Holy fuck. ARKTO was made out of all the missing people we haven't met yet, I think? That would explain all the Cannibal King metaphors etc until now? Poor Fitch... I think I saw a lion in there... But. Oh my god. AHHHH THAT WAS SO GOOD. ALLISTER AND FRANK TAG TEAM YEAH FOR THE WIN!!!!

Bernard's Sketchbook

Well there's a horrifying thought. Even worse is imagining how they writhed against Frank after he crushed em...

Hadou Shinken

Okay ow, M, ow. Goddamn! @A<; My pride and my tie. Also…well…we’ve gone full body and psychological thriller and I’m all for it, lets go babeeeeeey~!

Becquerel

Hoooooly SHIT!! I think it's safe to say this one was just a wee bit of a mind fuck(pun slightly intended XD) The horror aspect worked really well in this one. The ending has me left with many questions, but so much excitement! Amazing work BC! Truly amazing!

Robert Smith

Yeah it was... YEAH. I think the central thing was another Voice, like the Laughing God? I think? The face that is human feels like the original thing, certainly? APEX experimented on that... Holy shit... I hope Otis isn't in there... It furthers my idea that the Fire really needs to not be alone, so much it incorporated others into it- and that whatever this is might be the origin of technology, like the Laughing God is consciousness So taking it down ends the Fire? Certainly disconnects it from the Network, which seems to have ended the network in DA - How are we going to see what happens next? I wonder, maybe another Cassandra scrambling to reconnect DA to the wider network, which we saw taken down at the beginning of Wednesday Talking of the Laughing God, DAMN that imagery was so cool, with the little wink that didn't exist because... yeah it is just a smile. Loved the way the clock changed to the God's symbol, I love how that has been a consistent indicator to who is in control

Robert Smith

ADAM HAS JUST POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THIS THING IS ARK TWO. Is the Fire a survivor from another civilisation?? Something that tried desperately to contact others, and found this world... AND IF SO, WHY DID THE LAUGHING GOD WANT IT DEAD?

WKD

That was the sexiest fastball special I've ever seen. Marvel comics could never

Fe5ter

Yay Mauling!~

Robert Smith

WAIT A SECOND. LION. HUMAN(ANGEL). EAGLE. BULL. THOSE ARE THE FOUR APOSTLES SYMBOLS IN CHRISTIANITY. IS... ARK TWO A HUMAN FUTURE??? A RELIGIOUS LAST ATTEMPT TO GET TO THE STARS VIA AN EVANGELICAL SYMBOL?

Bernard's Sketchbook

Holy shit that's some biblically accurate angel stuff there. Also oh lordy, cauterized GL incoming D: ALSO HI VOICE BBY HOW YOU DOIN

Khorax

Holy shit. I get serious Silent Hill vibes from this in the best of ways. It FEELS like it. I have goosebumps. There are chills. What IS that thing? HOW is it still ALIVE? BC, thank you. This comic is incredible.

Robert Smith

SHIT I AM AN IDIOT. ARK TWO. THE SECOND ARK. OF COURSE. THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE CHRISTIAN ICONOGRAPHY ON IT The Crimson Halls being a corrupted version and understanding of heaven, the imagery of eating flesh and blood a literal conversion of the Christian message for a Cannibal society... I think this was humanity. A twisted version of Christian humanity. And that explains the opposition of a trickster like figure in red... the first trickster creature in Christianity being Lucifer. Fuck

Selph

Lion, bull, and what looks like an eagle? Gives me vibes of things like the Wolf, Hart and Ram from Buffyverse etc. The human face especially is worrying.

NethGooRat

That whole sequence with Allister and Frank being caught between two dreams was SO good. It was masterfully crafted, holy fuck! It perfectly portrays the horny, happy vibe being a creepy dream/illusion so well, because the scenes were really HOT and completely random and out of the blue! "I can't believe I came to that of all things" has got to be my favorite line in this comic xD AND NOT TO MENTION THE LAUGHING GOD'S APPEARENCE! It was so good! I love his design, holy hell! The framing of those frames is so good! how he looks so small and in the corner, sneaking and slinking just out of vision, until he CHOOSES to have a spotlight on him. I'm loving this climax so much so far!!!

Bitan78

Lion, bull, eagle, angel are the symbols of the 4 christian evangelists. Mark, Luke, John and Matthew.

Fe5ter

The specimen is a Cherubim, in other words an Angel.

Hon3ybazzer

We're back to those x-files vibes! all of those eyes of the shaggoth are staring at frank, I wonder if it's aware of him?

Henry Whiteman

I really love how your love on macabre smut gets to be on full display here. I find it really fascinating.

Robert Smith

OK, so having thought about this- I am going to make a bit of a guess of the timeline. Something bad happened to humanity - so they sent out a very religious vessel. Something happened to it, and it broke down near the planet Dusk Acres exists on So, ARKTO collapsed to earth at the time of Rulk- explaining why he appeared out of nowhere in a flock etc. The idea of Rulk was just... the Christian ideas from the ARK TWO, which the sheep took up. The reason they did this is because of the genetic material in the ARK (conjecture) - as the Alliance was the main proponents of genetic modification, as far as I can tell. The sheep took technology from the ARK, and built themselves up as a superpower using it- and explaining why ARKTO is coded into all the technology, it essentially is their scientific development. This explains why Rulk and the Cannibal King were often seen as the same- they literally are. The idea of Rulk is that of ARKTO - which also wants to escape this planet. I imagine they myth of the Cannibal King was created as a kind of 'warning' for what the ARK would try to do. Meanwhile the sheep used the idea of Christianity to create a fake identity of 'Rulk', which was probably multiple sheep- to spread the ideas that would allow them to reinforce their social control. The Fire wanted to escape- so latched onto the ideas of the society around it. This is why the faith of the Kindled is so jumbled, because it isn't a real faith. It is an eldritch being's attempt to understand faith, of the creatures it is using to try and escape. All it needed was devotion to it. That is why the rituals effect it- with adapting all these ideas, it also took the ideas from the faith with it, so responds to them in kind. A kind of weird jamming, perhaps? Of course there is still the room for actual magic too, but this is just a kinda opening guess, since it is just through the network that things look weird. At some point APEX tried to experiment on the specimen further, to fully use it- and it reached out to Otis to rescue it, via suborning the ritual he was doing. Perhaps this is where it adopted the ideas of this faith, via Otis. The reason the Laughing God opposes ARK TWO is because animal kind is HIS, not belonging to this creature from beyond the stars.

Hon3ybazzer

OMG, that was just legible to me after you said it!

Cid

This update was absolutely crazy and I love it!

Selph

Well that certainly puts the humanoid face under a different light, oh dear.

Robert Smith

I'm so sorry I never got around to Monster Smash, you might have to enlighten me

RPL

Wow, Frank looks great on panel 42! Also is that thing on the end a cherubim? Like a biblical robot cherubim?

Robert Smith

YES i really loved the way the Laughing God very much felt like... a stage hand. Like the whole world is a theatre for him and he was enjoying every second of it, taking the spotlight just for a second to give the characters their lines. Speaking of, Frank in that was SO GOOD I... loved the way he has changed so much from how he began. He never would have trusted Allister to tell him where to throw before based on a vision. Their trust in each other I'm...

Bernard's Sketchbook

Oh, that just came to mind because it took place in the human world. As for the bad future... DM time

Robert Smith

Fov just pointed out to me. The Cannibal King myth is... probably just the explanation of what happened to earth. Something crashed on it, killing people and driving them mad - the Fire. To escape it, all the 'prophets' (upper class and scientists) were 'consumed' into the Crimson Hall- ie the computer of ARK TWO - which then went off to seed new life. Maybe it even did this to the world of DA... Then, the Cannibal King myth becomes both its past- and an explanation of its directive. Seed life, gain the most intelligent of that life and incorporate it into itself, then move onto the next planet.

Meanbeard

As the new layers are at last shown we see we yet to know all there is to know. And like most enigmas we may not know all that is going on for a very long time. Always beware the smiling one.

foreverVoyager

Damn I don’t remember this ending in Fallout 1

Robert Smith

Sorry this is the last post tonight I PROMISE but I imagine the reason the rituals worked is that Otis believed they did. When he was incorporated into the Specimen as it's main host, his beliefs shaped those of it - creating a sort of back door by which the way ARKTO worked could be edited. The reason the ritual is failing now is Otis is almost gone, so his beliefs no longer empower the system. The reason U's talisman didn't work is it was an entirely different think- a back door created by sheep to hack into ARKTO for their own uses

Crowbar

Ohhh I gotta look at this closer when I get the chance, this is so incredible

Crowbar

Also... da bawss <3...

cherrydad

oh god oh fuck what an update.... (also allister and Ouranos' bites were hot as fuck...)

Fe5ter

Agreed!

Somedude

I can't believe the lore of this comic is just Catholic Trauma: Shippuden

cherrydad

Since I've theorized about BB being meant to supplant Otis with the surgery to his chip -- I'm fantasizing about how that would've gone down. Devouring the anomaly instead of it devouring him. Exalted Beast, becoming the living ARK. Unbound from the lab...

Xeralex

Wow! First update for the new month, and gods, what an update it was…! I really wonder to see how will see Otis now…!

Robert Smith

OK technically this is the next day so extra thought time: if ARK TWO seeded life on this world- possible due to ideas about the cradle of life etc - the Laughing God can really be seen as a devil expy. Throwing people out of the pre-lapsarian sex and violence and consumption via the giving of higher thought, like the Tree of Knowledge in Eden. In this case, the story that Allister read to save him and Frank can be read literally - ARK TWO was the Fire that controlled the minds of the people, towards its goals, and the Pitchy Father, connected to moon symbolism and death, was the Laughing God giving animals individuality etc - alongside an awareness of death by the creation of distinct personalities. Perhaps they were working together at this point? Hard to say. This is so good BC arrrgghhh

Bluedude

Gehehe thats one way to go! Good stuff.

Retronicus

Ooh I've got some Dusk Acres to catch up on!... You know I am really looking forward to reading this whole thing in its entirety when its over, its going to be crazy seeing what was foreshadowed and how things developed. Plus I might understand it more lol Has there EVER been a reference to humans before now?... Oh man, I really feel bad for Frank but that panel of him fucking Otis' head is uncomfortably sexy... a little part of me still wants to see what would happen if they lose.... Agent R so cute, even if he's being a useless coward cat right now heh... I guess he just wasn't built for head-on fighting, more sneaking in the shadows and bossing others around when he can... and being smug n' dumb n' getting others to pamper him with his charms Great updates BC, I always finish reading blushing like mad with a confused horror-boner XD

Blade G Shepherd

Oh shit this was a trully epic update. I am just in love with how wild and brutish you made Ouranos this update and him ambushing RK from behind was absolutely brilliant. I’m sure the doggo just wanted to give the yeen a big friendly hug hehe. Was also simping massively for Allistair and Franks Kindled forms again from those two dreams. Also seems Iike M may have touched a nerve with Odhran. Awesome work BC, trully incredible 🥰❤️

cherrydad

There's one reference, on one of the tarot cards the horse is actually a human. Also when you do your re-read you'll realize just how long our arc was xD

akalasedge

Just got a chance to read this update. Gotta say, I'm kind of loving how we got V'ger'd <3 But also, some of those poses in the illusion scenes are pretty beautiful.

Oneiros

Sometimes in tarot symbology, The World (XXI) is framed on four corners with creatures of four different visages. Human, lion, bull, and eagle. But whatever that thing was, I am inclined to believe it was an abomination. And does this world even know of humans...? Edit: Right, I was a week late getting to this update so there's already a lot of much more thorough analysis. So I'll just add this: Excellent work as ever, Blazingcheeks.

RexFurry

Oh my god that trinket RF has got that's so precious! I am in love!
