Nightmare Knit is the chillest evil overlord I've ever seen.

When Cuco finally confronts him, mystical sword in hand, I fully expect NK's reaction to be something like "Oh my God, finally."

I'm starting to wonder if he actually wants to end the cycle as much as the heroes. I mean, he's been stabbed to "death" 99 time so far, and either he's unable to feel the passage of time while he's sealed and this is all happening more or less at once to him, or he is and he's spent millennia unable to do anything with only tiny gaps; just long enough to develop a longing for not being sealed in a stone somewhere.

Cool. I just wanted to know considering that I come across 5"x7" postcards a lot, perhaps even more often than 4"x6" ones, thus my confusion.

Could be very well that he's not particularly into this, quite like Cucumber is. He's been stuck with the Evil Overlord lot in life, and he figures he might as well just do his best while he's in it. Who knoooooows until we get the eventual Nightmare Knight backstory thing.

Wouldn't surprise me if he turns out to be not all that bad.

e: ALSO since we're three hundred pages in, any stuff people think should be added / changed in the OP to keep it relevant?

You made me paranoid enough to pull out a ruler and check. I can confirm that they're 4"x6".

I'm sorry that! :( I'll admit I'm being weird about this because a lot of the businesses around here seem to use larger postcards for their advertising (I guess some publisher or tech school has a huge stockpile of these larger cards), which has skewed my perception of what a postcard is typically sized as.

The Evil Overlordness skips a generation every now and then. I bet Nightmare Knight's dad is hanging out somewhere living a mild-mannered life, but constantly urging his son to take over the world.

The Nightmare Knight's dad is secretly living in the castle dungeons, dropping in on Cabbage now and then to play cards and tell embarrassing stories about their respective sons.

Don't worry, Peridot, you'll just need to wake up early to catch the Tuesday morning's rerun of the Monday evening's episode.





I'm also sure that Knit is the Nightmare Knight's actual name ("Nightmare Knight" being just a title).

The red color and the "What now?" makes me think that's someone other than Peridot screaming (possibly related to the Princess and/or the BLT gang?), but I don't know. It's a pretty funny punchline if I'm wrong.

I am pretty sure whatever it turns out to be, it will be something that really wasn't worth Nightmare Knight's time.

Even when he would have spend that time just standing around. Menacingly.

The best possible next step is obviously Nightmare Knight behaving like a proper knight, i.e. defending the lady's honor.

If that happens I'm convinced that the Nightmare Knight is actually a cool guy and the Dream Oracle has just duped 99 idiots into murdering her ex-boyfriend.

Mr. Nightmare Knit is surprisingly competent for a guy that's been beaten 99 times. He's probably super-easy to defeat once you get the dream sword or something.

On the other hand, she might mock Parfait's pendant, deriding the concept of love and bla bla bla.

He might, but that really doesn't seem his style. I'm pretty confident that he's just disgusted by Tomato's lack of class.
