211 – A Temporary Solution

Cat Nine page 211

I’ve been worrying that Myan’s not that useful in this Episode… but I figured that’s okay and for her to not be the center this time since the past few Eps did focus her. A downside of making up the story as I go! Upside is I wasn’t expecting at all that someone else might use her collar this early or in the current Episode so even I surprise myself. Uh sorry, I dunno if that counts as a spoiler, but I think some of you’ve that read or watched manga/anime would’ve considered that a possibility.

Haliya and her cult, yeah, realistically they should be more buffer, but I don’t really want them too beefy (like most ladies would prefer IRL), aside from not having enough practice drawing them yet.

Keith: ...what?
Hibi-Hibi: Don't fret, I might be able to do something with Tammy's curse.
Tammy: REALLY?!
Hibi-Hibi: If it works!

Hibi-Hibi: It's one reason we went all the way over here. We'll need Haliya's power
Haliya's muscles: okay!

Hibi-Hibi: and Myan's collar. Um... if you could just let Tammy borrow it, Myan?

Haliya: I'm sorry! I just miss my little brother so much!
Cruz: It's fine.

Haliya: How about a hug to say I'm sorry?
Cruz: Now what do we do with Bakunawa's serpent form?

Haliya: Oh, um... she's a shapeshifter, but she's cursed to stay like that.
Keith: Then let's try breaking her curse!
Hibi-Hibi: If I recall, we can...

[Ask the curser to remove the curse]
Haliya: I've tried. Kan-laon's not gonna budge on that.
Tammy: Isn't that a volcano?
Hibi-Hibi: The volcano is named after the supreme god in this part of the land. Actually, we're near said volcano!

[Cause or wait for the curser to die. Or force them to remove it]
Haliya: He's more powerful than me, and I don't like this method.
Cruz: Aren't you a goddess of war?
Haliya: Warrior goddess. I fight if I have to, not revel in warfare.

[Overpower the curse]
Keith: Bakunawa is still cursed until now so... she can't?
Haliya: Yes, and even if the two of us somehow work together, it's likely still too powerful.

[Use a spell, ritual, or item to break it]
Myan: Can't you make one Hibi?
Hibi-Hibi: I'm not as strong as a god, and I doubt something conveniently potent like that exists. Even if there's one, we don't have the time to search for it.

[Fulfill the conditions of the curse, if there's any]
Haliya: Ah, she has to "stop coveting the moon". The curse is her punishment for attempting to eat the moon after all.
Cruz: Oh, so she's grounded.
Keith: Good luck trying to convince a big angry snake...

[Wait out the curse's duration]
Haliya: It's for eternity...
Tammy: Woof.

Keith: Well, this is looking hopeless...
Tammy: Don't say that!

207 – Hug Free

A warrior goddess should at least be able to move this fast!

The original version was just boobs-in-the-face for the last panel, but I think we’ve seen enough of that in anime.

206 – Item Get!

by TheLazylonewolf on September 28, 2019 at 12:00 am

Page 206 of Cat Nine

Tanananahhh~ I swear this is the only way to receive magical items if you’re blonde, especially if said magic item can change your age. I also love Kingdom Hearts because it’s an Action-RPG, has Disney + Final Fantasy characters, and for inventing the dab.

An alternate idea for the third panel was him just thinking about dabbing and/or Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox, whatever it is kids are into these days (s-shut up, I’m still young at 28!). I’m reluctant to use memes or pop culture references since I’m not even sure which ones are known here in the Philippines. Still, I’d rather draw him dabbing than just a boring standing or surprised pose. I’ve also drawn Myan dabbing in the past just in case you’ve missed that.

Let’s see if I can make Cruz look actually younger rather than just a chibi version of him. Chibi is not that bad though, since chibis are cute, and cute equals young-looking. I’ll try either way!

[Cruz received a Belt of Youth!]

Cruz: Now how do I turn this on? Do I have to bring out my inner child or something?
Hibi-Hibi: Just think childish thoughts!
Cruz: Oh, I know just the thing.
Tammy: Put.it.on! Put.it.on!!

Tammy: Of course he dabs to transform...

Cruz: Gotta take advantage of my license to be a dumbass again!
Keith: Like you needed a license for that.

205 – Merewolf

While Cat Nine isn’t horror/the place for horrible transformations, Hibi would’ve attempted to control Tammy’s transformation. Diwatas are powerful, but there’s only so much she can do with a goddess’ curse.

Hibi-Hibi: Indeed I can but... transforming is dangerous if you aren't a natural shapeshifter or without magical safeguards.
Cruz: my pants need a safeguard

Hibi-Hibi: Imagine a clay figure representing a person, and magic the hands that will shape it. Underneath its touch, the body is fragile, pliable. The mind even more so.

Hibi-Hibi: You can guess what'll happen if you aren't careful! A properly enchanted agimat can protect you from most of these dangers.
"Magic": whoopsie!

Hibi-Hibi: Tammy's lucky that she merely became a werewolf. It's not the worst thing that could've happened to her!
Tammy: So lucky, yayyyy...

203 – Hibi Helps Out!

by TheLazylonewolf on September 8, 2019 at 9:20 am

Cat Nine page 203

♫ Hide yo kids from the big bad wolf, big bad wolf, big bad wolf ♪
Or maybe there’s no need, cause an angry Haliyan mom is more than enough.

EDIT: Thanks for your input guys! Poll’s closed, and I’ve applied the changes!

Also I’d appreciate it if you guys can help out with the poll below! I was thinking of adding in the “told to Keith” text again just to remind you guys that Keith cannot see or hear Haliya, so everyone near him have been repeating what she’s been saying to him. Not all of you will remember that face though, so I think it’s good to put remind people of that fact every now and then.

Our Discord mod and my patron BlueDavrial propose overlapping speech balloons, with the text/bubble colored according to the speaker (pink for Hibi for example).

I like the text reminder since it’s just a simple reminder, it’s less work, I’ve seen it used in manga a lot, and space in the comic is usually limited. Meanwhile, the overlapping speech balloons make the panel more visually interesting and breaks the immersion less, albeit making it slightly cramped. I’ve really only seen overlapping balloons used when they’re interrupting someone though. What do you guys think? I’ll maybe change the first panel depending on the result of the poll.

Poll closed and removed!

Haliya: You see, this whole mess started because of my little brother Bulan. He was soo adorable, everyone loved him! Bakunawa included.
Keith: Jealousy can literally turn you into a monster huh.

Tammy: If the Haliyans have sons, maybe they can help? They might need to remove their masks though.
Hibi-Hibi: Um, let's not.
Tammy: You're right, let's not expose the kiddies to danger.
Hibi-Hibi: Y-yeah, danger... (for us!)

Cruz: Not to brag, my Ma said I was a handsome boy, see?
Myan: All parents say that!
Haliya: But your mother's right!

Cruz: Yeah, too bad I can't go back to being a kid!
Hibi-Hibi: Well now, this is where I come in!

Thanks for subscribing to Cat Nine Facts!

  • Tammy wishes she was turned into a mermaid instead.
  • Tammy has a mersona.
  • Tammy’s kick wasn’t that hard of course, but also not that effective because of wolf legs/paw pads.
  • Myan’s hand is bigger than the Moon.
  • Bakunawa is apparently a man-eater too. Literally and/or figuratively, I don’t know, but we can all infer that she’s good at swallowing
  • If anyone mentions vore, I’m gonna lose it.

AHHHH I guess I got a lil better since then. And oh boy I still have no idea how to render water, much less the ocean haha.

Fish waifus coming soon obviously, though maybe not this Episode. I bet there are some things that’ll cause anyone to scream if they’re real, like Pokemon. Which one would be yours?

Haliya: We have our weapon now thank you, but we still have to decide the battlefield, lure her there, and then deal with her serpent form.
Cruz: No prob!
Hibi-Hibi: That's one down I suppose.

Haliya: Like our previous battle, open waters far from land and humans will suffice. Still, it won't be easy fighting in her element again even with the tawlis' and mermaids' help.
[whoosh]
Tammy: Waait... Mermaids are real?!

Haliya: Yes they're-
Tammy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Keith: Get a hold of yourself woman! Your howling could replace the fireworks!!
Tammy: AHHH!! B-but mermaids-! AHHHH!!
