Yearp, he's lost in the sauce
Emilbros Duane pulled a "Nah I'd win" on us
You gonna say he's fricking wrong?
I hope Duane shambles on forever.
>Dwayne finally admits he's a child lover
Shipper status?
It’s fine, Officer, she got no bits.
he probably doesn't either
made for each other
>probably
>that “yeah, you tell her” nod
I love that silly silver hair
Would a pymaric strap on work on him?
Eatin good, but it’s not exactly a romantic moment. Hopefully, after this is all over, Sette will tease Duane about this moment and twist it to make it look like he was practically begging to kiss her toes.
Please never post again
Please habitually post again.
>soul face becomes illusion face becomes zombie face
I can’t tell if he’s becoming more or less honest with himself.
He's being honest with himself about the worst parts of himself I guess
>we literally fall into Duane's shadow as he confronts his (Jungian) shadow
It's only a matter of how Duane handles it. Whether he merges or assimilates it.
Duane is being toxic, he's trauma dumping on Sette and love bombing her. He's a child lover 2000%
>To preface, merging with the shadow is typically a bad thing as it is the process of the suppressed id overwriting or controlling the ego. According to Jung, the shadow sometimes overwhelms a person's actions; for example, when the conscious mind is shocked, confused, or paralyzed by indecision. "A man who is possessed by his shadow is always standing in his own light and falling into his own traps...living below his own level."[47]:123 Hence, in terms of the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, "it must be Jekyll, the conscious personality, who integrates the shadow ... and not vice versa. Otherwise the conscious becomes the slave of the autonomous shadow."[50]
Looks like merging to me.
Hope he snaps out of it, before he does something weird to Sette. We're getting a Duane jumpscare next page 100%
llllllleeeess?
pretending he's worse than he actually is could be another defense mechanism, possibly to try putting off Sette?
He's being honest about what he would do but the only reason he would even consider that shit is because of how deep in denial he is about how Lemon and most likely his of government are the ones responsible for his current situation
Less. It's fricking lemon in his head.
I think he's fallen into despair, so he's choosing to embody his worst traits rather than his best traits. Living Duane would probably slap the shit out of him for how cynical and nihilistic he's being.
Basically pulling a Quigley.
He is definitely getting to Quig's level
Been a few years since I read the Comic, it's not advanced much anyway lmao. So what has the queen actually done in the entire comic to warrant this hatred, other than being the head of state of enemy nation.
Set up an arms factory in the basement of a shrine full of kids.
>Set up an arms factory in the basement of a shrine full of kids.
To be fair to her, a full half of those children were to be ritually sacrificed at holidays and eaten.
She absolutely engendered the open civil war part of the Foi-Hellick affair as part of her plot with Roger
She did set up a military science facility beneath a shrine full of priests and children. Which is pretty fricked up. Though nobody ever seems to concerned about the Alds' plan to rape and murder most of the girls in the shrine. That seems to get a pass or at least glossed over.
That's just warfare. You can't tell me Alderode wouldn't try to do the same thing if the opportunity arose.
>why does Duane hate the queen who incited the civil war his younger brother got majorly doompilled fighting in
you asked, homie
I'm more talking from the thread's perspective. Lot of anons have a serious hate boner for her as though she's literally the worst person in the setting even though that's far from true. She's not exactly a beacon of morality by any means, but both sides have committed atrocities and all in service of a war that has been going on for generations.
It's moreso that this part of the story's very much from the Cresce perspective so you're getting a lot of faces and names put to said atrocities. If Cope lives long enough to get into book 2 I'm sure there'll be plenty of things said about the Aldish state, too.
so far you just kind of have Lemuel, who's also fricked up but in a completely different way
That is a fair point.
She is at least partially responsible for all the horrible things that happened at the Twin Temple.
She is the leader of a culture that was celebrating its annual human sacrifice and cannibalism.
Then you got all the horrible things she is sponsoring the black tongues for.
That is A LOT of recent things to hate the queen for.
Duane's culture has a lot of buttholes too, but the queen is a total butthole.
worth pointing out that a little over half of Alderode also does the cannibalism and human sacrifice
You do remember that Gefendur is basically the de facto religion of the entire continent right? Cresce maybe Gefendur but that's not Sonorie's doing. That was long in place before she was even alive. Even Alderode is full of Gefendur. Blaming all that on Sonorie is kinda silly.
And Alds are sponsoring the black tongues too. EVERYONE sponsors the black tongues, even if most hate to admit it, because they know the Black Tongues create lots of technology.
What I'm telling you is that from an emotional perspective the vileness of the queen has been more immediately evidenced.
This comic is full of jerks, but her share of butthole activities has been much more recent.
We haven't even really had the perspective of Alderode's leadersship yet and the one scene we have had was them seriously contemplating infecting their own citizens with the weeping plague.
We also hate the simpering worm, Foi Hellick!
It's all part of the bantz
The point is kinda that she isn't actually responsible for his woes. She's obviously responsible for as much monstrous stuff as all the other world leaders in this comic but for Duane she's just an easy target for him to channel his hatred into instead of looking deeper.
She did orchestrate with giant strawberry man to start the civil war that made lemon TOO far gone, lead them to experience war first hand, and did much damage to his nation and compatriots (and lighted the current conflict)
Without it, there wouldn't be assassination attempts, bloody children in the snow or rector Duane training the church soldiers
As far as Duane goes, she doesn't warrant any particularly special hatred beyond what the average Ald feels about her. Duane has hated her particularly for years because he thinks that she orchestrated his death (due to the message that was painted over his corpse).
The truth is she had no hand in his death. It was mercenaries, some of them Aldish, who killed him and his own brother was involved in making it happen on some level. Duane just started to put this together last chapter, particularly upon learning that his daughter has actually been alive all this time. But shit is so stressful that he has basically regressed into a safer "truth", that the Queen is the architect of all his suffering, which is particularly easy for him to do since she's right in front of him sorta.
>(due to the message that was painted over his corpse)
how would he have seen that though? even from the khert, I thought that was for our benefit, because Duane never would have actually seen it since his eyes were slashed out
her pussy was too poppin'
She's a communist monarch
Are they gonna repurpose Uaid's mask pymaric into a face for Duane? That had to be made for something.
that one was for the play wasnt it
It's Uaid's one. The play masks were already made.
Shit, I forgot about Uaid getting ass blasted when Matty took off. He's done for good now right? Uaid, not matty.
Uaid is super dead, yeah.
Uaid literally ate a meltabomb and went out a fricking hero anon
>where her heart breaks
For all her bluster, I think deep down, Sette truly believed Duane's chivalrous ald hype. That Duane was truly this upstanding, super moral guy who would do the right thing when it finally came down to it. Hearing him say he both loves her, HER specifically, and that'd he's still deeply certain he'll be fine leaving children to die for his revenge is completely upending that image of him.
So Leysa, Duanes wife, knows Lemon had something to do with his murder and that's the reason she doesn't put out. Right? You think she's cold to her daughter for calling Lemon dad?
That's just her resting b***h face.
This is nothing like as unwholesome as
nah, she's had at least one kid with him and now she's realizing that Lemon still prefers Mikaela to his own child(ren)
Pretty sure Cope implied or outright said the only pussy Lemon gets is from prostitutehouses.
Sounds like it's left purposely ambiguous whose decision that is.
Would Lemon even try to sleep with her?
This is actually kind of cute. I wonder if Sette's a bit overwhelmed with emotion here. How often has she been told someone loves her, I wonder?
>I wonder if Sette's a bit overwhelmed
What's with all the Smoke Eels?
they spawn from negative emotions right?
Yeah they normally make something you really hate, come out. I'm super worried for Sette right now. She's vulnerable and scared.
I think Duanes hatred is more directed toward himself then anything. I don't think he has it in himself to hurt sette no matter how deeply he's falling into the abyss. So far she's the only one who's lashed out physically at anything. Oddly enough.
holy FRICK Duane try going THREE WHOLE SECONDS without being a pile of dogshit
Kinda nervous with the eels in the background, Duane will lose control for a second and Sette might have resurfacing starfish flashbacks. Hoping that doesn't happen ,but you never know. They want to hurt her as much as possible.
when are they going to use lemon's key?
This is just Duane being brutally honest before the turnaround right? Also love the transition from his soul to zombie form. Hoping that he bounces back and takes on a more complete human form as a symbolic indicator of choosing his tender sensibilities.
>"loved you" past tense
I hope that isn't a sign that he's gone all in with the bad decisions.
>I hope that isn't a sign that he's gone all in with the bad decisions
It's only past tense because he's talking about himself in the past when first realising he loved her. He started that whole bit with "I love you. YOU".
Duane's just asking for another bat-bitchslap with Sette saying YOUR GOD IS DEAAAAD
>I did my duty to my god, to my family, and to Alderode.
His god is dead, his family moved on without him, and Alderode betrayed him from the start. Poor stoopid plod still doesn't understand how fricked he is.
Nah, he is starting to understand how fricked he is, but he'd rather indulge in lies and conjecture to cope. Zealot's gotta push forward and find comfort in some belief even if half formed or risk doubt and losing himself.
He's 100% in the right you know. Queen needs to die no matter the cost.
Queen can't die until every one of those goat fricking mutants is dead or fixed, sorry Dwayne.

>Hm.
so which one will turn into the final boss now? Sette or Duane?
Is it wrong that I understand Duane here?
Duty is a strong force, and if one innocent has to die so 500 others don’t, if that’s what you perceive as your duty then it kinda has to be discharged?
We know that all players are liars thanks to godly oversight, but duane looking to discharge his understood obligations even after death is… Not that shocking.
If crisis passes and he works with Sonorie towards a common goal that would be optimal, like she’s an actor but 3 times nice breasts bird has been contriving this desperation since time began.
Ilgynang is the kiss of death for all if allowed out of her prison, think we all know that, she wasn’t imprisoned for no reason - but are we forced into an arc for Duane to realise it himself? Probably yes.
Nobody should be shocked by the fact that Duane is continuing to bury himself in his hatred (i.e., be Duane).
The main problem that alive Duane without all the baggage and trauma would be disgusted with this current world view
He's not just talking about Chea. He doesn't regret Sara dying either. He'll mourn her and be sad that he made Sette sad, but he doesn't regret it. Same man he's always been.
Boooo.
Duane last chapter: "I would have done the same thing."
Duane this chapter: "Nah, I'll do worse."
>THEY'RE IN LOOOOVE THEY'RE A COUPLE IN LOOOVE IT'S REALLY HAPPENING FINALLY THANK YOU GOD
gayle stfu and stop self inserting as the little girl
I thought Tina was the one into zombies
They sure are standing next to each other
So why is this called uncounded?
I've read a few chapters and I still have no idea what the title is about.
Google sounding, anon and all will be revealed
There's two planes of existence essential. The physical world and the "spiritual" world known as the khert. The khert essentially regulates the physicsl world, and when a human dies, their "soul" returns to the khert and all their memories are stored there.
In the physical world, scholars are able to map out the khert to a limited degree with a technique called sounding. But the deepest areas of the khert cannot be observed this way, those those areas are the unsounded. It is believed that those areas are where the gods of the story's two religions reside.
>literally called sounding
man
the author knew what he was doing
*she
Anyway, she's enough of a degenerate to know what sounding is sexually, but in context its like a sonar device
The lady loves Moby Dick. If you look, lots of Melville references
Read your Melville
Dude about to give her the wettest, sloppiest, kiss lmao. Copes fetish obviously.
Other way around.
Been a while since I read. Is Matty still stuck in the mega rape zone?
Yea
In his case it it a literal gay baby jail?
>muh duty
>muh family
I don't get him. This sounds like he's still majorly coping.
He's just being a self loathing shit head to the last person that actually loves his undead ass.
He definitely is. This is not him being honest. At least not fully.
I dunno, people can be contradictory. And people can permit themselves to terrible things under certain circumstances.
People can have multiple facets but this is the type of shit Lem would say. Lem, who essentially considered Duane a coward because he WOULDN'T sacrifice an innocent young child even to kill an enemy queen. As living Duane said, if even one innocent has to die for the "cause", he doesn't know if he can believe in it.
He’s kind of doing a more grounded version of the “best world” shit Sette does. Which is cool because this might be what finally drives home to her how that’s not a real solution to her own problems.
He started to like when Sette picked his pockets? Feels kinda like he has stockholm syndrome? Dude has a fetish for being abused by little girls and monster woman. Also I'm guessing this confirms he doesn't look at Sette as his daughter anymore. Same with Sette not letting Duane take Nary's place.That father daughter dynamic is dead and buried. Also Sette loves him very, very much. But hasn't directly told him. She needs to do that before he's completely lost.
>He started to like when Sette picked his pockets?
He's speaking metaphorically here.
Cope says Sette does something in this scene, that's going to make people hate it. I wonder what it is.
I think she's going to steal a valuable memory from Duane
That'd be pretty wicked. Bordering on an act of rape.
I guess ilganyag's plan, whatever it is, is going to work. Incidentally, has she ever failed to manipulate people into doing her bidding? I don't like it in stories when a plan that requires careful manipulation of multiple people works flawlessly, but I know it's generally necessary for drama.
Eh, how do you think cons work? You keep people and information separated, you play on biases and insecurities, you lie and tell half-truths, and you make people believe what you want them to do is the stuff they always wanted to do anyway.
>I guess ilganyag's plan, whatever it is, is going to work.
Tittybird's plans have failed before as Minnow revealed that Sette has had previous incarnations. There's no guarantee that her plans will succeed this time.
I assume her plan will work since this is the climax of book 1, and generally antagonists get a big win somewhere along the way to increase tension. Basically all the other major antagonists have either died or been rendered irrelevant.
yeah, of course. I just don't like things going perfectly just because it feels too clean on the villain's end, at least in most stories.
I mean, sure, cons kind of work such that the people being suckered don't notice anything, but it always feels just a little contrived when some insane confluence of circumstances was actually everything going completely as planned. Like, you're really going to tell me the plan had no unforseen events come up, and the villain never had to improvise or be even slightly caught off-guard? Though I'm complaining more about other media in general now, not unsounded; I don't even know if this'll be the case.
Terminator-Duane now?
