Julie and the Mercenary

This commission for Lord Replacer features two of their OC's getting it on! Between this and TRW, it's a week for giant-assed milfs around here and I'm alright with that lol. Had fun working on this one, hope you guys like it! 

This Romantic World Page 319

I didn't exactly plan it this way, but now that it's finished this feels like the most serious page of TRW to come along in awhile. To me, anyway. I hope you find it to be an interesting one though. And if you have any guesses on who Mandi's husband is or what her relationship to Vincent might be, I'd love to hear them. 

Fourth Spin: Casey and Warren

Casey and Warren win the last vote for this summer event! This party isn't quite over yet though. The next Monday pin up is the finale!

Jane had to give Casey credit on this one. When her spin landed on Warren, nobody would have been surprised to see her refuse, even if that meant being banned for life from Jane's future parties. Casey stepped up to the task though, even if she clearly wasn't happy about it.  Bria, on the other hand, was not looking too comfortable watching her current girlfriend get creampied by her ex. 

It was getting late. A few of Jane's players had gotten bored with waiting their turns and had abandoned the game. The house was getting trashed and everyone knew that once Liz put on her pirate hat she was too drunk to be horny. One way or the other, this game was nearly over. 

It was time to raise the stakes for one final spin! 

This Romantic World Page 318

This may be the bouncing-around-iest chapter of the whole comic, but I'm hoping this will all tie together well enough by the end. This chapter is meant to feature as much of the cast as possible while still taking place over the course of a single day. 

That's all I've got for now, hope you like the milf with the huge ass! :D

Jane's Revenge

This Commission for The First Sword is fully canonical and takes place after the events of their previous one, where Millie humiliated Jane at a game of strip poker!

As Jane squirmed and drooled while tied up with her own sex rope, she still couldn't believe how fast her plans had unraveled. The cards were rigged, the table was rigged, the house was rigged. She'd thrown this whole party just as an excuse to put together a crowd to humiliate Millie in front of. And yet somehow Millie had seen through it all and beaten her again. 

But the worst part of all this wouldn't be known to Jane until she bumped into Millie in the halls at school the next day. After being dominated so hard by Millie twice, Jane was starting to feel...weird around her now. She needed to restore the natural order by winning the next game, no matter what! 

TRW Strips #104

Another semi-canonical one here, as this is definitely a real conversation these two would have in the story if I had room to show it. 

I thought newcomers might benefit from a glimpse at Elianna's relationship with her parents, as it will come up more as the story goes on. Hell, maybe non-newcomers as well. Ben and Luka have been featured in commissions and canonical pin ups over the years, but they haven't been in the actual comic itself since January of 2020. 

That's all for now, hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

This Romantic World Page 317

EDIT: Forgot Derek's backpack in panel three like some kind of chump!

I think Kayden needs to be rebooted! :O

Before Elianna started her anti-lewdness crusade, I imagine her as someone other girls looked up to. She was the whole package after all: tall, smart, good at sports, classy, compassionate, etc. I figure it would hit even harder for someone facing an impossible task if they were normally used to success in everything else they set out to do.

Case in point, in that second panel I picture Holly and Kristina as being less mad at Derek for messing with Ellie than they are at him for seemingly getting their hopes up for nothing. Looks like things are working out for them after all on that one though!

Third Spin: Nikki and Bria

Nikki and Bria win this week's poll! Nice to see a lesbian choice win for variety's sake, though I'll admit I kinda stacked it that way by having two of the three choices be girl on girl. XD

If it was up to her, Jane would have kept spinning the bottle all night. She was immensely enjoying watching her classmates be paired up at random, but she began to fear diminishing returns as the night wore on. People were starting to get drunk, for one thing, which wasn't great in a sex game for a variety of reasons.

More than that, there were some social ramifications popping up as well. Bria wasn't happy about Nikki lying to her, but she was downright content compared to Casey. Casey had grown increasingly, vocally frustrated when the bottle hadn't landed on her, combine that with having to watch her girlfriend fuck someone else and Jane was beginning to wonder if inviting her had been a mistake. This girl was known for smashing shit when she got angry.

Was it time for the ultimate spin? Her big finale? No, not yet. Ever the gambler, Jane decided to push for one more spin before that.

Totally Sluts

This commission for our own Kaldonis is fully canonical in a sense. It takes place just after the heist during chapter eight of the comic, where a sexually frustrated Millie went home, stuffed her face with junk food, and had a very zany dream. You can find the full story, written by Kal and edited by me, in the attached PDF. Hope you like it! 

This Romantic World Page 316

I hope that Elianna doesn't just come off as "dumb" in those middle panels, as that's not my intent. What I'm going for is someone who has a goal but is sort of stuck in a holding pattern, as they've already tried everything they're willing to do. Everything they're willing to do without a little push, anyway. 

TRW Strips #103

My thanks to PupManny for the question, and if you have one of your own, ask away!

It was a challenge to try and come up with a coincidence-proof name for a comic. I didn't even succeed entirely at the time, but I finally had to pull the trigger and call it something. There's a song from 1990 by Dana Dawson called "Romantic World," and that was a punch I was just willing to take in the end.  

I don't know if Milo Manara's "Click" series was actually influential, or if anyone remembers it but me, frankly. It stood out to me because it was it was the first time I ever saw porn in a comic that wasn't drawn in a Japanese hentai style. Other than the artwork blowing me away I remember very little about the comic itself, and the books are HIGHLY collectible these days so maybe this is one of those inspirations that will have to stay in my distant memory. 

That's all for now. If you're playing Baldurs Gate 3 I want you to know how bitterly jealous I am. (They release the PS5 version late just to be jerks, I feel.) And I'll be back Thursday with the next TRW page! :)

This Romantic World Page 315

Part of the aim of this chapter was to check in on/feature more characters than any before, and we're well on our way here already! 

Since last we left this group, Derek has become the unofficial third member of the posse. I figure that no matter how much he might disagree with Elianna, remaining in her presence is still much better than having light fixtures fall on his head at random. Kayden has been afraid she'll tell Derek to get lost at any given moment, and he's starting to get excited about how she, miraculously, hasn't done so yet. 

Cross Promo: Tentacles Thrive

Here we go! My first ever cross-promo of this nature. Thank you for taking the time to check out Tentacles Thrive! If this gets our audiences intermingling, I'll consider doing more of these in the future. Can't hurt to network more, right? Anyway I'll let them take it from here. 

In the realm of Tentacles Thrive, you will be discovering new tentacle species, mating to create new species and to strengthen the chance of survival, or conquering the world through strategic battles. It is an SLG game with a love sim element and real-time battles.

- Discover/breed 60+ Tentacle species, each possesses unique mating scenes and bonding stories, as well as special benefits to offer on or off the battle (100+ animated scenes and 225,000 words of stories so far!)

- Unique hand-crafted frame by frame or 2.5D animation for breeding, battles

- Real-time strategic battle with a simple card game like element

- Detailed, more cinematic Thrive Events at max level for some species (in development)

We are also showing some in-game stories using comics.

The project was started with the goal of understanding how to create great content, with the belief that even if it’s just adultish games, it can be done better! If you have the same belief and enjoy the crafts, check out Nonoplayer’s Patreon! 

Cross Promotion Test Run

Hey gang, I was contacted by another creator to do a Patreon cross-promotion event recently. We've been planning it for over a month, and it's going down tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous I'll fuck it up, frankly. So here I am testing my own Google Doc copy/paste to make sure it displays correctly here. Critiques are welcome! Let me know if you think there are any words or phrasing changes I could use to tap-dance about my wares more effectively. XD  

Hey I’m Reinbach, and I’ve been making smutty comics on the internet as my full-time job for over eight years now!

I’d describe my work overall as a “slice of life porn comedy.” My comics take place in an alternate world where the free love movement of the sixties never ended. Sex is open and casual, and committed couples are slightly rare before age thirty or so. A supernatural element laces the setting as well. Otherworldly demons are known to meddle in the lives of my characters from time to time.

My comic, This Romantic World, revolves around a large cast living in a small town with an especially hedonistic reputation. We’ve got the bad girl, Casey, trying to juggle a polyamorous relationship with her ex-stepfather and her girlfriend. The nerdy girl, Morgan, aspires to become an amateur dominatrix. And then there’s Abbey, who wants Casey so badly she’ll set the whole town on fire if that’s what she has to do to get her. And those are just to name a few.

The star of the story is Elianna Valette, the self-proclaimed last pillar of sexual decency left standing in her generation. She envisions a chaste world of pounding hearts and hand-holding lovers inspired by all of her favorite anime, and she’ll do everything she can to reshape her hometown in that image.

But the story isn’t entirely contained to the pages of the comic. Earlier this year, along with my friend and programmer, Kaldonis, we completed a visual novel that serves as a canonical prequel to the comic.

In this choice-driven VN, players assume the role of Isaac, who is contracted by a sexy giant demon to help her root out an even worse demon that may have possessed one of his classmates. The visual novel features over a dozen characters to interact (and have sex) with. Each with their own dynamic facial expressions, limited animations, and unique questlines to follow.

Our next project, however, is a bit more ambitious! We’re currently working on a fully animated point and click adventure, built in the Unity engine. Set in the same universe as my comic, players will take control of detective Roman Graves as he goes on paranormal adventures while trying to keep his sex addiction a secret from his superiors. We’re hoping to have the first build ready later this year.

If I’ve caught your interest, you can read my entire comic for free at my website link below. If you like what you see, you can find more exclusive rewards at my Patreon and Subscribestar. There you can find pin ups, bonus strips where the cast of the comic answer your questions, Discord server access, and more. Thank you for your time, I hope to see you there!

Second Spin: Kayden and Stephanie

What's this? A cropped main image? Here's the deal: I want the freedom to dabble in more extreme fetish content every now and then to keep things interesting, but I also get that it's not what many of you signed up for. So I have a bit more of a delicate touch when it comes to presenting such works in the main feed. Anyway the point is that the "wildcard" couple choice actually won the Discord poll this time around! This pairs Kayden with Stephanie, (who has so far only appeared once in the comic ever, on page 188) and Stephanie has a giant dong. Hence the cropped main image. On to the story!

When Kayden's spin landed on Stephanie, it provoked a wide range of reactions.

Some, like Jane, were thrilled. Jane knew this would be Kayden's first dick-girl, and she was delighted that his first time would be in her house in front of everyone. Others murmured their disappointment, as they'd been hoping Kayden's spin would land on them. Many others. Lydia, Parker, Nikki, Kristina, Liz, and Mary to be exact.  Even Zane let out a huff, as he had long maintained the idea that Kayden is pretty enough that screwing him doesn't make you gay. Chloe, still rattled from being caught naked and dripping by the police moments ago, let out a cynical cry of "Oh that is BULLSHIT!"

Not helping things was Stephanie's relative unpopularity with her classmates. She was just so unbearably perfect and insufferably posh that Lydia was pretty much the only one stuffy enough to get along with her. Even after the bottle landed on her, Stephanie stopped the whole game for ten minutes until she finished her cup of tea before disrobing. It was precisely that kind of thing that was most people's issue with her.

Kayden, however, became an admirer that night. The mess the two of them made would take quite some time to clean up. Jane made Warren do it. No reason, she just never liked him and he was easy to boss around. Meanwhile the crush Kayden developed on Stephanie was instant and obvious. He would proceed to follow her around like a pet for the remainder of the night, but whenever she tried to engage with him directly, his face would turn red and he would start stammering uncontrollably.

Well before that, however, Jane spun the bottle a third time.

This Romantic World Page 314

For this page, my intent was for Abbey (along with the audience) to learn that she now has a lot more than just a preference for large breasts. She just found out that huge tits can do the same thing to her that a hot load in the face does to Parker. Shame she had to discover this in front of a crowd, but at least she has muscle-babes on hand to help with a quick escape! 

TRW Strips #102

My thanks to ScuzzBucket for the question, and if you have questions of your own, please ask away!

So the twins are down anytime, anywhere, but Abbey has reservations about having sex with her closest friends. I picked this question because this topic may come up again during the course of the current chapter of the comic. Hope you like the strip, and that your week is off to a good start!

Hermione's Blowjob Lessons

This commission for (and also written by) Slaughterbug features my take on Hermione giving Ginny a blowjob lesson that's a bit more than Harry signed up for! As usual I did my best to make sure these are obviously meant to be adult versions of the characters and are not intended to look especially like their Hollywood counterparts, and I'm proud of how this one turned out! 

This job got me thinking about the concept of "sex magic" and how it would affect the lore of any world it existed in. My guess is that it would be a world rife with comedic injury and death. A world filled with jaded detectives smoking cigarettes over the body of the latest poor bastard who thought he could magically transform himself to have five extra dicks and still have enough blood to keep his body alive. 

These are the things that I think about when I can't sleep at night. Any sex magic scenarios to share? I'd love to hear them. 

This Romantic World Page 313

EDIT: Originally forgot Casey's thong and Abbey's freckles like some kind of chump! 

C'mon, Trish. The first rule of lying is to not provide information that your accuser didn't. XD

Whew, pulled a late night on this one, mostly because I was frankly so happy with it I just couldn't stop messing with it to try and make it better. (A nice diversion from the reason pages usually run late: that being me going insane trying to get a pose to look right.) I might be just extra tired but I don't have a ton else to add here off the top of my head. I do want to mention that I haven't forgotten about Liz, I just moved some things around so it will take a bit to get back to her. Hope this scene is keeping your interest in the meantime!

First Spin: Chloe and Derek

It was a close vote, but Chloe and Derek pulled ahead late in the game to win the  Discord Poll! Who will be next? :O

Derek was right on this one. Chloe isn't a lifelong Castlewood native, but she's been his classmate long enough to know better than to tempt fate like that in his presence. Derek was cuffed naked on the spot as a suspected serial arsonist. However, after a bit of discussion, it was revealed that the arresting officer was a rookie transfer from the neighboring town of Bishop Meadow. Apparently his new colleagues had forgotten to brief him about Derek Maestas, how nearly all fires in Castlewood are connected to him in some way, and, by whatever god you believe in, each and every investigation has revealed such occurrences to be genuinely accidental in nature. Everyone in the Castlewood police force knows Derek by name, and they rarely even bother taking his statement anymore unless they're having a hard day and need to laugh.

Luckily, Casey had been fast to hide the alcohol. Once the rookie officer was certain that everyone in attendance was a legal adult, he slowly backed out of the house in silence, taking one last look before disappearing out the front door. Despite numerous petitions made by the young Valette heiress, there was currently no law in Castlewood against a gathering of hedonistic young perverts, and the party was allowed to continue.

No sooner than when the squad car had cleared the driveway, Jane spun the bottle again.

This Romantic World Page 312

One particular trope in relationship-driven stories that's always rubbed me the wrong way is the "misunderstanding." You know the one. Guy is helping his hot coworker carry something heavy, then they both trip and land suggestively on top of each other just in time for the guy's girlfriend to walk in! He's all "Honey! Wait! It's not what it looks like!" And laughs are had by no one. 

So why am I trying it myself? Well, I think I might be able to get away with it if I use a delicate touch here. I realized that what really bothers me about the misunderstanding trope is when the consequences are severe or even tragic for the characters. The misunderstanding is such an inherently silly gimmick when you break it down, as 90% of the time it could be solved if the characters just communicated like adults, so devastating repercussions from them just feel unearned and out of place to me. 

So, for the moment, Casey thinks "we need to talk" might mean "I'm dumping your ass" and not "your ex-stepdad put a baby in me." I hope I have your confidence that I can pull this bit of drama off without making it frustrating to sit through, and that you like the page itself! 

TRW Strips #101

So not only did Casey never wear this exact outfit during the pages of Switch itself, but I don't think the "Crazy Holland" nickname ever made it into anything but the side stories and commissions either. I'll admit I'm not exactly killing it with the continuity here, but I still wanted to take a minute to show what Casey dressing like this and making a loud scene in the hallway is reminding her classmates of during the current pages of the comic.  

That's all for now, hope you're looking forward to the next comic update this Thursday! 

A Lois Lane Sketch Just for Fun

Last night I decided to check out that new Superman cartoon before it gets inevitably purged from existence by that one guy nobody likes who took over HBO. And I have to say, I found anime Superman to be pretty charming. Like many, I think Superman should be allowed to be lighthearted and I'm often disillusioned with dark, broody takes on the character. I'm a big fan of Lois in this version as well, especially of how insanely overzealous she is to make it as a reporter. Most versions I've seen present her as an already-established and successful veteran that's looking for a challenge, so I think it's a fun twist to see what that same fire would have been like when applied to a college-age Lois breaking into journalism from the ground level.

Side note: Lois sure has come a long way as a character, hasn't she? In the original comics she was easily the biggest antagonist our hero ever faced. Move over, Lex Luthor, make way for the shrill, nagging harpy who cannot wait to ruin Superman's life to advance her own career. Not so in the new cartoon, thankfully. In fact, Superman himself seems a bit de-powered in this new show, as in he seems to actually get hurt from regular fights. I think this was a fantastic idea because it opens the door for Lois and Jimmy to actually be able to offer help during a crisis now.

Anyhow I think the show is off to a strong start, and I'm looking forward to more episodes. How about you? If you've seen it or just want to talk about Superman, let me know in the comments.

Final Fantasy Three Way

This commission for Trillmatic features their FF14 Viera OC getting it on with a Roegadyn and a Miqo'te in a nice Eorzean tavern! I'm a fan of the game myself, in case my esoteric jargon isn't making that obvious. I'll keep playing FF14 off and on until the servers shut down, I bet. But in the meantime I hope you like this commission, as I'm proud of how it turned out! :)  

This Romantic World Page 311

One hurdle I must occasionally vault in my line of work is just how much fantastically huge breasts can get in the way of conveying basic visual storytelling as far as posing is concerned. Specifically, Abbey's recently increased bust size (which I will state one more time that I actually did on purpose for a change) really hindered my attempts to get "woman peering around a corner" to look even close to right no matter how many stock photos I referred to. Makes me feel like I'm missing some golden comedy opportunities by not having some of these ladies knock stuff off of counters with their chests on a regular basis.

I wondered if I should have had some dialog from Abbey and the twins in that final panel. I guess I thought it would have been a bit redundant. Abbey's expression clearly conveys that she thinks this is her big chance, I think, but the twins aren't as enthused. I hope that conveys what I was aiming for well enough for the time being.

And that's all I've got for now! I hope I have your interest in where this scene is going next! :)

Spin the Bottle With Jane

It's time for another TRW summer story! Jane is hosting a game of spin the bottle, and since it's her house, the players will be expected to do a lot more than kiss whoever their spin points to. So for the next few Monday pin ups, I'll put some random couple combinations up for a vote on the Discord server to decide who gets it on with who. I hope this sounds as fun to you as it does to me, as I'm excited for a chance to pair up some characters who otherwise wouldn't have much to do with each other in the main story.   

For context, this party takes place earlier in the timeline than the current pages of the comic. This frees up certain characters, like Shiro and Parker, to be in the running. Though the pool will be bigger than just the ones shown here in the pic, some characters like Elianna and Morgan won't be eligible for obvious story reasons. I want to keep this canonical. Also we're sticking with the eighteen-year-olds for this one, but if this whole thing is popular I'd consider doing a sequel sometime with the parents and teachers having a party of their own. 

Why am I spelling out the rules like this? Because I'd like your ideas for what random pairings you'd like to see! I've only got a couple in mind off the top of my head, so if there are any two characters you'd like to see hook up, please let me know in the comments! 

Our Very First Animatic

You're all invited to check out our test run here! Animatics are something I wanted to experiment with for awhile now. I personally think this first one turned out great, and I appreciate the talent of the team who brought the zaniest strip I ever made to life here. 

But let us know what you think! And if there are any existing strips or scenes of the comic you'd like to see get this treatment in the future, I'm wide open to suggestions right now. 

This Romantic World Page 310

You know, a little quirk about being a fan-supported content creator is that I respond to every comment I get here at my subscription sites. Seriously, if you have ever left me a comment here and I didn't answer, it's because I genuinely missed it somehow. 

So, with that context, maybe you realize now why blatant narrative fake-outs are pretty hard for me. Case in point: these two are NOT going to do it in the hallway on the next page, Elianna and Miss Holt are in this building for crying out loud. They wouldn't last a minute before getting busted. If I didn't feel the need to answer comments I wouldn't have said anything, but I don't want to spend a week smiling, nodding, and backing away slowly to anyone who mentions that they were looking forward to Casey and Bria going at it in the hallway. I'm going a different direction on the next page that I do hope you like, but as supporters, you deserve to be in on the ruse here. 

That's about all I have to say on this one. I'm of course quite curious to know what you think of what's developing here. Hope you like the page!
