So Cope's going to etalarche the ssaelit religion, isn't she? I can feel it in my bones, she's setting up a mad Order 66 moment with Mickie, I'm sure of it.

I feel sick.

I'm nearly certain it's also reminding us of how bloody psycho etarlarche-affected alds are and setting up whatever the Queen and the Blacktongues are about to do.

It's classic: plan is set in motion, cut to unsuspecting victims, build tension with said unsuspecting victims going about their (horrible) daily lives, maybe having conversations with plot secrets about to be revealed only to be interrupted by BOOM, execute order 66.

Nah, that's probably just the memory of when he got blinded.

It's so satisfying to see this particular plot thread resolved. It's a kind of heart warming we don't often get in this comic.

:bignews: in today's update. Is this the first time we've heard about this purpose for the Silver?

Tittybird's been whispering in his ear too, cooking him for this moment - plus I think maybe he's absorbed some of the eelshit Sette's been flinging around?

This just came up on the Ask tumblr:

quote:

Didn't Duane have possession of the amulet a few times?

quote:

Of course. Which is why you should have known this was coming, if you didn’t :) Why would he have ever given it back to her if it was anything but a big old nothingburger. Duane can be a ditz, but he’s not a moron. Especially when it comes to pymary and pymarics.

But yes, the materials master scrutinized the thing the first time he saw it. Costume jewellery from Beadman’s. Gaudy, ugly, nickel-plated steel Black Tongue-themed nonsense Sette wore as a good luck charm or some such. The “Tainish” doesn’t even translate to anything, it’s scribbles. Mildly offensive, honestly, but common in Sharteshane.

Anyway, more details next page. I almost did a double update tonight but decided the next pair go better together.

Oh! Another clue that it was fake: Bastion can’t travel with anything but his body and his torc. So how’d he bring some super special amulet to podunk New Tawhoque, Sharteshane? I actually have waited years for someone to ask about this but no one ever did :( I even put him in his old first appearance outfit this chapter so close readers would realise that had been a glamour, he was naked in his first scene because he must have offset to get there, so the amulet must have come from somewhere local.

You failed me, readers! ;)

Dammit, Cope.
