Reach Heaven Through Violence (Kill Six Billion Demons)

Holy shit, the ending of the Tales of the Silver Prince is so good.

 

You know, their styles and aesthetics are different enough that K6BD obviously stands on its own, but thinking about it, I can't help but notice some broad plot similarities to Garth Nix's Keys to the Kingdom...

 

I love Oscar sticking his head out through the hole, basically just going "Don't mind me, just gonna watch. Have fun, y'all."

 

Someone has read the Evil Overlord list:

“The king Au Vam was known for keeping a peculiar member of his council – a low-born scullion, who would serve tea for his grand war parties. This country maid kept the company of ten of the most powerful generals in the Yellow City, and was privy to their most tenebrous plans, yet was scarcely sixteen summers of age and educated not a whit.

Her purpose was thus: if the grand designs and monolithic schemes of any of these mighty and august men could not pass the base judgement of a girl of sixteen summers, they were immediately discarded.

Thus did Au Vam win nearly all of his battles.”

 

Seen on tumblr wrt the latest page:

"That was a lot of work for a 'Bye Felicia' joke."

 

Huh. I keep getting a 403 Forbidden when I try to visit the ksbd site.

 

Oh, whoops.

Apparently the site is migrating to a new server but page is up on the artist's tumblr.

See Allison if you'd waited to kill the other one you could help Felicia now. Time your murders, Allison!

 

So, uh, which emotion is this one?

 

good question. comments supply "wrath" and "royalty", my own guess would be ruthlessness -- but the white-hair-black-leotard one wears the same earrings as incubus, so i'm calling shenanigans.
something something anthropomorphic personification of the push incubus gave her.

 

pride is also a possibility

 

Could be Confidence?

 

I really like Xand and Nxor.

 

Hmm. So looking at Princess's transformation, her mask turned red directly. I can't tell if Cio's mask is turning purple (ebon?) or just coming apart.
Also I can't tell if this latest development is Lust (Ambition) or Greed based. But the fireflies were kind of inevitable.

 

Ships I didn't know I wanted.
Also, mirroring YISUN.

 

someone please edit Karkat's "MAKE OUT WITH MYSELF TO BE" slip to Cio picturing Alison

 

KISS! SIX! BILLION! DEMONS!

 

Ahhhh. How satisfying. And such an abundance of rainbows!!

 

Reach Heaven Through Lesbians.

 

Yes, this is exactly how to deal with getting possessed by Lust.
