Twokinds/YMMV


 * Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male: Flora and Kathrin tring to bully Mike and Evals in finding Trace and Eric right after being freed (meaning Eric would most likly reenslave them) is played for laughs, fans were not laughing, this was quickly corrected.
 * Alternative Character Interpretation: Eric pretty much embodies all of the contradictions inherent in institutionalized slavery.- A slave trader who appears to be an otherwise decent man who genuinely cares for his slaves even while he exploits their labor and even uses them for sex. He's a hypocrite but he can claim (with some justification) that by keeping them he's protecting them from others far worse. In short, he's a bundle of contradictions, rather like real world people like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
 * Broken Aesop: The comic is supposed to decry racism and promote equal treatment of others, but both Aesops are undermined somewhat. None of the slaves seem to mind being slaves, and one of the most popular characters is a (sex) slave trader who forces his slaves to obey with magic. And one of the slaves doesn't mind being a slave, at best the rest are not-dissatisfied because they know it could be worse. And the characters regularly point out that the trader is both a bit of a dick and a complete wacko, even if they get along with him most of the time.
 * Recent comics indicate that it's getting back on track. It turns out the slaves were under mind control.
 * The mind control stuff is templar law (who are either chaotic or lawful evil it seems to vary) and said trader seemingly doesn't like doing it, the cast page also notes that he treats his slaves very well and most are devoted to him as a result his brother on the other hand shows what other slaver are probably like.
 * This does however stand in contradiction with his depiction in Chapter 14 -
 * Alternate Character Interpretation runs rampant.  At best, it's actually showing multiple sides to the concept and aesop, putting this under the comic's general Grey and Gray Morality about everything not directly protagonist-related.
 * It has more recently been revealed that Eric had no idea that the Mind Control spell had been broken...
 * Complete Monster: Trace used to be one of these until his amnesia. See High Octane Nightmare Fuel below for the definitive example.
 * General Alabaster was pretty much single-handedly responsible for everything that's gone wrong in Keith's life, all the while being a selfish, unrepentant Jerkass.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Flora getting a nosebleed at the thought of a full-contact massage from Kathrin.
 * In a Meta example, Tom promised a new comic for every $100 donated. He quickly owed everyone twenty extra comics.
 * In which everyone finds Trace and Flora's room. Everyone.
 * Fridge Horror: Eric keeps all of his slaves under a spell (except for Kathrin) that compels them to obey him. Coupled with the fact that he admitted that he slept with some of the female slaves, we can only conclude that Eric is a rapist. ...Unless they were all released temporarily to choose for themselves like Kathrin, or it was just Kathrin he actually slept with.
 * Eric specifies that he is not having sex with Kathrin because he considers her more a little sister than love interest (bummer for her, since she's one Keidran actually in love with him), but also that he is active with his other female slaves. Considering how terrified Mike was about Eric finding out his apparent Gender Bender situation, the implications are unfortunate.
 * Trace considers Flora to be an animal. Doesn't stop him from giving her the hot pork injection (and considering marriage to her).
 * Somewhat justified, as that was one of various times Templar Trace leaked out a bit. He has showed his actual beliefs earlier.
 * Growing the Beard: From Chapter 7 onwards the comic shows a vast deal of improvement from previous chapters, especially the one directly preceding it.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: I let the image speak for itself.
 * Double mention goes to later, when  wakes up, slaughters a bunch of acolytes by liquefying their brains, and then speaks in Black Speech crossed with Many Spirits Inside of One complete with Eye Awaken and Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises.

 * Ho Yay: Keith and Nickolai; Mike and Evals. The latter pair can somewhat be overlooked, considering  Everyone in the comic seems to think that Keith and Natani are like this, the readers know better.
 * About Keith and Natani, Natani is only starting to not think of herself as male. Partially-destroyed soul and all that.
 * Les Yay: Flora and Kathrin's relationship  and right after was somewhat uncomfortable.
 * The Woobie: Poor, poor Keith.
 * Iron Woobie: Literally. Tough species is tough.
