And so we return to our favorite Badman
Website comment:>When last we left Tree, he had received a terse missive from the Temple from one “Adelier,” bidding him to come. And here he be.>~AshleyPatreon comment:>So that message wasn't from Lemuel >_> And judging from that Diva memorial, the locals seem ready to declare him dead. Poor Adelier family can't catch a break.
So this dude is fucking Miki huh
>>153908053>our favorite badman<citation needed>
>>153908260Nah, he's fucking Simon.
Industry plant webcomic.
>>153908260Without even considering whether or not the dude would find the idea palatable, he's both personally acquainted with Lemuel and aware of the kind of violence he's capable of, so it seems extremely unlikely.
>>153908260Ashley did say she was going to be a very controversial character
>>153908260What if he's fucking Leysa
>>153908865For the /co/mblr crowd. There were a couple here who were foaming at the mouth after she blew up Uaid.
>>153908827I don't think Miki let's him have a choice, and you must realize how that kind of violent complication only makes it more likely for Ashley to have it happen
>>153908260https://unsoundedcomic.tumblr.com/post/766231853369786368/any-fears-for-the-next-book-besides-the-obligatoryamidst her description of Miki >She does not make sound romantic decisionsThere is thishttps://unsoundedcomic.tumblr.com/post/769795500303056896/your-story-is-chock-full-of-distinct-characters#notes>’ll be challenging myself when it comes to writing Mikaila because she is not a weird little aro-ace like her creator, and she does actually pursue people and want to be pursued. The very idea gives me hives.This girl is thirsty and unknowingly pursuing your father's killer would be quite the romantic misadventure.
>>153908827Yep. She is 100% boning the bad man, and poor old Will is just going to play the role of picking up the pieces after it goes wrong.
>>153910049We're gonna have a tone and MC change to Will, the biggest cuck in Alderode.
>>153908053>Lem tried to ban him from seeing MikiDe-fucking-licious>>153909608>She does not make sound romantic decisions-criminal assassin-killed her dad-wrong caste-named after a type of plantCan't wait to watch this train wreck in action explode along with the greater train wreck of all of Durlyne
>>153910347Think you're reading it wrong. The implication he's been coming in to check on Lemon's status for awhile, but Lemon was the only one who would actually let him in. With him gone, the others want nothing to do with an obvious outcast (though not LITERALLY out caste) hitman. So he got a letter from Adelier and thought Lemuel was returned and it was safe to check in, but he's not here and he's still banned from the place by the others.
>>153910600except Ashley literally says, and I quote:>So that message wasn't from Lemuel>>153908220
>>153910982Anon never says the letter is from Lemuel. Just that Tree thought it was from Lemuel. Which is why he looks at the letter and goes "huh." Now Tree knows the letter isn't from Lemuel.
>>153910982That's what anon said. Tree thought it was from lemon, even though it's from Mikaila. And Tree is absolultey not welcome there by the others in the unit.Tree and lemon have absolutely been in cahoots on different matters since Duane's murder. lemon would have been the only reason Tree was tolerated by the other soldiers. They know what he is, especially the casters.
>>153911084I absolutely can't believe I used the word "absolutely" in two consecutive sentences. I absolutely blame the alcohol.
Crazy that Miki learned to suck dick from the same man that killed her father.
>>153908053please no, i was enjoying sette gang and the lack of gay ass singing. that shit is gay.
>>153911494Fuck you, Alderode is always the most interesting part of the comic. Kill yourself.
>>153911514nah. it would have been if it wasn't in constant danger of turning into a Tom Bombadil chapter and wasn't full of miki like whores. As it is, I would rather have pirate adventure with the gang. u r a faget by the way.
>>153911546>miki like whoresDuane will fuck you the fuck up
>>153908260
>>153909608>unknowinglyMikaila is a smart girl, i think she knows
>>153912088So she gets off it? Sette would never and thus makes her the superior daughter.
>>153912635i said she knows, not that she gets off on it- y'all are disgusting and do NOT understand romantic motivations but that makes sense, it's virgin city on 4chan
>>153912088No. Mikaila is not knowingly shagging the dude who stabbed her dad in the eyeballs.
>>153913069Meant to add, lemon knows though. Just another thing to add to the list of reasons he's the worst brother in the universe. Yes, even worse than Jac
>>153913069you have just as much evidence as i do, so you're wrong
>>153913069But also to be a little more serious, i defintiely think the fact that it's such a bad idea on her part and people don't like it makes it even more likely? Her fucking Tree if she doesn't know is bad enough some fuckers on here are already calling her a whore- it's even worse if she has a relationship with him KNOWING his involvement. And Ashley is sure everyone here will hate her. I think knowingly being in a relationship with her father's murderer is much more hateable and something for Ashley to worry about more than her just not knowing.
>>153911546It seems like the next part will introduce more of the major Aldish cast of this party and a have a duel between Duane's old Jet friend at the temple and some of the Gefendur knights. Which probably means RIP Duane's old Jet friend. I think we're gonna see some of the Copper freaks breeding Plats too.
Miki will ask Tree to kill Lemon too to put the spice back into their illegal problematic age-gap relationship.
Mikaila making bad romantic choices could also just mean Will, you know?
>>153913750>the bad romantic choice of choosing a nice boy from a rich family
>>153913846This is a good Unsounded copium image. It's still a bad choice in Alderode, though! Especially given who Will's dad is.
Tree:>genuinely cares about the wellbeing of Durlyne's population, Ssaelit and Gefendur>religious but not judgemental>doesn't care about castes>respects women and doesn't pin them to their assigned Ssaelit barefoot (educated) and pregnant housefrau role>kills people for money exactly the same as the majority of men Mikaila has known in her entire life (given they were mostly temple soldiers)Convince me she's not happier with him than she would be growing up under Duane's paternal guidance. Where she wouldn't be doing pymary, would be strictly restricted to the Soud, wouldn't be allowed to be ambitious and would either be married off already or shortly be facing it. What's a little patricide in the face of all this?
Plus he's really tall.
>>153912839Shut up dyke, Mika sucks assassin dicks in dirty bathroom stalls.
Miki will shack up with a 350 year old copper that is three times her height and they make love in front of his plat breeding pens.
>>153913949
>>153914447A police procedural in Alderode would go hard as fuck desu
Knowing she gave up on Samura before the later Giichi fights or the final Shira fight or the beautiful last Rin/Anotsu chapter makes me so sad man.
>>153914479Imagine the musical numbers
>>153915348the new glee, download the album on itunes now!
>>153913846The thing is Will is from a different Cast and comes from a politically powerful family. Getting familiar with him at all is a recipe for disaster. But also what little we've gotten from Cope about post-Death Mikaila and Will doesn't seem to indicate she's into him in that way.
>>153916043yeah they read more like childhood friends if anything the betty to tree's veronica
>>153916225Who's Jughead in this scenario?
>>153916225jaer- he's WEIRD he's a WEIRDO he doesn't FIT IN and he doesnt WANT to fit in have you ever seen him without his STUPID MASK on? that's weird
>>153916043It could cause problems in story but the context of the whole "bad relationship choices" were things the reader wouldn't like about Mikaila. Like being at odds with her mom, that she doesn't mourn duane because she barely remembers him. I doubt anyone would be mad about Will and Miki hooking up.
Maybe she's going to fuck Bastion.
>>153911546>mfw me and the boys have to come up with a rhyme while we go feral on anon for hating on Alderode
>>153916514i meant to reply to you jear hes weird
>>153916043>Getting familiar with him at all is a recipe for disaster.Yes, fucking the guy who killed her dad is a much better idea.I think people need to stop overthinking the whole "things the reader wouldn't like" mention. Cope has underestimated us before. She expected the absolute legend pic related to be hated.
>>153916956I mean, I can imagine other places hated him more than here.
>>153913162It's not even just about being hateable, I think it would make it extremely difficult for the vast majority of the readership to empathize with her.
>>153914569>a comic can't really show off the awesome choreography you want to see a swordsman or martial artist usingI see she hasn't read enough truly combat/martial art focused manga.Granted, the techniques to show off those things wouldn't really work with her art style/narrative focused comic.
>>153917193I don't know, I think it would be pretty based.
>>153917290I would guess she's read a lot. What are your recs anon?
>>153917193would it? we're supposed to empathize with tree despite him ACTUALLY killing duane- he's one of our main charactersone of our other main characters fucking him doesnt seem that off kilter empathy wise
>>153908917Leysa is even more socially conservative than Duane, the odds are basically nil.
>>153908260If he isn't yet, he probably is going to be soon. And I assume mostly at her instigation. Tree taking a bite from the Golden Delight of his own initiative would be exercising fantastically bad judgment.
>>153911261Duane would be angrier she's fucking around outside her caste with a man with no ghers than he would be that she's fucking around with the guy that murdered him. A killer apparently doesn't resent a killer, at least in terms of professional conduct.
>>153913162>And Ashley is sure everyone here will hate her.Cope also thought we'd hate the King of Sharteshane.
>>153913750It could mean she's fucking or otherwise fooling around with both of them. She inherited her dad's taste for silvers but takes after her uncle in being a based retard otherwise.
>>153916043>>153916225More importantly, Will would, from what we've seen, probably not try to court Miki, if for no other reason than the literal life he owes to her uncle and her dad.
>>153916837Bastion survives the comic, and he wouldn't survive that decision.
Isn't Miki like 14?
>>153916956>Yes, fucking the guy who killed her dad is a much better idea.Mind you, Argenti Sr. was the one who arranged it in the first place. Considering he also sent his own son to the front lines in the hopes of getting him killed, god only knows what he'd do to some pissmop harlot threatening his family's reputation. Probably some Tywin Lannister shit.
The new episode of rick and morty is better then this soulless trash. Another fucking evil morty episode, jesus christ.
>>153918044It's possible to empathize with Tree because he is showing things that contextualize his murder in a way that invites empathy. The fact that he did it for money, as a professional. The fact that he did it clean. The fact that he was disgusted with what was being done to Duane after that, and said so. The fact that he felt enough misgivings to give Lemuel information he needed on the murder. The fact that he kept a collaterally injured kid alive in the aftermath. Tree killing Duane is basically just two soldiers meeting on a battlefield.
>>153918352Nah, Tywin would make Lemuel do it himself.
>>153918333yeahhttps://unsoundedcomic.tumblr.com/post/189309960930/ashley-isnt-ten-years-too-few-surely-duane#notes>eighth birthday when he died>six years since it happened
>>153918333I expect a 14 year old to be horny, I also expect an adult man not to fuck a 14 year old, but the culture in this setting seems to care much less about enforcing that sort of thing, going by the sleazy brothel in Ethelmilk or Sette's apparent familiarity with child sexual exploitation and the men who prefer them.
WHY do we think Miki is fucking her dad's assassin, again?
>>153918580Cuz Cope's already said she makes stupid romantic decisions and we already know she's been seen at the Tannery because Lemuel told her to knock it off.
>>153918580Ash has mentioned Miki is going to have a problematic age gap romance, and that she thinks we're going to hate her or that getting her to be likeable will be difficult. I don't think it's going to be as bad as some ITT think where she would know what Tree did. Tree is a professional, he's not going to blab his clients' secrets without reason. He told the brother of the group attacking his turf because he was pissed at how poorly his clients fucked them over and wanted to make sure Lemuel called off the attack. He's not gonna tell a 14 year old girl who gets the hots for him he shanked her dad. He is probably going to sleep with her though. Besides, Miki is stupid but not that stupid. She's also not very good at living in other's worlds either, she won't empathize enough with Tree to forgive him for killing Duane. Anyway, I assume it starts out innocently enough with asking for help with finding Lemuel or something first.
>>153918508>I also expect an adult man not to fuck a 14 year oldIsn't that a more recent thing in terms of the history of human civilization?
>>153918618>>153918688Interesting. I don't like it.
>>153918453>>153918333might been 15 since lemon says its been seven years when he was arguing with duane which takes place after this ask. Some details are in flux until they get on the page.
Look at the point where we're worrying about Mikaila's romance all the Ssaelit will probably have been slaughtered in their ghettoes anyway, their blood will be spilling out the gutters, Leysa will have been murdered in the street and little Simon will be spitted on a pike in a genocide to make the Massacre of the Huguenots look like a Sunday picnic. So it probably won't be that shocking.
>>153919044I don't think we're really supposed to. Miki is meant to be a rebellious teenager who has grown up with no real boundaries between her two very permissive fathers. Leysa is going to be a single mother, twice widowed, trying to reign her in alongside massive ghers pressures being brought to bear, first on Leysa and then eventually Miki if she doesn't fall in line. This amidst the backdrop of rising tensions leading to a full fledged civil war.
>>153918688nah, still a whore. I hope sette kicks her in the cunt at some point.
>when Tree isn't out killing kids he's out fuckin' 'emOur HERO, ladies and gentlemen.
It’s be fun to get a betting pool or bingo going on for character deaths in this. The only characters I feel sure are NOT going to die are Sette, Mikaila and Bastion.
>>153921874I don't see Jivi dying outside a big timeskip as an old man catching up with a still young Sette
>>153919080tbhwy I feel more sympathy with Leysa atm than Miki.
>>153913750This is the “Mikaila lived” of Unsounded shipping. Everyone denies it now, but once it happens everyone will act like they always knew it would be this.
>>153908260sure seems it.
>>153918174What utter horseshit.
