannot have sex in the same way humans do - I know that it will be a major departure from the established tone of Goblins, especially given the brutal off-screen rapings of our Kin by Goblinslayer. However, I'm sure that this will not hurt your comic's tone; quite the opposite, the Half-Snake Lesbian Sex Scene will counterbalance the pain and torture our Kin has gone through by showing sex as it should be - loving, gentle, and between two attractive women (that part's important). You've already shown that you can push the bounds - you've drawn Forgath and Minmax kissing. Please, Thunt, don't be the Comics Code. Even if you think a sex scene is too graphic, give us something - a mutual grope (though god knows where), a deep and loving kiss, or even a sisterly hug. Not just for your integrity, Thunt, but for us, and particularly me.
Please.

Hey! Why are you reading this? It's bad for your eyes, and there's nothing to see here; no words of wit or sage like advice.... Nope, none of that crap... Still here? Well, I guess you can stay for a little while, but no touching. Ok, MAYBE a little bit of touching, but don't expect a kiss... Oh, and don't expect me to cuddle afterwards, either. This is purely physical in nature, and you can't REALLY want something serious after everything we've been through? Fine... 20 seconds of heavy petting, and that's IT! Annnnnnnd done...

Thunt,
A bunch of your archive pages show the original pages with no shading. Case in point:
http://www.goblinscomic.org/01222013/
In this Altsplanation, you show the "prettied up version" but the archive shows the unshaded version. Same for several pages before and after.

That's because once upon a time Forest got bored and shaded a single panel (the Kinship introduction) in great detail. Thunt couldn't put that up because a single shaded panel in a page would be really weird.jakesdad wrote:Thunt,

Golden giant monkey, reduced a city to a crater, appears once every 22 days...
This sounds like some sort of golden oozaru (from Dragonball) becoming angry and leveling the city with a ki-blast of some sort.
But it could just be a coincidence.
Edit: Ok, it's stated that he takes a sacrifice every 22 days, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the time he appeared as well.

Which reminds me, I thought those pink dots are part of a cute (if a bit childish) make-up, and learning that they are actually death marks was rather cool.
