See that red light reflecting off of Solomon’s face? I don’t think it’s Jadis he’s worried about, but a certain invincible BIG BOY the rest of the Seven made a pact to deal with together.
Jadis’ symbol hologram things glow red when she prophesies. Jagganoth may not be here yet, Solomon may just be reacting to a message from Jadis that he’s coming, or even that the Worm is about to eat the city.
I guess you get to encase yourself in an unbreakable block of crystal if you also happen to have the power of instant teleportation. Seems pretty min/maxed to me.
Allison is surely powerful enough to be considered a demiurge, but there’s no way Jagganoth would accept that until he’s fought her himself. He doesn’t strike me as a great thinker, so I doubt he even remembers she exists, but if he does he would probably want to go fight her even more to see how she measures up against the others.
She’s the only demiurge that knows what’s going to happen before it happens, so of course she’s the first to arrive… to honor a certain oath she had made long ago, conditional to a certain type of event.
Pretty sure he chiefly fears for himself. Jagganoth is the strongest Demiurge, and nothing in Solomon’s arsenal is a match for the indestructible, unstoppable red god. Solomon has built his own self-image on his permanence – he’s the Diamond, afterall. Now, not only has White Chain proven to him he can be bled by someone much weaker than him, but the one force in the multiverse which can crush him wholesale has arrived – Jagganoth. The diamond cannot survive this, and Solomon knows it.
But his first words in the face of a threat are for the city to be evacuated. I hold no love for Solomon David, but that is a sign of one who thinks of the stewardship of their people, before their own self.
Either that, or he doesn’t want the people to see that Jagganoth is his equal, if not greater in terms of strength. How could his myth survive if everyone sees Jagganoth arrive out of nowhere and start throwing Solomon around like a punching bag? White Chain merely drawing but a sliver of blood was enough to make the crowds cheer and bring Solomon low. Jagganoth arriving shortly after, to challenge Solomon as an equal and probably do a lot more than merely bruising his cheek? That wouldn’t just strain the myth of himself he’s so carefully cultivated, that would shatter it wholesale.
See, that’s not much of an issue, because jagganoth goal is to quite litterally wipe out everything. Solomon dosnt care about his unbreakable image, because even if he can stall of jaggonoth, the red gods army’s will be buisy wiping out every living thing they encounter.
Your mind is clouded by hate for the most reasonable and level-headed of the Demiurges, due to your own hubris. So you have forgotten the information that these fellows have refreshed you with.
I don’t understand the hate for Solomon. I get that he’s a villain. But we barely even have enough data from the comic to reinforce the charge that White Chain levels onto him, and reading through the comic it’s hard not to see an honorable person evolved from a difficult past. Where is his sin? Are his people prisoners being held in his kingdom against their will? I doubt it. In addition to clearly having concern for the well-being of his people, he was probably on his way to granting White Chain’s request. On this very page he is immediately open to what was asked of him, and was seemingly ready to speak about the difficulty of him passing his authority onward without it shifting toward something worse—clearly.
Honestly, it seems to me that you’re not just seeing hubris in another, they harbor a bias of something more.
He’s certainly a complicated character. But I wouldn’t say he’s devoid of “sin”, so to speak. At the end of the day, what White Chain said was right – that despite his efforts, he knows that his people’s happiness is temporary and inexorably linked to the civilisation he’s built, and that it is all founded on his continued existence. But his existence is temporary – as we’ve seen, gods and demiurges are powerful, but can certainly die. He knows this, but continues to push his people to worship him and his decided form of the perfect way of life. Intention or not, it takes some of his people’s will away. After all, they are *his* people.
White Chain insults him, yes, but perhaps she has seen what kind of a demiurge Solomon David really is. She has existed for a long time, after all. She’s seen some shit, to put it lightly. Given that Solomon doesn’t contest much (maybe because he didn’t have time, but he didn’t seem shocked at what she said, just concerned and deeply serious) it’s possible he agrees with her about her claims about his actions.
My apologies, I only meant to draw attention to the sins he has played out in view of the reader. No doubt we are all works in progress.
Perhaps an obvious mismanagement on his part has been creating tournaments to find his successor (and of course, to uphold his image) instead of creating an institution of education for his subjects to become more self-reliant and self-governing. Although, since many have already drawn conclusions on elements of his kingdom that we haven’t seen evidence for, how do we know there isn’t already? Even if there is, it may be useless in a few key places. Save massive military might, a democratic process cannot stand up to demiurgic power. If he doesn’t protect them, well, this is Throne. How many demons are there again?
Anyways, the point is it seems there are those who would portray this as some sort of patriarchal tyranny. Certainly a projection of circus mirrors they hold up in waking life.
Except bow to the will of the Mob in order to let WC win. Even though she did not actually make him spill a single drop of blood.
For all the “The powerful must be so lonely” let’s not forget they earned their power, every step of the way, and then had a universal war. Meanwhile Starbucks Barista Allison got god jizzed, was aided by an angel and one of the once strongest devils, and never had to kill a friend who betrayed her nor lost anyone close to her. What if WC killed Cio? What if Salami Dave killed WC?
Let’s not forget where this is. Without SD, the people simply don’t have the power to survive. They didn’t on his original planet, they don’t here. Unless WC is willing to stay on as his sucessor so he can be free. He has an obligation to ensure that what he leaves behind isn’t abandoned.
White Chain is insane if she thinks cannibal devils are amenable to participatory democracy. I literally groaned on the last panel; this one saved it, because the utter *folly* of such a thing will now be apparent.
There is a Pratchett quote from, I believe, Carpe Jugulum that I am unable to find so I’ll summarise and paraphrase. There is a new breed of vampire who essentially attempt to sort of “bureaucratize” their feeding habits who are quite surprised when people welcome the old, more predatory, count returning. The people explain it roughly as “yes, he is a monster, but under the facade so are you, you’re just trying to be nice about it and expect people to be grateful”.
There is a certain… honesty about the way Mottom drains her worlds or Mammon hoards his wealth or even how Jagganoth seeks destruction. They will destroy you if you challenge them but they will not be all “look what you made me do” about it.
I know the argument is that Solomon was “looking for a worthy successor” through the tournaments but I don’t believe it. If he wanted one he’d have tried training people and see if someone can become his better or equal. Instead he performed the slaughter that we’ve seen leaving only those with “just enoough” ambition to be useful but not to challenge him. He probably thinks of himself as “the only good one” among the demiurges, he provides order and stability but no mighty tree grows in a pruned garden.
To be fair I think the biggest lie he tells to himself. On a certain level he believes what he says and he’d find very good reasons to do or not do things within the confines of the “for the good of his subjects” lie. The truth is it is only when push comes to shove that we’ll find out if he is capable of following through with the noble intentions he states.
I was wandering the Kill Six Billion Demons tumblr and came across a story that might be revealing:
Anonymous asked: “In my travels, I came across an obscure, unconquered world. I was surprised to find a book which contained an account of the life of God-King Solomon David, who even in this backwater, which knew nothing of the Concordance or the Wheel, was regarded as a paragon of wisdom! To demonstrate this, it told the tale of two prostitutes who came before him with a babe, each claiming it as their own. The God-King rendered a judgement that amazed all who witnessed. How close is this tale to the truth?”
Answer: “Very true. I believe the well-known story was that Solomon offered to split the babe in two for fairness’ sake, and when the real mother began to cry, Solomon knew who was telling the truth.
In fact, I was recounted the true story of this incident by a traveling peddler. Solomon was very kind to both women and listened to their concerns, leaving them with the promise of the assignment of a high imperial clerk to their case. The clerk quickly determined in no time at all through the well-organized imperial intelligence service that one of the prostitutes had a liason with a minor but decorated officer of the third legion some time ago. Questioning the officer uncovered very quickly the true identity of the baby’s mother, who were notified and brought to one of the world courts at haste. It had scarcely been a day.
Since lying in the court is a serious offense, the false mother was sentenced and executed later that day. Since copulating with an acting officer is a serious offense, the true mother was sentenced to six months of hard labor, her child was taken as a ward of the state, and her lover, the officer in question, was discharged from the imperial military, had his citizenship revoked, and died of complications from syphilis a year later, or so I hear.
The true mother is doing better, I’ve heard she is a clerk now, and her education was paid for by the crown.
His reasons for evacuation are likely twofold: to save his people from the Red God’s might, and to shield them from his own utmost power. Ki Rata can level entire cities, and Sol likely expects to do so
Jagganoth now knows he can be wounded…if you bust out something that has never happened before in the universe and that was thought impossible right in front of him as a distraction. I think that Jagganoth himself has fought Solomon David enough that the King can keep him at a standstill.
I swear to god, if Jagganoth turns into a pretty woman too…
Go back and read the comic, GamerGater. White Chain was working towards this from the instant she appeared. Jagganoth has literally only been mentioned and shown as a doomsday weapon in the shape of a man, and has himself stated, and had others state, that HIS intentions are to break the Wheel.
Read what 7 August Chain Burning wrote. Take note of the last line. That sort of off-hand misogyny was very typical of those who immediately co-opt’ed criticism of video games journalism, to just gender and LGBQT+ bash.
Implying that White Chain turning “into a pretty woman” is somehow wrong. And that if any other character does such a thing, it will also be wrong.
Or it could simply be a joke. You know how in movies and shows someone says “your not going to BLANK too, are you?”. Not everything is Misogynistic geez.
It was a joke, actually. Something fit for the crackiest of crackfics, where Jagganoth sees White Chain busting out of her shell, and is like “Yo, that shit is tight. I can do it better though.”
Please report to the nearest pharmacy and request their largest chill pill, then take it.
Holy crap, reacting this badly to a joke about the absurdity of the potential for a giant, muscle-bound demon monster to turn into a pretty lady JUST to get Solomon David shook for a second indicates that you need to go outside more.
As an Evil Gamer™ I hate all people who aren’t White Males equally. Suggesting that Evil Gamers™ are only misogynistic is deeply offensive when we’ve made such great advancements in Racism™ as well
I mean, most of the protagonists are pretty women, so you’re half there. Also, your username reminded me…does everyone else read Incubus’ dialogue in a David Bowie voice? Because that dude hit me with powerful Jareth vibes when he first showed up.
It’s really not. You’re forgetting the universal war is restarting right now, right this moment, and Gog-Agog is one of the 8 parties participating. She does not have free reign to just take over, she’ll be too busy fighting 6 other demiurges and all the unaligned parties will be able to make use of that distraction to defend themselves.
Harken back to the council of demiurges, when Solomon David calls upon all to stand together against Jagganoth, calling on ancient oaths.
Think back on Gog’s expression.
Can we… not call her that? Her name is White Chain.
It’s so fucking weird seeing people reduce her entire complex person to a pair of tits, I really expected better out of this comment section than to immediately swing into misogyny.
I agree with the sentiment, but… after she got the robe, it’s hard to interpret having her breasts continually on display as anything other than fanservice.
Maybe having breasts, and having them be visible, isn’t purely for your pleasure, but just because the pose was actually more powerful than hiding her body with a cloth clutched at her neck.
There’s many historical contexts where visible breasts weren’t treated as for men’s viewing, but just because they had them and it was fine if they were visible.
I don’t know, I feel like this is really falling into the realm of Kate Beaton’s ‘Strong Female Characters’ parody where, yeah, the reason the male artist is drawing this woman with her boobs out all the time is *totally* for empowerment reasons.
You know, the only reason visible breasts are treated this way is due to patriarchy and its dominance in society in the first place. I don’t think women should be defined or limited by how heterosexual men perceive them. Now, the reasons for why this was done might very well be that the comic’s author is a heterosexual man who wanted to draw a little bit of fanservice, but that’s a rather uncharitable reading of Tom, who has thus far been rather good about female representation and feminism in KSBD. It’s much easier to read this as a statement of liberation, especially since it presents White Chain as mirroring Solomon’s clothing, symbolically showing them as equals, and possibly drawing an artistic connection to how liberty was portrayed in european art in the 19th century – as a woman with a bared chest and flowing robes, leading the charge of revolutions.
He definitely gets points for representation – Alison’s arc of self-discovery and empowerment is one of the best I’ve read regardless of gender, and White Chain’s trans arc has been such an amazing slow burn for years that I immediately assumed that the nudity was all about demonstrating, front and center, her becoming the being that she always was from the beginning.
But the page yesterday felt different somehow. Maybe I’m wrong (the liberty connection makes a lot of sense given what she was demanding from Solomon), but I started to think back about all the gratuitous content of previous chapters.
I’m beginning to wonder if it’s becoming less about symbolism and more about the over-the-top, shocking visuals that have become a hallmark of this comic, starting all the way back with the awkward-sex-scene-turned-deadly at the very beginning and the houses of lechery in Throne. Those scenes did a great job of portraying the decay of Throne, but they also served to attract an audience that likes seeing those things for their own sake.
Because there’s a difference between representation and exploitation, and it can be a thin line between the two. K6BD often falls on *both* sides of that line.
While a lot of Abbadon’s choices can be interpreted as representation, at the same time they serve an exploitative function. The Cio/Alison relationship can be seen as a positive representation of same-sex relationships (and god knows it’s well-written enough to deserve that), but it also is framed and drawn in a way that will attract an audience that wants to read it simply because they think lesbian sex is hot.
I think it’s naive to assume that Abbadon isn’t doing both. Sure, breasts shouldn’t be limited to how men perceive them, but keep in mind that the person drawing them *is* a man. He’s not doing this by accident – he knows that a large portion of his audience loves boobs for sexual reasons.
If he were against that interpretation, you’d think he’d have had a different defense to White Chain’s nudity than to mention that Solomon is *also* super sexy on twitter:
“people getting weirdly offended that i put a titty in my comic when solomon’s amazing rack has been in the comic for months.”
You can make a case for being newly born, and when someone comes into the world for the first time, s/he ain’t wearing clothes. What makes this comment bogus, however, is that White Chain was born with plucked eyebrows. THAT is a porn meme.
Look, you want to play cheap nudity for shock value, you get cheap comments in response. Maybe if going topless was established as a cultural norm earlier I would have felt less like it was a slowly cheapening gimmick.
But if ahe’s going to wear clothes, then wear them appropriately. If she’s an angel and nudity has no taboo for her due to that, have her go naked. But no, she has them covered in multiple panels prior and then suddenly whips them out during the dramatic moment.
OH MY GOD female tits were shown. Only male tits are OK! This artist is clearly is clearly producing porn, I’m going to masturbate to this later. Fuck off.
uh, no lol. it isn’t done in any sexual way my dude, it’s just done. guys show off their tits constantly, the only reason boobs on women are so deviant in peoples eyes are because of how demeaned and sexualized women are in general for simply existing. just drawing nips isn’t fan service man, fuck off
I was going to comment on how Gravatars are the only way to identify these comments, due to how your original sentence had no statement of opinion to make a through line with this one, but then I realized you had other comments more or less in line with what you’re saying here.
Now I’m just seeing if I can make a duplicate name, like I was pondering.
One finds it totally unforgivable to call one’s sister Angel tits, it’s just not on, the t should be capitalised. One expects better of a member of this comment section that readily refers to the God-Emperor Solomon David as Salami Dave. There may be seen some misandry in that perhaps, just as misogyny referring to WC’s needlessly but unselfconsciously bared breasts in such a fashion, but one read just mainly a disregard for niceties and convention – much the same as a certain little blue-masked devil might. If Cio in the coming moments were to be yelling at her friend ‘hoy Angel Tits, move yer arse’, it would be apposite.
Uh, Cio has been nude plenty in the comic already actually. Like just after sex with Allison. I didn’t comment tbough because it’s normal to strut around naked after appeasing Allisons ravishing thirst for devil flesh.
You should not, as Cio is a work of fiction and the objectification of women is evidently and sadly real. As is an unfair disposition against authors who write heroes who are women, or transgender, or challenge masculine authority figures, or favor dismantling hierarchical power structures.
Calling Solomon Davis “Salami Dave” isn’t offensive though?
Literally treating him like a piece of meat?
At least with the Titty Angel, her becoming female and flesh and therefore the singular Angel who actually HAS titty’s to pop out is relevant to her character development and not just “hurr durr meat man funny name”.
Or maybe both things are just gentle ribbing at artistic choices and we should remember that it’s art, not people, being made fun of.
How is Angel Tits not the same thing compared to her full name? Although Titty Angel might be more accurate, describing the fact that she’s the only angel who has ’em.
The tenure of gods and their magistrates
By good men it must be deposed
The covenant made can be voided at once
Disanoint him, take his crown
They plead for their king
And they pity their lord
Put him to death, that’s what I say
Though never so just these dancing divines
Endue him with reason and grace
Their gibberish
Words dissemble the facts
God’s will
They falsely will claim
Let him curse my name
On these blood-stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name
But remember the truth
So there they come
From everywhere
They witness revenge
Hear them calling
“You’re laden with blood
It’s spilled everywhere
And sorrow’s everlasting”
Oh, you’ll be aware now
That trial is near
It’s close at hand
The masquerade is over
It ends
Remove his crown
And bring him down
Now we shall mourn no longer
Our prayers, they’ve been heard
There’s no more league
That will bind us to the tyrant
Our voices shall be heard
Cause we won’t take it anymore
And we’re one, we are the nation
And we’re one, we are the law
Falsely they praise
Deify his majesty
“He’s blessed, the anointed’s
Fulfilling god’s will”
Curse them all
No further he’s king
Providence brought him straight into our hands
Now let him appear
There’s joy in the air
Now witness a new age is dawning
In trouble alone
He’s facing despair
Awaiting his bitter ending
We all know he’s guilty as charged
By punishment due to his crime
We sacrifice the wicked king
Acknowledged by scriptures and law
We won’t take it anymore
Our voices shall be heard
That is literally the problem with having a power vacuum, without a designated replacement, every one of those fuckers is going to be at each others throats trying to size total control.
I think he was going to say “lightly” instead of rightly, which makes it seem he was more on the fence than outright opposed to the idea. Hopefully whatever’s about to go down pushes him onto the right side of the fence.
In general, he does seem fairly honorable. You can disagree with his methods, but his concern for his people and the universe in general appears genuine. Simply giving up his throne and going walkabout would cause an immense amount of damage. Though perhaps from a long-term point of view, the short-term disaster might end up being worth it.
True, he made himself into the keystone of his empire,… that boon isn’t something that a character like him, a benevolent dictator, could easily grant. That’d mean, leaving the people he cared to the wolves and themselves suddenly. However it shows a great deal of character by saying “ it can’t be lightly granted”, he is honoring the boon asked, but it will be a great perhaps the greatest undertaking for a person such as Solomon David, as seen with his inner court, to let his children go and grow up.
Actually, all the seven are honourable in terms of their weird, twisted concepts of honour. They all have one thing that they feel honour-bound to do to excess (even Incubus, who thinks it’s a sin not to use the power one has). Zoss’ honour-fetish is probably impartiality; he left the seven to get on with it when he should have been kicking their arses. Allison’s honour-fetish is so far unclear, but it may be loyalty to friends.
One thing I feel like everyone forgets about Incubus is just how utterly, physically broken he is in person. The guy is probably literally incapable of fighting anymore, but he still clings to his own interpretation of what’s right.
42 Fragments the Universe Beyond All Reintegration
Very good point. If Incubus wanted to lead his army against Rayuba, he’d need a distance weapon to use again Solomon. And Incubus’ weapon of choice is … Allison?
Another thing worth noting about him: while his actions while have been implied by Maya to be abominable, so far every thing we’ve seen him do in the flashbacks has a different interpretation.
He would always, instantly, do whatever his master Meti asked of him, regardless of whether it harmed him. Maya believes that Meti despised incubus, and a subtler interpretation of her words does support that interpretation.
But if you take everything Meti said at face value, she’s done nothing but praise him for his adherence to her words. In his mind, he’s done only what he was taught is right.
Who knows — maybe him killing Meti was something that she wished for.
Honestly, and I think many people will not be pleased by this because Meti has been a beacon of wisdom (and she was in many way as she understood a lot of thing about the emptyness of the violence of this world) but Meti has a lot to do with Incubus being what he is today. If Maya is right and she used him as a exemple of what not to be for Maya, she basicly took a street urchin with trauma and a fucked up worldview from living in the streets (and having a survival of the strongest as a result) and teached him mountain-splitting fencing while doing nothing to solve his obvious psycholical issue. Meti was probably a very wise woman, but I’m affraid Incubus was one of her worst mistake.
He’s yet to prove his honor. To do so, he’ll have to prove that he protected the people he called his out of a real sense of duty, and not as merely protecting what he saw as his property. To prove his honor, he has to stand his ground and defend his former empire not as king, but as citizen, and defend the people not as his subjects, but his allies.
Say, can anyone make out what Solomon was saying before he was so rudely interrupted? It seems to me it would have been “can not be swiftly granted”, but I’m not quite certain – the lettering doesn’t quite seem to match an F being obscured.
I think he can understand her whispering; initially he seems wary and maybe angry to see her but not frightened, and I’m sure it didn’t take that long to properly register her presence. I’d assume teleporting directly into the heart of each other’s territory isn’t exactly encouraged, but he only freaks out after a panel of hissing.
What she’s whispering is unimportant, at the present moment.
The red glow is the prophetic image that is appearing on her crystalline tomb, like we saw before. By Solomon’s actions, it portends doom for Rayuba.
If I were Jagganoth, I would attack the strongest demiurge first, wouldn’t I?
All regulated mendicantism and petty theft is hereby suspended? What do you take me for, an angel? As I was saying regarding my future nuptial to the storm goddess who born in the ring minutes ago, the stone was a big incentive, but I’ve loved flesh, chitin, and even the raw black flame of an unbound demon in my ti-why is everyone fleeing their seats?
Looks like he was pissed that she was interrupting, and then he was like “oh shit, it’s Jadis here to probably tell me that Jagganoth is making his move”
I have to say.
Of all the Demiruges to interrupt the proceedings, Jadis was not the one I was expecting.
Dont worry i think you’ll be right anyway! doesnt seem like shes the only demiurge about to crash this party
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….
He Comes.
Yep. Time to run.
So much for White Chain’s barebreasted social-justice moment. Democratic mobocracy is going to have to wait a little while longer….
We now interrupt your regularly scheduled democratic regime change for round two of the unfinished inter-dimensional war!
Man, how I wish I could upvote this.
I got ya covered.
Praise be to Zalgo?
Watch out boy, she’ll chew you up.
And yet I think she’s the only one for which Solomon’s reaction is believable…
See that red light reflecting off of Solomon’s face? I don’t think it’s Jadis he’s worried about, but a certain invincible BIG BOY the rest of the Seven made a pact to deal with together.
Jadis’ symbol hologram things glow red when she prophesies. Jagganoth may not be here yet, Solomon may just be reacting to a message from Jadis that he’s coming, or even that the Worm is about to eat the city.
I guess you get to encase yourself in an unbreakable block of crystal if you also happen to have the power of instant teleportation. Seems pretty min/maxed to me.
If it’s instantaneous, why does her aura have directionality? Seems like she blew in on an east wind, to me.
Jadis was and perhaps is the greatest of the 7. She succeeded where a goddess herself failed.
Well, sort of a pyrrhic success…
To be totally fair, Jadis is the only one available who would bring a warning rather than an immediate attack.
Solomon is there and obviously preoccupied.
Gog-Agog is also present and up to no good.
Incubus and Jagganoth are allied and likely on their way right now.
Mottom is presumably greatly diminished, as it has been a year or so and she no longer has a source of fruit.
Mammon is crazy and old, and his vault has been destroyed.
Of the 7, 2 are injured, 2 seek annihilation, and the rest are present here with the sudden arrival of Jadis.
An ideal time for Jagganoth to move as only 3 will stand against him.
There are 4 who will stand, if Allison is able to fight.
Allison is surely powerful enough to be considered a demiurge, but there’s no way Jagganoth would accept that until he’s fought her himself. He doesn’t strike me as a great thinker, so I doubt he even remembers she exists, but if he does he would probably want to go fight her even more to see how she measures up against the others.
She’s the only demiurge that knows what’s going to happen before it happens, so of course she’s the first to arrive… to honor a certain oath she had made long ago, conditional to a certain type of event.
Solomon realizes this in the final few frames.
SUBITO!
Dunn dun!
Flick to kick!
Ohh shit. You know it’s about to go sideways when Solomon’s face looks like that.
Yup. Sure seems like the Universal War is back on.
To see just how strong Solomon is in action, then to show him looking that worried… that’s marvellous use of set up and pay off in a story!
That has to be one of the most epic Oh Crap faces in history.
Indeed. From the look on our Sol’s face the city isn’t the only thing that’s being evacuated.
I think we’re about to learn that maybe – for all his flaws – Dave was never the worst option here.
That was fast.
Thus ever is the onset of Big Boy Season.
what could bring out fear in even a king of kings?
He fears not for himself but for his people, for the city is now a warzone.
Pretty sure he chiefly fears for himself. Jagganoth is the strongest Demiurge, and nothing in Solomon’s arsenal is a match for the indestructible, unstoppable red god. Solomon has built his own self-image on his permanence – he’s the Diamond, afterall. Now, not only has White Chain proven to him he can be bled by someone much weaker than him, but the one force in the multiverse which can crush him wholesale has arrived – Jagganoth. The diamond cannot survive this, and Solomon knows it.
But his first words in the face of a threat are for the city to be evacuated. I hold no love for Solomon David, but that is a sign of one who thinks of the stewardship of their people, before their own self.
Either that, or he doesn’t want the people to see that Jagganoth is his equal, if not greater in terms of strength. How could his myth survive if everyone sees Jagganoth arrive out of nowhere and start throwing Solomon around like a punching bag? White Chain merely drawing but a sliver of blood was enough to make the crowds cheer and bring Solomon low. Jagganoth arriving shortly after, to challenge Solomon as an equal and probably do a lot more than merely bruising his cheek? That wouldn’t just strain the myth of himself he’s so carefully cultivated, that would shatter it wholesale.
See, that’s not much of an issue, because jagganoth goal is to quite litterally wipe out everything. Solomon dosnt care about his unbreakable image, because even if he can stall of jaggonoth, the red gods army’s will be buisy wiping out every living thing they encounter.
Your mind is clouded by hate for the most reasonable and level-headed of the Demiurges, due to your own hubris. So you have forgotten the information that these fellows have refreshed you with.
I don’t understand the hate for Solomon. I get that he’s a villain. But we barely even have enough data from the comic to reinforce the charge that White Chain levels onto him, and reading through the comic it’s hard not to see an honorable person evolved from a difficult past. Where is his sin? Are his people prisoners being held in his kingdom against their will? I doubt it. In addition to clearly having concern for the well-being of his people, he was probably on his way to granting White Chain’s request. On this very page he is immediately open to what was asked of him, and was seemingly ready to speak about the difficulty of him passing his authority onward without it shifting toward something worse—clearly.
Honestly, it seems to me that you’re not just seeing hubris in another, they harbor a bias of something more.
He’s certainly a complicated character. But I wouldn’t say he’s devoid of “sin”, so to speak. At the end of the day, what White Chain said was right – that despite his efforts, he knows that his people’s happiness is temporary and inexorably linked to the civilisation he’s built, and that it is all founded on his continued existence. But his existence is temporary – as we’ve seen, gods and demiurges are powerful, but can certainly die. He knows this, but continues to push his people to worship him and his decided form of the perfect way of life. Intention or not, it takes some of his people’s will away. After all, they are *his* people.
White Chain insults him, yes, but perhaps she has seen what kind of a demiurge Solomon David really is. She has existed for a long time, after all. She’s seen some shit, to put it lightly. Given that Solomon doesn’t contest much (maybe because he didn’t have time, but he didn’t seem shocked at what she said, just concerned and deeply serious) it’s possible he agrees with her about her claims about his actions.
My apologies, I only meant to draw attention to the sins he has played out in view of the reader. No doubt we are all works in progress.
Perhaps an obvious mismanagement on his part has been creating tournaments to find his successor (and of course, to uphold his image) instead of creating an institution of education for his subjects to become more self-reliant and self-governing. Although, since many have already drawn conclusions on elements of his kingdom that we haven’t seen evidence for, how do we know there isn’t already? Even if there is, it may be useless in a few key places. Save massive military might, a democratic process cannot stand up to demiurgic power. If he doesn’t protect them, well, this is Throne. How many demons are there again?
Anyways, the point is it seems there are those who would portray this as some sort of patriarchal tyranny. Certainly a projection of circus mirrors they hold up in waking life.
Solomon did nothing wrong.
Except bow to the will of the Mob in order to let WC win. Even though she did not actually make him spill a single drop of blood.
For all the “The powerful must be so lonely” let’s not forget they earned their power, every step of the way, and then had a universal war. Meanwhile Starbucks Barista Allison got god jizzed, was aided by an angel and one of the once strongest devils, and never had to kill a friend who betrayed her nor lost anyone close to her. What if WC killed Cio? What if Salami Dave killed WC?
Let’s not forget where this is. Without SD, the people simply don’t have the power to survive. They didn’t on his original planet, they don’t here. Unless WC is willing to stay on as his sucessor so he can be free. He has an obligation to ensure that what he leaves behind isn’t abandoned.
White Chain is insane if she thinks cannibal devils are amenable to participatory democracy. I literally groaned on the last panel; this one saved it, because the utter *folly* of such a thing will now be apparent.
There is a Pratchett quote from, I believe, Carpe Jugulum that I am unable to find so I’ll summarise and paraphrase. There is a new breed of vampire who essentially attempt to sort of “bureaucratize” their feeding habits who are quite surprised when people welcome the old, more predatory, count returning. The people explain it roughly as “yes, he is a monster, but under the facade so are you, you’re just trying to be nice about it and expect people to be grateful”.
There is a certain… honesty about the way Mottom drains her worlds or Mammon hoards his wealth or even how Jagganoth seeks destruction. They will destroy you if you challenge them but they will not be all “look what you made me do” about it.
I know the argument is that Solomon was “looking for a worthy successor” through the tournaments but I don’t believe it. If he wanted one he’d have tried training people and see if someone can become his better or equal. Instead he performed the slaughter that we’ve seen leaving only those with “just enoough” ambition to be useful but not to challenge him. He probably thinks of himself as “the only good one” among the demiurges, he provides order and stability but no mighty tree grows in a pruned garden.
To be fair I think the biggest lie he tells to himself. On a certain level he believes what he says and he’d find very good reasons to do or not do things within the confines of the “for the good of his subjects” lie. The truth is it is only when push comes to shove that we’ll find out if he is capable of following through with the noble intentions he states.
I was wandering the Kill Six Billion Demons tumblr and came across a story that might be revealing:
Anonymous asked: “In my travels, I came across an obscure, unconquered world. I was surprised to find a book which contained an account of the life of God-King Solomon David, who even in this backwater, which knew nothing of the Concordance or the Wheel, was regarded as a paragon of wisdom! To demonstrate this, it told the tale of two prostitutes who came before him with a babe, each claiming it as their own. The God-King rendered a judgement that amazed all who witnessed. How close is this tale to the truth?”
Answer: “Very true. I believe the well-known story was that Solomon offered to split the babe in two for fairness’ sake, and when the real mother began to cry, Solomon knew who was telling the truth.
In fact, I was recounted the true story of this incident by a traveling peddler. Solomon was very kind to both women and listened to their concerns, leaving them with the promise of the assignment of a high imperial clerk to their case. The clerk quickly determined in no time at all through the well-organized imperial intelligence service that one of the prostitutes had a liason with a minor but decorated officer of the third legion some time ago. Questioning the officer uncovered very quickly the true identity of the baby’s mother, who were notified and brought to one of the world courts at haste. It had scarcely been a day.
Since lying in the court is a serious offense, the false mother was sentenced and executed later that day. Since copulating with an acting officer is a serious offense, the true mother was sentenced to six months of hard labor, her child was taken as a ward of the state, and her lover, the officer in question, was discharged from the imperial military, had his citizenship revoked, and died of complications from syphilis a year later, or so I hear.
The true mother is doing better, I’ve heard she is a clerk now, and her education was paid for by the crown.
She will still never get her child back.”
His reasons for evacuation are likely twofold: to save his people from the Red God’s might, and to shield them from his own utmost power. Ki Rata can level entire cities, and Sol likely expects to do so
Who can say?
I can. It’s Jagganoth
Maybe it’s the war god who wants to Pete the multiverse of all life?
The realization that Jagganoth now knows that he can be wounded.
Jagganoth now knows he can be wounded…if you bust out something that has never happened before in the universe and that was thought impossible right in front of him as a distraction. I think that Jagganoth himself has fought Solomon David enough that the King can keep him at a standstill.
I swear to god, if Jagganoth turns into a pretty woman too…
Go back and read the comic, GamerGater. White Chain was working towards this from the instant she appeared. Jagganoth has literally only been mentioned and shown as a doomsday weapon in the shape of a man, and has himself stated, and had others state, that HIS intentions are to break the Wheel.
What does gamergate have to do with this? And what are you talking about, white chain, let alone all other angels, directly appose jagganoth.
Read what 7 August Chain Burning wrote. Take note of the last line. That sort of off-hand misogyny was very typical of those who immediately co-opt’ed criticism of video games journalism, to just gender and LGBQT+ bash.
Implying that White Chain turning “into a pretty woman” is somehow wrong. And that if any other character does such a thing, it will also be wrong.
Or it could simply be a joke. You know how in movies and shows someone says “your not going to BLANK too, are you?”. Not everything is Misogynistic geez.
It was a joke, actually. Something fit for the crackiest of crackfics, where Jagganoth sees White Chain busting out of her shell, and is like “Yo, that shit is tight. I can do it better though.”
So you’re straight up projecting And trying to start arguments then. and just use gamergate as a convenient boogyman to label people to boot.
Please report to the nearest pharmacy and request their largest chill pill, then take it.
Holy crap, reacting this badly to a joke about the absurdity of the potential for a giant, muscle-bound demon monster to turn into a pretty lady JUST to get Solomon David shook for a second indicates that you need to go outside more.
As an Evil Gamer™ I hate all people who aren’t White Males equally. Suggesting that Evil Gamers™ are only misogynistic is deeply offensive when we’ve made such great advancements in Racism™ as well
All the protagonists and antagonists could be beautiful women and I would see nothing wrong with that.
I mean, most of the protagonists are pretty women, so you’re half there. Also, your username reminded me…does everyone else read Incubus’ dialogue in a David Bowie voice? Because that dude hit me with powerful Jareth vibes when he first showed up.
That this is the second time this is going to happen.
I think he was going to say “What you want can not rightly be granted”, which sounds like Jadis showed up just in time to save his dad butt.
I figured it was “lightly”, ’cause it’s a big deal. We may never know for sure.
I was thinking it was “Lightly” as its not as if him stepping down won’t create a GIANT POWER VACUUM OR ANYTHING.
“Power to the people” is really just power to Gog-Agog…
It’s really not. You’re forgetting the universal war is restarting right now, right this moment, and Gog-Agog is one of the 8 parties participating. She does not have free reign to just take over, she’ll be too busy fighting 6 other demiurges and all the unaligned parties will be able to make use of that distraction to defend themselves.
Gog-Agog strikes me as THE demiurge for doing that kind of thing while fighting, I doubt she has a hard time multi-tasking.
Harken back to the council of demiurges, when Solomon David calls upon all to stand together against Jagganoth, calling on ancient oaths.
Think back on Gog’s expression.
Probably a lead into making Angel tits the next leader.
Can we… not call her that? Her name is White Chain.
It’s so fucking weird seeing people reduce her entire complex person to a pair of tits, I really expected better out of this comment section than to immediately swing into misogyny.
I agree with the sentiment, but… after she got the robe, it’s hard to interpret having her breasts continually on display as anything other than fanservice.
Maybe having breasts, and having them be visible, isn’t purely for your pleasure, but just because the pose was actually more powerful than hiding her body with a cloth clutched at her neck.
There’s many historical contexts where visible breasts weren’t treated as for men’s viewing, but just because they had them and it was fine if they were visible.
I don’t know, I feel like this is really falling into the realm of Kate Beaton’s ‘Strong Female Characters’ parody where, yeah, the reason the male artist is drawing this woman with her boobs out all the time is *totally* for empowerment reasons.
You know, the only reason visible breasts are treated this way is due to patriarchy and its dominance in society in the first place. I don’t think women should be defined or limited by how heterosexual men perceive them. Now, the reasons for why this was done might very well be that the comic’s author is a heterosexual man who wanted to draw a little bit of fanservice, but that’s a rather uncharitable reading of Tom, who has thus far been rather good about female representation and feminism in KSBD. It’s much easier to read this as a statement of liberation, especially since it presents White Chain as mirroring Solomon’s clothing, symbolically showing them as equals, and possibly drawing an artistic connection to how liberty was portrayed in european art in the 19th century – as a woman with a bared chest and flowing robes, leading the charge of revolutions.
He definitely gets points for representation – Alison’s arc of self-discovery and empowerment is one of the best I’ve read regardless of gender, and White Chain’s trans arc has been such an amazing slow burn for years that I immediately assumed that the nudity was all about demonstrating, front and center, her becoming the being that she always was from the beginning.
But the page yesterday felt different somehow. Maybe I’m wrong (the liberty connection makes a lot of sense given what she was demanding from Solomon), but I started to think back about all the gratuitous content of previous chapters.
I’m beginning to wonder if it’s becoming less about symbolism and more about the over-the-top, shocking visuals that have become a hallmark of this comic, starting all the way back with the awkward-sex-scene-turned-deadly at the very beginning and the houses of lechery in Throne. Those scenes did a great job of portraying the decay of Throne, but they also served to attract an audience that likes seeing those things for their own sake.
Because there’s a difference between representation and exploitation, and it can be a thin line between the two. K6BD often falls on *both* sides of that line.
While a lot of Abbadon’s choices can be interpreted as representation, at the same time they serve an exploitative function. The Cio/Alison relationship can be seen as a positive representation of same-sex relationships (and god knows it’s well-written enough to deserve that), but it also is framed and drawn in a way that will attract an audience that wants to read it simply because they think lesbian sex is hot.
I think it’s naive to assume that Abbadon isn’t doing both. Sure, breasts shouldn’t be limited to how men perceive them, but keep in mind that the person drawing them *is* a man. He’s not doing this by accident – he knows that a large portion of his audience loves boobs for sexual reasons.
If he were against that interpretation, you’d think he’d have had a different defense to White Chain’s nudity than to mention that Solomon is *also* super sexy on twitter:
“people getting weirdly offended that i put a titty in my comic when solomon’s amazing rack has been in the comic for months.”
You can make a case for being newly born, and when someone comes into the world for the first time, s/he ain’t wearing clothes. What makes this comment bogus, however, is that White Chain was born with plucked eyebrows. THAT is a porn meme.
> Assuming my gender
> Assuming my orientation
Look, you want to play cheap nudity for shock value, you get cheap comments in response. Maybe if going topless was established as a cultural norm earlier I would have felt less like it was a slowly cheapening gimmick.
But if ahe’s going to wear clothes, then wear them appropriately. If she’s an angel and nudity has no taboo for her due to that, have her go naked. But no, she has them covered in multiple panels prior and then suddenly whips them out during the dramatic moment.
OH MY GOD female tits were shown. Only male tits are OK! This artist is clearly is clearly producing porn, I’m going to masturbate to this later. Fuck off.
uh, no lol. it isn’t done in any sexual way my dude, it’s just done. guys show off their tits constantly, the only reason boobs on women are so deviant in peoples eyes are because of how demeaned and sexualized women are in general for simply existing. just drawing nips isn’t fan service man, fuck off
I was going to comment on how Gravatars are the only way to identify these comments, due to how your original sentence had no statement of opinion to make a through line with this one, but then I realized you had other comments more or less in line with what you’re saying here.
Now I’m just seeing if I can make a duplicate name, like I was pondering.
Humdum.
One finds it totally unforgivable to call one’s sister Angel tits, it’s just not on, the t should be capitalised. One expects better of a member of this comment section that readily refers to the God-Emperor Solomon David as Salami Dave. There may be seen some misandry in that perhaps, just as misogyny referring to WC’s needlessly but unselfconsciously bared breasts in such a fashion, but one read just mainly a disregard for niceties and convention – much the same as a certain little blue-masked devil might. If Cio in the coming moments were to be yelling at her friend ‘hoy Angel Tits, move yer arse’, it would be apposite.
It’s not misogynistic if it’s just a comment poking fun at the comics first and so far only instance of nudity. Get a clue.
Uh, Cio has been nude plenty in the comic already actually. Like just after sex with Allison. I didn’t comment tbough because it’s normal to strut around naked after appeasing Allisons ravishing thirst for devil flesh.
Ah but Devil Tits had nae nips, ‘spite bein a bein of pure desire able to create thums own bod.
You gotta look at the nips of the heart. Careful, though, you have to endure the nips of the teeth to get to the heart.
If you have a problem with “Angel tits”, then you should also be as equally offended by the many times cio called white chain “stony arse”.
You should not, as Cio is a work of fiction and the objectification of women is evidently and sadly real. As is an unfair disposition against authors who write heroes who are women, or transgender, or challenge masculine authority figures, or favor dismantling hierarchical power structures.
Calling Solomon Davis “Salami Dave” isn’t offensive though?
Literally treating him like a piece of meat?
At least with the Titty Angel, her becoming female and flesh and therefore the singular Angel who actually HAS titty’s to pop out is relevant to her character development and not just “hurr durr meat man funny name”.
Or maybe both things are just gentle ribbing at artistic choices and we should remember that it’s art, not people, being made fun of.
I mean we call him salami Dave because it’s easier to remember and rolls off the tougn nicely. And faster to type.
How is Angel Tits not the same thing compared to her full name? Although Titty Angel might be more accurate, describing the fact that she’s the only angel who has ’em.
The tenure of gods and their magistrates
By good men it must be deposed
The covenant made can be voided at once
Disanoint him, take his crown
They plead for their king
And they pity their lord
Put him to death, that’s what I say
Though never so just these dancing divines
Endue him with reason and grace
Their gibberish
Words dissemble the facts
God’s will
They falsely will claim
Let him curse my name
On these blood-stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name
But remember the truth
So there they come
From everywhere
They witness revenge
Hear them calling
“You’re laden with blood
It’s spilled everywhere
And sorrow’s everlasting”
Oh, you’ll be aware now
That trial is near
It’s close at hand
The masquerade is over
It ends
Remove his crown
And bring him down
Now we shall mourn no longer
Our prayers, they’ve been heard
There’s no more league
That will bind us to the tyrant
Our voices shall be heard
Cause we won’t take it anymore
And we’re one, we are the nation
And we’re one, we are the law
Falsely they praise
Deify his majesty
“He’s blessed, the anointed’s
Fulfilling god’s will”
Curse them all
No further he’s king
Providence brought him straight into our hands
Now let him appear
There’s joy in the air
Now witness a new age is dawning
In trouble alone
He’s facing despair
Awaiting his bitter ending
We all know he’s guilty as charged
By punishment due to his crime
We sacrifice the wicked king
Acknowledged by scriptures and law
We won’t take it anymore
Our voices shall be heard
Plbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplbplb.
You motor boating son of a…
There would be no power vacuum: Solomon has an army of male descendants who have been waiting to take over for millennia.
That is literally the problem with having a power vacuum, without a designated replacement, every one of those fuckers is going to be at each others throats trying to size total control.
You should look up what happened after Alexander died.
I think he was going to say “lightly” instead of rightly, which makes it seem he was more on the fence than outright opposed to the idea. Hopefully whatever’s about to go down pushes him onto the right side of the fence.
The thing is, stepping down is what he always wanted out of this tournament. He wants to go on spiritual kungfu trip.
But what he wanted is to leave someone of at least comparable power to him holding the throne. To preserve his empire against other demiurges.
The Gang does not hold such power. Thus his hesitation.
I actually think it could’ve been “instantly”, no? There’d need to be a transitional period and all that.
too short for instantly. i thought rightly at first too, but lightly makes more sense.
put me down for “lightly” as well.
I too have “lightly” in the pool. To his eternal credit, he didn’t say “No.” He may yet be remembered with honor.
In general, he does seem fairly honorable. You can disagree with his methods, but his concern for his people and the universe in general appears genuine. Simply giving up his throne and going walkabout would cause an immense amount of damage. Though perhaps from a long-term point of view, the short-term disaster might end up being worth it.
True, he made himself into the keystone of his empire,… that boon isn’t something that a character like him, a benevolent dictator, could easily grant. That’d mean, leaving the people he cared to the wolves and themselves suddenly. However it shows a great deal of character by saying “ it can’t be lightly granted”, he is honoring the boon asked, but it will be a great perhaps the greatest undertaking for a person such as Solomon David, as seen with his inner court, to let his children go and grow up.
That is, if everyone can avoid becoming extra crispy when hell arrives in the next few moments.
Actually, all the seven are honourable in terms of their weird, twisted concepts of honour. They all have one thing that they feel honour-bound to do to excess (even Incubus, who thinks it’s a sin not to use the power one has). Zoss’ honour-fetish is probably impartiality; he left the seven to get on with it when he should have been kicking their arses. Allison’s honour-fetish is so far unclear, but it may be loyalty to friends.
One thing I feel like everyone forgets about Incubus is just how utterly, physically broken he is in person. The guy is probably literally incapable of fighting anymore, but he still clings to his own interpretation of what’s right.
Very good point. If Incubus wanted to lead his army against Rayuba, he’d need a distance weapon to use again Solomon. And Incubus’ weapon of choice is … Allison?
Another thing worth noting about him: while his actions while have been implied by Maya to be abominable, so far every thing we’ve seen him do in the flashbacks has a different interpretation.
He would always, instantly, do whatever his master Meti asked of him, regardless of whether it harmed him. Maya believes that Meti despised incubus, and a subtler interpretation of her words does support that interpretation.
But if you take everything Meti said at face value, she’s done nothing but praise him for his adherence to her words. In his mind, he’s done only what he was taught is right.
Who knows — maybe him killing Meti was something that she wished for.
Honestly, and I think many people will not be pleased by this because Meti has been a beacon of wisdom (and she was in many way as she understood a lot of thing about the emptyness of the violence of this world) but Meti has a lot to do with Incubus being what he is today. If Maya is right and she used him as a exemple of what not to be for Maya, she basicly took a street urchin with trauma and a fucked up worldview from living in the streets (and having a survival of the strongest as a result) and teached him mountain-splitting fencing while doing nothing to solve his obvious psycholical issue. Meti was probably a very wise woman, but I’m affraid Incubus was one of her worst mistake.
He’s yet to prove his honor. To do so, he’ll have to prove that he protected the people he called his out of a real sense of duty, and not as merely protecting what he saw as his property. To prove his honor, he has to stand his ground and defend his former empire not as king, but as citizen, and defend the people not as his subjects, but his allies.
I thought it was ‘What you wish can not presently be granted.” So it’s not a no so much as a, maybe later.
Well this is curious.
Say, can anyone make out what Solomon was saying before he was so rudely interrupted? It seems to me it would have been “can not be swiftly granted”, but I’m not quite certain – the lettering doesn’t quite seem to match an F being obscured.
“Cannot lightly be granted” is my read
“Can not lightly be granted”
Would make sense, One would need to set up a government system, if its a republic, you need a proper election.
He could very well grant that request but you’d need a few years to make it a proper government represented by the people.
Well Shit
im pretty sure the blue god has been lying the whole time
Very strange that it took Solomon David a moment to realize that anything was wrong. Did Jadis show something on their surface?
I think he can understand her whispering; initially he seems wary and maybe angry to see her but not frightened, and I’m sure it didn’t take that long to properly register her presence. I’d assume teleporting directly into the heart of each other’s territory isn’t exactly encouraged, but he only freaks out after a panel of hissing.
Also, her key started glowing at the same time she started hissing. That sounds like a bad sign.
His face turned red, so my guess is some thing is gonna explode
It appears that is not the red of an explosion, but the red of Jadis’ flame.
Its very close to the color from last time she made a prediction 4-77 book 1
Once can only wonder what doom she foretells
So what is Jadis whispering here, I wonder, and is it that or her Mee presence that makes Solomon David panic so?
*mere presence. Guh.
I think she’s drawing breath, and whatever it is that’s about to happen, Solomon David seems to think that the entire city will be ground zero for it.
What she’s whispering is unimportant, at the present moment.
The red glow is the prophetic image that is appearing on her crystalline tomb, like we saw before. By Solomon’s actions, it portends doom for Rayuba.
If I were Jagganoth, I would attack the strongest demiurge first, wouldn’t I?
The first lesson of Ending: it is first slow and silent, then sudden and shrill
‘what you ask…’
‘cannot lightly be grant–’
best guess 😅
JAGGANOTH! JAGGANOTH!
WAR WILL COME, SOLOMON.
IT IS THE TERRIBLE DESTINY OF THE FLAME IMMORTAL.
REACH HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE.
The Lady in Glass makes her move
She is but the herald
Well, here is Jadis and she seems to be speaking the Deplorable Word.
Big ice queen energy
I was expecting things to go sideways, but I was not expecting *this* particular demiurge to be the cause.
Back to the King’s Road, then! *vamooses in a flash of liquified nitrogen.*

(As the ever-burning holy wheel keeps turning)
I would watch a dance battle between Solomon David and Jagganoth tbh
More of this
shit’s about to go down
All regulated mendicantism and petty theft is hereby suspended? What do you take me for, an angel? As I was saying regarding my future nuptial to the storm goddess who born in the ring minutes ago, the stone was a big incentive, but I’ve loved flesh, chitin, and even the raw black flame of an unbound demon in my ti-why is everyone fleeing their seats?
That ellipses is throwing me off so much
Looks like he was pissed that she was interrupting, and then he was like “oh shit, it’s Jadis here to probably tell me that Jagganoth is making his move”
zeeky boogy doog
THE WORDS! Alien, you have spoken the Words, and you have spoken them rightly.
I fear that we, and Solomon David, are about to see Rayuba destroyed.
Again.
