So what you’re telling me is Plats all have ADHD? :D
Is "get through life by going with the flow, with minimal effort. just letting everything happen" a common mentality of platinum caste, or is it just Mathis Quigley being Mathis Quigley?
Plats have a hard time with long-term plans and goals. It seems almost clinical, like their brains have difficulty conceptualising the future. Matty mentioned it once, that it was “hard to think” about his relatively shorter lifespan.
Quigley seems to have spun this into disregard for others and a desire to avoid conflicts. Vienne, on the other hand, seemed bolstered by it. It made her seem braver and more selfless since she couldn’t really *feel* her own mortality. And overall, Plats seem a little more cheerful for it, a little more likeable. Helps their reputation as a “blessed” people.
Whole thing is creepy.
I HAVEN’T PLAYED THIS GAME IN FOREVER BUT THIS IS AMAZING AND I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS ABOUT THIS AND I JUST
I mean don’t get me wrong I loved the game but that ending-?????
So yeah enjoy this crappily drawn infinite wall of text I DID WHAT I COULD WITH WHAT I HAD TO WORK WITH
(also please open in new tabs if you want to read anything goddang tumblr makes things tiny)
(p.s. I did another dumb thing as a sequel)
What do Crescian and Aldish nationalists see as the end-goal of their war? I imagine Alds want to spread the dammakhert as far south as possible and maybe abolish the monarchy and Crescians want to destroy the dammakhert and Ssaelism.
It’s varied over the centuries, but you have listed the major angles that have driven them both in the past.
At present, Cresce is ostensibly in a defensive position, claiming that Alderode struck first and is occupying one of their bordertowns. Alderode claims that it is merely retaliating for Cresce sending spies and militants (surveyors) over the border, and that it will take a piece of Cresce into itself to send a message.
The Aldish deep state has other reasons for its international aggression however, just as Cresce probably is hiding something itself. This’ll all come out in the next few chapters.
Your one ask makes me wonder, did Ruck have any history with Crescia? He did know about that one tunnel in the palace too, which I think was under a different queen. Guess his experience shows that there really will always be more queens for him, damn
Ruck had some complicated history with Crescia but wasn't in her face like this. I'll write about it one day. Ruck was not Ruck then, he was a snivelling little worm lurking at the periphery of a much more powerful and wise efheby.
But I don't want anyone thinking Ruck had any influence over Crescia; he was just there in the world when she and her forces were establishing the beginning of the country. Even the senets then were impressed by her, and to this day put respect on her name.

The final product!! Holy WHOO this was a KILLER DRAWING.
I loved drawing every part of it, but containing myself to get it done by Halloween became increasingly unlikely the more I worked on it and the closer the deadline came.
In total? This drawing took about–
19 HOURS AND 26 MINUTES HOLY–
*Many background wheezing breaths*
It’s all good! I am SUPER proud of how this turned out, tackling 15 characters in a fully shaded drawing was hard but a lot of fun! I got to draw a couple characters I don’t typically, which is awesome!
The speed paint will be up on Youtube soon!
From left to right:
Tanglewood, Cherry Parish, Vestice, Bavel, Alabaster, Toil, Black Griffin, Angela, Khrey, Draken, Wynstunn, Peperre (pink stripe lady), Prime and Plume (circus sisters), and Scat Cat!
If you want to know more about these characters, please check out the descriptions on my Patreon! Thanks for being patient with me, it means a lot that you guys want to see my art and stories! <3
Apologies to anyone who followed for non-Sissel content I just like him a lot and he’s very fun to draw
So I hear some of you guys like print books. The Unsounded Volume 3 Kickstarter is live now!
I’m hoping to fund a fantastic print of the third volume and also reprints of volumes 1 and 2! You’ll find some other goodies up for grabs there as well. Reblogs are always appreciated!
I’m nervous because that is my nature, but you guys give me strength. Thank you for supporting me and the comic :) Please disregard Sette, she is a garbage baby. Jivi, Matty, and I will keep her on the straight and narrow.

I will add more and post an updated list as I find more.
