I really hope that red brick landed in Kaya’s mouth, and not that Kaya’s mouth landed on the brick. That would do some damage to your teeth if you landed on it mouth-first.
yeah that would suck even more and potential nock out a tooth(I’ve seen it happen twice)
Being a drama queen, what’s the betting she put it in her mouth deliberately so she could spit it out for dramatic effect?
I haven’t seen you around!
I think it just fell in there, but she probably at least intentionally let it stay for a moment to create the dramatic effect.
Lol
Considering she landed on her back, landing on the brick with her mouth seems unlikely.
Her teeth are fine and she is fine. No worries :p
Just thought of this, but what kind of dragons are the twins in regards to diet, I doubt they have actually tried it, but quite a few species of dragons can digest metal, and D&D dragons can digest pretty much anything, could Kaya have digested that plastic brick perfectly fine, if she had accidentally swallowed it?
The concern was damage to her teeth rather than her digestive system, but that’s definitely an apt question.
The twins’ digestive systems are almost entirely -human-.
What’s that they say about hindsight being20/20?
Does that count for dragon-kids? :p
Wow she’s probably pretty angry, but she didn’t do anything immediately and I’m guessing Kaya’s more of the type to stop and calm down instead of stop and plan how to most effectively get revenge on the cause of her anger, so it probably would have been worse if she had reacted quickly. She probably will still get revenge though.I hope she didn’t get any legos in her ears!So for my usual question, are any forms of heightened senses common among hybrids? If so which senses most often?
Oh and is it possible for them to have additional senses. I mean this in the broad scientific definition that when used means we technically have a bit over 30 senses, not the common and more specific use of the term that leads to the conclusion of five us having only five
How would they know if they have extra senses? Your question is trickier than you think. Unless a throughout examination is made testing all their senses and testing for senses outside baseline human, they might know colours most people can’t see but didn’t notice or never came up often enough for either them or the parents to notice this. There is such a thing called Tetrachromacy, where a person can perceive four primary colours rather than the normal three.
True, but if one of the well known senses was enhanced at least a little I doubt it would be missed for two long, and another sense getting enhanced or added could just be perceived as another sense or aspect of dexterity getting enhanced. For example its pretty well known that a few different senses contribute to balance, and many animals have one or more of these senses more or less precise or have more or less of the senses total, and I doubt enhanced or reduced balance as a result of that would be too far from human to be allowed and probably would be eventually noticed, even if it wasn’t attributed to the fact that they are a hybrid. Or perhaps a bat hybrid capable of echolocation, or more accurately easily capable since there have been people who have learned to(myself included). There are many more examples I can think of, but I think you get the point
But that’s the thing. You don’t know you have better or worse senses compared to others unless you are in a situation where those senses are directly compared. You suppose that’s the other way around, but practical experience shows that it usually isn’t. And in most situations when that happens in everyday situations for that aren’t up to proper, specific testing. People don’t pay that much attention, aren’t looking for strict logical testing when they are paying attention and easily prone to wrong conclusions.
Take colour for example. We could easily agree on what blue is but what about periwinkle? Without consulting a guide, you might not even know what shade of blue that is (and I wouldn’t either). People who perceive less colours often don’t know about it until they are tested for it. I know someone who didn’t know they were colorblind until they were tested in school. The same is true if you perceive more colours. Being able to differentiate colours is also a skill that artists are trained in, so someone who has tetrachromancy (people who have genuinely superhuman trait, even if only a minor one) won’t know they actually see more colours than other people. Maybe they have an unusual taste in colours or maybe thought of as being good at picking colours (or finicky with colours) but nobody thinks they have superhuman perception of colours even though they do. In fact, the opposite can happen, they are thought to be colourblind because they can difference shades of colours that most people can’t and thus can’t “correctly” identify a specific colour (no, this dress and that dress is the same colour! Look, everyone agrees with me! It’s you who must be wrong!”).
If anything, I would assume that hybrids are attributed improved senses and capabilities that they don’t have. Take your example of a bat hybrid and echolocation. People know that about bats and would think that the bat-hybrid would have that too. Except what if the hybrid was a hybrid of a fruit bat, who don’t have echolocation as they eat fruit? Take another example, Cleo. Should we expect her to have a parietal eye, the reptillian “third eye”? Unless she was asked, you wouldn’t know (her hair obscures it) and unless she was asked, she wouldn’t even think about it (“What do you mean people can’t tell how dark or light it is with their eyes blindfolded?! Don’t you just know?”). And then you could go into whether Benji or Rex have canine-like sense of smell or can sense pheromones (a trait humans do not have) when they actually don’t.
I can understand that, but there are so many cases in real life were senses like these have been noticed from a young age and later fully tested. Just looking at how most of the senses beyond the five known ones were discovered you see that most of them were because someone had it missing or enhanced to some degree for some reason or another. I know it definitely wouldn’t be noticed every time and plenty of mistakes can and will be made, but if its possible there should be cases were it is noticed and recorded especially considering the amount of potential cases there are. Even if it was one in a million chance of happening and being correctly identified it would be a miracle that it hasn’t happened yet because of all the opportunities worldwide, and one in a million is no were near a fair assumption
Hmmm, Kaya isn’t really one to ‘calm down and think’ xD
She’s just calculating her approach :p
You didn’t answer my question….
At least it was just Lego, so no real damage.
Panel 4: OMG, Jin looks so cute!!
Panel 6&7: Oh Kai, you are SOO going to get it for this!!!
Never underestimate legos. I know from many experiences that they can do a lot more damage than you think. It only took one box like that to make a battering ram that did significantly more damage than a real wood and metal one, plus everyone knows how myuch it hurts to step on them, so laying on/in them must hurt
My foot still hurts…!
Point A: there’s no indication that it is LEGO, given that it fell apart after falling; given the patterns of Kaya’s tower, it was solid enough that it would’ve held together if it was LEGO.
Point B: Anyone who assumes LEGO can’t deal real damage has no experience with actual LEGO.
Dragon scales help with avoiding damage xD
I’m never doing a synonym poem again – and I don’t know why I did this time. They’re hard.
Well, Kaya just got tricked,
crashed, stunned, battered and bricked.
She’s looking to avenge;
Justice, return, revenge.
Jai needs to move aside,
away, apart. Beside
Kai is going to hurt.
Battered, buffeted, hit.
Kaya will hit like brick
strong, mighty. Thick
The pair’s play has begun
boisterous, witty. Fun.
His name is Jin, not Jai.
Yeah. I think he meant Jin/Kai or typo and just meant Jin or Kai
You are correct. Auto-correct is an enemy to inventive people.

What did you think of the poem anyhow, jprime?
Yay!! I am smart!!!
Your poems are the cherry on the mint sundays that Robin whips up!
I’m all for a sunday on Monday #RougeAnglesOfSatin
Watch it, Kai. She’s not gonna Lego of this for a while…
Perfect pun XD
haha, the pun xD
The alt. text reminds me Black Mage from 8BitTheater. Are we gonna see a Kai-doken?
A certain dragon is clearly not amused. A lego tower to the face got to hurt and being burried afterwards doesn’t help.
Agreed.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Did not expect to see that old of a reference here.
It didn’t hurt that much, it’s mostly her ego that’s bruised xD
So… Lego her ego?
First 8-Bit Theater, then Order of the Stick.
Kai: XD
Jin: 0.0
Kaya: >:3
Yeah, that’s pretty accurate xD
I know that look. 🙂
Panel 6: “I am not amused”
Panel 7: “This means war”
well she kinda started the escalating process with the yoinked scale and then a not so pleasant apology. Of coarse it never helps when revenge includes destruction and that probably hurt at least a bit more than the scale, or maybe not since their scales should help especially with pain/injury from sharp or narrow things(in this case the edges)
Oh hey CP!
Hello! I guess I shouldn’t care what people call me, but I thought you would use a right way at least the first time you refer to me after I mentioned, but I can’t blame you for forgetting or not noticing when there can be days between comments.
Yeah, seems kinda accurate xD
Not counting reader questions, I saw a lot of mistakes in the new Waffles! teaser. I’m willing to offer my services as a proofreader.
This one was kind of last minute, so that’s probably why. Thanks for the offer, but I got two people that proof read the comic already ^^
It looks like Kaya grew a beard in panel 5 xD
and once again both of us are active to a point that could be called excessive by some. Also lol yes! that’s one tiny hilarious detail as usual
Jin’s curls are working overtime giving Kaya funny features this arc! 🙂
Robin please respond. Please make Gamer Dragons Terraria strip
I haven’t played Terraria, though, so I don’t know if I could make a good joke about it :p
It’s worth a shot if you get the chance (think Minecraft with more of a focus on combat) I recommend the PC version (WAY more content and a more comfortable controls) and possibly bring a friend, you can solo most of the early game, but once you get to the lunar pillars and beyond it gets crazy.
You can just make it that Kaya finds some options loot and then gets rid of it or something lol
Stupid autocorrect. OP!!!
Having played Terraria for all of ten minutes and decided it was very much not my thing, I’d suggest you find a demo, play it for just long enough to have visual references, and have Kai/Kaya get sick of it.
Yeah, the start is slow. I find the mid game more fun once you start collecting equipment and building your combat/exploration loadout but don’t have it all yet, will the next treasure have that lava carm?
Either way, to each their own
I have an Arkhalis and it makes the game EZ MODE I have killed the eye of cthulu like seven times already and slime king twice eater of worlds once
I hope Kai has worked on his running endurance during basketball practice, he will need it very soon ^^
Ha, that’s true xD
Lol! Also read description.
Meant as a reply to Taylor’s comment.
I am repeatedly refreshing the page to look for new comments.
Are you also checking to see if any more responses to the comments for the last page will be posted? He has been late before for one reason or another, so I’ve been checking every 15 minutes or so
I wonder how will Jin react 🤔
He has a good reaction next page :p
Is it me, or is the arm in panel 2 the wrong way?
Looks right to me, left arm falling as she turns to catch herself. Landing on her left side and getting covered
The arm direction is okay.
But on second look it relative positions of arm, box, and stones seems a bit strange. If you imagine that Kaya’s arm hits the edge of the box and flips it over, it doesn’t really make sense that most of the stone are under her arm.
Maybe it was her elbow that hit the rim? I can see in my head the part of the fall where that positioning could make sense, but I can’t put it into words.
Guys! Voting reset on Top Webcomics! Go vote! NOW!
Jeez you sound excited. I’m pretty sure most people know that is updated every week a little while before the new page is added. Did you?
Well Kai, was it worth it? That look….. she’s definitely getting you later!
And Jin is still adorable as he looks on wondering what’s going on!
It was so worth it xD
Let the fight begin! hahaha
My bets on Kai!
Agreed! (We are all evil people lol)
Hey yeet if you still paying attention, have you joined the discord server? I think you’d enjoy it based on what I know about it and you
No, where is the link?
I really wish I didn’t know about the cameo tier subscription. I know I can’t get it, yet my brain has betrayed me by designing a character I wish I could request and every time I’m not thinking about anything I struggle not to continue developing the character. I tried making it into a dnd character to be able to develop the character without obsessing over this but that made it worse and now I just have two versions of him that are both even more fleshed out.
Now imagine Kaya resting on heap of tiny ‘golden’ lego coins.
Now THERE’S an “Of course you realize, this means war.” face if I’ve ever seen one.
That’s probably the most eloquently I’ve seen someone put an expression. And I completely agree.
Jin looks very concerned for Kaya. He’s way too nice for this kind of trickery. As for Kai, he looks a lot less scared than he probably should be based on Kaya’s reaction. Knowing Kaya, I’m going to have to side with the people guessing she put that brick in there on purpose just so she could spit it out for dramatic effect. Either way I expect to see Mr. Romero or Dr. Reiniger come bursting into the room very soon to see what the source of all that noise was. Concerned parents have better hearing than anything else in the animal kingdom, and I’d imagine Reiniger to have a fairly well-tuned ear of his own due to his profession and habit of tapping phone lines. Can’t wait to see how Kaya fires back for this Robin. Keep up the good work! And as always, stay awesome!
Thanks, Alpha 😀
Yeah, Jin is as well-behaved as they come. He wouldn’t dream of knocking over that tower xD
(That’s why Kai had to do it xD)
Also, good pun there :p Kaya firing back xD
Glad you caught that. It was so well hidden even I forgot about it until reading through my post a second time. xD Keep on making your amazing art my friend!
When Kaya crashes, she really crashes.
See that face in the last panel Kai?
That face is a face of your doom.
Panel 5: Glove tossed.
Panel 7: Challenge…accepted!
Real talk though, did anyone else have the sound of Legos shifting around play in their head reading this? The sound of possibility, and disaster.
It is good to see she has enough control that even when surprised, she does not spout fire, or that Lego-like brick would be partially melted.
I imagine that control over their fire valves is an independent bodily mechanic, and so would require the same level of conscious thought and effort as humans, say, spitting. Being sick and sneezing fire is one thing, but I’m sure that emotions running high wouldn’t cause her to involuntarily torch something in her mouth.
Kaya’s a real blockhead.
going from past experiences with my sister, it’s about to get all kinds of messy and destructive right now.
0/~ Gimme three steps, gimme three steps sister.
Gimme three steps for the door.
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps sister.
And you won’t see me no more. o/~
Found this comic yesterday, read through it in one go, and i am quite enjoying it.
Well done, and keep it up!
Still loving the ear-“fwip” in panel four. …AND the expressions. …and Kaya’s -imagined- expression. 😉
Ever played Tower Toppler?
Nnnnnnnnn-0PE! 🙂 (Just had to make sure we broke that 100 mark on comments. 😉 )
…annnndd, yeah; panel 4 is my favorite on today’s strip. AND, the more I look at this strip the more I think Kai may be right. The first 3 panels do all look like Kaya just -may- have hammed it up a bit there. LOL Will ‘The Drama Queen’ now break out in an operatic Aria?? 🙂 That sounds like something the Welsh Halfwit might have something to say about… 😉
Kaya: Kai… of course you realize this means war?
why
That tower fell faster than when it was hit by the Red Legion.
