C03P40 – Unwanted groom

For those of you that are wondering what the wedding stuff is about this isn’t the first time Mizha’s had issues with this particular suitor. And so ends chapter three! Chapter four starts, most appropriately, on the one-year anniversary of LeyLines, March 2nd! AND there’ll be an announcement of a change for year two, which I am very excited about!
I’ve succumbed to the lure of Tumblr and got myself an account. Not because I want to be able to post tid-bits of pages that will be posted months from now (my buffer is at 30 pages right now – Chapter four is going to rock so much!!) but because I had a FAR more IMPORTANT task…
…I’m making a Rarity costume for cosplay at Denver Comic Con in June. And I simply HAD to document my progress!
That’s right. I’m a Bronie. JUDGE ME IF YOU LIKE! To my fellow fillies and gentlecolts: *Bro-hoof*
Anybody else cos-players? What was your best costume?

I suppose it might be too much to hope that by “Mizha va Naza and I shall be wed” he means “I shall be wed to Mizha va Naza in a purely symbolic manner through her marriage to my faithful avatar Zhiro”?
Oh well, you can’t blame me for hoping!
I think Zhiro would heartily agree with your interpretation.
Unfortunately for him, he got me instead. >:)
Oh that isn’t good at all…and being that I just read the entire archive last month I know exactly what you (er he) are talking about!
So it’s all still fresh in your mind…Excellent…Then the coming pages will be particularly fun for you.
And I see what you mean with the purple – yikes! I’ll see if maybe I can tweak the code on that! Thanks for pointing it out!
And yeah I look forward to it!
(As an aside…that purple active link is killer on the eyes in the SF dropdown menu!)
I am a cosplayer, though I’ve only ever dressed up as my own character. I’m working on a bunch of costumes, but it’s hard with no budget, no sewing machine, and no cons to wear them at.
As for the page AGH AGH AGH I love you so much. That’s such a horrible twist and I SHOULD have seen it coming but I DIDN’T so congrats to you, fair lady.
Yay! I’m glad I could surprise you! It fills me with fiendish glee. Bwahaha!
Which character of yours did you dress up as? Are there pictures of your awesomeness??
I dressed up as my internet namesake Khy, Dmitri’s daughter. And there are pictures, but I don’t have them at college. It was several years ago, unfortunately.
“By Broken Moon” – is this a specific time of the year, corresponding to a meterologic occasion? Or is it an abstract concept, something that is sworn upon? i.e. is he saying something equivalent to “By May we shall be wed,” or “By God’s will we shall be wed” ?
Is there historical or mythological precedent in the world of Ley Lines for a mortal to be wed to a god?
Nope on (almost) all accounts. But I like the creative range of your theories. I’m being vague because the phrase has plot significance. Dun-dun-DUUUN!
The only question I can answer is your last one. There is legends that the Clever King of Kizhimo married his daughter to the god Vision. Their son was the original High Sage of the va Naza line.
Also, that is a gorgeous page, as have the last few been.
I’m with AriadneArca on this one. Although, knowing you, that means that someone will get disemboweled at the wedding and Mizha will throw herself off the tower in despair. (Also, Tama will get drunk and do funny dances, just so we’re fooled into believing things will be happy.)
Such confidence in my wickedness, SkysongMA! I’m honored — uh — I mean, hurt! Wounded by these unfounded accusations! *swoon*
They are not unfounded! I have 700-something pages of SoG to back me up. And that sad face Zhiro made when Mizha was flirting with Vekken.
Zhiro’s sad faces are a weapon of mass destruction, by the way.
Well then, you best get to a bunker next week.
So her suitor provider her with protection, couldn’t have his precious bride being hurt now could he?
Am most interested to see where this goes, keep it up!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the story. Things are about to get VEEEERY interesting…
Man, this was a great ride. I can’t wait for the rest. Your angular style really grew on me. Very captivating story so far!
It’s funny, I’ve never thought of my style as angular, but that’s the most common comment about it. I just can’t see it! Artist goggles are weird, I tell ya! Glad it grew on you. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
