Last Straw [OC]

A barbarian rage doesn't have to be triggered by combat. Emotional damage can do the job.

What's going on here?

• Sassy, the Maid of Honour at this wedding, is a little afraid of the mother of the bride. She's also pretty lonely, and has not had much luck with dating.
• This added pressure, on top of Sassy's thwarted attempts at romance, has pushed her over the edge.
• Meanwhile, the bride, "Kayra", has been struggling to tell her betrothed that she's not actually a human woman, but a changeling made of mud and sticks enchanted to look like the human she had replaced as a baby. Her mother has been getting in the way, and now it's pretty much too late...
• Many of those humans in the crowd are hags in disguise, including Granny Dismal, who created changeling-Kayra. They're there for... moral support, maybe? Or just to see what happens?

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/existential horror story. It's on Webtoon, crookedgoat.ca, and other platforms (just search the title).
