Did her tits get bigger?
>>153069730I think its just that her leash is blowing in the wind so you can see her cleavage properly.

What are the best colours for cussing?
I do like the pinked up glamour girl. She's tall.
>>153069807>top level spookIsn't she just a researcher/scientist. She isn't a spymaster or interrogator despite all the shit she is doing to duane.

please don't be a glamour please don't be a glamour please don't be a glamour please don't be a glamour
>>153070099Sorry anon, Brawny Leg revealed what we knew already: it's a glamour. The question is now how much of Donnavieve's appearance has been changed... Can't wait to see what anon really busted a nut to.
>>153070059Chief engineer of Cresce with the queen's ear and audience readily available to her.>>153070076>it IS kind of a dirty move stealing Giz's restaurant idea from him right frigging there. Low class, not cool v_vA Sharte's a Sharte, no matter the color you glamour them. Have to admit it though, she was smooth. Dirty, but smooth.
The multiple beadman mentions has me second guessing again. Especially since he basically has Nary doing the same thing for him Alderode.
>>153070130Sounds like she's just glamouring herself very pink, like that Crescian dog was. But given what Giz just said I'm half expecting him to dispel her glamour on the next page.
The twist: she's glamouring her chest to be smaller
>>153070290>she's glamouring her chest to be smallerShartes are nothing if not criminals.
Just realized:>Nora likes cute things and wears hearts and pink all the time>Donnavieve shows up glamoured in all pinkThis bitch did her homework. I love it.
>>153070615Never trust a Sharte that ticks all your boxes
what's with all the lesbians?
>>153070718Cresce is a matriarchal society, so there's probably sexual misandry producing lesbians and femdom at a high rate.
>>153069807Sharte pussy is just that good.
>>153069841If she dressed them the way she dressed her dog, that might be a clue.
>>153069841Probably the Waller problem>sorry I was never there for you baby, I was committing war crimes for the nation
>>153069841>I wonder what causes them to not think so highly of herShe probably impaled them on rebar a few times, just to hear them scream.
>>153069730Beadman's Better Bosom can be customised on the sly to increase or decrease breast volume in mere moments. Never doubt Sharteshanian ingenuity.
>>153069807Would you fare better in the face of Donnavieve?
>>153071085>>153071101Nora probably just looked at her children as problems to solve rather than people. I can imagine she could have been very cruel in "nice" ways, made a lot of decisions for her kids without their input and tolerated little failure - and still considered herself a good mom. I doubt she actively tortured them in any way, and they were probably well housed, clothed, fed, etc. but just from what we've briefly seen of her you can see being raised by her would end up feeling oppressive.
>>153069730Pink got that ^.^ going on bottom left.
>>153070059She's not herself a spy, no, just high in Sonorie's confidences. This whole interaction has shown she'd make an awful spy.
>>153069841When discussing that Nora was a mother in her asks, Cope mentioned that there are political benefits to motherhood in Cresce. The implicit reasoning for Nora seems to be she only had kids to advance her career and doesn't actually want them or particularly care about them.Hell, she doesn't seem particularly interested in kids as a concept. We didn't even know she was a mother at all until recently, and how many parents do you know who never bring up their spawn?
>>153071343>how many parents do you know who never bring up their spawnEven putting aside parents always wanting to tell you about their kid, the vast majority of times I hear about peoples' children, it's cause of how they make their parents' lives revolve around them. By which I mean, as primary care givers, obviously parents have to set things just and have to take care of problems that arise and all that.So the vast majority of what I hear is "kid got sick and we had to rush to get somewhere and change our plans" or "when I get home my kids will want me to play with them" or "sorry I had to bring my kid, my parents were busy" and so on. The fact that Nora seems to spend a lot of time in out of the way black sites (or, you know, on wet work missions to enemy nations) and then doesn't constantly talk about how this is messing up having to care for her kids kind of tells you how involved she probably is with them. (Though to be fair, Duane got married and had a kid who is now a mid teenager in between the two periods of Nora's life we've seen, so she easily could've had independent children by now but born after we first saw her. But only just, really).Compare to our Dad Trio and how much their entire lives ended up being directed by the existence and dependence of this children on them.
>>153071397I genuinely don't think Nora would be a bad mom in the sense of letting the kids go uncared for. I just think she would have struggled to let them choose things or solve problems in ways other than the way she would do it. Also you know, in a culture that puts great prestige on motherhood it's definitely possible to have kids early and then realise you don't actually want to be a mom that much. Nora must have been fairly young when she popped out her first child. PLUS if you're doing all this work on Aldish brain control you probably end up at least a *little* bit cynical about all the brain and emotional changes that come post-motherhood. Like, "isn't my autonomy being overwritten aren't I actually becoming less of a person because my brain is reprogramming itself to make this my new highest priority"
I will laugh if Sette tries to recruit Brawny Leg to help her free Duane as a way to get back at Nora rejecting him.
>>153070057Suspiciously so
>>153070076>Stawnees are local shellfish. They get grilled up right in their shells with butter and cheese and served over an array of veggies and grains. Very popular coastal delicacy.What I wouldn't give for a full splash page or encyclopedia entry about the various cuisines in Kasslyne. I CRAVE it, Ashley!
>>153071455Settie has already said she'll try to cut a deal with him, on the theory that Duane would willingly tell plod secrets to a Sharteshanian who rescued him, working against Crescian interests, that Nora will never be able to pry out of him. This could be a sweetener.
>>153071397>>153071426I suppose the question becomes, is Nora better or worse a parent than Nary? I get the impression he at least tried to make Sette a competent gangster, as rough as he was.
>>153071607Nary is the kind of father who beats his kids bloody to "toughen them up", the kind when he comes home smelling of whiskey you know the belt is coming out and it's gonna be the buckle end. Nora is probably the kind of mother who either completely ignores her kids or tries to control everything they do.
Would you a crescian engineer ?
>>153071647Would you, if he wore a wig?
>>153071426What I was getting at is not that Nora didn't make sure her kids were cared for, I'm sure Cresce, with its tangible bonuses for motherhood, has a great childcare system. And a high value agent of the Queen could get all the support she needed.What I'm saying is Nora herself took no active interest in their lives. She made sure their needs and desires would have no impact on her life, to the extent that at no point in the insane past few... weeks? Days? did anything occur which ended up at odds with them. Or any of the obviously off the grid work she'd been doing before. Of course, again, her kids might be old enough to be independent. Still.Nora comes across as text book "distant career woman." No matter how well cared for and looked after such children are, there's going to be resentment at how obviously secondary they are to her profession. The "not even my kids think I'm a hero" also has the sting of "I put in work and it's all for the kids, but these cats done forgot what work is" to it. Not comprehending that the work is antithetical to the kids respect, and the more she pores into it, the less respect they have.
I'd let myself be seduced by a tall, busty pink sharte.
>>153071607I have to assume they have similar goals for their kids : shaping them according to what they want them to be without much care for the means and consequences. And they're both very busy with their job and career so they both fuck up bit time ? I guess the crescian system is better for kids overall if they don't want to be with their parents, while Sette just cannot get away from Nary's influence and her brutal upbringing. For Nora kids may have been a requirement since being a mother is well regarded, but it's not the same as Nary's will to have an heir for his gang. I feel like Duane mogged them both so hard its not even a contest. Alsish supremacy once again, fuck shartes, fuck crescians.>>153071664Ew
>>153069730wtf is this garbage art style? this looks like bad ai art slop. is this considered tolerated art style in 2026?
>>153071607Nora's kids seem to not think much of her, which means she absolutely raised them to be better human beings than Nary did Sette.
>>153069730milk.
>>153071698>Nary's will to have an heir for his gangNary knows his life will be spent spinning wheels while stuck in Sharteshane like his forefathers, and iirc Ash said once that Sette is his only child still living. Nary's not looking to have, doesn't want, and doesn't need heirs.
>>153071343>how many parents do you know who never bring up their spawn?To be honest, if I was a parent and I was at an Orphanage where child-like entities are being totured to keep ourselves and the child sacrifices upstairs alive, I'd try to not mention my kids too. Try not to THINK about them if any of the previous parties are the same age.
>>153072741I'm surprised you think Nora has enough empathy to associate child type waterwomen with her own children.
I keep reading Stanky Leg's dialogue in John Lithgow's voice. Maybe it's the hairdo.>>153069841Kids are ungrateful little shits by default, they don't care about your accomplishments. She could singlehandedly cure the weeping plague and she'd still just be "Mom".
>>153071397>>153071426The asks about Nora's kids mention two are full grown, ones in school still, and the best thing she did as a parent was raise them to be well adjusted enough that the first thing they all did was move far away from her when they could. >>153071426>I just think she would have struggled to let them choose things or solve problems in ways other than the way she would do it.I think this is very likely. She reads very autistic to me, with how she seems to have little tolerance for socializing, minimal understanding of norms, very rigid ideas, and seems entirely devoted to pymaric constructs over people. I'm sure that she wouldn't know how to handle children even with the best of intentions, especially because she likely wasn't particularly interested in having kids for the sake of having them. >PLUS if you're doing all this work on Aldish brain control you probably end up at least a *little* bit cynical about all the brain and emotional changes that come post-motherhood. Like, "isn't my autonomy being overwritten aren't I actually becoming less of a person because my brain is reprogramming itself to make this my new highest priority"Depends how well neuroscience and psychology are understood in Kasslyne. I get the impression we're quite a bit ahead of them on that front. But if they do have an understanding of that, I'm sure she feels some heavy resentment for it, even though I get the impression that her kids were never really a priority for her.
>>153071594Holy shit I haven't seen DotL in ages, is it still on hiatus? I stopped somewhere at the party hiding from a magic shroom storm.
>>153071668>What I'm saying is Nora herself took no active interest in their lives. She made sure their needs and desires would have no impact on her life, to the extent that at no point in the insane past few... weeks? Days? did anything occur which ended up at odds with them.Spot on. According to Ash, her youngest is away in boarding school.>Oh, she [Nora] was probably 18 in Avelpit. She’s a short lady. Then she came back, stepped away from work for a while to recover from all that happened and had her kids in quick succession while finishing her studies. You’re right, her youngest is probably a little too young to be considered grown up, and likely is away at school. No one’s home though, I do know that.
>>153073182Now that you've said that I can totally hear it. Just the right amount of wheedling.
>>153070752sexual misandry sounds like a fetish category
>>153071707I'm sorry, are any of Nora's kids a powerful and majestic goddess? No? I guess Nary wins out then.
>>153073397>her youngest is probably a little too young to be considered grown up, and likely is away at school.Uh oh.
>>153074081That sounds like a point in favor for Sessine's parenting rather than Nary's. And she definitely does not deserve a point.
Based Natty legs
>>153071647Not even with your fag harbl
>>153074143Sessine is about as present as an egg donor, so no. Nary was in charge of parenting, and instilled so many of Sette's godlike personality traits>Super confident>Steals everything>Too smart and busy to read>Has a signature clothing style>Can and will shank a bitch>Doesn't wear shoes
>>153074143reminder Nary's parenting is both what Sessine needed and what saved Sette.
If Brawny Leg pulls the glamor off next page, I'm interested to see what Donnavieve actually looks like.
>>153074195Sure, but her literal magic abilities come from Sessine. And the man. Sette's personality? Yeah, Nary and Sharteshane, and maybe even Duane a little, can get credit for that. >>153074310This is also true.
>>153074352Beadman in a dress with fake tits.
>>153071607Sette loves Nary despite it all.Nora's children want nothing to do with her.Take from that whatever you care to.
>>153071647I find Nora both physically and spiritually unattractive.
>>153075027Very disingenuous statement, anon as Nora's kids and Sette have huge mental differences given Nora's kids have mature brains and Sette's mind is eternally preteen. Abused kids love their parents despite the abuse. Only when they mature they start to look back and think that was not normal/that was fucked up/it wasn't my fault after all.
>>153074352>If Brawny Leg pulls the glamor off next pageBrawny Leg will pull off the wrong glamor and show that his legs are even skinnier than they were.
