Heart Guardians Part 21 - Panels 17-32
Added 2025-09-25 02:00:04 +0000 UTCI had to re-write the latest Being Fiona strip, so I've decided to swap it's update slot with Heart Guardians to give myself another day to get that revised strip finished.
Anyhow...
Big reveal here about Toby and Robin's relationship! If I have time one day, I might make a comic that tells the story in more detail of how it goes (although it doesn't really have a good happy place to end the story), but in short the original timeline before the Shadow-man's actions forced Toby's magic to subconsciously intervene went like this:
Cassie becomes a Heart Guardian, invites 16 year old Rob to join her team. Rob becomes a female Heart Guardian much like Scott did.
Rob takes advantage of his female Heart Guardian form and starts a double life as Robin, Rob's out-of-town cousin who's visiting for a while.
Deciding to prank Toby, Rob in disguise as Robin, flirts with Toby.
The prank goes wrong and Robin finds herself developing a crush on Toby, but Toby is too occupied with chasing all sorts of girls and doesn't want to commit to any one girl.
Rob comes out to Toby, convinces Toby to date her, but Toby has trouble keeping his eyes off of other girls. (Or does the magic prevent Toby from remembering that Rob is Robin?)
After a rocky relationship, Robin and Toby get married, and Anna transforms Rob permanently into Robin as a wedding or engagement present.
Toby really loves Robin, but struggles with his womanizing. Robin separates with Toby a few times because of Toby's cheating, but constantly forgives him despite her better judgement.
But none of this happens due to the threat of the Shadow Man killing Rob if he becomes a Heart Guardian, so Toby's magic awoke early, changed the course of fate to save his future love, and put Robin on a different path where she will have a happier life.
Comments
Robin becoming a Fae was an accidental consequence of the Shadow man's meddling. Or another way to look at it, Robin become a Fae was caused by Toby's magic in reaction to the Shadow man's meddling in order to protect Robin.
