Page 977
Okay I haven't really commented much on Home, moreso because it's boring as ever and I've been a bit busy with my video games as well as writing my own works. However this page that just dropped deserves some serious criticism.
I noticed this when Iberion and Rogio gave their little sob story about the Snowcap tribe but this plot point keeps coming up with almost every single character.
Most of the fathers in this comic are abusive.
Kargo's Father (presumably) was abusive since he clearly didn't care about the status of women in the MT tribe
Ranach's Father was abusive
Rogio/Iberion's Father was abusive
Felidae's Father didn't 'like' her. While she didn't use the term abusive here the fact that this same exact scenario came up yet again made me roll my eyes.
I can't tell if Kique is projecting or just creatively bankrupt, although both might very well apply here. Abuse does not excuse a character from any type of consequences or their actions that they do. That's the first point.
Inbreeding: For fucks sake, just WHY is this coming up again? For MT, this was very clearly a plot point in early Home but seeing it elsewhere is bizarre, especially with the excuse Felidae gives here. She was traded off for political reasons, that reason being setting up trade. Well if that was the fucking case, why haven't we seen Grayflag appear at all in the 977 pages? Also to expand upon this, if Whispervale knows that they have a limited gene pool, why aren't the dogs there being spread out to different tribes? MT had the excuse that no one wanted to deal with them, Whispervale DOESN'T.
Keep in mind, despite Fjordor being the last dog in his Tribe and ALL 3 of his daughters are elsewhere, why the hell are one of them not in Whispervale because at the very least they could visit their Father and check up on him. Felidae doesn't like her old man, but nothing is keeping her from visiting her sisters that she's never fucking mentioned in all of this time keep in mind. This is something I brought up recently with the concept of "nuclear family" that Kique just constantly refuses to even entertain in this entire comic.
Not going to bother with this piss poor 'relationship' with Ferah or Felidae, but this entire page is just all kinds of plot holes within 6 panels. For my writers out there, there are more ways to show character development than fucking "my father abused me" over and over again, jfc.
As far as the videos go, I'm still out of a computer. I haven't forgotten about them. Every time Home updates, the script does to.
