After seeing a little of this a while back and being extremely interested, I've finally sit down to really get into this comic. I'm most of the way into Chapter 6 and I just wanna say I love this comic's ability to have all the screws explode out of their fittings and have a situation just implode in on itself in every conceivable way all at once.

Patrick Spens posted:Yeah, I feel like Cresce isn't super well thought out as a concept, because running a centrally planned moneyless economy is basically impossible without the kind of supercomputers that show up in far-future sci-fi novels. It's completely impossible with a medieval bureaucracy and logistics network, but magic does change that dynamic a fair bit.

PleasingFungus posted:And off Duane goes, led about like a child by a literal slattern. I think that may be the point yes.  For all his idealism, Duane is from a fairly toxic culture and still has ingrained many of their precepts. Check dat casual misogyny he drops, despite his typical airs of being a gentleman.

idonotlikepeas posted:There's a definite irony in this scene - Stockyard may think Sette's been duped (and he's right), but he's been duped just as thoroughly, about Duane's nature and almost certainly about why he's being shipped and what happens next. Yeah if anything I'm even MORE worried now. Now that it's clear Stockyard has no idea what the gently caress is going on either, I can only imagine this turning out even more horrible than we imagined

Rannos22 posted:He's the author's wank material and dungeons & dragons character forcibly inserted into the plot. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you've not read as many bad webcomic as I've to see where this might be leading. Maybe Maybe we shouldn't worry about what silly chatroom roleplaying the author did years ago??? Maybe it has limited, if any bearing on what is going on right now Since roleplaying Sette has little resemblance to actual Sette Basically maybe everybody should settle the gently caress down, stop e-stalking like creepy creepers and holy poo poo stop wringing your hands about Murkoph! He is no more forcibly inserted into the plot than Sette, the rustling of your jimmies is like 90% self inflicted. Captain Oblivious fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Aug 7, 2014 |

DarklyDreaming posted:Yeah there's no way Elka is dead now The length of time between cliffhanger and resolution is directly proportional to odds of survival for named characters. It's a law as immutable as gravity. I am less optimistic. I fully expect to have Toma come across a staked corpse or some other French Terror-esque horror awaiting him.

"The lid blows off of this next week. Prepare thy britches, kids." Well it was nice knowing you, whatever this town is called. Next week I can only assume we are going full psychedelic mindfuck, like Chaos invading reality Warhammer style. Edit: After reviewing the latest page I guess we're already kinda mostly there on that front.

Brought To You By posted:I'm just trying to find a reason for Murkoff to even be in this story besides being the authors pet character. Because he does nothing but show up and be edgy. No exceptions. You can't think of any possible reasons why a weird zombie stuck in the Khert might be relevant in a story with taglines like "Death is the gods' crime" and lingering mysteries about the nature of Ssael and his scriptures that proclaim the gods to be dead? Like Death, afterlife, and moving on/being unable to move on are central themes here. Murkoff has something to do with that, what we don't know in any detail since right now he's busy getting #rekt but there's some obvious hooks.

PleasingFungus posted:That's a hell of a mystery that no one thought was a mystery and didn't even really need solving, but drat if it didn't just get solved. Nice work. I'm genuinely confused how someone could be unable to parse what's going on. Like...what's unclear? The big monster is basically a ghost cocoon around the people embedded with first silver and is entangled with the building using that silver. It is also trying to kill our intrepid heroes with tentacles of first silver.

Jackard posted:
I WILL I'm just sayin', it's pretty easy to derive that from the visuals in conjunction with the words. Grasping the story helps me decode the visuals a lot. Silver.  Now by contrast, Poppy O'Possum is a comic that visually confused the hell out of me recently because A) seemingly random time jumps mid story arc and B) baddies manifesting abilities that only made sense in the context of explanations given out of the comic.

reignonyourparade posted:According to the wiki its not the queen's sister like I thought it was for whatever reason, but she IS part of the ruling family which is a bit above 'just' high ranking aristocrat. Possibly. Depending on the size of a Dynasty being a member of the royal family is no guarantee of political relevance whatsoever.

Roland Jones posted:Yeah, I've been torn on whether or not he literally did something along those lines, in addition to the brain-melting, but he is explicitly invoking it, at least. It's not subtle. Bastion is a dingus but he's our dingus. gently caress all of these idiots and especially Darkest Paul.

Yeah I find Ashley calling Bastion a worthless trashfire as a kid unconvincing. He was a child at the mercy of an infinitely more powerful man. The gently caress do you really expect here? I mean yes obviously Bastion is a terrible person in the here and now but blaming Kid Bastion is weird.

Motherfucker posted:"I agree with the sentiments but I'd really prefer you didn't use the tools at your disposal to express them." Nah this isn’t about tone this is about sentiments too. She’s not saying “characteristics associated with the feminine” she’s saying “feminine”. It’s entirely possible she MEANS the former but it’s not really present in the text.
