As much as he hates Crescans, he cares about children enough that this situation gets even worse. Because half the children in this room are going to be poisoned and then eaten at some point, and the fact that it's a painless death compared to how it used to be done and they could technically back out at the price of being a pariah forever and ruining their family isn't going to make that better for him. This entire scenario is basically custom-made to trigger him, from the fact that it's a temple where sacrifices are raised to the fact that all the kids here are girls to the dead waterbaby to the perpetually dark sky.

Also, the implication from that scene with Minnow is that Sette might be some sort of senet creature, right?

senet beasts are at least AWARE of her through their wacky senses, which is loving bizarre

(this may involve some blogknowledge)

senet beasts, like minnow, are outside of the khert, and not super-great at interpreting the khert - basically they consider the khert to be a Human Thingybob

which isn't to say they CAN'T interpret the khert, Ash has mentioned that Ruckmearkha can both see and do horrible things to Timofey

but i bet my second-favorite pair of underpants that Ruck would be super jazzed to glimpse Sette Frummagem

also Sette can sniff khert-stuff better than any known entity - which is also interesting in the "senet beasts have trouble interacting with the khert" sense

There are a bunch of theories on the subject of what Sette is. I think my favourite at the minute is that she's Tirna. Her eating from Tirna's offerings and taking her place in the play is suggestive if you're already suspicious (she's also wearing Tirna's colours, I've just noticed).

she's always been a huge Tirna fangirl

maybe as she suggests it's just a Sharteshane thing

Although she definitely also has regrets for such, given the doll and candle next to the dead waterbaby. Of course, having regrets doesn't make her less guilty, especially since there is almost certainly active experimentation going on on waterwomen in the temple right now, but it seems likely to me she's being pressured into this by Queen Sonorie and recognizes that the waterwomen are people, even if that's not enough to get her to stop what's happening.

It's pretty striking how dark Sonorie's plots are, even though she was terrified of being crowned because it'd involve ordering people to their deaths. I know that was a dream, but I'm also taking it as a true insight to how Sonorie felt when she was younger, and the deep guilt she feels now. But guilt buys nothing, and desperation breeds monstrosity, and seriously, everything we've seen her involved with is extremely hosed up, with the carving up of Roger's mind being the least horrific example because he's (almost certainly) a willing participant. It makes me wonder what she thinks the Alds have planned, if she's willing to go this far to strike against them.

Yeah the high-ranked Aldish we've seen were chatting openly about how great it'd be to exterminate other Alds of the wrong religion, and that's still several tiers above Crescians in their books. They're just maybe a bit behind on the mad science superweapon arms race to do it with.

The Alds aren't that much 'worse' save for being viciously racist but I think the problem is she can't beat them flat, like, the alds aren't some weak nation they're provably hardcore and I'm pretty sure militaristicly outmatch the divided Geffendur peoples (especially since the sharts aren't going to stick their neck out for anyone.)

not till they're older, when they're 22. Somebody else is up for Morstorben: http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch13/ch13_07.html

I think it's probably difficult to figure out which government is worse. I mean, on one hand, the Alds torture their own citizens, are 100% down for biological warfare on their own people, and in general are fairly out of their minds, but Crescians also summarily execute any non-Gefendur and almost certainly their queen is planning a genocide of some sort. Plus Bell is cheerfully wiping entire towns off the map and Ruck's been chewing on him, which the queen might very well also be orchestrating. Neither side is a particularly good option.

I think Jivi is a pretty great foil to the Sette/Duane combo, since he doesn't cut Sette any slack for her behavior and Duane's got some fairly hosed-up opinions re: countries and gender. I hope the plot keeps them together for a while.

Unsounded is just the weirdest fantasy world. Even if you don't go looking for all the extra information, it's very clearly a very unique setting.

And then the comic itself is all goofy and fun, but then there's a severe tonal dissonance between these happy fun characters and the societies they live in, which are all pretty grimdark under the surface.

It really is and Ashley spending years roleplaying in this world she created for herself and her friends really helps to cement the believability of the characters and setting. It leaves me with a strong sense of the author knowing what they are doing and where they are going.

Also as for extra information, the Unsounded tumblr is the only tumblr I read and the only comic I go out of my way to check out extras. I mean it's not mandatory but with how fleshed out everything seems to be in Ashley's mind, there's so many good questions that get answered and details about characters background or setting info that I can't imagine not reading it after having done so for so long.

Matty seems happy and fun, or at least incredibly positive considering all he has been through. Or at least between his bouts of constantly being disappointed by his dad and everyone around him, but I guess that's what happens when you are optimistic to a fault. He's basically the opposite of his dad.

bit late on this but from the tumblr:

quote:

Anonymous asked: Has Nary ever seen Sette get serious like how she was in the fourth panel of the latest page?

Yes, there was one time where something very intense happened back home. Nary told her how to deal with it, she followed his advice, and afterwards he gave her one of those wordless little mafioso nods of stern approval before moving on to new business. It was the best day of Sette’s life and also among the worst.

I’ll refrain from details though since I do wanna write that story one day.
