Swords, Sorcery, And Then Some!
Howdy, New Readers! Thanks for reading Exiern!
Written by Scott T. Hicken with art by Antipus, the comic updates Mondays. Please check out the Archive to enjoy the earlier adventures of Typh and Peonie!
Exiern contains mature themes and is best for readers 18+.
Probably like any life-altering event, the healthiest thing to do is accept that it happened and learn to adapt to the effects, and learn to deal with the consequences, rather than pretending like nothing has changed, or that it will suddenly change back and everything will be back to the way it was before.
Agreed. Even if the curse eventually gets reversed, Typh will have to adapt to being male again and still will not be the same as before due to all the experiences gained during the period of the curse. There is no going back at this point. To much time has passed.
Not 100% sure, since everything is context… But I don’t think so, if we assume Mag’s comment is entirely a response to Typh’s apology for lying to him.
Typh said that they felt even worse, because of how many lies they have lived. And the lie that Typh lived was that he was hetero. The man he didn’t have the chance to be was a proud gay warrior man. And it was these lies in particular that were weighing on Typh, and making him fearful of the future he might have with Mag being predicated on lies.
Mag’s response, then, is this:
You seem to still be beating yourself up, not only lies you feel you must tell, but lies you have told in the past. Those past lies mean nothing, now.
I think it’s more… It’s OK to be true to yourself. It’s not okay that you feel guilty for not being true to yourself sooner.
Hmmm. An outsider is befriended by the ship’s charming peg-legged cook, who seems to know far too much for a mere ship’s cook. Is anyone else having Robert Louis Stevenson flashbacks?

Wait, are they telling Typh it’s time to let He-Typh go and accept She-Typh is who they now are? o_O

No, that’s not what they are saying.

Are you suggesting he is some sort of amateur privateer?
“Barbecue” was hardly an amateur…
