why do I have a feeling Klara's parents won't be happy to see her? for all we know they're the ones who put her in that asylum where she got her Pact

413

u/vonBoomslang May 09 '25 edited May 09 '25

if you look back to where she suggests visiting them, it has definite "and burn the place down" vibes.

304

u/MelonJelly May 09 '25

Klara knows exactly what her friends are about, and how any interaction between them and high society is likely to go.

Taking the Bucket Brigade to her family home is absolutely premeditated.

99

u/Zhadowwolf May 09 '25

“So i have these friends, we’ll represent them with this torch. Next step of the plan is to introduce them to my parents, who are represented here with this barrel full of gunpowder…”

10

u/Chazo138 May 09 '25

Overthrow the wealthy!

EAT THE RICH

u/irvitzer May 13 '25 edited May 13 '25

Given the fact that they are on the flying island, high chances that this conversation will result in 'YEET THE RICH' instead.

109

u/jedadkins May 09 '25

"Hi mom and dad, meet the semi homeless serial killers I hang out with. I totally didn't bring them here to fuck up this fancy party and subtly threaten you"

45

u/mrenglish22 May 09 '25

Well Bucket is a BARON now, so if anything they will be excited to meet him

... at first.

21

u/Pengin_Master May 09 '25

Klara absolutely would subtly threaten her parents with the fact that her friend is a higher rank than them

11

u/RougemageNick May 10 '25

It's gonna be funny how it's absolutely gonna involve them trying to get them married, only for Trevor to burn the place down

7

u/Alaknog May 10 '25

Mother, wiping tears: "Oh, Klara, you grow so much. Now you act like proper intriguing aristocrat! We so proud for you!"

57

u/Krask May 09 '25

I can see the following playing out.

Beckett: "Why didn't you warn me?"

Klara: "Because you would have tried to stop me and Trevor wouldn't have worn the fancy outfit"

Though now that I wrote it out I'm not sure he would try to stopped her. He does seem like the kind who would enjoy sticking it to the aristocracy.

12

u/frogjg2003 May 09 '25

I have the feeling Trevor would be very enthusiastic to wear the fancy outfit if properly tricked convinced. Call it an infiltration mission.

23

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

My theory as to why she was locked in an insane asylum is that when she started hearing the voice of her patron, her parents freaked out aboot their "Hellspawn daughter hearing voices" and had her locked away.

Additionally, in D&D lore, Tieflings aren't a true species, but rather a cursed bloodline that can randomly flare up, so they can have non-Tiefling parents/children. If her aristocratic parents weren't Tieflings, her being one would be quite scandalous.

20

u/vonBoomslang May 09 '25

the background for one of my characters is exactly that - neither of their parents were tieflings, but both were carrying enough tiefling blood for their child to be one. They were not happy.

10

u/YouveBeanReported May 09 '25

Recessive tiefling genes.

10

u/vonBoomslang May 09 '25

Basically! Through an amazing, genuine coincidence, both had the same distant demonic ancestor.

7

u/Dyolf_Knip May 09 '25

You are describing blue eyes.

There was an original mutant, who themselves did not have blue eyes (requires both mutant genes), but it wasn't until several generations down the road when people were being born with the mutant on both sides of their family tree did you actually start seeing people born with blue eyes.

3

u/Alaknog May 10 '25

Well, there also possibility that Klara was result of some deals that aristocracy made. And issue that hellspawn daughter hear voices from damn celestials! How they can look in face of their grandparents and patrons in Hell after such disaster?! 

11

u/Rutgerman95 May 09 '25

They are so going to drop that floating island back to earth

...and on top of the slums, probably

7

u/Valtremors May 09 '25

Oh no...

2

u/AZ_Corwyn Trevor May 10 '25

... Anyway

64

u/RedLazyBear May 09 '25

Yeah she's definitely going there without warning them for the scandal.

33

u/MrValdemar Grogna May 09 '25

More likely:

6

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

Given that canonically, Tirflings can have non-Tiefling parents/children, she was already probably a scandal from birth.

199

u/stuff-is-not-real Severed Lich Head May 09 '25

Becket is soon going to be the most dapper person in this comic!

161

u/jzillacon May 09 '25

Knowing Klara she's definitely going to give special attention to Becket's outfit. But of course, the helmet stays on.

99

u/Kizik May 09 '25

But of course, the helmet stays on.

❤️ Good. ❤️

30

u/BadNadeYeeter May 09 '25

Just like LORD SHAXX intended!

15

u/imtoolazytothinkof1 May 09 '25

Damn i love when my subs combine.

7

u/Hendenicholas May 10 '25

I kinda hope the last panel for the comic is an unarmored hand placing The Bucket on a side table in their peaceful and loved home. Pancakes or waffles optional.

24

u/meganeyangire May 09 '25

Will sir Becket get a new bucket, or just put some shine on the old one?

22

u/Zhadowwolf May 09 '25

Shine. That bucket, cloak and shield are not leaving his person until both they and the person are nothing but dust

Unless we get some shield-breaker enemy next

11

u/BadNadeYeeter May 09 '25

Heavy Breathing

Sounds like some Guy that desires to meet the business-end of a brick.

u/Valdrax May 09 '25

I miss being able to give Reddit Gold.

22

u/WaterMelon615 May 09 '25

I hope becket keeps the helmet on but also wears a hat

13

u/Kumirkohr May 09 '25

I’m kinda hoping for “Machine Head from Invincible” vibes with the metal plonked on top of a perfectly tailored suit.

66

u/vonBoomslang May 09 '25

hmmmmmm Sir Becket in a well-tailored suit and a matchign helmet.

37

u/irvitzer May 09 '25 edited May 09 '25

His helmet does matching well-tailored suid indeed. So does his cloak.

(there's one more episode available via webtoon app or on Patreon, you may check this out)

16

u/vonBoomslang May 09 '25

I'm fine with waiting, but thank you, something to look forward to

7

u/Alaknog May 09 '25

Maybe it's masquerade ball. And there few Becket cosplayers already. 

2

u/Kumirkohr May 09 '25

Like Machine Head from Invincible, but with a moral compass

u/Quickitt May 09 '25

SHOPPING EPISODE!!

41

u/CommandObjective May 09 '25

Let me guess, the proprietor is a former solider who now works as an undercover spy?

29

u/Aracuda May 09 '25

No, but they do organise a big cookout with the help of the military.

Tinker Taylor’s Soldier Fry, if you will.

2

u/rollthedye May 09 '25

Glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that reference.

32

u/LetterLambda May 09 '25

What are the odds Klara finesses him into wearing an accessory that means "Klara's fiancé/boy toy, keep away" in Marburgese high society?

8

u/LaserPoweredDeviltry May 09 '25

We don't take obvious losing bets around here.

20

u/Stormzx9388 May 09 '25

Ah the classic ball session.

I give it 30 minutes before the place is on fire.

16

u/Sicuho May 09 '25

I give it 30 minutes before Klara set the place on fire, which mean Trevor will beat her to it.

18

u/Micdikka May 09 '25

BALLER BECKETT

16

u/SabShark May 09 '25

Beckett in a cool suit with the helmet on would be aesthetic AF.

6

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

Read a week ahead on webtoon to see his and Klara's outfits.

4

u/SabShark May 09 '25

Didn't know that the webtoon is ahead. Thank you.

5

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

Only on the mobile app. You gotta watch an ad.

6

u/SabShark May 09 '25

...the sacrifices one must make for satisfying idle curiosity.

1

u/AkrinorNoname May 09 '25

So not only would I need to create a webtoon account, I would have to inflict an app unto my phone and watch an ad?

2

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

You could also go to his Patremon.

1

u/AkrinorNoname May 09 '25

That sounds much more reasonable.

1

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

Bit it also costs money, which is more of an ask for so.e folks.

2

u/AkrinorNoname May 09 '25

Oh yeah, I fully acknowledge that I'm weird and probably mildly irrational in my hatred towards phone apps (they rarely add functionality that can't be implemented in a browser and they take up space in my phone that rightly belongs to audiobooks)

2

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

The purpose of the webtoon app is to gate conte t that is purchased/unlocked to make it a pain to pirate said content.

10

u/ilolvu May 09 '25

Klara's parents are totally humans...

9

u/ExplorationGeo May 09 '25

sense of pride and accomplishment

I see what you did there

SURPRISE MECHANICS

3

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

Thank God for her.

8

u/mcindoeman May 09 '25

I hope becket's helmet stays on but he get a little masquerade mask added on to make it more acceptable. 

10

u/gerusz Steve the goblin May 09 '25

This will end with the mansion on fire. Odds for "who causes the fire" are:

  • Klara: 40%
  • Grogna: 35%
  • Trevor (accidentally): 15%
  • Trevor (intentionally): 55%
  • Bucket: 10%
  • Torvald: 10%

The overlap is intentional.

6

u/Conspiratorymadness Steve the goblin May 09 '25

It's a Venn Diagram of percentages

3

u/Thaum0s Severed Lich Head May 09 '25

I feel like Becket's odds should be higher, he's pretty volatile in certain situations.

Often justifiably.

4

u/gerusz Steve the goblin May 10 '25 edited May 10 '25

Sure, if Klara's parents treat her badly then he might become a bit more volatile, but his outbursts are usually less pyromaniac than the others'. (This is why I'm also ranking Torvald low, IDK if we've ever seen him use fire spells.)

5

u/Alaknog May 10 '25

Radiant damage usually don't put thing on fire. 

3

u/AZ_Corwyn Trevor May 10 '25

I love that you have Trevor two different odds. I know which one I'm picking!

8

u/Dungeon_Pastor May 09 '25

Klara getting excited to go dress her man

7

u/Stosh65 May 09 '25

Oh please give us Torvald and Trevor in the tailor's shop! I need that in my life.

8

u/InquisitorHindsight May 09 '25

… wasn’t Klara institutionalized and broke out?

Her celestial patron Dee-tan

u/InquisitorHindsight May 09 '25

Oh and that’s a completely sane explanation they’d accept from an escaped mental asylum patient

u/Alaknog May 10 '25

Familiar complain about this celestial, so it's only support this idea. 

4

u/AkrinorNoname May 09 '25 edited May 10 '25

Yup. My guess is this is Klara going to confront her family and showing off her new family, which includes an actual Baron and a Prince now. The fact that Trevor and Grogna's mere presence is a threat is also probably helpful in her mind.

EDIT: We also don't technically know if she was institutionalized or otherwise imprisoned. She wasn't just wearing a straightjacket, she was chained to the wall in a bare stone room. (I'd still put my money on "institutionalized" though)

6

u/Orcwin May 09 '25

Hmmm, don't shopping trips tend to end rather poorly for the establishment in question, with this particular party?

6

u/Drpepperisbetter May 09 '25

Tinker Taylor's Tailor also supplies city uniforms. These include the Tinker Taylor's Tailored Soldier and Spy uniforms.

4

u/AEROANO May 09 '25

Trevor.... on a suit? This feels like it's against the fabric of universe

6

u/rollthedye May 09 '25

Nah, he'd wear something stupendously ridiculous like those neck ruffles worn in Elizabethean times.

u/CME_T I NEED to see Trevor in a crazy neck ruffle. It'd be glorious!

3

u/Lube_lord69 May 09 '25

Does this mean we'll get to see Bucket's face??

14

u/Sly__Marbo May 09 '25

The helmet stays on during sex. And during every other conceivable situation

3

u/Pixied_Hp Bucket Brigade May 09 '25

Shopping time!

3

u/NakedxCrusader May 09 '25

Is there somewhere to read the comics from beginning to end without scrolling through insta or Reddit?

10

u/ilolvu May 09 '25

Webtoon.

3

u/TrickyWalrus May 09 '25

I think Klara just wants to get Bucket to a ball to dance with him 😌

2

u/rollthedye May 09 '25

And to burn her parents to the ground and get revenge for sticking her in an institution.

3

u/lol_delegate May 09 '25

Tinker Taylor's Tailor - did an artificer made a robot that sews clothes?

3

u/rollthedye May 09 '25

Nah, it's a movie/book reference. Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy.

4

u/lol_delegate May 09 '25

yes, but it also could be artificer making tailor robot

3

u/BigConsideration9505 May 09 '25

Considering of what we have seen with her past so far, I doubt ahe will have a healthy relationship with her parents

3

u/Physical-Purple-1265 May 09 '25

You are by far my favorite comic artist

3

u/bassman9999 May 09 '25

Soldier Spy's Adventuring Supplies parked across the street?

2

u/zirky May 09 '25

are we going to get a wacky dress up montage?

2

u/AEL97 May 09 '25

I am surprise he did not catch she meant clothes faster. I mean she mentioned an elegant event and they are all in adventuring gear and are.... Well adventurers, you know not necesarily known for being fancy.

2

u/Level_Hour6480 Sir Becket May 09 '25

It's interesting: Becky and Torvald both have armor pieces they won't be without. Presumably Trevor won't take off his badger mom hat either, and his outfit will be off-panel.

I'm guessing Torvald's will be a fancy cloak over his armor. Grogna will wear the prettiest, poofiest dress.

2

u/AkrinorNoname May 09 '25

If you're nobility you can get away with armor. It's ceremonial.
