I meant it more as killing off Onni right after Tuuri is just over the top, especially since Lalli isnt really a character who shines particularly well in grief. Onni is, and this whole arc is him dealing with it. Killing him would also dominate Lalli's character so it'd be an awful narrative decition

Yeah she could make something about elsewhere but it'd be souless at best and offensively innacurate at worst

I've seen people in the comments speculating that clustered cities like Tokyo or New York are probably filled with horrors that would make even Godzilla have a "What" moment. And honestly, they're probably right.

Let's be glad that the Rash probably can't generate things on the scale of that Leviathan that tried to drown Lalli in the dreamscape. At least, not easily.

I think rash monsters have a "critical" size that they can grow into. Otherwise those megakaijus would have probably just rolled over and overwhelmed even the north

Something happened, ON TOP of the end of the world

>sundress Sigrun

Too many mega huge cities. A single beast out there could spark an epidemy and you can kiss goodbye half of the country.
Its too big and too densenly populated to be manageable, not to mention too hot. The rash us still abominable in the brutal north winters, everywhere its probably borderline unstoppable

I do know this, as written above, it just triggers my autistic worlbuilding itch, a line like "canadians and americans do their things, we dont speak often" would be nice

The sun is probably the limiter

They have to be either small enough to get shelter wherever or live where big buildings and the like are able to fit

I once saw the SciFi game she is working on with these characters, saw he lost his ponytail, didn't realize it wasn't SSSS, and screamed in shock and fear.

Ah right weakness to light. Beasts can surpass that though, uber giants made of millions of cattleheads are still an issue

Swede, because I'm one by heritage.

I'm sire there are other areas with "civilization", like extremely remote island in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, or other remote areas in the temperate zones and arctic/antarctic circles.
But they're also not the focus of the story, and I highly doubt that the Nordic groups would ever be able to come in contact with them, so it's completely unimportant as to wether they exist or not.

I don't think ANY rash monster is completely immune to the Sun. Though dusklings and beasts have more leeway

A spot of good sunlight in the eye was enough to suppress the disease a bit in the shaggy white good boy

Man take your medicines, couldnt care less about nignogs and africa, i like story and characters, just my suspense of disbelief.

Anne herself said that she couldn't even leave for her rightful afterlife and that she was entrusted with a mission (which was to guide all the wayward Ghosts tainted by the Rash to Heaven), so there's clearly higher powers at work for her. Not to mention that she didn't even actually pull off the giant ray of light that sucked them all up. That fell down on its own, and Sleipnope and the other ghosts had to be saying "we're sorry" to SOMETHING.

We've also seen actual divine summoned or manifested before, like Kokkolintu or the Swan.

>to be saying "we're sorry" to SOMETHING.

To Reynir

They werent even looking at him. They seemed intently focused on whatever sent the fuckhuge ray of light to pull them all up.

The only one who even acknowledged Reynir at that point was Anne, and that was only to tell him her name.

Honestly, there is probably a significant anglo population surviving in the South Atlantic.

Places like Saint Helena, Ascention Island,and the Tristan da Cunha archipelago have local (promarily British) populations and ports but essentially never visited and so far off of common trade routes that you'd be hard up justifying their infection. Hell, most of them don't even HAVE significant mammal populations aside from humans. Some of these places only get monthly shipping with the outside world, in a good year.

Hell, if you added the Falklands in there you'd basically recreate the British empire, but upside down... and with Argentinian colonies/outposts instead of Britanny.

Don't call em the 'eternal' anglo for nothing.

The Giants don't really seem particularly limited by size. Or even how organic masses physical dimensions should normally work. So I wouldn't bet on them having a set limit to their size.

I think it's more a problem off if they get too big, you run into some kind of problem where they can hardly move or respond and essentially lose the ability to be anything other than highly elaborate landscapes. Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually die on their own from not being able to do anything anymore.

You're assuming places like the Shetlands and Orkneys would be overrun. Or Wales. Not even the Rash would bother the Welsh.

Plague was obviously caused by magic shit, probably same thing that returned magic and christian miracles to the world.

>Godless danes are the worst off, after the Finns.
>But godless Swedes are second best off.
Guess not fucking up your military plans matters more than not having magic.

>probably same thing that returned magic and christian miracles to the world.
Unlikely. The gods seem pretty opposed to the Rash as a whole. At most, it's emergence gave them an elaborate excuse to start supporting their followers directly again.

I mean, they tried to launch a land invasion into the most densely populated area of old Denmark. Almost a 5th of the entire country's population lived in that city, and the amount of trolls in there would vastly outnumber any other part of country.
They started their take back of the country in the worst place possible.

They took a calculated risk.

Ehh, the Welsh would have to deal with being physically connected to the rest of of Britannia... London in particular is probably a fine hellhole/spawning ground.

There's also all the livestock to worry about as troll vectors.

Assuming places like the Shetlands, Mann and Orkney's survived they'd have probably been raided the fuck out of existence by all those nordics going full norz-cvlt again. They're also within reasonable boating distance by contaminated nautical amateurs trying to escape the mainland.

A Welsh lad's likely to just go 'Arry's no lookin' tu good t'ni' and hand him a beer than get infected though. The Rash knows better than to lower itself to infesting the Welsh.

that's what i said, there are more girls in the comic but she is the only one left in the main cast

Is that Tuuri or Onni?

Obviously Onni. But Tuuri wouldn't be partial to a spectral threesome I wager.

Fuck, you're right. These theoretical Southsea Brits should totally be fielding 'liscensed magicians' in tweeds and tophats.

Iirc she did mention that there were probably outposts in some pacific islands. but id imagine life they would be way harder than in Scandinavia due to how land is at an absolute premium.

Nope, the mages use magic, and the ghost priest managed to exorcise the souls to the afterlife, not an ounce of science or any pretense of "magic being technology"

Ssss thread do very well on weekends, no so well outside of them though

I think it's just that nobody pays any attention to solely page dumps of three or four pages. Nothing to discuss.

Anyone else feels like Reynir basically became THE main character ever since Tuuri died?
His relationship with Onni is only second to Lalli's so on top of that I feel like hes gonna be (again) one of the high lights of the arc
We are never gettinga Sigrun or Mikkel centric storylines at the rate the ssss becomes more and more focused on magical aspects (which is reasonable I suppose, as the rash is inherently magic, but it still stings). Even Emil can piggyride cause his boyfriend is another magical fuckboy but the other two are screwed by being too mundane

Ah a proper look at sea beasts... Mina had been teasing them ever since back then when Tuuri and Lalli took the boat

>ssss beco
They're the muscle and the logistics. Don't count them out.

Daily reminder that they didn't destroy her brain. On the trip back she'll emerge from the water, a full monster.

Her body might but her spirit was taken by the Goose of God.

Sea beasts would be a huge problem. The small population of the Falklands simply couldn't resist them forever. Things would inevitably deteriorate without any outside supplies.

They confirmed that those who die while still in the early stages of infection do not rise

I wish that were me.

Fake news. Finns are not native americans, and even if they were thousands of years ago (good luck proving that), they mixed so much with the neighboring indo-yuropean tribes they have 0 problem growing beards.

>A spot of good sunlight in the eye was enough to suppress the disease a bit in the shaggy white good boy

is she up for incest then?

nah
ever since they got to iceland the spotlight seems to be trained on lalli instead
I mean, getting all your friends to suddenly join you on your solo adventure? that's an MC right there

Denmark has fjords, they're just not the cliffy type you see in places like Norway, which is also the type that non-Scandinavian speakers generally associate the word with.
In Scandinavia it's used when talking about long narrow sea inlets, and the actual hight or steepness of the sides are not really that important.

That was stupid, I'm still mad at the backlash she got.

hm
closest synonym to that concept of fjord I can think of in english would be the (borrowed) concept of 'ria', but that requires a river
'loch' can be long and narrow and shares the general purpose-ness, but is way too broad in scope,
and 'inlet' would fit like a glove except you'd often expect it to lead you into a bay or whatever, rather than just be there

guess we'll have to live with 'fjord' referring to the cliffy fjords when in english
...still a better deal than 'sombrero' referring exclusively to those silly mexican hats, rather than all hats

>Back when the fandom called him Braidy
I have fond memories of those days.

In all seriousness, I can't tell if Minna just got better at drawing him as a boy or if I just got used to it.

Definitely Swede. They are the only ones having any success in reclaiming the Silent Lands.

You just got used to it. Reynir's still two steps from being a girl. Imagine the trap lewds if he ever gets as popular as Astolfo.

Seems to be quite a few religions/spiritual beliefs are real thing.

The weird thing is that even cristianity has legit magic powers now, yet it suddendly just died off while northern religion crawled out of the history books somehow
The apocalypse is off. Something or someone messed with something, the world is upside down not only because of the rash and the mega zombies, but because of something else

Mongols aren't even close to them, it's just a meme.

Jesus Christ how horrifying.

I feel like after the meetings with pastor Anne (or the battle with the troll horde) he has been more consistently male looking.
His face is a bit more squarish and his towering height is enfaticed. I think his new character profile really shows it off, he looks far more clearly like a dude

Are those automatic harpoon guns or just crack shot sailors?

Not so much human, more like their fins reverted to their actual skeletal structure. Probably an adaptation to grab ships and people

I dont think anyone but swedes (maybe) have the tech for automatic motion detection turrets so probably good eye. They most likely were expecting it cause a sonar which is way more reasonable with iceland's tech level, and they are seasoned sea beast killers

I mean, considering how things went down I can see it falling that way.
Unless all the Christians suddenly disappeared when things went to hell I could see people abandoning it when:
>Real die hard religiousness seems to be declining
>You suddenly introduce horrifying abominations that seem to imply the end of days but surprise surprise your beliefs didn't whisk you away to a better place and you saw Sunday school teacher Aunt Suzy turn into a troll
>For whatever reason years have gone by with no contact from peoples that don't have a bit of a connection to your old folk lore.
Add a few charismatic people who managed to tap into the old magic and I can see people either diving head first into the old ways or digging in deeper that this is all just science we don't understand.

I dont think it'd work on such a large scale, especially only in like 3 generations, to the point that for Reynir christianity was an old rachety thingy he has barely heard of.
Anyways, actually the glaring thing is that religion has power now. Even christianity, so its not a "the old true gods came back" its more of "ALL gods have power now" which by itself is very suspicious.

It is a common meme that with time we will automatically lose the chains of religion that achieve the perfect atheistic utopia. The meme is mostly spread by idiots who do not understand human nature.

>ships get fucking BOMBARDED by demon mutant dolphins straight out of port
Just fucking imagine the whale-beasts

From what I saw it looks like they cremated her and buried her under rocks

Religion does tend to wane over time the more prosperous and socially liberal a country grows but its not dying in 3 generation even with the apocalypse in between. Just no

They probably dont have the mobility and sonar calls them out. Torpedo-ing them down seems pretty easy, while dolphins are too fast for that

The fuck are you two talking about? Religion is very strong in this setting.

But not christianity
Thats the whole problem. It somehow died out of nowhere, despite the fact that its just as powerful as the old, revived northern religions. Reynir barely recogniced it as a fossil.

Paganism died out of nowhere and DIDN'T involve 7.6 billion people dying. I cannot begin to imagine why THAT is what sets you people off in this setting short of having your heads up your own asses arguing religion whenever possible.

And they'd have to sail all the way around 400 troll infested islands to get there. The logistics would be a nightmare.

It's still better than attempting to land on the lost parts of Sweden like they did the first time. I bet that entire debacle was a Swedish plot to kill off good Danes.

Perkele.

Also you can't kill of two non-immunes in a row. That would be discriminatory!

Finn all the way

Hokkaido is more sparsely populated and has a cold climate, people could survive there

Nah, lalli was always the main character

Hokkaido can really only be reached by ferry too so it'd be pretty defensible

There’s actually a tunnel between Honshū and Hokkaidō , but I can imagine it could easily be destroyed to prevent trolls from coming

That's assuming that they forsaked all national bonds, destroyed a tunnel no doubt full of their fearful countryman, and began shooting everyone trying to reach them by boost in sight. It's canon that Iceland only survived by being super fucking brutal and dressing boats full of families on sight.

I don't think Japan has the grit to do it

Comfy, but where do they get the fuel to push around big ships like that on the regular? Did they transform them into stream ships and get their fuel from Finnish logging?

This arc is literally set up as Reynir/Onni rescue romance plot

Old world oil, the north sea has sidable oil deposits. I can picture the oil rigs suviving and now operating at a very small capasity which is noteless enough for the tiny amount of people that remains

Lalli has always been more of a support character though, first to Tuuri then to Emil. Hes always there but he doesnt actually drive the narrative much. Reynir has way more leg on it

Sigrun is underrated in the lewds department, and Reynir can fuck off the edge of my dick in the comic. THICCness died for that shit-character.

Personally I always thought of the story as having an ensamble cast, with each character getting the same amount of development adn screentime. But going by the classic five band structure, Emil is clearly the MC because he's a strong and sort of brave guy.

Attached: Stand-Still-Stay-Silent.jpg (940x1322, 590K)

What if I told you Reynir X Sigrun is canon?

You would be wrong.

So basically if one big whale troll Nick's out one oil rig then humanity loses its means of transportation AND EVERYBODY DIES!

I haven't figured out why I believe this, but I have this feeling like the creator sees the bumbling explosive Swede as the closest thing to a protagonist.

The hell are you on hes the least useful member of the team and his screentime is completely eclipsed early on by Tuuri and then Reynir and Lalli. Hes half relevant cause of his relationship with Lalli but otherwise a no one

Reynir is a far more clear mc set up as having sort of a chosen one thing going on and undergoing a mystical awakening and getting the most changes

He has the most potential for character development both emotionally and professionally, he's intrusive enough to get involved in others' issues, and he is both immune and adventurous enough to be involved in the most tense climatic situations without dying. It's there is over person to take center point in the story and never die, it's him.

Also he isn't precious enough like other characters to kill off in "nuke the readers hearts from orbit" fashion... Some characters are made likable and precious just to kill them off. That's applied to one character thus far, may apply to one more, and certainly doesn't apply to the spoiled Swede.

The problem is that the series is heading towards a more magic focus. Yeah he has the cool backstory thing going on but Apart from his psychic faggotry with his bf he is a other mundane idiot

I thought Emil would be the first to bite it, if anyone.

The story isn't heading anywhere other than the path that gives everyone equal development such that no one truly is the protagonist. I'm or we are simply pointing out that Emil checks the most boxes as a protagonist. Whether this is just a coincidence or a freudian slip on the creator's part, it doesn't really matter because we are all in agreement that the story isn't meant to have a singular protagonist.

If we are speculations who might be the creators NOT-THE-PROTAGONIST, but actually is, in order to speculate who won't die then yes, I put forth Emil. He works too well as a silent observer who just goes with the flow.

He's fucking around with magic too much. Any sort of magic system with the potential of devouring your soul is inherently dangerous. He'll start casting from lifeforce, or sacrifice himself or something.

The warrior-types just have to reload their gun and can retire with a missing leg or something.

I kinda wanna see what happened at the Vatican and if the Pope gained some magic Jesus powers.

Golden bubble of God's Grace around Rome.

>Rome is protected by Legions of Holy Crusaders who keep the surrounding area safe

So where else might have survived. We have mountain Chinese, Hokkaido, Rome and South Sea Brits.

I wouldn't put it past the Canucks or Aussies. What about Bedouin tribes? Not alot of cover for Trolls to hide from the sun.

Aussies See worst things every day so they are probably fine.

Unless it mutated all the Emus then they are fucked.

>spoiler
good fucking lord
may god have mercy on that shithole of an island

Jerusalem is probably fine, they already have a wall set up and everything and its probably the holiest place in the world.

Imagine the post-Rash Amazon

How smart are those things? Places like arabia are a total deathtrap if you lack the cognitive functions to plan ahead and follow routes.

Simultaneously horrified and fascinated at that thought.

>Israel is fucked up and everyone there died
Thank the gods.

The rash only affects mammals.

Have a superior brilliant theory. The Rash was accidentally caused by the US military, who were experimenting with genes of lab rats to give them magical powers. The aim was to do the same to people, giving american soldiers magic, so they could defeat those damn russians once and for all. Experiment gone wrong. Cats are not affected because cats are that awesome.

I think they still have to deal with drop bears.

Grosslings seem to retain pretty much all intelligence from when they were human, but complete with an utterly malignant will driving them. Even basic Dusklings could brainwash a mage or other sensitive into opening a door or window to get the massacre party started.

EPIC!
EPIC FTW!

>yet another girl to distract from all the cute boys
Fuck you

>superior brilliant theory
Eh, could be funny in a comedy comic, but not SSSS.

I kinda hope the disease isn't explained 100% it's not center of the plot or story, why remove the element of mystic? let the reader fill in the blanks.
Worst case scenario we end up in World war z theory where the entire gimmick of the story is the zombies and the reasoning behind it just falls flat on its face with long lines of technobabble.
So far the story has been more akin to Zombieland or Shawn of the dead, the struggle is internal as well as external and the zombies are a major factor but they are mostly in the background a part of the world an ever present danger the characters are aware of but not used to. The disease is used to propel the world building and characters forward instead of being the main focus.

>World war z
book or movie?
I don't recall the book going much into technobabble or explaining zombies, but it's been a long while

>Wait, we're not even on Yea Forums! This is some fake channel.

>Yes, that is correct
>You can't go there without risking promotions, much like double chan

Movie, I don't remeber much about the book all i remember is the author of the books was so detached from the movie that he said something akin to >>I wanted to hate it for ruining my story but this wasn't my story this was a hollywood story with my name in the credits.

That poor red idiot is never gonna see bornholm

The best advice about adaptations I've ever heard is from Michael Buckley:
>Don't think of it as a retelling of your book. Think of it as a two-hour commercial for your book.

Only hits mammals so.... jaguars are the only real issue. And you know the sloths but im not sure what to think of zombie sloths.

World War Z has a companion guide How To Survive the Zombie Apocalypse, if I'm not mistaken. They went into detail about the the disease, how it preserves flesh despite clinical death.

>Hey...Emil...I'm...gonna...eat...you.

The world war z movie isnt that, it literally is completely unrelated to the book, as in not a single plot point or character is shared

Oh. Never mind then.

Since trolls can die form cold exposure, I'd imagine the same would be true for heat.

Except they would probably quickly learn to burrow...

Oh god, sand burrowing ambush trolls.....

MUAD'DIB!

I wonder how other cultures would call trolls.
Consider that there is some sort of cultural regresion into old ways/religions.
I could see trolls in america interpreted as native demons or corrupted efreet in the middle east

Burgers would call them Bigfoot.

American trolls are Wendigos

The Amazon has dolphins, jaguars, capybaras, tapirs and monkeys to name a few mammals. Plus tribes, literally more cattle than you can imagine on the periphery.

Why would they look like deer? Trolls are supposed to look alien.

They don't have to look like ayys. That looks pretty alien to me.

Kekt

Poor braidboy

I love how cats are fucking everywhere they are basically pigeons now

It's a deer.

Ah man I really wanted to see ronne

What's with that expression?

Emil forgot lube.

Unlikely. We've already had a big hint towards the science side of it during the first expedition, and considerable emphasis was put on how old religions just got resurrected out of nowhere.
Considering that we are going into a magic heavy arc, chances are we get another clue.
The fact that the rash isnt just a zombie thing is too big to ignore, especially since magic came back with it for some reason.

He got roped into this whole adventure because he was trying to visit Bornholm

Once again he's been cucked out of a visit

As the person that made it, you made me double check what original file size it ended up as. Other user must have saved the thumbnail or some shit to my guess. It fucks with me that thru all the boards I lurk and post on over the past decade Yea Forums is the one that constantly reposts my OC's.

I keep restarting the game until I start there. Only way to win.

I probably saved the thumbnail, yeah.

>What's with that expression?
Your Hopes and Dreams Crushed.

same, there is something about him that makes it feel like he is going to be killed

By the Gods, what the fuck!
