Just learned about Unsounded yesterday -- wow, I've been missing out, this is amazing stuff -- and am now catching up on this thread and digesting the nearly 800 pages of comic I read yesterday.

The HD pages Ashley posts to the Patreon are pretty amazing. They're 1000x1500 compared to the website versions at 600x900 and with the insane amount of detail, especially in all the chapter 10 mayhem, they help quite a bit sorting out what's going on. I would happily buy a digital version of Unsounded just so I could re-read it all in HD at some point.

Hoping we get a bit of a breather after the current mayhem resolves -- a bit more lighthearted to balance the grimdark would not be unwelcome, though clearly this is not a story likely to be all that heavy on rainbows and sunshine...

Interesting post from the unsounded tumblr regarding Sette and Aldish castes...

quote:

Anonymous asked: Do you think Matty's voice has dropped yet? I mean, if his internals are aging really fast, you'd think that he'd sound older.

Nah. Caste ageing doesn’t kick in ‘til you hit around twenty. That’s why the Copper, Jet, and Bronze freeze at that age for a good long while. If it were otherwise, they’d have obscenely long childhoods, which would just be weird for everyone (ask Sette!).

I'd initially assumed Sette was in her early teens at the oldest, but there have been some hints in the story that she isn't aging "normally", and word of god here backs that up, making me wonder just how old she is (and even if she is significantly older than she looks, so she still behaves pretty childishly much of the time). I assume eventually we'll learn what's up with that (and her tail).

Another advantage of being a tacit caster, he can lecture you at the same time he's casting at you.

Or, disadvantage, perhaps...

Sette's flashbacks to those scenes with her Da are so disturbing when you pay attention to the X'd out panels and margins that imply that she's seriously rewriting things to make them happier and upbeat. I assume we'll eventually see him through somebody else's eyes and the extent of what a bastard he is will be pretty appalling. His letters to Stockyard seem likely to not paint a very nice picture either...

I didn't catch them initially, but somebody mentioned them (not sure if it was this thread or elsewhere) and now that I know they exist, they just leap out at me. And they paint a pretty dark picture beneath Sette's happy-go-lucky, heir to the king-of-thieves proving herself tale.

Can anyone point me to the pages where this detail happened? I think I missed it...

Chapter 4, Page 4, but it's the midpoint of a hilarious little sequence that should be enjoyed in its entirety...

"What are you?"
"Awesome!"


vvv Yes, yes indeed. Loved both that bit of distraction and Starfish getting what he deserves.

On one hand, Duane's probably stodgy enough to think signing your name on the side of a destroyed building is rude.

On the other hand, that doesn't seem like it'd be going far enough for Sette.

Well that was a helluva reveal.

I suppose the implication is either that Sette's never had *any* control over Duane, or (more likely) her influence over him is an innate ability of Sette's...
