Duane's old pal is into some weird stuff
The doubled panel at the end is weird unless it’s to emphasise how everyone keeps stares at Mikia.
>they see your dick
>>153941856Demons, of the semen variety
>>153941931It certainly sticks out and feels intentional.
It looks like they're paying particular attention to the silver.
>>153941856Those bomber plats are high as fuck.
>>153941931They look about Mikalya's age. I reckon Miki's peers see her as strange.
>>153941981
>>153942492>>153941981I think gave Miki too much of hard time last thread. Clearly Soud women are just like this.
>>153942503>>153942492Nature or nurture?
>>153941981>>153942492>>153942577>the Soud Slut Stare
Website comment:>Back to the Temple of Song. Some readers MIGHT remember this black-haired grump from the last book, and Duane’s ill-fated meeting with Counsellor Bodie. But if you don’t, that’s all right too. We’re gonna meet a lot of new and little-seen faces in this scene. Sit back, go with the flow, and watch how it all plays out.>~Ashley
While taking a peak at ch07 again, I finally noticed that these pages was Sette noticing the webcomic controls and (You) and not just peering around in the dark. Makes that bit in ch18 a lot better.
Patreon comment:>You might remember Thackery here from way back in ch07 of the first book, as the Jet who sat next to Duane at the Bodie meeting. They were casual friends at the time, though Thackery is not a huge fan of Soud and never associated with the Adeliers outside of the Temple.>It's almost seven years later and the Temple of Song is on hard times after their failures down south and increasing pressure from the strengthening Gefendur. Thackery is about out of patience for all of it.>Head's up to the old Soud lady here, Irina, a cameo character belonging to Stephanie! Irina's from an awesome fanfic she wrote, and will pop up from time to time :)
>>153942503To be fair, Leysa herself had a pretty solid head on her shoulders. Wasn't gonna marry no man unless he had a heart.
>>153942708She tries to grab it from you too when Tittybird starts to swoop in.
>>153942875In chapter 18, yeah. That segment I posted above is from chapter 7.
I declare this thread free of Miki slander. Attacks on her character will not be tolerated.
>>153944392
>>153944392We've not even made it to the part that's supposed to make people upset yet
>>153944452
>>153942696I think Thackery is the one fighting in the duel in the preview pages Ash put up, so I have basically zero hope he survives this chapter.
>>153944392Agreed.
>>153941856You can't tell me the Aldish outfits don't have style. Look at this guy's drip.
>>153944392Miki sucks assassin dick in dirty pee stained bathroom stalls.
>>153941931>>153941981They're obviously staring at Will.
>>153942230High on martyrdom.>>153944721Why are you so obsessed with her doing it in bathroom stalls anon?
>>153944718Who says that though? I've seen anons rag on Alderode all day but never about their fit.
>>153944759The catboy soldier helmets are goofy (though I love them) and the basic Ssaelit soldier's uniform looks a little cheap, though I understand it's supposed to cause they ain't doing so well.
>>153944726Because that's where a pissmop belongs.
>>153944718
>>153944833All true gentlemen should look like birds.
Soud genocide when
>>153942708She doesn't look very impressed with (Us).
What do you think Mikaila's big fuckup at the end of chapter one will end up being? My lazy guess is she ends up getting someone close to her killed, maybe Simon. Feels like since she turned out to have survived, it would be ironic if the Adler child who was kind of neglected throughout everything ended up dying instead.
>>153945561I am really high on Simon dying because he's just been mentioned so little by Ashley in other stuff. For a while I theorised he might already be dead. But I suspect she might cut a deal or work with some of the Gefendur guys out of resistance to the Ssaelit authority she knows and not realise they're out to kill and destroy everything she knows. Or she might release Murkoph somehow.
I don't think Simon is even going to be in the story. Not speak a line.Shagging tree is enough of a fuckup.
We need a death betting sheet, we have to be betting our settecoins on this kind of thing.
Did you all forget Lemuel fed Simon to Diva in a dark pact to remove all of Mikaila and Leysa's memories of Duane?
>>153945561Was it a fuck up? Ashley described it as something aweful/insane, which personally I think will be having Tree kill someone
>>153945897>Tree gets Murkoph'd as a direct consequence of a request by MikailaThat would be delicious.
>>153945897She'll probably just find out he killed her dad.
>>153945674>>153945816I think Simon has some relevance, since someone actually did ask just around last year what his and Mikaila's relationship was this point, Ashley was coy and said they were still brother and sister.Also way back then (like 2019 back), Ashley was excited for the readers to meet Simon and that he had become a gloomy child since Duane's death (and is around Matty's age now). Duane also barely remembers his son, Miki is his favorite child.
>>153946095It might just mean whatever's happened or is going to happen to Simon is a spoiler.
>>153946095I think it was Cope who said Simon would barely rate a mention.
I figure prob Matty will get decapitated and they'll need to do an emergency head transfusion onto Simon's body to keep him alive.
>>153941856Another "isolated incident" perpetrated by plats... someone needs to do something with these mayflies.
>>153946592Trying to do cross-caste transplants will cause a khert fire.
>>153944392She killed Uaid. My enmity is everlasting.
Which caste is your favourite?
>>153947693>Jets and Silvers are the hot onesMy taste is objectively correct, Word of God confirms. Kneel, you worms.
>>153947693Pissmops are the only true humans in the world.
>>153947693I like silvers and bronze, simple as. Ate pissmops. Not rayciss jus don like em.
>>153945561>>153945897Considering the emphasis on how fucked Aldish society is, my guess is she'll do or say something so out of line it results in her family getting booted from its ghers.She'll try and be the "man of the house" in absence of Lemuel and refuse to get married, speak out openly about gender roles in front of the powers that be, refuse to apologize, and drag Leysa and Simon (iirc about 10, so too young to be a real authority) down with her. Living in the slums would also be a nice segue into meeting Tree.
>>153949451"meeting tree"? She's already met him, she's presumably the one who sent the letter
>>153949629>She's already met himHas she? Outside Duane's assassination, anyway. Yes she presumably sent the note, but the Adelier Tree was expecting was Lem since they appear to have at least occasional contact. Miki only needs to know ABOUT him and presumably his relationship with her uncle to send the note. Pleasantries need not be exchanged before sending mysterious notes.
>>153947693I'll take pissmops as they are closer to regular people than the other freaks.
>>153949847theres apparently a cut line where lemuel had to tell her to stop hanging at the tannery
>>153947693>Prepare to see why Quigley was so goddamned mad all the time, and what Vienne died trying to stopHow ominous! Especially with the Plat suicide bombers in this chapter.
>>153949847I mean, even if she has never properly met him before, she's probably meeting him right now.
>>153946095>Miki is his favorite child.Makes me recall the movie Interstellar with how the father has a clear favorite (muh MURRPH!!!!). One could forget Simon exists with how much Duane cried over Miki.
I just rate all the children in this comic by how far they could be flung by a large medieval catapult.
>>153950730I mean Miki "died" in front of him
>>153950886Further = Better? Or do you prefer larger, less aerodynamic children?
>>153951109How far so further = better, but it's an interesting idea to grade it by how much damage they would do when they land too.
>>153947693reminder to always masturbate before posting.
>>153951233If that screencap makes you think that, you need to detox your pornbrain a bit.
>>153950987I don't deny that's the most traumatic thing a parent can witness, but it can't excuse forgetting about his other child.
>>153951328nigga that's 100% horny on main posting. hang around women some more.
>>153951535It's literally just an artist talking about what they like to draw. You are a pornsick freak.
>>153947693Coppers no contest, Matty's cuteness can only drag the plats so far
>>153951565
>>153944392If she has bush like leysa she is ok in my book
>>153951535this is a pretty horny comic overall where dudes have sex with snakes and worse things like women
>>153951569If only the big ones weren't so old.
I hope Duane gets to meet other Settes in the khert. Imagine an Aldish Sette to bond with,
>>153944392Nah, fuck that bitch I hope she has a mental break down.
>>153942708>>153942875>>153943020Fuck, i forgot Ashely lurks here.
The lack of Knock Me Down is bothering me. As the only person in the world who has more hit points than Duane i'd think Sette would be thinking about her. No she ain't dead, Knock is a fucking Terminator like a T-1000 or Nork Ded Dog
>>153953910Anon, did you read the end of the first part
>>153953910>>153954060I'm actually annoyed because this was such a great send-off for two characters who got a hard deal from the very first and you have to post wilfully blind shit like thathttps://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch18/ch18_162.htmlMan, fuck you.
>>153954151>Silver rezzed Knock isn't going to be a thing>They will not use Knocks body for a uber zombie>like Knock as a attack zombie wouldn't be the best thing everKnock-Me-Down Frummagem is almost invincible, if she dies permanently she should become a Death Knight, like how Duane is a Lich.
>>153954060I did. My idea is Knock as Barry the Chopper from FMA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7hym2sgGM4I think that in a universe where both of them were sane and normal people Barry and Knock would be a married couple.
>>153954925Are you yomipilled, anon? I like it more than FMA.
>>153954925Oh fuck i'm sorry for suggesting the idea, a unsounded version of Barry is a really bad idea.He turned out to be a good guy inj the end.
>>153954866I think Cope had some of the old Van Richten's guides, you should comb through for other undead monsters to suggest.
>>153955033Uh he definitely didn't he unapologetically murdered a whole bunch of people and he immediately tried to do it again as soon as he was given the opportunity. He was just manipulated by other people then killed before he could actually do it.Like as far as undead serial killers go he's definitely not as bad as Murkoph, and he's more comedic, but he was not "a good guy in the end".
>>153955020I'm Barry the Chopper pilled. She really liked drawing him and he is a badass mother fucker.He is also a pretty cool dude one you get to know him. >>153955068FMA had 2 episodes about this. Barry was mentally ill with a form of Syphilis that rotted holes in his brain. He became a serial killer because he had no choice in the matter. After Barry lost his body he remembered who he used to became a somewhat good person, he became a hero and even was willing to sacrifice himself for people who were better than him.
>>153955189Well I just read the manga dude.
>>153947693Coppers and Soud have interested me the most thus far, Coppers because of how outwardly weird their biology/lifespans are and Soud because we've seen the most of how their society within a society functions.
>>153955798I also admit a fondness for the ideas of Coppers. If I could pick my caste, I'd go for that one.
>>153950730When Duane and lemon talked at the shrine he asked lemon about Lesya and Simon. Simon was only 3 when Duane died. He wasn't old enough to "do stuff" very much with his dad, unlike Mikaila. Once again the thread has lost the plot.
>>153958136you tend to do that with bad comics that meander forever.
>>153958155You're here every thread, res-fag.
>>153958155Sir, the BCB thread is that ways.
>>153958241KEK
>>153958136>He wasn't old enough to "do stuff" very much with his dad, unlike Mikaila>kid was too young to participate in my hobbies so I never spent time with him enough to have lasting memories of him That's fucked up.
Reminder that there are anons out there who would rather read Questionable Content than this.
>>153959076There might even anons who only know about Questionable Content! How horrible.
>>153959169Terrible even.
>>153957023No shit you live 400 years and most of them seem to be nobles.
>>153947693Coppers, because they get big.>>153960249Most coppers we've seen are guards.
Real Unsoundedheads would want to be Plats so they can maximize all their suffering parameters.
>>153960347>Roger: rich noble scion, essentially governor/ducal heir to a whole part of Alderode>Mallory: background unclear but he certainly spoke like he'd been educated>Vits guards: this is probably a pretty good gig as far as security goes>Secret-keepers: again background unclear but I would be surprised if they weren't well paidWho am I missing?
>>153960347There's a drug you can take in Unsounded to get big. Apparently it also makes your dick bigger.
>>153960249You lose pyramy to be a giant strawberry.
>>153960612Yes but pymary is difficult and seems to require a lot of quick and very precise math in a strict syntax if you want to be good at it, so most of us wouldn't hack it anyway.It's an interesting quirk of the setting that Glass made one of the most programmer-coded magic systems I've ever seen by most of the wrights avoid programmer stereotypes. Which is good.
>>153960347I do wonder how much weight you can put on "learned the sword at his physical peak for 300 years" in terms of skill. Like if a copper devotes his life to fighting, how good can he get? He's bigger, he's stronger, he retains peak performance for most of his life, he can have centuries of experience.You would assume he could be better than the best earth humans, but the only characters we've seen so far who seem to have superlative physical performance are Tree and Lemuel imo.
>>153960249If you lived that long you'd have to really try not to get rich.
>>153960679Combat programming would naturally attract a different kind of nerd than scholarly programming.
>>153960723I agree. There must be some political/social/caste quirk aspects to this otherwise we'd be seeing 300 year old 12 foot copper war machines slaughtering Crescians on the battlefield. It's like how in theory I would expect to see more mid-level bronzes than silvers in terms of wealth and importance, yet bronzes remain the ugly middle child of the Aldish caste system and silvers appear more refined.
>>153961279Actually true, fun observation, and most of the combat wrights we've seen have had a sprinkle of jock.
>>153961280Well, there's probably a functional limit to what one guy can do. The setting definitely feels like while it has room for personal heroism it has passed the point where individual martial ability is more important than technology and strategy. Your biggest and most fearsome Copper is still going to be diced by constructs or massed pymary.And if you devote your long life to slaughtering Crescians on the battlefield you're probably a lot less likely to reach your 300th birthday, so to some extent Copper warriors probably self-select out.The Bronze/Silver thing is interesting and partially answered I think, but no doubt it'll be explored more. Silvers still have a degree of enhanced pymary, which makes them more valuable, and they have a caste culture of incredibly close-knit and supportive (and repressive) ties. That lets them manoeuvre better as a political bloc and protect and advance their own interests.
>>153961408There's also the fact that they're the upper class, there's little reason for them to risk their lives when there's plenty of the other castes to throw into the grinder instead. It seems rare for them to even go near the front lines, so even if some individual copper got it into their head to become a sword autist, odds are their family (or any other coppers in general) would put a stop to any martial ambitions they might have. Gotta make sure their caste is seen as above that sort of thing, after all.
>>153962349Interesting gloves that guy’s got.
>>153962349II thought they were so cool when they showed up.
>>153961280>There must be some political/social/caste quirk aspects to this otherwise we'd be seeing 300 year old 12 foot copper war machines slaughtering Crescians on the battlefieldMade obsolete by magic artillery.
>>153962914Considering how much wargear a skilled pissmop got, imagine a Copper trained for war for over a century would get. Probably not enough to overcome the nightmare of mechanized warfare and Cresce's construct armies but I'd figure quite threatening and high priority targets.
