What's going on here?

• Tamilda is an orphan teen who was, for a time, part of Singing Cricket's adventuring party.
• She and the rest of the cast are attending the wedding of a changeling, the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby, whom they recently discovered and befriended. (The poor changeling has her own problems, which will probably get addressed soon.)
• Tamilda has had a few story arcs in the series, and has recently started discovering some things about herself.
• The wedding day story starts a few episodes back. A lot of storylines have split off at this wedding and will eventually come together.

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/adventure/occasionally horror story. It's on Webtoon and other platforms. Also !LoveAndHex@lemmy.ca. ^(And Patreon if you like early releases and extra stuff. Or get the book!)

The fantasy trope that everyone of a given species shares the same language always seemed a bit funny to me.

Co-author credit on this comic to my daughter, who came up with the concept. (She makes a lot of comics about dragons, but she's too young to share them publicly.)

Granny Dismal doesn't joke, bartender.

What's going on here?

• It's the Changeling's wedding day! And no, she has not succeeded in coming out as a changeling to her future husband.
• Kayra and Granny Dismal do not normally look like this - they are in disguise as a human family. Hags are not usually welcome in society, but these ones are special to the changeling.
• This episode is a parody of u/bryankellydraws's excellent "True Tales From the Bar" comics, but it's still a thing that happened at the wedding.

True Polymorph can give an owlbear human shape and intelligence, but it can't give him understanding of humanoid cultural norms.

What's going on here?

• Kayra lives with her "husband", a retired adventurer named Singing Cricket, and her coven, who are her mothers and teachers.
• They are arriving at the wedding of the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby.
• Kayra and the rest of the coven are in disguise as a human family. Hags are not usually welcome in society, but these ones are special to the changeling.
• Charlie is an owlbear that Singing Cricket adopted by accident while trying to protect a baby house. Taking a Discworld-inspired cue, the hags decided to polymorph him into a human and bring him along.
• Sassy, a half-orc barbarian/bard, first appeared in the comic on a date with a goblin. It didn't work out. Now she's a bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding.

(And Patreon if you like early releases and extra stuff. Some patrons have sent me their D&D characters or OCs, which are starting to show up as wedding guests!)

There's also a book! You'll find it on Amazon (just use your country's site), or Comcraft.

When you True Polymorph a creature, it gains the mental statistics (intelligence, wisdom, charisma) of the new form it takes, so is it technically OK for Nanny Muk to hit on Charlie? Or does it matter since she's a green hag and has probably done a lot worse?

I am aware that this episode will do nothing to quiet the people who think that Granny Dismal and Nanny Muk are alternate-universe Discworld witches. But when you've got powerful witches, a fancy event, and a feral monstrous pet, what other option do you have but to bring him into play?

• Kayra lives with her "husband", Singing Cricket, a retired adventurer named Singing Cricket, and her coven, who are her mothers and teachers.
• They were invited to the wedding of the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby.
• They don't normally look like this -- Kayra and the rest of the coven are in disguise as a human family. Hags are not usually welcome in society, but these ones are special to the changeling.
• Charlie is an owlbear that Singing Cricket adopted by accident while trying to protect a baby house. Now they're all one big family.

What's going on here?

• This girl is "Kayra", a changeling made of mud and sticks enchanted to look like the human she had replaced as a baby.
• Changelings are supposed to fade and die after a few weeks, but this one did not, and has been living the real Kayra's human life, and grew up hiding her true nature - even from her own parents.
• Now she's an adult, getting married, and has a complicated relationship with her mother.
• She still hasn't told her fiancé the truth about herself, though not for lack of trying.
• Attentive/longtime readers will recognize Sassy from a goofy one-off comic from a few years ago. I guess now it's canon.

A Tiff & Eve guest strip by me (she's not on Lemmy, so I'm posting here on her behalf).

True Seeing is a sixth-level spell for a reason... some things should remain unseen. Kayra's potions are so strong, her True Sight can see through the fourth wall. (At least, that's my interpretation of what's happening here.) Not a bad hook for a campaign.

This is a Love and Hex guest strip by Fran Sundblad... you have probably seen her work before. I reciprocated with an insane Tiff & Eve comic of my own.

And maybe I'll do something with the Love and Hex Lemmy community - join it if you like!

This is the official (?) Lemmy community for Love and Hex! I'll be posting comics here, but also welcome questions, fan art, commentary/discussion, or whatever y'all are interested in doing with this comic.

Love and Hex is about Singing Cricket, a retired adventurer, and Kayra, the young night hag who once tried to steal his soul. Instead, she stole his heart. It's basically The Addams Family meets Bewitched, in a Dungeons and Dragons world.
