JFC Eara... I'm just gonna mention just because of one-page-a-week webcomic time: I feel like its been a REALLY long time of this woman just being super mean to Casey, so I want to say (very minor spoilers) this is the last page for now of her being super mean to Casey! :) ...To make room for someone else to be mean to Casey! (: Just kidding!...or am I?

Comics of the Week - Week 7: Heavy is the Crown

Whether the leaders of a circus, or a common person in the middle of court intrigue, these comics illustrate how being in charge is never as easy as people think it is. (Song Credits: Daughtry)

Kings of Sorts is a fantasy/sci-fi comic about the struggle to remain kind in an unkind world. It follows Hana, an optimistic village outcast, whose knowledge of magitech puts him at the center of royal court conspiracies! (I love KOS! Any Izzy enjoyers will love Baby, she's so cute. And the emotions in this comic are so good, one thing really distinctive about it besides the amazing traditional art is the way that expressions and gestures are drawn out in detail, each moment of processing emotions is included, like that was something I missed when I stopped doing animation but Jacki shows you can do it in comics.)

Cirque RoyaleThe royal circus may have its twists and turns but what do these clowns get up to when the show is over? (Another one I read and love! Maybe I'm biased as a clown lover but the world building and exploration of different identities for so many characters is great and the characters are really charming. Also while I really wish I could think of a better way to describe this because saying I love fantastic racism makes me feel like a freak buuut the way oppression is explored with the fantasy clowns and mimes and other types of people is really good! XD) [Webtoons Mirror]

(Wow guess I'm feeling chatty tonight, BTW just because I had less to say about the other COTW's is not any mark of quality, any that I commented on I like and any that I didn't are on my reading list, I just haven't gotten to them yet!)

"You don't need to concern yourself with that, just accept and go back to normal." Eara brushes off Casey's question. He tries to protest, "But-" "HA!" Eara laughs suddenly before coldly saying, "Anyone with half a brain would have figured out ages ago you were a changeling." She pokes at his head and he cringes away. She looks down on him, "My spells are powerful but you would have outgrown any disguise glamour years ago if you weren't giving it power of your own." Casey looks up at her miserably as she continues, "Even if it wasn't conscious you already knew all this so why start caring now? You don't have to hurt them any more than you already have, you're not the tailor's little angel, you're a little monster and you're lucky I'm giving you a way out." She pauses her tirade and Casey squeezes his eyes shut and lets out a little whine really not wanting to listen to her anymore. She grabs his wrist, "Just listen to me," She puts the necklace in his palm, "do what I tell you," As she talks her demeanor does a 180 and she holds his hand reassuringly and says, "and it will all be fine." as she says it she smiles sweetly.
