Cat Mattress posted:Oh yes, ritual twin murder. We needed another reminder of how hosed Unsounded's world is. Ritual twin sacrifice. also we'll get to that in a bit but they only sacrifice one of the twins, the other's skull doesn't join the matched set until she passes away after a hopefully long and distinguished service to the church and/or state DrSnakeLaser posted:So are Iori and Lori twins? They certainly look similar. doubt it, I get the impression that iori was a respected member of the community at least until the flying accident and refusing to get shanked for religous reasons makes you a social pariah (and she'd be the one refusin', her sister probably wouldn't be running this place if she was supposed to be the disposable one and sposed instead) we've actually seen a twin sacrifice before in a flashback at some point but it wasn't explained, but now we're in a chapter set in a Gefendur twin-shrine Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Jan 27, 2018 |

Roland Jones posted:Oh wow, the twins overheard that. I figured Matty whispered it to Jivi. It's not mandatory because the comic really does a pretty good job of covering important relevant things in a timely fashion, but the author's put so much thought and effort into the world, and is a good enough writer as well as artist, that it's fun to browse her impromptu tomes of wisdom. Speaking of: quote:Efheby don’t really share a single social standard because they are not a social species. Rather they are fiercely territorial, each one staking out a claim on a piece of the continent and fighting off trespassers with little mercy. They hoard space, wealth, and humans from each other, and have only become increasingly neurotic and unfriendly towards their own kind as the centuries have ground on and their numbers have dwindled. even other mind-drinking snakepeople think he's a creepy horrible weirdo

Out-of-comic word of god spoilers on future revelations about a chapter-relevant character My earlier assessment of Lori vs Iori regarding whether they were twins wasn't necessarily just slammed, because Glass has been sneaky in the past, but... well "Anonymous asked: Glass! What happens to the priest/priestess twin if the sacrificial twin, say, boogies off with a handsome Black Tongue? She becomes very, very, very bitter v__v And susceptible to feelings of failure and self-hatred. Which make her vulnerable to others’ manipulation."

Oxxidation posted:ruck's shaping up to be a solid villain, he brings murkoph's creep factor without trying so hard about it Portrayal note: We don't actually have to delve into extratextual commentary to presume that his voice is pretty deep, he explicitly disheartened Evil Sharteshanian Lawyer in part for having a squeaky voice and warned noted dweeb Darkest Paul against same. personally I hear him as something in the general area of a Mass Effect Turian as voiced by an excitable James Earl Jones

Tollymain posted:isnt the brain-drinking basically his species way of making out Yep, and Ruck (as per last page! "...oh well." for some reason I find that line creepier than anything he said in Juste) in particular gets romantically attached to the people he bites. too bad his self control is quite bad, although long term exposure to efheby venom might not be healthy for the ol' brainmeats even if the snake is nice enough to not actually eat your memories after tasting them

TheFuzzyLumpkin posted:Anybody catch the fact that the Queen referred to it as "our" plan, in terms of her and Roger? Also Ruck says she and Roger woke him up. It's certainly sounding like he volunteered for a creepy, slow, but presumably not particularly painful demise, to... overthrow the Aldish caste system?

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

Autonomous Monster posted: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 they're a bunch of pirate-descended rear end in a top hat but nevertheless Gefendur

my own favorite theory about Sette's origins is that she's an entirely unremarkable* khert glitch * - unremarkable in origins terms, she's clearly stoopendous

that actually went better than expected good job, sette i don't think anybody got dead, although the Crescian soldier who got chucked by the head (and his skin tone is odd, maybe they recruit from Ulestry and other satellites or he's descended from immigrants?) is probably going to have neck problems

TheFuzzyLumpkin posted:He didn't really have a lot of say in being a boatswain because his mom is the captain. It's not like he chose to be a pirate; he was literally born to it, and he's only 14, so expecting a kid to bail at like, age 10 is a little much. We don't know what happened with his uncle, and he didn't run away from his uncle to shack up with the black tongues - he was traveling alone after leaving his uncle's and got abducted by the Red Berry Boys to be a slave. He escaped (getting the poo poo kicked out of him in the process), got Uaid, rescued Quigley and Matty, and ended up at Rahm's because Timofey showed up and explicitly invited them when they had nowhere else to go. He was only at Rahm's for maybe a day or two before the silver eel/Crescian attack on Ethelmik happened and he ended up fleeing with Duane et al. oh come on, name one crime against humanity the king of sharteshane has committed

so some of my theories about Delicieu* have been torpedoed and my new leading one, which i'm pretty sure is close to correct, is horrifying in new and exciting ways the procedure being described works, eventually and/or with bonus mutilation, and Prakhuta and/or Bastion ices Delicieu and Prakhuta is either permanently infused with pain-ghosts, driven nutso, or both it's a differently-horrible bent on a Frankenstein story, and I like it

FreeKillB posted:I think the bad guys include (but are not limited to) Cresce, Alderode, Sharteshane, General Bell's conspiracy, whoever the analogue of Bell is on the Aldish side, the Black Tongues, Delicieu/Cutter/Giant Silver Monster, and probably also Lady Ilganyag. not gonna lie, I have some real concerns that Lady I is the ultimate villain of the story some convoluted scheme to escape the khert or something Also the King of Sharteshane is not particularly villainous.

Bad Seafood posted:Given the degree of government control in Cresce, I wouldn't be surprised to learn they have a very robust merit-based job assignment system - by which I mean, it's your own fault you're stuck digging ditches; you didn't have the aptitude for anything else.
