News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

"The Rose Garden"

Sketch of the 1114th and 1115th pages of TwoKinds.

Transcript

Trace: Rose?!

Trace: Huh…? I heard her. Flora, stay here, I’ll—

Flora: No way! You’re not leaving me alone in this haunted place!

Trace: Stoney? Stay close. Protect Flora, okay?

NOD NOD

Trace: Good boy.

Roselyn: Trace… Detritus….

Trace: Rose! What’s going on?! You can’t really be… a-are you… dead?

Roselyn: Dead…? Not entirely. But I am… less than I was. And more, I suppose. You’ll see.

Roselyn: Not long ago, death was your obsession. Researching ways to extend life, and bring it back. You needed someone to test your work on, and I was all you had left. So when I got old and my time drew near…

Roselyn: You used me.

  • We've already had indications that Rose isn't exactly.... corporeal?
    I presume Euchre is aware of her condition.

    Am I the only one getting Homeworld vibes from this? Creepy-style Homeworld vibes.

    And who assures that Euchre's long life does not have a similar nature? After this revelation about Rose, it makes one think about the supposed "longevity" of Euchre himself, what if in fact "he" already Is he dead and all we saw of the Keidran was actually a simple "avatar" or "physical projection"? (although one well enough made to make physical contact with other material beings).

    Reminds me of "Project overlord".

    The last thing I want is to see Rose say "The Square root of 912.04 equals ..."

  • Never before has "WTF" meant so much. Bad Trace was severely fucked up. How the Hell did Nora NOT intervene in this shit?

    My guess is that Nora knows Trace well enough to assume he just didn't want to lose another person dear to him.

  • Why is Maren in the crystal?
    (Unfortunately, this cannot be seen here.)
    Is it a cell or a magic focus?

  • And remember that he uncapped her powers, or whatever. We will see if he has impressed on her how much he has changed and/or if this is about to awaken something

    I Don't think that's Maren

    I think that's Trace's old wife.

    Which leads me to believe he Mr. Freeze'd her.

    This does make me think of Freeze a fair bit.

    Edit: Looking back yeah it could very well be Maren.

    But this is no less creepy.

    Also why did she refer to someone as detritus?

    Not necessarily.

    As she said ~ Dead...? Not entirely. But I am... less than I was. And more. I suppose. You'll see.

    So we'll have to wait and see.

  • This begs the question of how many more times Templar Trace has broken the laws of god and man.

    ..and if it's wrong to want to find out.

    Detritus is waste or debris of any kind.

    She said "Detritus. Trace." Right? As though they were the same person? Perhaps Detritus is "bad Trace"? Could we be about to see how Trace went from good to bad? Or good to some sort of split person, one good one bad, and bad is called Detritus? Rose and Detritus corunning the estate as some sort of hivemind/uneasy allies? Detritus trying to bring back Saria by infusing Marens body with Roses long and intimate knowledge of Saria, her memories? Also, something I noticed while rereading old strips: When Natani first comes to the mansion and sees a painting of young Rose, she says that even though all snow wolves look alike, Rose looked familiar. Could she have met Roses cousin Euchre at some point? Could he be involved in all this? He did warn Rose to "leave secrets buried, keep him out of that area of the mansion, that he needed Trace here, all safe and oblivious for now? Hell, Eucre HAS to be involved now that I think about it. I'm just now sure how and why.

    She said "Trace... Detritus...", Rose mostly likely was referring to Flora as detritus or to put it bluntly garbage. Also, Natani and Rose HAVE met before, the side comic "The Dragon Masquerade".

    Which of course, I've never been able to read. At least that is out of the way.
