An Overview of Murk (so far)

Note: Murk isn't complete. This post will be referring to pages 1-23, because as of writing, these are the only ones released.

Read the comic here. Full review under the cut. Spoilers ahead!

The presentation is wonderful. The art is painterly and reminds me of rough children's book illustrations; makes it all the more disturbing given the contents of Murk. The first page shows a bloodied corpse, their killer, and heavily implies (if not outright shows in the following pages) the cute raptor chick we were following up until that point was murdered as well. Its soft art style then takes a more jagged tonal edge. A brilliant introduction to a thriller.

The killer is revealed to be Heysag, a smooth-talking raptor with a cute flying companion that likes eating off of his previous victims. Murk quickly established Heysag's ability to switch between polite charisma and murderous glee. It's unsettling to see him telling stories to chicks like nothing happened.

Heysag teaches them about Murk, the in-universe figure which is the comic's namesake. Murk rebelled against the Great Mother - AKA raptor god - and was cast down to earth where he lures in victims before killing them.

A small debate over whether or not Murk is real occurs, and it becomes clear what the narrative is proposing. Even if Murk - the figure from the stories - isn't real, Murk exists through Heysag, making Heysag effectively Murk. Murk parallels Heysag and his rebellion against the Matriarch.

Afterward, Heysag tells Peek - the cute flying companion I mentioned earlier - about his pack, the Motley. It's a mixed pack, featuring dwellers from the plains, northern slopes, western marshes, and blood-stained Stone Wastes.

His story is interrupted by Seirig, a bothersome raptor mainly concerned with kissing the Matriarch's rear end. Heysag's disdain for Seirig is blatant. He changes the topic into discussing how everyone takes care of the Matriarch's chicks, and in return, the pack takes care of them... so long as they're not different. Further elaboration comes later in the form of Rigar.

Peep tells Heysag about Rigar, and he goes over to her location. She's going to kill the Matriarch right there, but Heysag stops her. They watch as the Matriarch reveals she plans on checking the borders without anyone else knowing, as Meisar's (presumably the raptor corpse from the beginning) death unsettles her.

Heysag gives Rigar advice. He praises her for attempting murder during appropriate conditions but informs Rigar she should consider the fact the Matriarch is never alone. Heysag uses this opportunity to ask Rigar why she wants the Matriarch dead.

Rigar tells Heysag her backstory. Her mother is Leira, a low-ranking raptor, and her father is Jarog, a Stone Wastes member. Jarog and Leira planned on leaving, but unfortunately Jarog died, and Leira had gotten pregnant. The Matriarch eventually found the nest and killed all the hatchlings except for Rigar, who hid. She pretended to be a stranger for her survival. That's why Rigar desires to murder the Matriarch.

Heysag uses this information to his advantage. He says he'll support her in killing the Matriarch. Soon they discuss their plans, but not without Seirig butting in, informing them of his own story. Heysag says they should eliminate Seirig because he's a problem. While he is manipulating Rigar, it's a scene where we can see inside Heysag's head a tiny bit. He loathes the fake positivity surrounding him.

Rigar is hesitant. Her heart isn't committed on killing anyone else other than the Matriarch. Heysag proceeds to show her a tyrannosaur cannibalizing his own kin, proposing that their species is truly similar, however, tyrannosaurs don't bother to lie about their intentions, unlike raptors.

Heysag tells her his upbringing. He was always treated suspiciously, and got blamed for the death of his brother. Oddly enough, looking at the panels, I can't help but suspect him myself. It could be me overthinking; this is the last page of Murk, posted way back in June. I believe it's a visual metaphor, how Heysag felt betrayed by everyone. Is that all, though?

Could he be lying? Usually the backstories are portrayed in a stylized flashback. Instead, we get nothing other than witnessing Peep getting picked on. I don't doubt he received the short end of the stick, yet I can't quite believe he didn't kill his brother. The panel right after doesn't help. We'll see in the future, I suppose...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Murk. Can't wait to see what's next!

@Regrann from @anasazi_aboriginal_sun @Regrann from @negrotoyahudah - Slides 2 and 3 are the facts, then in slides 4-6 J.A. Rogers provides proofs and references. History has been completely revised in favor of the colonist, while psychologically destroying the colonized simultaneously. With the use of propaganda machines like Hollywood, Zionist Jews have been able to constantly depict so called negroes as the only slaves in the past when in fact they were the first slaves. Jews (Khazars) are a Russian/Germanic people and number 63 states that is where Slavs/Slaves originated. Why do you think Yiddish is a mixture of German? No coincidence at all. Number 64 states that the 1st slaves in the U.S. were whites shipped from Britain and the majority of them died on the voyage across the Atlantic. On one ship 1,100 out of 1,500 died and on another 350 out of 400 died... So why do the majority of our people still believe 12 million of our ancestors were stacked like sardines on wooden ships while defecating and throwing up on each other and still survived? Roots was an engineered propaganda film designed to disconnect you from your true homeland, Alex Haley plagiarized the story from a fictional book and "scholars" even tell you that less than 5% of the slaves in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade were shipped here to North America. That means no more than 600,000 Africans were brought here, which is still debatable. In 65 Rogers talks about the rebellions and revolts. We fought for our own freedom, the Civil War was a mainstream war funded by the bankers way after the fact.

A tale of two kelpies . . .

@cassandrajp and I got to talking today about various flower cards, and how it was funny that there was a flower that meant "spleen" (anger.) She asked about the kelpie from Queen of Air and Darkness. I explained:

Me: He's much angrier than Pickles. His name is Jarog the Enraged, and he stole Pickles' rightful place as heir to the kelpie throne. That's why Pickles drinks.

Cassandra Jean: I must illustrate this kelpie drama!

So here you have it: Pickles and his nemesis, Jarog. Will Claribella's love save Pickles from a kelpie war? Will Jarog fall in love with Claribella, thus precipitating a kelpie love triangle? Who can say?

[trashy-corvian]

@exilethegame had my whole attention when they introduced childhood friends turned most trusted allies turned bitter enemies.

my little headcanon of their reunion. Syfyn is the only person who actually scares Jarog. He loves her dearly but angry Syfyn is a terrifying force of nature.

Repost @orisatv ・・・ The story of the Black Hawaiians is one of the most tragic of modern times. It is a tale of adventure and gaiety in paradise that turned into a cultural nightmare. It is #Americasbestkeptsecret. We must venture into antiquity to learn of the roots of the #BlackHawaiians, whose glorious star, now vanished from the Heavens, once brightened the Pacific for two thousand years. Most anthropologists, paleontologists and archaeologists around the world generally believe that human beings evolved on the continent of #Africa, from 3 to 5 million years ago, and that they eventually spread from Africa into Europe, Asia the Pacific Islands and finally the Americas. In time, these Black settlers developed very advanced societies that sent navigators to explore and settle various islands of the Pacific Ocean. They reached such places as New Guinea, Fiji, New Hebrides, New Zealand, the Society Islands, Tahiti, Easter Island and thousands more. The first people to reach what is now #Hawaii were #Blacks from Polynesia – a name which means “many islands” – in the central Pacific. They sailed to Hawaii in giant canoes about 2,000 years ago. The #Hawaiians and their neighbors in the Pacific have long been the subject of controversy among scientists. The people in this part of the world are generally divided into three groups: #Melanesians (the word means black islands), who are unmixed Black people; #Micronesians (which means small islands), an ancient Black people who are now largely mixed with Asians; and Polynesians, a people who were also originally Black but have mixed historically with Asian Mongoloids and White Europeans. The #Blackpeople themselves are an ethnological puzzle. Many like the Tasmanians, who were exterminated by English settlers were “pure” Blacks. The Australian #Aborigines were also very dark with African features and curly hair. “The basic strain of the original Hawaiians, as seen in their color and their faces,” writes historian #JARogers in Sex and Race: Negro-Caucasian Mixing In All Ages and All Lands, “was undoubtedly Negro, with an admixture of mongolian.” #orisatv #hawaiian #emancipatormagazine #ethnology #freetheland https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuidsYnVFv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ywkv0jbjktg7
