Added 2025-02-24 05:07:26 +0000 UTCThree pages today! Pretty gory pages, do beware. I'm going to go ahead and skip Wednesday, so see you on Friday!
Webhost won't let me connect, I'll update the site when I'm able~

She's quite stifled and powerless in that family dynamic, having to make nice. The second Lady I was down Khette grabbed the first soul and vaporised her brother with it

2025-02-27 11:57:23 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure that when there is a set of twins, only one of them is sacrificed - the other gets to live their full life. So Jac will not be sacrificed at all, then.

2025-02-26 01:18:42 +0000 UTCI always thought the red and black split face of Tirna was an interesting choice.

2025-02-25 14:04:56 +0000 UTCThose would be difficult to skin per how tight the skin would be around the bone with little fat to separate the layers, plus it would all just be thin strips. I'm thinking the tails are more used similarly to how strips of hanging fabrics are on priests and holymen (like ties? Sort of? More related to their designs would leave the tails pinned to their hats like how Sette had sat atop the lion for her twelve allotted years?)

2025-02-25 04:00:02 +0000 UTCThe boy twins are killed as part of Yerta's harvest, no? I imagine his time is scheduled for later in the year. From the looks of the tree in the last panel, this is early fall.. maybe around the Autumn Equinox (around the time of harvests). Or, because of the flowers, this is in the spring and Sette's death is intended to usher in the new year. Another possibility is that Yerta's feast day is on one of the solstices, as the next book is set in winter(?) and that particular solstice is a celebration of ‘We're halfway through the cold starvation and haven’t died yet, LET'S EAT!’ Whereas the Autumn Equinox is more of a ‘The final harvest of the year has come, let's celebrate it and brace for the hard times’ which feels more in lime with Sette's sacrifice? It begs the question as to what the spiderpaws take Jac's sacrifice as to mean. Sette is the abolishment of their sins and acquisition of assured nourishment (both of which are edgy just in different ways) so Jac's would be more in line of regret..? A sense of purity or resignation; sorrow and honor for those who couldn’t stand the cold? (What was the original question again?)

2025-02-25 03:57:15 +0000 UTCI don’t know why it only just occurred to me the reason for the particular form of that lion-esque conglomeration of smoke eels.

2025-02-25 02:13:37 +0000 UTCImagine how many they ended up with - hundreds. Make a whole quilt.
Luuuuuuu
2025-02-24 22:26:39 +0000 UTCIf you reread their panels together now, they may come off in a very different light.
Ashley
2025-02-24 20:28:11 +0000 UTCAnd then she went back to riding Jac around the Khert like none of this had happened?

Lulululu
2025-02-24 19:16:42 +0000 UTCI can't help but note that if Sette F had stayed in Sharteshane or returned, her fate with Bodkin would most likely have been... much the same, no less unpleasant, and possibly even worse.
Luuuuuuu
2025-02-24 17:32:05 +0000 UTCMerch!
Luuuuuuu
2025-02-24 17:10:45 +0000 UTCYeah it's stronger for the observant - she doesn't even *know* why they did this to her. That's heavier.
Luuuuuuu
2025-02-24 17:10:25 +0000 UTC"Why" in the script, but I ultimately left it out. I like it better as a silent page.
Ashley
2025-02-24 16:55:01 +0000 UTCLucky talisman! Now I kind of want one too.
School of Night
2025-02-24 16:08:32 +0000 UTCIt looks she tries to speak, once, at the end, there. Calling out one last time to her brother?
Luuuuuuu
2025-02-24 13:44:02 +0000 UTCunsounded has had a lot of wild horrific shit but the third page today might be the worst (best) yet. jac's look of guilt-stricken horror. the sheer scale of khette's injuries. the indifference of the crows. khette's dying glimpse of that freaky huge bird (big birds are scary, ok? sesame street lied!). really disturbing stuff.

Capsandnumbers
2025-02-24 12:20:07 +0000 UTCIt's getting pinned to Jacaranda like Eeyore
Capsandnumbers
2025-02-24 12:18:53 +0000 UTCAnd the realistic depiction of Sette's face on the third page (as opposed to the usual cartoonish one) makes it hit even harder...
Rob N
2025-02-24 10:31:32 +0000 UTCIts a delicacy.
Spider
2025-02-24 08:17:46 +0000 UTC...why rip off the tail?
L Anon
2025-02-24 07:43:59 +0000 UTCAhh that makes sense!-- This was the beginning of the modern twin sacrifices after all. Only the Tirna, the younger has to die.
JarJar
2025-02-24 06:20:12 +0000 UTCNo, he didn't kill himself. He had to live on in loneliness and guilt, the sad child god of the forest. Jacaranda meets a different end.
Ashley
2025-02-24 06:01:42 +0000 UTCSo Khette loses her life and Jac loses his innocence. I wonder if his end is meant to come at his own hands, then?
Ladile
2025-02-24 05:39:56 +0000 UTCWe haven't heard Jac's side of the story yet though! Maybe his sister really pissed him off.
Ashley
2025-02-24 05:31:40 +0000 UTCNo way! Sette's Batman! Duane can be Robin. The little turd Robin that got beat to death with the crowbar.
Ashley
2025-02-24 05:30:32 +0000 UTCOh god. And he's wearing them. He put on the flowers for yooooou [face in hands]
CD
2025-02-24 05:27:00 +0000 UTCOk so Duane’s Batman now, so the Magnificent Self-actualizing Sette can be his Robin stand-in

2025-02-24 05:22:50 +0000 UTCWe know what you did Jak...
The Clag
2025-02-24 05:22:22 +0000 UTCCutting her tail off was just adding insult to injury. I am shocked and appalled at the petty jealousy of the unadorned arses. Also, you deserved being ghostsploded, Jac. DESERVED.
Jeremy Ball
2025-02-24 05:21:18 +0000 UTCAlso this apotheosis of Sette's is driving me nuts. Yeah. Yeah let 'em howl. Let 'em be the sharp parts of you. Fuck. Ashley, you keep making me cry with this girl.

2025-02-24 05:17:22 +0000 UTCHeeeey, I'm glad you caught that :D It's subtle, but yeah.
Ashley
2025-02-24 05:16:44 +0000 UTCMan oh man, were these Sette dealt a shit hand or what. Sadness.
GracieV
2025-02-24 05:15:36 +0000 UTCJust... intense. Feeling the tragedy of the twin beasts so deeply with this, and rather lot of understanding for that hate bomb she hurled. Yeah. This'd fester.
CD
2025-02-24 05:15:15 +0000 UTCWait!! Is this the beginning of consuming twin-flesh? It’s both too late at night and too early in the morning for me to have as much energy as I do
