I am Sonokeeper, writer for Grim Fate Comics! My ancient username actually matches that, but my display name is stuck as Fire32. :P Also, Bobbydando == Eldrik Aethervial, Bobbydando is just his HF account name.

Are you interested in supporting the comic and/or seeing next week's comic today? Check out our Patreon at https://ouo.io/hLteK2 to see the full-sized, HD pages, participate in the monthly bonus comic idea submission / voting, and more!

This looks great. I might consider to join. Will there be more instances of tight vore like this? I really like it!

@brakstar:

There will be more tight vore in this comic, although there will be other stuff as well. Issue #1, Plant Food, is going to run for over 120 pages. :D

I'll be making a gallery on g.e for the monthly mini comics as well once the second one is in. Both patreon-decided mini-comics were heavy oviposition, but there was a unanimous vote in favor of my "not three in a row" rule (some are even pushing for a stricter "not two in a row"), so next month's mini comic will not involve ovi. Someone suggested a tight vore concept, maybe it'll win the August vote (It fared pretty well in the July vote)?.

imercenary you obviously don't pay a lot of attention to QnA comic pages at all then, cause the QnA have a lot of the answers you are looking for. the pace of a long comic is meant to be slow and drawn out. Not all comics are going to be 30-40 pages and done.

Base +7, BrokFib +6, daniengrey +6, 1x1x1 +1, unknownshadows +5, KazeZeroL -6, Jenkitsune +7, Gabygabycandid +6

Well.. although the Q&A comics*** do delve more into the background of some of these characters, I think Plant Food can stand on its own.

The main comic makes it clear that:
> Rika & Safi & Amber & Katarina were on the crashed airship.
> The airship crashed into some kind of horror jungle.
> Rika & Safi want to regroup with Amber and escape the jungle
>> Rika can sense location of something in Amber's bag.
> Katarina has something against the others that were on the airship. Murderously so.
> Juniper was not on the ship. She's been trying to find her lost aunt. Both she and her aunt are botanists.
> The monster plants want to vore/oviposition/etc these women.
> The women do not want to be eaten/stuffed with eggs/etc.
> Some mysterious entities are watching this from afar.

There is good deal more that can be inferred from the first 40+ pages, but the above is outright stated/shown and I think it is enough to follow the comic thus far. We don't the whole background, but we know the immediate desires of the characters and the gist of how everyone relates to everyone else. The only exceptions are Sylvia/Saundra - they've been inferred to also be from the ship but that's not quite explicitly stated (yet). Also, Larkane is right that this is a long comic.

***The Q&A comics are mostly safe for work. I've considered adding all of them to the end of this gallery (so it would be "All current main comic pages" followed by "All current Q&A pages") but I'm not sure if people would find having to find each week's continuation somewhere in the middle of the gallery annoying or not.

"You're obviously in love with your characters cause you named them,"

Yes, because the only time you would name your characters is when you're 'in love' with them, not because they're characters in a comic.

"Why would I read a Question and Answer for a webcomic? "

To learn more about the comic, the story, the characters, etc.

@imercenary

The comic on this page IS the main comic. There is no link to it, because this is it. The gallery above has it. That's what I said in my previous comment.

I can link to other places it is hosted, but since you've already seen it (it is what you were commenting on), there is no need to do so. All of my comments refer to stuff in the main comic I.E. in what you have seen.

To add to two comments ago - Saundra has since made it clearer that she/Sylvia are also from the ship.

@Larkane

Although it is true most hentai (that are not very specific sorts of plots) are going to suffer from some pacing issues regardless since time spent fucking is generally time spent not moving the plot forward, that doesn't mean I don't care about the plot. I certainly like to have folk comment on the plot!

That said, I still feel what has been explained thus far is what is needed to have some idea what is going on. Issue 2+ is going to be more complex in the plot department as well - we were going to do far more episodic comics but have since decided otherwise.

Base +9, AmoraSilver +5, Darkstorm Zero +6, KazeZeroL -6, Jenkitsune +7, Gabygabycandid +6

"You know I am gonna stop thinking for a while."
One of the most honest statements I ever read in this kind of media.

Base +3, scoutxr28 +6, Darkstorm Zero +6, KazeZeroL -6, somercet +7, Jenkitsune +7, Gabygabycandid +6, Bane13 +53

The extra Safi arc feels a little forced in the context of the scene, and I felt the previous fade to black was just ambiguous enough about elapsed time and how she broke.
But hey, I can certainly see why your subscribers voted for her. Her sarcastic tone and sassy internal monologue has easily made her the most attractive character in the story.
You know that's some serious sensation on page 35 when her stalwart stream of thoughts suddenly matches the moans outside.

58-59 now have brought us into "come for the porn, stay for the plot" territory that I can only surmise has to do with the inter-dimensional overlord who made a cameo earlier.
This plant(s?) was stated to have been given its power and presumably consciousness from that guy, but we viewers don't know what that's like yet. Is it a sentient colony a la Planet? An uplifted demon plant with an artificial mind? Maybe some dude from another reality that was gifted the form of rape plants from an ill-considered wish?
It definitely seems aware of being observed in what looks to be the flooded fantasy mirror of the other lab.
"The Diners" doesn't seem to be a real book and is probably just a vore reference, the books on the left just suggest arcana and craziness, the books on the right perhaps some insight into astral projection or possession of plants. The LCD monitor tells us this lab is at least at what we'd consider current day, but the ham radio and swirly-antenna'd TV again highlight eccentricity. Maybe they're the easiest to re-purpose. The power cables appear to actually plug into the magic circle.
Of course, most interesting of all is the blackboard. Memory record+soul bits and Theseus' Paradox suggest reconstituting a person. Whether that means from the plants, or as a means of travel to another world, or to resurrect the dead remains to be seen.
Maybe this unknown viewer wants to go there or steal someone away.

I am enthralled by this story. You could probably run a SFW web comic out of this world and be relatively competitive with anything out there.

So, as you can see with page 69 / updated page 68 we're trying something new color-wise. Patrons overwhelmingly preferred the coloring tweak, so we'll likely be updating the rest of the color underwater scenes next week.

Edit: All the recent underwater scenes have been updated. Page 13/14 have been updated as well (also, 13 has more color now!).

Alright, all underwater scenes have been updated. Well, I suppose the viewing of Amber on page 15 (18 in gallery) isn't using the tweak but that's tv for you, eh?

You might also have noticed that the early Amber scenes are getting more colorful in general. You can thank our wonderful patrons and color drivers for that!

Whose who (and what's happening to them as of page 154):

Safi is the fox gal, yes. She's trapped in a pod, but the liquid is pouring out.

Josie is the black-haired elf woman. She's Juniper's Aunt, and recently damaged the pod Safi is in. She's getting shocked in the most recent main comic page.

Juniper is the blond-haired elf woman WITH glasses, and she's currently headed to somewhere or other as part of a Plan(TM).

Saundra is the freckled lady that's trapped in the other pod.

Rika is the woman that's still alive underwater.

Sylvia is the blond-haired elf that had earth magic, and is currently bound in the coconut.

Neriah is the bird woman that's also bound in the coconut.

Mitra has never been shown on screen, but has been referred to as being a third woman bound in the coconut. What she looks like is unknown.

As noted before, next week I'll be removing the bonus vacation stuff.

I love this comic, but it feels like the pace has slowed to a glacial crawl... it feels like we've been watching the same girl fight the same vines for a year.

Base +6, Yokou +6, Daedal +6, Etic +8, Gabygabycandid +6

Hrm... on the sameness, I suppose it's because they various ladies involved ended up being in very similar set-ups. This scene ended up being longer than origionally planned, and I think it might have been better if we tweaked the coconut set up so that the three ladies were trapped a bit differently.

As for What's Going On.. well it's actually pretty similar to my last big comment.. anyway:

> Safi & Saundra are seeded and trapped in pods that are floating through the sky on a path leading them deeper into the jungle. Saundra has freckles and her reddish hair is more of a RL coloration. Saundra was with Sylvia back in the caves before they both got caught.

> Rika is in an underground lake, trapped in a Jellmock seaweed plant, and has hair that's a deeper red than any natural RL color.

> Juniper is trying to get the plants to release Josie back on the surface.

> Sylvia, last coconut survivor, is trying to slow down the process of the plant absorbing her for a quick boost of magic.

> Neriah, Katarina, Mitra, and Amber have been digested by various plants and are dead. Their souls, or at least what's left of them, have gone through some sort of salvaging process and will likely be used as materials for something else.

Base +17, Daedal +6, Gabygabycandid +6, Shaknah +16

shit, I hope they don't. but if they do, I hope they at least manage to take the forest down with them. drop a magical nuke or something. or infect it with some horrible plant disease.

Anyone know if going back and coloring in the rest of the older pages is in the cards? It's not the end of the world, but the consistency would be a bonus on future readthroughs. Still, really like where the story is going so far. Looking forward to seeing if any of them are getting out of this alive.

Base +17, Daedal +6, Gabygabycandid +6, grubie +5

At this point I really don't know whats going on anymore.

Base +6, Cattapratta +10, EscapedDreamerD +6, Gabygabycandid +6, grubie +5, Gullman +1

Dragonaira has it - as long as Safi believes the plant can't kill her in the dream it really can't do it. Everything going on in the dream is either the seeds
A) Trying to come up with a plan, which it's indirectly having Safi do by having her subconscious fill in the memories "Amber" would have (Because the seeds are extremely limited mentally - Safi was correct that the entire dreamworld is borrowing from her own imagination).
B) Using the plan to trick Safi into thinking that the situation's changed, and that they CAN kill her after all.

Safi's soul is basically the nutrition the seeds need to fully develop their own consciousness.

----

As for "the whole point"... I mean we had Juniper escape, and things are looking hopeful for Josie. The original Willow Palm not only lost a fight but was literally killed. The remnant w/Sylvia, even if it succeeds in converting her into a new core, won't restore the original plant's consciousness. It's dead, she'd at best be a more direct successor. Stoneslime Creeper has had a ~33% win rate (although it's still alive).
Edit: Stoneslime also failed to catch Josie. So 1/3.
Edit: Oh yeah, Jellmocks also failed to catch Josie (flashback). So they're only batting 2/3.

What are you talking about, leddis4? I've been working with Bobbydando/Eldrik for years, and I have not had any issues with providing critique. I am easy to work with, granted, and Eldrik himself would note he is not thick-skinned when it comes to insults. There's a difference between "The ear is messed up", "The ear is messed up you hack", and "The ear is wrong, as I would expect from someone like you.". Eldrik can handle the first example just fine.

@WRVBU762 Safi is immune to her own freezing breath. The seeds have not fully fused with her, so they are only partially immune. Since the seeds are very vulnerable to cold, being only partially immune is not enough.

(If Safi was not immune to her own magic her breath would at least freeze her teeth, and it has not done so).

Granted, greatly lowering the temperature of the air in her stomach could cause discomfort.

----

Immunity to being directly harmed by their own magic magic is common. For example, Josie can't burn herself with her fire. However, if her fire set a branch on fire, the fire on that branch could burn her.

20 pages ago was.. in the middle of the Safi scene, which ended? We're 9 pages into the Rika scene, 12 if you start counting from when Safi went off to save Rika. Unless you're counting panels, in which case 20+ would be 3-4 pages. Or you're including the previous Rika scenes, which is a point. Well, it won't be much longer until you get answers one way or another. It's good to know whether a section is spending too much time or two little on the sensual stuff vs moving the plot forward though, thanks for the input! Granted, we've gotten mixed messages (some people want the jellmock section to never end >.>) but it's useful to know these things as Vol 2 gets further ironed out.

-----------------------

As for "what is going on": Jellmocks are about to digest Rika in lake. Safi is above lake, trying to break through bars to reach lake (bars are the ones from the very first lake scene, Safi's basically trying to enter the lake chamber from the OTHER side compared to how they first entered). Katoka/Horchestra/etc are watching from some other realm.

If Rika is digested most of what's left of her soul will be going to the other realm to be used to make a ghost doll. The jellmocks have some scheme regarding that doll, and at least part of it involves passing a message to a different doll. In general, they seem to be working as some sort of double agent..? They're still devouring ladies though. Katoka suspects something is up, Horchestra is refusing to act on that suspicion.

Juniper/Josie have gotten to safety. Sylvia is still in the coconut, and will likely be spending the rest of her life there. Amber/Saundra/Katarina/Neriah/etc have become plant food.

Hu so Rika dies too despite being told she would be spared if someone came to save her?
This one is a bit weird and sounded quite gratuitous, she melts in barely 2 seconds while Safi is right next to her and ready to save her.

Base +7, Bane13 +53, MooseChangerPat +6, 34se +7, Boy Named Sue +6, Azure13 +6, ExecutorBill +9, Borr +6

First, the "more than 2 seconds" is including all the time it spent melting her before Safi made it into the water / even saw where Rika was. Second, Safi's fighting a lake full of plants and certainly couldn't afford to use magic to speed herself up. The ice barrier thing is not easy to pull off with what magic she has available. I cut showing more of her fight from the script to focus on Rika, and Safi's already probably too fast timing* is because we didn't want to have a page of Safi just.. walking the rest of the way to the Jellmock. We could have added a panel of Safi getting held up by the many plants taking potshots at her on the most recent page but didn't want to interrupt the Rika finish. I think if we had 1-2 pages showing all the crap Safi had to deal with her delay would make more sense but it'd also make people angrier when she failed. I suppose the lack of showing much of the fighting made Safi feel more unstoppable than she is - well, she's mostly inedible thanks to the poison but that doesn't make her immune to all the various weapons.

*Like, the most forced thing is Safi moving as quickly as she already is. Having Safi reach the Jellmock shortly after Rika's last remains are pumped down the stalk (next page spoiler, I suppose) skips the walk page, Eldrik timed her distance to work with that. Heck, we JUST cut her describing something that happened during her plant fight from a future page because it wasn't really something that'd be useful to know.

By the time she was in range to try anything Rika was already melted.

The Q&As show some magic use that wasn't near the sealing wall, a plot point that I'd have changed if we could go back to it / what Safi does in some of the Q&As is not applicable here. Safi does not have enough range currently, and even if she did she has to focus on the ice barrier / manipulating water near her. Her poison being a more-or-less passive ability is really helping her out.

Edit 3: Eh, just showing the sword again as a reminder Rika's jellmock was armed with a magic weapon - one shown to have ranged attacks earlier on in the comic - and Safi overcame that off panel as well.
