First Impressions [Love and Hex]

True Polymorph can give an owlbear human shape and intelligence, but it can't give him understanding of humanoid cultural norms.
What's going on here?
- Kayra lives with her "husband", a retired adventurer named Singing Cricket, and her coven, who are her mothers and teachers.
- They are arriving at the wedding of the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby.
- Kayra and the rest of the coven are in disguise as a human family. Hags are not usually welcome in society, but these ones are special to the changeling.
- Charlie is an owlbear that Singing Cricket adopted by accident while trying to protect a baby house. Taking a Discworld-inspired cue, the hags decided to polymorph him into a human and bring him along.
- Sassy, a half-orc barbarian/bard, first appeared in the comic on a date with a goblin. It didn't work out. Now she's a bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding.
Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/horror story. It's on Webtoon and other platforms. Also loveandhex@lemmy.ca. (And Patreon if you like early releases and extra stuff. Some patrons have sent me their D&D characters or OCs, which are starting to show up as wedding guests!)
There's also a book! You'll find it on Amazon (just use your country's site), or Comcraft.
