This is what passes for a serious and complex manhunt story among the yinglet population.
The legend of the Oracle of Bakersroof is shrouded in mystery, and the exact details have been lost to the sands of time.
Basically he hung out a lot on the roof of one of the local bakeries, keeping an eye out for stuff that happened below in between meetings with various paramours.
Then one day the baker got tired of all the scav-humping noises on his rooftop, so he chased him off and the scav fell off and broke his legs. But he got back up there and kept doing exactly the same thing and something something and so he’s the local oracle now
Thanks as usual to 
Caedere (NSFW) for coloring/shading the characters on this page!
I’m sure she wants to find you, too!
She’s gotten really good at strangling yinglets.
Maybe he needs to hire Izzmael, intrepid investigator of crimes most foul
Well This is was a great page, I was wondering if you would ever actually show the Yinglets getting a home run, and I hope to see more. Well that is a strategy, for Yinglets at least. If you can’t find what your looking for by asking other Yinglets and you need to ask more go to a place lots of Yinglet will go and have some fun while you wait to ask them.
Well it might be a home run, but yinglets only have like, 2 bases or something
METAPHORS
Yinglets humping. Something I didn’t want to see, but I’m glad I did
I always said the yinglets had stick legs but THIS IS TOO LITERAL!
Ahahahaha! Oh my god that is funny as hell! I love the oracle of the backers roof. Such an opportunist! Ah, this made my day and I needed it. This is also why I love this comic, the infallible logic of the most illogical species ever… good on ya Valsalia!
It is important to break the tyrannical bounds of logic, it is a cruel master and must be overthrown
good update
Sorry but that fellow is cute, and just something I can see a yinglet doing. I got some ideas for the next generation of legs if you want as well. Also, does anyone else get a kinda Sherlock holmes feel out of him?
Just found this series by accident. Absolutely hilarious. Definitely a thumbs up 🙂
Will I ever be able to show this comic to my mother? No.
Was the comic significantly improved by this update? Yes.
He’s… he’s beautiful!
Also, that’s lewd.
These two things tend to be related!
lmao god damn it
The small angry on has such a brilliant plan: wait and ask all the yinglets that visit the oracle because they are too forgetful to remember anything like the location of Lopin
I wonder if anyone else realized he appears to be looking for at least one of 2 Yinglets for example “NO, I GOTTA FIND LOPIN, OR DAT IVVAMOT’ SCAV
Child : Papa, what are those two scavs doing on the baker’s roof?
Papa : Uh… ‘Dancing’ dearheart, now look away before you catch scav scabies!
…Wouldn’t that be Scavies?
Bingo! So then, following that logix!
Scabies on Scavs become : Scavies.
And !
Scavies on Humans become : Humvies! (aka HMMWVs!)
Hmmmmm… Considering what the arifact do, his meltdown of losing it, calling other scavs, well scav,refusing to talk normally and wearing a red ‘cape’, I’m fairly certain Brakka is/was a human who was turned into a scav agains his will, and for some reason I have a hunch it was the Trademaster removing some sort of opposition in this way.
‘cept all those turned by the artifact thingies were turned into FEMALE yinglets, while Brakka is male.
there’s only been one person turned into a yinglet as far as we know, yah? what if this person was a female human who got turned into a male yinglet?
There’s one in the side story under the “Art and Extras” link above the comic. Another guy who ended up becoming a female Yinglet (and handled it a lot better than Kass did :P).
Was that side story acknowledged by Valsalia as canon? Cause there’s also a side story by Valsalia of Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell being turned into a Yinglet.
Implying that’s not also canon.
I thought the same at first, but I’m not so sure now. Vizlet talked about him as a known renegade, and if the trademaster about the artifacts he would either tell Vizlet or not be as openly cooperative. Besides, he has easier ways of disposing of annoyances that leave fewer loose ends. Also the way the yinglet showed such disgust at ‘human chasers’ while also being fine with breeding with other yinglets, added to the fact that he knows of these transformative relics, makes me think that despite his frustration with the average yinglet’s brain capacity, he has a deep seated distaste for humankind. It could be that he wants to even the playing field: rather than make all the yinglets smarter, turn the humans into yinglets
P.s. the way he speaks in a different accent and seems smarter than others, attests to a similar backstory to Vizlet’s, he isn’t a local and has been around enough to learn some things. Yinglets clearly have the capacity for learning, seeing as in the art and extras story the young ones were learning basic arithmetic. The fact that they seem to have a grasp on the concept of zero actually is a big achievement, seeing as even the Greek empire, as sophisticated as they were, couldn’t comprehend zero
Yinglets don’t seem to be inherently stupid as such, just affected by really really terrible ADHD.
Some Yinglets are very clearly stupid and/or a total genefuck. A breeding strategy that relies on a genealogical potluck will do that.
But most are, like you said, affected by their species’ trend towards what would be described as severe ADHD in the human population. It’s more than likely just a holdover from their evolution from twitchy little ratbirds into sentient twitchy little ratbirds.
A select few seem to have risen above that basic tenet of the species. Whether that’s due to the rapid mutation that the species experiences or some other process, we don’t know. It may be that those Yinglets who live past a certain age tend to grow out of it, and most are too busy inadvertently killing themselves to reach that point.
Lovin’ all this spectulation
Wait what is going on in that last panel?
This has been a very PG comic and he (she) has never showed to be comfortable in her new body when it comes to you know girly parts so is she actually just fighting? Surely that is nothing actually lewd, it makes no sense.
Never mind.
I had to reread the entire comic to work out that this guy is not Kass.
Same fur color, hair color, hair style, eye color, general shape, intelligence and grumpness….
but has a scar on his chin. You can see why I got confused here.
yeah, I had to re-read the comic to figure that one out too. XD
Yeah, definitely PG-13!
….slowly sliding into ‘R’. But some are fine with this.
Kinda straddling that PG-13 and making it cry though!
Considering that Brakka has been clearly established as a very different character since his introduction, I’d say you either don’t know the characters too well and/or are just incredibly unobservant. Don’t think anyone else has had a problem with that…
On the second panel, the lower portion of the wall isn’t a bit too dark compared with the upper one? Or that is something I can’t recognize?
So, can the oracle really walk on those sticks?
Don’t get fooled by the quest description..humping the Oracle of Bakersroof is part of the main quest, you will not unlock the “Fucking around until you find Lopin and Kass” achievement otherwise.
Yeah, yinglet life is a lot like a quest, but the risks are high and the rewards are low and all the NPCs are mostly useless and the objectives are full of bugs (both figuratively and literally)
So it’s like Final Fantasy 13; shit.
did not the last two yinglets tell him that Kass and Lopin are probably inside the mountain fortress? Or is he just desperately grasping around at this point?
Considering in the last comic we got Kass going to the enclave soon, I expect there might be a chance for Brakka to run into Kass. I expect Brakka is smart enough to realize that just because Kass and Lopin now live in the teeth, does not mean that thay never leave them. Hes trying to find out if there are places that they go to, such as, if they got a resteraunt thay go to often enough to be considered a spot to sit and wait for them to show up. I think Brakka is going to hear about them heading to the enclave, and eather try and waylay them on there way in, or on there return to the teeth. Probably on there return, as I do not think he will get the info fast enough to intercept them before thay reach the enclave.
Well, THIS was certainly unexpected O.o
The tiny nails on the stick legs for toes. I died.
It’s the little details like this in this comic that give me the biggest laughs.
Gotta make do with what’s available to you!
Heck, I didn’t even notice that!
I expect the next set of legs he makes will not have the nails. Nails do not aid in balance, and catch and things. Good idea for first generation prosetics manufacture.
Now that’s what I call adjusting to your problems!
And/or humping them
Wait, wait, wait…
Didn’t Ran demonstrate that Yinglet sex between two males means that they’d be facing opposite ways? The way that Brakka and the Oracle are going at it, it looks like there might be different ways for the males to get it on.
And now I’ve realized that I just got done talking about sexual acts between a made up species.
What has my life come to?
Take heart! So many other people will never come anywhere near to thinking of something so unique! You thought it, therefore YOU are also unique.
Boy do I ask myself that a lot, especially when I find myself describing to others what the canon details are OF this made up species, which -I- made up. : |
might just have been easyer to do with the fruit replicas he had the diagrams seemed to show enough space on either side of the dick to do it in whatever position you want
Well, we don’t see what Ran actually DOES with the fruits, right? Just the initial approach
When you have no legs, the hump comes to you. And you take every opportunity.
I really liked the expressive posture in panel 6. It reminded me of Kass in his ouroboros position. It’s also nice to see mature content when it fits the story, rather than keeping those subjects to dialogue only. I might be a little biased, but I think it speaks to the good judgement of the writer.
Squint + ellipsis = hump request computation
Looks like the oracle gets what the oracle wants.
The oracle has sees what he wants and how to get it.
You ain’t going to see that on those 80’s vice city shows.
I keep wondering if Brakka is an important enough character to make it The Cast page (once we learn more about him) or if he’s just backstory for ‘Zhat Zhing’
In Brakka’s case it’s ‘dat ding’
Now that’s ratchet
wow 38 in top webcomics your getting popular fast
“From Russia with love” 🙂 This comic has been translated into russian recently.
I do kinda have to wonder, how many bakers are there in valsalia? With the shown tech levels, I would expect there to be several, one in each section of the city at lest, as bread is a very common foodstuffs, and an easy to make one. Poorer parts of town the bread would probably be lots of very basic breads, and local familys would probably buy oven time to bake there own bread and meals there as well. A lot cheeper to do that, than to pay for your own wood and oven to bake in yourself.
Its actualy one way to give an idea of how affluent an area is, the more bakers, with more veriaty of stuff available, the better of the area is. Well, tell you get to the rich folks that can aford to have a baker on staff to make the stuff for them
Would this count as a trap? If so, would it be gay?
Val, I wanna congratulate you on behalf of russian community!
Translation of your wonderful comic just reached the 1st spot of the Best Comics on Acomic.
Clams and females to everyone! 😀
You know he maybe going about this all wrong shouldn’t be be talking to Yinglets who live close to areas where Insmoth guards are or where Insmoth personel frequent?
Yinglet-on-yinglet action! ….is kind of silly floppynoodle looking, like most yinglet activities. Figures.
Also those stick legs are really carefully length-measured for the Oracle’s missing legbits. Dunno if the ywork, but someone [or someying] put a bit of effort into making them.
Oddly enough, I expect thay do work. He probably does need a staff or cane to help with balance, as thoes nails will do no good at all, but, the lossed length of leg is all in the lower leg, past the knee. Other than pain where the stump of his leg meets the fake legs, and the loss of balance, he should be able to get around on them at lest. Heck, if hes had time to practice, he can probably walk on them without a cane, for a little at lest. Yinglets are shaped such that thay probably have much better balance than humans do.
Necro nitpick reply:
Those are not his knees, they’re his ankles. Yinglets are digitigrade with birdlike leg structures, which means the parts he lost were the forward portions of his feet.
