Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Chimneyspeak is a webcomic by Jack Cayless taking place in America and England during the late 19th century. It focuses mostly on Elgie Piddlebottom, a dwarf enforcer; Alice McKenzie, madam of a prostitution ring with a complicated relationship with Elgie; and Chelsea Grinn, a completely insane serial killer out for Elgie's blood.The comic has four lengthy chapters, and concluded on October 2, 2013. Cayless took the comic's website down in early 2014, citing the cost of maintaining it, but mentioned that a PDF version might be made available at some point in the future. A sequel to Chimneyspeak was mentioned as being in the works but it's not certain if this is still the case. A prequel involving Jack the Ripper and featuring Elgie and Alice near the start of their relationship was reported to be in the development stage. Cayless originally put character designs for the new seriesnote most of which are very NSFW and some early pages on his Tumblr, but has since created a separate Tumblr devoted to its development.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The story frequently features graphic violence (edging into Gorn at times), nudity, and sex scenes. While the comic's website was active, Cayless also provided a number of side stories which expanded on the background of the setting, which cost a modest fee. These side stories also frequently featured outright pornographic content, which the actual comic never crossed into.Mr. Cayless's other webcomic, Redd also disappeared from the Web some time in 2015 though Cayless's personal tumblr is still active. Both comics may be found by searching for bumrushcomics.com at archive sites. Some ChimneySpeak-related material remains on the artist's Deviant Art account as well. | |

Eye Color Change: Chelsea Grinn's eyes change colors depending on which of her personalities is in control. When she gets red rings around her pupils, everyone around her tends to die horribly. | |

| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_423f5a19 | comment |
Killed Offscreen: Chelsea (depending on how you interpret what happened to her during the climactic swordfight) and her parents, based on the fallout from strip 44 and strips 54 and 55 of ch.4. The mask-wearing man is wearing Mr. Grinn's coat and carrying his sword, and cooks up a plot to squat in the Grinn's mansion. His cohorts also mention doing a good job with the graves. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_4efc4fae | comment |
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Chelsea's first scar actually falls into the "cute but warlike" top-of-page example on the trope page, and it's solidly within the good scars rage on her "good" mental construct. The rest of her scars, on the other hand, especially the cheek scars that never healed right... | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Why did Chelsea slaughter her way through England, find her way to America, and start killing her way through town (twice), racking up enough wounds that she has more scar tissue than non? Elgie ran past her one night and accidentally tripped her, causing her to fall and get a small scar on her face. She went ballistic. Suka had a pretty good one as well after Alice's husband left her. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Chelsea Grinn sports a Glasgow Grin, also known as a "Chelsea smile". "Suka" means "bitch" in Russian (in both the "dog" and "not-nice-behavior" senses), and also something like "traitor" or "informer" in Russian prison-speak. Alice kills Suka and the comic ends without revealing if the latter is meaningful. No word yet on whether or not the prequel will go into this. | |

Fanservice: Suka and Alice get a lot of screen time in various stages of undress. Alice even spends most of her time in the last part of ch. 4 wearing nothing but a shirt tied around her waist. The Working Girls are frequently shown plying their trade. Chelsea gets her fair share as well, but is more Fan Disservice because of her scars. | |

Made of Iron | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: Elgie is 2 feet tall, and shrugged off having a horse thrown at him and being kicked and thrown around by Chelsea. He also survived Suka gut-shooting him, although it was touch-and-go for a while. Chelsea's survived being impaled and having multiple point blank gunshots to the chest and torso. The current theory is that her body overproduces adrenaline constantly (so much so that her usual low point is where most people are when they're on an adrenaline high). That said, she doesn't survive the Impaled with Extreme Prejudice instance above, since it appears to go through her heart. | |

Scars are Forever | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_ad94c7a0 | comment |
Scars Are Forever: All of Chelsea's scars, but most importantly the first one. Justified: she's a noblewoman, and delicate skin scars very easily. Elgie ends up with a couple of impressive facial scars (especially the slash through his eye), and the scar on his belly from being shot. | |

Knife Nut: Elgie. It backfires a little when he brought a gun, but started the fight by throwing a knife. He's not used to using guns, you see. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_c93a6560 | comment |
Chelsea's survived being impaled and having multiple point blank gunshots to the chest and torso. The current theory is that her body overproduces adrenaline constantly (so much so that her usual low point is where most people are when they're on an adrenaline high). That said, she doesn't survive the Impaled with Extreme Prejudice instance above, since it appears to go through her heart. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: A climactic example in ch.4, when Chelsea is (apparently) killed by the very sword used to kill Angus only a few panels earlier, thanks to some very unfortunate position shifts and Angus not having the good grace to fall down immediately after being impaled. | |

Ignore the Fanservice | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_e313bcdc | comment |
Ignore the Fanservice: This comes up both in the original comic and the prequel. Elgie's been around Alice and the Working Girls so much that nothing about their attire (or lack thereof) or what they do in their "work" fazes him, and he appears to be similarly unmoved by seeing Chelsea in the altogether. | |

Karmic Jackpot | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_e3a7d2e6 | comment |
Karmic Jackpot: Chelsea spares an entire group of people in the basement of a bar that she had planned to slaughter gleefully, all because she recognizes one man there who had given her a single genuine compliment six years earlier. And yet she still blows a guy's head off for telling her what she wanted to know (just because some other guy vowed to kill him once they got out). | |

Determinator | |
| Chimneyspeak (Webcomic) / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: Chelsea's murderous insanity (more specifically, the personality that embodies that insanity) drives her to get up and keep going, no matter how badly she's hurt. It has been theorized that her body massively overproduces adrenaline, allowing her to ignore the crippling effects of the injuries she's sustained. | |

Mercy Kill: Chelsea to Heinrich, after he tells her where Elgie is. Alice's pet American tells Heinrich "You're a dead man", by which he probably meant a brutal murder. Chelsea kisses Heinrich on the forehead and shoots him in the base of the skull, through the mouth. | |

Platonic Life-Partners: Alice and Elgie have known each other since Alice was a teenager and, despite the bad blood that crops up between them over the course of the comic, are about as intimate as a man and woman can be without actually being...intimate. Eventually subverted; at the very end of the comic they're anything but platonic. | |
