#143 “A Golden Lion”
Everyone, meet Ruthless; aka, Lady Blackheart – The Lost Mother. Officially. Oh, and the reveals just keep coming! It’s also Ruth & Thomas’ anniversary!
A bonus comic this week, it was originally a part of the last page, but I split it up to give a proper look at Ruth’s reveal. So if you didn’t see the page before this one you might want to check it out!
Yep, I’m glad you didn’t change it from the story.
Also, yes, all the yes, Ruthless is a proper milf.
Quick question… does she use that tail during their ‘fun’? For wrapping or thrusting?
Sure. Why not?!
Fun~
Mother and Monster.
Does this make her a double MILF?

It officially makes her a MOMSTER! MWAHAHAHA!
It seems to me that when Tim talked about Ruth having “worn” a golden lion suit during Halloween(s) past, she probably had more clothes on at that time, than we are seeing here. However, it is nice to see Lady Blackheart’s face without a hood covering much of it. On the other hand … the two lightning-bolt hair segments are part of Ruth’s hair style, and have never been portrayed as part of Lady Blackheart’s hair. Considering how significantly different Shadow’s hair style changed between her Nox and human forms, I’d say this is a visual error here.
The “human” form spell could allow the noxian to choose an appearance; so the changes are more extreme since Shadow still hasn’t learned how to do it in a subtle way.
On the other hand, the lightning bolt bangs could have just been tucked inside Ruthy’s hood.
or Shadow could have just braided hers, not all hairs need a magic grooming like yours apparently does 😛
Why…Yes. Yes, it does.
I would say NILF (Noxian I would like to fuck) 😀
NILF! NILF! NILF! NILF!
That implies we’ve seen a noxian girl we wouldnt like…
Nightmare’s Bitchiness might be enough to earn a dislike.
Oui x💯
So their anniversary just so happens to be on Halloween? I can’t help but think that that’s more than just a coincidence.
It was planned, I’m sure.
They had a Hallowedding.
HA ! Looks like the theorists were right !
JET FUEL CAN’T MELT STEEL BEAMS
It’s TRUE! Science proved it!
Not that science means much these days.only the rivets that hold them in place
OOOOOHH HELLLL YEEEESSSS !!! <3 <3 <3
She did the same pose back on page 11:

Haha, It’s a purposeful call back. Also, it’s great to see how far I’ve progressed art-wise.
It is quite noticeable, but I must say, you’ve definitely improved.
It’s pretty awesome that Lady Blackheart, before which her Brothers & Sisters tremble at the very mention of her name, is this domesticated mom in the human world.
Well. Ssooorrt of “domesticated.”
Suggestion, Brandon ..? If you have any ‘cutting room floor’ art (sketches, character sheet, rejected alternates) of Ruthless from this anniversary installment, maybe put them up as a Vote Incentive? Kind’a due for a refresh.
( * You don’t know me by this name, but I was anon to you in another time & place; been following ever since. Thank you for sharing! Look for a ‘Webcomic General’ on /aco/ for honorable mention and fanmail. * )
HOLY **** the talk THEN the golden lion how did you do this in a week and made it look noice
thicc
Hmmmm.. welp that reveal I saw coming but god damn that was worth the wait. 🙂
YES!!! FINALLY!!!
Now all of us who have read the original and let our voices be heard now that this reveal has finally come to pass!!
“Oh my God!!! Timmy’s mom is Lady Blackheart?!?”
Said absolutely no one.
I guess the real reveal is that Thom knew about Ruth’s true form.
So, Tim is a half-blood, or Brandon-sensei will use some old soap opera cliche?
(hm, Ruth said in #95 that she was at the top, but alone, so maybe not)
That page also shows Thomas in silhouette, so ya, Tims a half and half.
Which makes me wonder if at some point he will be sprouting claws, ears, or a tail.
Come on Brandon, even if its just a concept sketch you should do it!
You know the fact that Tim was not as scared to begin with could be an inborn immunity to Noxian powers that would make others fear without a way to reason or respond… just a thought..
It’s a good sign, that I reveal a long-standing talking point and the discussion doesn’t dry up. Now there are so many other new questions!
Well, we all pretty much figured Ruth was Blackheart. But even the original story didn’t quite reveal much about what it meant to be a half-human and Noxian.
We readers don’t yet know for sure that Tim is half-Nox. He could be Tom’s son from an ordinary human association (the bio-mom might have died in childbirth, for example), before he met Ruthless. Therefore the truth of this matter is another Future Reveal.
True, but if Ruth and Shade can use the spell to blend into this world, I’d still love to see Tim use it to go the other way. A Noxian Tim doing a tail wrap with Shade? The fanbase would explode. Now THERES a voting incentive!
Despite what I previously wrote, we need to keep in mind that in this story/universe a magic spellbook exists. Possibly there are others. We do not know what limitations there might be on magical capabilities. And since almost by definition magic allows ordinary-physical-world rules to be ignored or otherwise violated, we should accept that it is at least theoretically possible in this story/universe that Tim is half-Nox. But I would not put a lot of belief into it prior to the author telling us the truth of the matter.
I knew it! So now what?
Now we wonder if Tim is a half breed or perhaps a child from a previous marriage/relation ship? When does tim find out about his mother? How many Nox are in fact having illicit relations with humans? Whats behind the door that was revealed? Do I keep the box or take whats behind curtain #3? How long before Terminus ends up on cheaters?
99% sure that’s Tim’s Mom making him half-Noxian.
It does beg the question though if this is his actual form or does he have monster features that he doesn’t know of and instead his Mom just cast a glamor on him when he was younger and “locked” him in his human guise.
That would be something interesting to think about and it could lead to an explanation as to why he looks human with such a NILF as a mother.
