paranoid randroid posted:specifically the point is that white chain cares for creation like a guardian while the other angels view it as a slightly distasteful job as a warden. The story of Het and the Rakshasa, beneath the pages leading up to METATRON LIVES, is particularly relevant to this.

Contra posted:Solomon David is going to kill white chain from behind in a fit of rage within the next two pages, expose his whole smug benevolent ruler thing as a facade, lose tons of face/legitimacy in front of his subjects and vassals, and in the confusion gog agog is going to start gogging up the planet. Allison and co will make their escape during the chaos, there will be at least one multi-page spread of pursuers/rayuban military/gog zombies having a melee and it will be glorious. The crew will probably run into Maya on their way off world. Also I've be re-reading KSBD after I deep dove the wiki and things are making a lot more sense now, versus my initial read.

Honestly I kinda hope the next page is just a montage of Allison, Cio, Vigilant Gaze, Incubus, etc all just looking confused and saying "... what?" edit: At least 3 or 4 confused Gogs, too.

I wonder if, in that story where the angel was given a comb to take care of, that might have been one of White Chain’s early incarnations.

Unlikely, considering that would mean that WC basically founded the entire idea of the angels as peacekeepers of Throne. It feels like someone would remember that.

It is extremely unclear whether any of the stories involving the gods occurred the way they are remembered, or how the gods even worked. Remember that many of these stories have YISUN in them, and YISUN is supposed to have committed divine suicide to create YS and UN. Add in Royalty's ability to simply ignore supposed rules of reality like 'people die when they are killed' and it's all very CHIM. We're not likely to find the answer to the world in the primordial past - what matters is the ideal and the religious story remembered by the Angels to explain their order and their duties. Also, I was completely blown away to learn that the weird pronged comb thing White Chain was carrying the entire time had a specific meaning, and one as cool as the story of Prim's Comb.

The supreme god cutting themself in half to create reality doesn't really preclude it participating in that reality after it's "dead."

We know she would eventually guard a door of Yisun’s speaking house, and the timelines of those mythic stories seem loose. The gods seem to exist in a frozen moment that encompasses all of time. Also 10 Vigilant Gaze calls her the watcher at the door in his prayer for forgiveness. Admittedly the evidence is thin but I like it because it implies the angel gender thing is not just bullshit, but foundationally bullshit.

Now I'm sort of picturing a scenario where White Chain has in fact incorporated Solomon David's DNA to make her body and tries to claim that he can't attack her without spilling his own blood. I'm not sure if that's really in-character here, but defeating him via strained analogy is funny.

This update was great, but I do hope the fight scene wraps up soon, it's starting to drag. Maybe that's just the perils of being caught up on a webcomic.

It's genuinely hard for me to imagine how a drawing of a naked woman could make anyone upset enough to make an angry post about it, let alone enough people to drive Abbadon to close the comments. Just completely baffling. What must it be like to live like that, where a rogue titty can just ruin your mood out of nowhere?

People were very upset about the intentionally unpleasant monk lady’s weird piercings so it’s possible they’re either anti-horny or too horny, it’s impossible to be sure without reading the comments. Which, if I can do, I will not, because I love life.
