Ash posted:Any, ANY chance of getting more Claggart when we reach Alderode? I have an enormous heterosexual hardon for this character. The mixture of being overweight, scruffy, generally unattractive yet highly confident and outspoken really makes me admire him. He's what I wish I was (alas I am only unattractive and scruffy)

Claggart was fun, but the danger in reusing too many characters is your world starts to seem terribly small. We should let Claggart go live his life, and I will endeavour to design more unconventionally attractive characters with double chins and receding hairlines.

Motherfucker posted:Yeah you should be a sober ascetic monk and never gently caress or do rock and rolls and die with a dry, flacid penis. Its the only way to impress this cool guy on the internet. You completely misread my intent. Let me put it another way: We are all going to die, sooner rather than later. Let's get shitfaced.

Siya is the "not normal girl" because she knows she's destined to be sacrificed so she wants to make something that will live for her. Sara can be the normal girl because she doesn't have to live with the specter of death and can enjoy her childhood. Anyways there's a way out: destroy the shrine and create such a mess that no one will be able to tell Siya ran away.

the kept-twin thing is practiced by Gefendur of all nationalities I’m pretty sure, Cresce is just the most notable on the other hand, cheery stuff like the Etalarche curse could have only been cooked up in Alderode. I’m still giving them the edge on horrible places to be

One of the most worrisome things is that this is supposed to be the "kids having fun" chapter before getting back to bigger problems and issues as was stated by the author. I guess we are queued up for something darker then "kids dealing with being destined for execution and also some zombie attacks among other things".

Some interesting and unpleasant stuff about Bastion's offsetting, torc, et al on the tumblr. Turns out being the Lady's favored quote:Wait, regardless of whether he knows about it or not, how is bastion not just dying of horrible gut problems without his flora? Also would it be possible for an Inak to assassinate Beadman, take his place, and secretly rule his corporate barony? and lots of other stuff, including the things i cut out of that post

The A-plot needs to idle for a while so the c-listers can find their way into position for an important moment... problem is people get bored watching c-listers do c-list poo poo so we have to flesh out the boring poo poo the a-team is doing while they're doing nothing.

Motherfucker posted:who the gently caress are these people?! The burned dude (Hetr) is the crooked police chief of Ethelmik who was in cahoots with the Cresce coup faction that arranged to have Ethelmik devastated by the first silver weapon. Elka and Toma were working with him until he revealed his true colors, then they tried to escape but he eventually captured them. The guy in pale clothes with the weird face is new, he just showed up and started bossing Hetr around. I think everyone else is just generic Cresce lackeys on the conspirator side.

Elka and Toma were working with him until he revealed his true colors, then they tried to escape but he eventually captured them. "on it" lady is Hetr's extremely murder-positive second in command, she probably killed the baby watchman who originally helped capture Toma for Hetr The guy in pale clothes was unnamed in his first appearance, where he was the wright tapping the falls to blow up Ethelmik when Toma and Elka made their escape, which is why he bears scars from almost-exploding himself from Sheer Power - he was channeling rather more than 100% of recommended amount of Pressure Aspect. He was briefly named as Aseptick Keon (and I believe we have in-story evidence of what the Asepticks are, they're basically Wright Police who police wrights) when he's attached to Bell in the Crescian capital scenes and was sent over here to [do things]. Keon also killed a waterwoman and captured her core in his Litriya debut/arrival. He's a big scary wright and one of Bell's very top henchmen. specifically if you happen to recall the Cresce scene where he was able to do an Extreme Vulcan Salute while his hands were healing, that's the guy Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Aug 25, 2020 |

I actually love the excessively complicated political intrigue and the way too many moving parts, it's a big portion of why this is one of my top two webcomics ever and a strong contender for not-web.

All the Red Berry Boys are dead, so we had some open slots. I figure we're going to get more cleanup as we get to the end of the book, though, one way or another.

Keon is also the guy who killed Elan Aled, the man with the bad heart back in Ethelmik. Core leeched him, which was apparently an unnecessarily brutal and painful way of killing him (and is why there was no body left when people found his clothes and armor later). He's bad news, is the point. As him tearing apart a water woman and just ripping that clipboard in half on this page might help emphasize, even if you don't remember him personally nuking a city.

This is definitely exacerbated by the webcomic curse of stretching out a chapter across months, making it far easier to forgot minor characters.

quote:Wanna hear something kooky? I realised while starting to draw a new scene today that this would be the last day of the book. The remainder of this chapter and the two chapter finale after it all take place on this one day - the first day of Tirna’s Feast, or Treenahinn.

quote:The more you talk about Keon, the more interesting I find him. Is there anything else about him that you could tell us that isn't too spoiler-y and that won't necessarily come up in the comic? quote:Hard to say. This scene made me really like him as a character and start imagining ways to use him more in the future, so we’ll be seeing him for a while. quote:Can I just say I love Bald!Hench's attitude? Jumps to be proactive at an opportunity for murder, floating her weird torture ideas past the mooks. Girl knows what she likes and is always read to get it. quote:Yep, Abby’s pretty devious. She’s one of those women who will run with sexist macho bros because she figures it’ll present opportunities where A) She can get back at people she hates, score a sense of control, and indulge her sadism and B) secure herself power and esteem as a token within the movement. She’s like Kellyanne Conway with magic powers and a license to kill. Also, on the previous page, that looks a lot like Duane carrying someone out of the shrine, though I suppose it could be another mysterious hooded figure. We'll probably see soon enough. Edit again: Or, the clothes seem somewhat different, so maybe it is someone else after all. Would have to look back through previous pages to compare and see if it's someone familiar or not. Edit: Oh, this interested me quite a bit. (All the quotes are Tumblr questions, of course.) quote:Is crappier mass-produced stuff often trickier to cast on because it's harder to tell what materials are mixed with it? quote:This is a recent problem, yes. As industrialization has kicked off on a larger scale, wrights are finding the simplest of objects can frustrate them. Pollution is a problem in certain places too. There are some ditches and ponds in Sharteshane that you just don’t want to try referring to as “Water.” Some organisations and governments counter this by requiring every manufacturer provide a Materials list for everything they make - Rector Duane Adelier had an assistant in charge of organising a small library of such paperwork - but Sharteshane’s been slow to enact such a law, and contamination is always a potential issue. Even parts of Alderode are intentionally poisoned by nefarious types to try and fend off wrights while Cresce encourages public health and cleanliness campaigns to keep its people and neighbourhoods tidy so pymary functions more reliably.
