From the Patreon: "Pain babies for the save! I think it's kind of funny that two flying infants yoinked Sette from Quigley's noodle arm. Everyone make fun of him."
Blue Lizard is a cool dude. We should replace Quigs with him.
How will Quigley eventually die? Will he:
a) redeem himself by sacrificing himself to save Matty from something?
or
b) Die in some cowardly and treacherous way, leaving Matty loathing his father's memory?

>a) redeem himself by sacrificing himself to save Matty from something?
I don't think he has to die. In fact he's dug so far below rock bottom that he probably can't just die to redeem himself. He's going to have to do something good and live long enough to explain the rest of his wankery and apologise for it.
Also this image will trigger the angry homosexual anon, wherever he is. But we should all know it's true. Quigley is a karmic butt-monkey.

Quigs would kill himself if Matty died. Matty is the only reason he didn't kill himself shortly after his wife died, and even that was touch and go for a little while.

There is literally no chance in hell he doesn’t tell Matty he loves him before the end of this. It’s all leading up to it. I also really, really want him to truly see Duane as a real human bean. This little part of the story is so interesting to me, imagine treating someone like they’re not real only to have irrefutable proof that they are?

I think deep down Quigley has known Duane is a real person for a while now. He only says he isn't out loud; because he's a wanker, but also because he's trying to convince himself "nah, he can't really be real".

He will die of Old Age(Which thanks to events in this comic, is going to be qiute a bit longer than 30), living long enough to be the cantakerous old man in body as he is in spirit.
How happy he'll be is up in the air. I think he'll have it good enough to be a bit of a little b***h.

Not really, when they hit thirty it's apparently a miserable state because they gain every old man disease that goes with it. Like the kert is treating their body as if it was 89 at 28.
I think I've missed something in the last few pages. Why have the two-toes been helping Toma fight against Bell? Toma's just another human - and not only that, a human wearing the uniform of the country that's been oppressing them. Sirely they wouldn't hesitate to drag him down too? Is is just luck that Toma hasn't been Ewok'd yet or was there something that went on that gets Toma status as an ally?
The lizards overheard that Bell was the main instigator of the lizard gulags and Toma is against Bell.
said. Blue heard Bell's monologue to Toma, and knows Bell is his primary enemy.
But also, he's been going through some changes since the battle started. He's shown he's not down to the same degree as Cutter was with murdering all spiderpaws, and he's also seen that not all spiderpaws are the same since Duane surprised him by not renting him in twain. Then there was the whole betrayal by worst lizard.
So yeah, I don't think Blue is ready to be best friends with Toma. Toma did kill the boys he was roving around with in his silver-beast AT-ST thing. But he can see that they've got a common enemy in Bell now. He's evolved from useful idiot to battlefield ally and possibly changed his general opinions of humans.
Ashley also said on tumblr at some point that Flann isn't a insane zealot. He's just desperate and backed into a corner because of the whole enslavement and genocide thing
>Flann isn't a insane zealot
Yeah I know. It's why I posted panels that show it in action. He let the wright woman go even as he was saying spiderpaws didn't have mercy. And now in short order he's seen that some spiderpaws really do.
Flann's got one of those third generation displaced population problems. He's treated like shit by Cresce, but Cresce is also all he knows and his goals make that obvious. He wants Lizard Palestine or even full citizenship. This has all gotten really out of hand for him, who's end goal was some sort of end to the fighting with peaceful terms and a future. Increasingly this is looking like the goddamn fricking apocalypse.
The Two-Toes have it rough, and encompass a lot of the historical problems of displaced populations. The most prominent of which is that there's really no going back. The past can't be recreated in the present. So they're all trying to find ways to cope, either treading water under a benevolent master like the Shrine community. And we all saw how that worked out. Prakhuta had delusions of using his fricked up soul for their benefit, but his community was simply too disgusted by him and now he just wants to burn it all down. There's really no happy endings for them at this point in their history, but Flann's goals are probably the most historically realistic. Though people haven't had to try and deal with actually non-human people before.
There is ONE possible way out of this where the two-toes don't get fricked.
Toma and Flann kill Bell and decapitate the coup. Afterwards, Tome goes to the queen and says that Flann was the one who struck down Bell (even if Toma actually was the one who got the kill) and argues that the lizards exemplary service coming to the aid of Cresce DESPITE being hunted and genocided at the time marks them as true citizens of the nation.
Translation: You fricked up, a lot of lizards got killed, and you;d be fricking dead right now if they had not come to our aid. They deserve to be rewarded for this. Make them citizens and give them a home where they are not slaves. Maybe let them have one of the towns that the silver murdered, no ones living there anymore anyway.
A big historic moment like this is where a cultural narrative can be forged. In the stroke of a pen, the two toes can go from lizard slave scum to the saviors of Cresce. And, in doing so, the Queen consolidates an army that will be extremely loyal to her for giving them this chance and being their shield against further oppression, an army she will be happy to have while she roots out the remaining Bell followers from her ranks.
This is probably a bit too 'happy ending' for Unsounded, but it sure would be nice.
Yeah, because she did before at some point in her rule... oh, wait.

Correct, but "the lizards saved the Queen from the murderous, evil, plotting General Bell. The same man who not only murdered the Queen's sister but unleashed this damnable silver weapon on your fellow Crescians in his mad bid for power!" is a hell of a narrative to shift that culture. It aligns supporting the lizards being rewarded with patriotism, and speaking out too strongly against it opens you up to being accused to being a Bell supporter.
Yeah. Its in character for Toma to argue on behalf of the lizards in the first place, its in character for the Queen to defuse this bloody situation, and its politically expedient on top of that given the whole coup thing.
All Flann has to do is accept graciously and not frick it up.
But see, even with Bell taken out Sonorie still has plenty of discontent behind her. If she gave two-toes citizenship she would face even more of an outcry since most of Cresce probably doesn't want to be seen as equal with soulless lizards and were perfectly content exploiting them beforehand.
This is why this comic is best read chapter by chapter rather than page by page.
Toma spared this lizard (Flann) earlier on in the chapter as
Mostly what [...] said. Blue heard Bell's monologue to Toma, and knows Bell is his primary enemy.

shows. Toma then basically spared the lizards again by ordering soldiers to let them flee after Prakutha told them all to eat shit. This gives Flann a lot of cause to respect Toma, and let's not forget Bell here is one of the biggest advocates for putting them all in camps.
But I missed this too reading it page by page. Heck, reading page by page I forgot the "We Are Dying" Prakutha wrote on the walls was a reference to the chapter introduction.
He just overheard from Toma that Bell was actually the one responsible for all the shit happening to the Inak. https://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch17/ch17_129.html
He has no reason to doubt him given Bell's megalomaniac response and Toma wasn't even aware of them or speaking for their benefit. It isn't that he doesn't want to kill all humans right now, just that he now probably REALLY wants to kill Bell above all other considerations. It isn't really an alliance, just a tactical maneuver from some desperate lizards with nothing left to lose to achieve a measure of revenge.
Flan also doesn't really want to kill all humans. Well, maybe he would consider it if he was omnipotent, but his plan in this whole thing was to get in a position of power to negotiate rights for the Inak with the Queen of Cresce.
He got blown up when sky snake went Kaboom (you can see his leg flying away in the panel it happens), so probably not a whole lot. Not that it has any chance of really killing him, but he's probably not really in any shape to be doing much at all between the khert fire and being in pieces. Furthermore, it was already getting dark when that was happening and he was beginning to slip into zombie mode, as seen with licking blood off his fingers. TLDR: He's in no position to save the day right now, someone else is going to have to step up.
This panel looks wonky as frick.
I dont think his head and torso are supposed to turn like that. Not to mention impossibility of throwing a spear from that position. There should have been a better transition panel inbetween.
It looks like he just turned around to shank the guy behind him and then pivoted when he noticed Toma. Considering how chaotic and fragmented the situation is at the moment I think it's fine as is.
An electric guitar is playing a solo in my head right now.
I think you mean best surviving lizard OP Ruffles will always be best in my heart. Bur I agree, I like Blue's confident expression.
>surviving lizard
Ruffles is NOT dead.
Yeah, she just went to a mine upstate.
What did those crescian dogs do to her though.
Wait, I don't remember this scene. The comic is so dense.
>surviving lizard
Lizards don't survive, anon, that's their awful fate
>I need your help
>You spiderpaw son of a b***h... I'm in
This is exactly what I was thinking. Get out of my fricking head, anon.
Even got the correct right arm for Flann.
Beautiful.
I want Flan to get tea with Duane and Sonorie. That is all.
Hold up. It looks like the pain babies are rescuing Sette from Quigs?
Only because she's needed for something else...
didn't she help them when she was in the Khert? Perhaps they're saving her now..
I don't think those balloon babies in the khert were the same thing as these pain babies with holes in their heads.
When you think about it, we all have holes in our heads.

Is it even possible for Quigs to become more pathetic?

They're probably still trying to recruit her for their little rebellion against Prakhuta.
This really does feel like the big finish for several nasty schemes.

There's a few things in his way.
