I always forget just how little Raz got to know about Sulvain back then... But thank you Sulvain for making it clear our (and your) beloved Star Boi is well and truly alive 🥹

2025-03-10 20:10:33 +0000 UTCOh, long haired Raziol owns my soul. I hope he still has Sulvain's cloak🥺
Kaiotee
2025-03-10 15:51:34 +0000 UTCBased on how long Sulvain has had that cloak (even all the way back to the 1100s) I’m betting it has some sort of charm on it to help preserve it. I get the feeling Raziol kept it too. 😆❤️ If he did, Sulvain will probably feel really touched. That cloak has a long history, almost as long as his own, and I’m sure it’s precious to him. I have a theory that it was given to him by his master after he was raised from the dead, and that Udaya eventually embroidered it for him. 🥰 I went back, and he’s wearing the cloak with his crusades armor, BUT it hasn’t been embroidered in that picture. And KaiJu mentioned the pattern is an Indian design, and we know Sulvain has always loved embroidery from the bonus comic. I can’t wait to see more of his backstory. 💕

2025-03-10 11:06:19 +0000 UTCI WAS THINKING ABOUT IT TODAY 😭 about a scene where he take it out and give it to him back. But it's probably so fragile it's not wearable anymore. I mean if it is wearable I won't complain too. We have a vampire and undead I won't be telling that a cloak surviving 300 years is too unrealistic 😂

2025-03-10 03:56:38 +0000 UTCI'm looking at this page again and I reallllyyy want to show you the dress I found the other day. I already removed the bow and if only it was gold, but I'm excited anyway (it's again uploaded on our discord server so the link is long and looks scary) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/593168515201105940/1334133783343140956/IMG20250129130113.jpg?ex=67ccdca8&is=67cb8b28&hm=129ef1f49e26863e0e1a2bbf9c5bd2264a0075128e282a4c9fe779c903249849&

2025-03-08 11:55:14 +0000 UTCJust as I was getting used to seeing Raz with short hair, that last panel hit me. He looks absolutely gorgeous. I am so happy that they've finally reunited and they're slowly beginning to talk things out. They have a long way to go but I'm excited to see how things go!

2025-03-03 22:49:43 +0000 UTCSul, sweetie, you need to do a little bit better communicating dear. Our starboy doesn't understand fully what you are and how you still live. You'll have plenty of opportunities to talk about other things now that you two have a literal eternity together 😗
Roedii
2025-03-03 21:41:30 +0000 UTCI’ve reread the entire series so far probably about 10 times 😭
simquall
2025-03-03 18:05:23 +0000 UTCOi! Stop freaking your forever boyfriend out by not explaining things properly Sulvain!!! Granted I doubt anyone knows about what Ras's mom did to save his life, which is what probably saved him from going off the rails with Kitty Venom. But still. You gotta chill out and actually make sense my little zombie child.

Atlanas E. Kildarin
2025-03-03 12:32:02 +0000 UTCHe’s not used to be talking about this with anyone. Surprised literally anyone knows what happened after he’s spent 303 years hiding it. It must feel so exposing and raw
Lee
2025-03-03 11:36:22 +0000 UTCI think it had to do with the artifact Hargrave used on him too. It weakened his powers a lot, which was Hargrave’s intention. He said some of the effect lingered, and it even made it difficult for him to fight the other necromancer in the woods. So maybe he couldn’t sense them consistently or from as far of a distance as usual.

2025-03-03 07:21:44 +0000 UTCS: Was this The Creature? R: oh, you mean Kitty? S: ..what R: Her name is super hard to pronunce so I'm calling her Kitty S: 👁️👄👁️

2025-03-03 07:12:59 +0000 UTCDoes reincarnation works in this world 🤔🤔 hmmm
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
2025-03-03 06:33:10 +0000 UTCSulvain gets paid a lot for his necromancy services, and he doesn't eat, so he wouldn't have a lot of ongoing expenses...
Juliette Wade
2025-03-03 06:18:04 +0000 UTCI mean, I think you're right, but I don't think that was a lie. I think he's literally spent hundreds of years looking for Raziol in every face he sees, even though he was certain Raziol was dead.
Juliette Wade
2025-03-03 06:13:56 +0000 UTCAtlanas, thank you for that image!

2025-03-03 06:07:30 +0000 UTCI'm thinking gold braid would be amazing.

2025-03-03 06:01:26 +0000 UTCHey there no shame in that game! I hope you recover soon!!
Missiek43
2025-03-03 05:36:00 +0000 UTCI assume the ligelumes sensing may be distance sensitive and you can't just easily tell which are who's (since he didn't know who's they were and figured out it was Raziol from the cloak) And perhaps in a stress of dying they are easy to pick up? "Louder" almost?
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
2025-03-03 05:31:22 +0000 UTCEvery time there is a leigelumes panel I get so excited, I really struggle with that type of linework and y’all make it look so effortlessly elegant
S Mcnamara
2025-03-03 05:07:53 +0000 UTCCurrently recovering from and injury and so the reread is becoming a very frequent activity 😅🫣
S Mcnamara
2025-03-03 05:03:33 +0000 UTCI see that Raz is processing the info, but I don't feel like he is ready to tell the all truth about himself🦁🦇
Iselin
2025-03-03 05:01:27 +0000 UTCBut it's such a good word and makes so much sense! Patricia C. Credentials used something similar in her Enchanted Forest Chronicles series. Like if The Force was tangible and could be tugged and pulled like invisible strings to make magic happen. Very cool concept.
Emily Rochester
2025-03-03 04:38:57 +0000 UTCI'm excited to explore more of KaiJu's spin on vampires! If Sulvain sensed a traditional vampire, it would probably feel very similar to himself. But Raz feels very much alive to him, and he never actually died to be reanimated. Can't wait to learn more about this!

Sang Steppenwolf
2025-03-03 04:32:27 +0000 UTCOh yeah, Raziol wouldn’t know Sulvain knew about Kitty! Or that Sulvain killed the one who did this to him, let alone *how* he killed him. (Giant smoking pile of bones some poor church caretaker saw and said, “Whaaaaat?! I’m not paid enough for this!!!” 😱)
Atlanas E. Kildarin
2025-03-03 04:32:18 +0000 UTCOh my God Sang. Now I'm wrecked.... 😭
Missiek43
2025-03-03 04:31:56 +0000 UTCI know, I kept thinking about how that nice suit was ruined in the ruckus and it made me sad. SO fashionable. (Where did Sul get the money to drop for it, anyway...? 🤔)
Emily Rochester
2025-03-03 04:31:00 +0000 UTCSo I had this terrible thought in my head pop up, and if I have to suffer I'm taking people down with me. "When I saw you in the church, I feared it's effect would claim you in time. But you live." So he sent Raziol away, with the promise that he would try to find him should he wake... all with that idea in mind. That promise was a lie, regardless of him not knowing how long he'd be asleep. Sulvain crying as he watched him leave wasn't just because of uncertainty. He was under the impression that Raziol would die anyway.
Sang Steppenwolf
2025-03-03 04:30:27 +0000 UTCI’ve seen it! That would be so cute!
homebody_adventurer
2025-03-03 03:56:00 +0000 UTCOMG Raziol in the suit Sulvain bought him.....and his long hair! 😭
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:33:50 +0000 UTCImmediately
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:33:10 +0000 UTCWhat if Raziol somehow kept Sulvain's journal?! OMG I would scream and cry and be so happy. (Even though to may be rotting at this point, I don't care)
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:31:55 +0000 UTCDo we need to put them both in the "get along shirt"? (Have you seen that where a Mom shoved two siblings in a giant shirt and made them stay that way until they quit fighting?)
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:30:56 +0000 UTCOMG if you sell them I will chuck my wallet at you....TAKE my money, please.
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:29:38 +0000 UTCYessss do you ever just get so excited to reread Novae with all the new updates? Like all of this is going to flow so nicely when we can read it all at once .....and by all at once I mean spend the entire day neglecting everything and binge reading. 🫣😂
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:26:14 +0000 UTCKaiJu said he switched to English after he called Sulvain's name because that's the language he's used to speaking at the moment.
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:24:38 +0000 UTCThe Abs!!! Absziol!!! Raziabs... Cough... What were we talking about about again?! 😂
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:24:00 +0000 UTCCan Sulvain sense Raziol's ligelimes now?! I remember when Raziol "died" Sulvain saw them stretched thin, to the point of breaking, then he couldn't sense them anymore. What happened that he can see them now? Was he just panicked and unable to connect to him back then?
Missiek43
2025-03-03 03:02:32 +0000 UTCSulvain never told him about the necromancy, only that he can talk to spirits. So it's a big "what the fuk babe" moment for him probably xD
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
2025-03-03 02:55:56 +0000 UTCSulvain you have to understand that you are giving no answers and rising more questions for poor Raziol Also lore drop Raziol is alive 💕 I suspected this because of the abs/metabolism Raziol will realise Sulvain is literally dead in few moments.. oh god..
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
2025-03-03 02:52:43 +0000 UTCIs Raziol speaking in English, or French?
Emewyn
2025-03-03 02:45:05 +0000 UTCI suspect "ligelumes" is specialized magoi terminology and he wouldn't expect Raziol to know it.
Juliette Wade
2025-03-03 02:38:55 +0000 UTCAgreed! Especially if it were done with couched embroidery rather than printed. I may have a craft project in my future...
Juliette Wade
2025-03-03 02:35:29 +0000 UTCIt's hard to know what Raz is responding to, but that could conceivably be a "Wait, honey, are you dead?" moment.
Juliette Wade
2025-03-03 02:29:53 +0000 UTCOmg that would be such a cool hoodie design, saltandcookies!!
Alyssa
2025-03-03 02:24:12 +0000 UTCRight?? I feel like these would make such a cool hoodie design. 10/10. Would wear.
saltandcookies
2025-03-03 02:21:51 +0000 UTCAgjfjgkg I really wanna read the next page already! I’m so curious as to what raz’s explanation is.
OdacioChoco
2025-03-03 02:18:53 +0000 UTCI’m curious to learn if Sulvain is calling them “life threads” instead of “ligelumes” to make it easier for Raziol to understand, or if there was a change to the language over time. Or maybe it’s just the literal signed interpretation?? Also that last panel of Raziol is so frickin’ gorgeous! And his eyes when Sulvain brings up the creature! 💔💔 We know he was researching starkitty a little back in the library and maybe now can at least get a few more answers about what happened to him. And Sulvain, of course!! Ahhh I’m loving ALL of this!
Alyssa
2025-03-03 02:17:50 +0000 UTCOoo, that’s a good point! That was a pretty big bomb for Sulvain to drop and just move on from. Based on the way the conversation has been going so far, it might shift back to the questions he has for Sulvain rather than answers to the ones Sulvain asked. I think it’s also possible that Raziol is shocked Sulvain knows about the creature. He wasn’t there when Sulvain killed Luc and sealed the creature away, and I can’t remember if Hargrave mentioned anything in front of them. He also doesn’t know Sulvain had been investigating it before it attacked him. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. 🥰
saltandcookies
2025-03-03 02:15:10 +0000 UTCOh wait, it doesn’t even look like Raziol’s is looking at Sulvain or his hands in that third panel. 😦 So he might not even be focusing on the signs. Is he still hung up on what Sulvain said a moment ago?
Atlanas E. Kildarin
2025-03-03 01:51:40 +0000 UTCI love the design you chose for the life threads! Making them look like they flow along both the skeleton and organs? Just muah beautiful.

Jay Parker
2025-03-03 01:44:13 +0000 UTCI am really hoping so.
Juliette Wade
2025-03-03 01:33:45 +0000 UTCSulvain, I’m going to need you to be the one to answer his questions right now. There’s a LOT about your makeup that he does not understand. 😅
Brooke
2025-03-03 01:32:36 +0000 UTCSTAHP 😻 I LOVE IT
Nicole Jones
2025-03-03 01:28:51 +0000 UTCI bet they kept each other's Buddhas. I would love if they had also kept the capes.
Juliette Wade
2025-03-03 01:27:05 +0000 UTCI knew it!!! Raziol’s life threads never fully snapped! That’s probably how he could tell Sulvain’s lips felt cold at the masquerade—because he’s still warm and alive. 🥹 (Not all vampires are!) I hope the hints Sulvain just dropped are enough for Raziol to make the connection that Sulvain is undead—although it would be even better if Sulvain explained it to him. Maybe we’ll get some more backstory?

2025-03-03 01:17:16 +0000 UTCalso that subtle sulvain’s cape comeback……………… the biggest question is whether they kept each other’s capes. please. i need to knoW.
Fond Phantom
2025-03-03 01:17:16 +0000 UTCI think he’s realizing it too!
Atlanas E. Kildarin
2025-03-03 01:13:51 +0000 UTCHoney maybe you should explain yourself a bit more before you start asking him questions
Annika
2025-03-03 01:13:19 +0000 UTCIs Raziol suddenly realizing something in the third panel? “What does he mean? My life threads are not like his because mine are alive?” Did Raziol just realize that Sulvain isn’t alive??? I don’t think they ever discussed life threads together though, so maybe he’s just remembering the bite.
Atlanas E. Kildarin
2025-03-03 01:11:51 +0000 UTCI am so here for them to finally have this talk because it was gonna have to happen sooner or later. The truth comes out in the open!
simquall
2025-03-03 01:07:07 +0000 UTCOMG I can't wait to see what Raziol has to say to that!!
Ty Waldrop
2025-03-03 01:02:47 +0000 UTCI love the look of sudden realization on Raziol's face...
Juliette Wade
2025-03-03 01:02:25 +0000 UTCsulvain that was not a very good explanation buddy 😭😭

Livi
2025-03-03 00:57:59 +0000 UTCPlease, please, please!!! Let the next several pages be a backstory/explanation of how Raz survived the bite and of Sulvain explaining his condition exactly.
