VOIHON storytime thread

I planned to do this on Sunday, but since all chapters are now fully recovered thanks to user in the last thread, let's do it now.

>What the fuck is this?
Some user discovered a video called EmeriTheLamb youtube.com/watch?v=0hv53XBDDyc
Its themes of purity and sheep waifu have greatly resonated with Yas Forums audience.
Upon further research a webcomic by the same author was discovered, which is similarly bizarre and eventually ties to the story of the video.

However just as it started getting attention, shortly after chapter 3 got posted the author has nuked the entire comic from the interwebs. He says he decided to rewrite it so that it has more videos to compliment the comic.
I managed to recover most of the comic from the browser cache, but some of the pages were missing. However another user has uploaded chapters 1 and 3, and I have the entire chapter 2 so now we have the whole thing.

So let's started. I might add some meta-commentary under spoiler tags, don't read it if you don't want to.

Previous discussion: Link to the comic for when it gets revived: tapas.io/series/Voihon

Holy based! I was waiting for this!

Chapter 1

Kuklovek is a portmanteau in Russian of the words "kukla" (doll) and "chelovek" (human).

The cypher doesn't seem to be easily decipherable right now. There are 23 known symbols and the frequencies don't seem to match the English language. The author possibly has his own conlang as evidenced by the caption of EmeriTheLamb video.

Is the writer a Slav? I know Russian and Ukrainian fluently and can be on hand for explaining any weird cultural elements.

Possibly, or maybe going for that Eastern Europe Sci-Fi aesthetic (Stanislaw Lem, Strugatsky brothers etc.)

The art style is very stunning and evocative. It makes me nostalgic.

I find the concept of "diametric bed" to be quite amusing. Love how it measures her diameter.

Huh, so she was a ghost? Did she die already?

Hex color codes seem to be important for some reason.

Man, that's quite the, uh, depiction of god. The art in this is extremely striking.

Wonder what's up with the font changes.

Oh shit!

So there's a fear of death?

Was she hallucinating a monster? Is the blue voice that monster?

holy fuck

So, Bluevoice used to look like something and not just being a voice. Why did they call him Bluevoice then?

Attached: ch01-24.png (940x1320, 531.62K)

This is not going the direction I expect at all.

So Bluevoice can control her without her knowing.

Thank you. I'm at work and couldn't download the chapters on my computer so I really appreciate this.

Forgot to mention when it first appeared, but the characters use honorifics when addressing each other. So the doll's name is actually Teff(ina). Mei is a relationship between her and Bluevoice.

End of chapter 1. Chapter 2 after a short break.

What does she mean by asleep here?

I'm very intrigued.

Well, her possibly dark past of "suffering" was hinted at, so maybe she's afraid of the things that killed her in the past life/lives or something. Or she's just a little girl who's afraid of monsters.
I don't think Bluevoice can control her, just speak to and through her.
Dolls need to sleep too. For some reason.

Oddly unsettling. The overly proper speech, there's no real nuance to anything. I don't know if it's a result of the author's native language not being English or if it's just a narrative choice to sell how sterile this entire setting is. Either way, it has me invested in seeing where the fuck this goes.

Also, seems the guy put up a new video just an hour or two ago.

No, I mean, when did the 10 years pass? Prior to ch1?

Chapter 2. Get ready for some heavy lore dump.

Funny how some people assumed this illustration is a fanart in an earlier thread. Nope, this is canon.

Had to stop storytiming to watch this. The video title says Pashusta in cyrillic. It's some sort of holy figure in the comic, I don't think it's any of the characters in the video.

Continuing...

Voi is another honorific. Probably just polite or something.

Cool car.

Attached: ch02-04.png (940x1320, 594.61K)

Hmmm. I'm very curious.

Pashvoi seems to be a greeting. Related to Pashusta, no doubt.

RIP diametric bed. We'll never know what happened to it.

He looks an awful lot like that older guy the sheep in the video was obsessed with.

Attached: ch02-07.png (940x1320, 596.38K)

Same name, Yoso.

You might also notice he has the same name...

Here comes the origin story.

:'(

What does it mean to be sentient and have dances but be unable to think?

So they still had the same fucking houses back then. I guess the technology didn't advance that much. I wonder what the symbol means too. The Horny Ram has it inverted apparently.
