      I'm not even sure it was necessary to censor, his dick isn't actually visible here.

      Can't disagree with that. Getting tortured with that soul knife is about the worst thing I can imagine, considering what we saw happened to Bastion-- and he just got a glancing slice of it across the chest!

      Karl's gonna be lobotomized.

      The kicker is that Ruck is raping him both literally AND metaphorically, since, in addition to dicing him like a fish and sodomizing him, that knife is also cutting out core aspects of his very being, his very self, his very person.

      It's genuinely horrible, and gets more horrible the longer you think about it!

      He's been alive longer than evolving life. Can stomach the idea that something mortal, that took millions of years to become what they are, and at one point worshiped his kind could think themselves better. Especially since he thinks they act just like him at least on a morality level. Plus it's not like they are smarter as a whole. They still rely on senet beast for some shit like the knife and Birdy's info.

    What a disturbing AND fascinating bit of Ruck's deepest persona coming to light at last
    It seems he's not quite so detached from the doings of humanity and rather than just amusing himself with their antics, he actually possesses some fear of them moving past that because in truth RUCK is the one that's been glutting on easy c**t and coasting in long sloth for however many ages of existence and can't abide the thought of being unable to mask it by lording over squeaking rodents

    Or that's my take at least

    • 7 months ago

      I think this is a good take, though I don't believe he's aware of his own hypocrisy. And certainly, I do think the description of Karl was accurate, even if not humanity as a whole.

      The "defect" is Duane right?

      Why would Karl have any idea where he is?

      No, humanity as a whole. In this case he might be referring to his recent argument with the queen. But I also think he's referring to the progress she spoke of, and that has occurred in Kasslyne, at large. Senet beasts have been hunted to near extinction, forced to adapt because of humanity, and even that doesn't end. Humans change the rules and traditions they live by, or force senets to live by, regularly. And Ruck hates that change, particularly where it serves to make the world more civilized.

      I wouldn’t say that. It’s more that a forum like this fosters conversation much more efficiently than tumblr posts and xitter tweet chains. Reddit, needless to say, is the polar opposite of conversation when everyone is saying the same popular thing for updoots.

      I don't agree. I just think there are some Cinemaphile readers who pay a lot more attention to the comic's narrative - and who have the patience born of consuming serialized stories, like monthly comics - that most casual readers just don't have.

      I really love the different flavours that different venues have. Cinemaphile likes its shit, Discord likes its shit, Tumblr likes its shit. No one is better; everyone is just different. But Cinemaphile really is great at picking up on themes and subtext.

        I think part of it is there's a higher concentration of loregays on here and people who enjoy trying to 'solve' the comic. Even where people like following the lore in your other fantasies, it seems like they use that information to other ends.

        Also, which senet beast would be the worst way to die? Ruck is seeming pretty awful right now, but getting turned into a dessicated husk doesn't seem so great either, and anything Ilganyag could cook up if she was feeling particularly motivated is probably terrifying. Does the answer change if they like you instead?

        • 7 months ago
          LameAshley

          Yeah, if Ruck likes you he can give you the most fantastic death imaginable. Sign me up for that shit. if he doesn't like you? Maybe you go out like Karl. Lady Ilganyag is similar but she does not murder. She doesn't enjoy it. That's what her Black Tongues are for.

          The stormbringers absolutely frick people to death regularly. Split a person right in two like a wishbone and then hide their pieces under rocks. I started writing a Minnow smutfic for Patreon but got stuck when I realised her brethren were going to turn it into snuff.

          Shaensigin of course salted people to death and dehydrated them over days like a fricking sarlac pit. Not ideal.

                Why not compromise? He can get away, but with a terrible fright, a little bruised and beaten, and with his pride gravely wounded.

      So, how the rape snakes are "designed" to work is they have consensual sex and also mindread each other, which when they do it to each other it doesn't actually do any permanent mental damage. But when they do the "mindreading" to humans it DOES hella frick them up mentally, and is also like cocaine to them.

      So, the sex and mental shit was always tied up together, so when you're already brutalizing the humans to get your mindrape fix, there's hardly anything keeping them from also just regular raping them

                Efhebhys are fairly solitary and territorial when it comes to each other, so at the very least you're unlikely to get the "wow someone got rapesnaked, let's just go find a random rapensake for revenge" lynch mob getting the wrong target because there likely isn't a wrong target in lynch mob range at that point.

                It's also noted that Ruck specifically wasn't out and about during these long years he survived. He was hibernating.

            Pretty sure the ambition and lack of empathy were word of god species wide traits, even useful in their species wide role as mediator. They might have been 'friendly' and offered some regional protection to early worshippers, but I expect it would be more protection racket and less noble protector. Senets don't really take a human approach to personality differences across species. Maybe maturity differences, but they all have specific traits as a collective.

      because the government of the place that the those kinds of humans are that was overthrown by their current government made a giant magical enchantment to make it so. Why did they do that? We don't know for sure but the fact that the two "nobility" castes produced by the system instinctually dislike each other hints there was probably a bit of divide and conquer going on

        I've noticed a lot of creatures from the first world only have three fingers (Stormies being the exception), so a lot of them think it odd, I suppose
        this is also why I think Two-toes are sus

          The thing is, the senet beasts were supposedly created individually. They are not beholden to concepts of species or evolution. So there is no reason an efheby couldn't have been created with 5 fingers, or some stormies swim around with three legs.

            IIRC, "spiderpaws" is used in part because human hands have five long and agile fingers, but also because of how they weave pymary.

    Regardless of whether Carl dies or not, Chea got her prayer fulfilled. Ruck is a caring god, it is fine

      Plot twist: she whispered to Ruck that she wanted it done messy.

      >whether
      lol it's not even 'whether' at this point. With all those cuts even if the body survives for some reason the person we know as Karl Toma does not exist anymore.

    I'm almost sure snuff is a no-no on patreon, or at least she wouldn't want to risk it

      The glorification of it sexual violence isn't allowed. I.E doing it just for the lewd. Within context of a story where it is a treated like a bad thing is fine. It's worded like this because making it entirely against the rules would ban any story where it happens. Hell today's page would break the rules.

        somehow i get the feeling petreon wouldn't super care about your rules lawyering and just shoot it down because for them it's always better to be safe than sorry

      Yeah, if Ruck likes you he can give you the most fantastic death imaginable. Sign me up for that shit. if he doesn't like you? Maybe you go out like Karl. Lady Ilganyag is similar but she does not murder. She doesn't enjoy it. That's what her Black Tongues are for.

      The stormbringers absolutely frick people to death regularly. Split a person right in two like a wishbone and then hide their pieces under rocks. I started writing a Minnow smutfic for Patreon but got stuck when I realised her brethren were going to turn it into snuff.

      Shaensigin of course salted people to death and dehydrated them over days like a fricking sarlac pit. Not ideal.

      Could just put it on the comic site instead.

      Anon, karl is literally getting fricked in-between his legs there's nothing implied about it. It's just not graphic because of the angle.

    Why did he take his pants off? I thought he was gonna castrate him or at least suck his dick.

      It's difficult to frick him in the ass if he has his pants on.

    There's a tiny chance Karl's going to live through this still.
    All those knife wounds will have cut most of him away though. Bastions wound seemed to indicate it takes things that are more important first.
    What would the husk of Karl with everything he considers important cut away look like?
    Why do I get the impression that it would be a good companion for Chea?

    Somehow the zombie slave sweeping up a severed head in the foreground of the last panel is the least morbid and gruesome thing on this page.
