I'LL BE YOUR IDOL

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023)

yesterday was a funny day on twitter XD

Victim's murder was witnessed by her pet snake, whose tank was in the room. Unfortunately pet snake is incapable of describing the world around them except in terms of 'rocks' and 'meat', with their descriptions of individual forms of 'meat' focusing almost entirely on body temperature and smell.

(Solved when it turns out that their description of 'warm-cold meat with rock' was actually an attempt to describe a suspect with a prosthetic limb, which is pretty unnoticeable to a human, but looks dramatically different in infrared.)

Murder at a honey farm. Each witness managed to see about ~0.06% of the full crime, in order to get the full picture, you have to get them to swarm.

Victim was found several days after death, already crawling with maggots. Days into the investigation, protag begins a frantic search to find any surviving maggots/flies that were on the corpse, after realising that how the victim tasted would give vital information about the poison used.

Also there's at least one or two animals who actually do talk in full sentences and in terms humans can understand, and the reason behind this is never fully explained.

All cats in this universe talk in terms of 'mine/not-mine' and mainly focus on territory, mates and food, with the one exception of the main character's cat who is named Watson and knows how to use sarcasm.

Just wanted to give a reminder to folks that the TTRPG that my team and I spent a lot of time with @boguscheesecake writing, and creating exists. HELLWHALERS released November 30th, and you can still get physical editions through PlusOneExp at ttrpg.link/hellyeah and digital copies on the Brewist Tabletop Itch page. Right now we're having some hiccups with digital copies for physical orders, but I'll square those manually if anyone emails me about it at [email protected]. I realized I hadn't made an official Tumblr announcement, but please pick it up if you're into religious horror, nautical horror, Moby Dick, Paradise Lost, The Divine Comedy, Dredge, Mastodon's album Leviathan, or anything in those veins. HELLWHALERS is a token based TTRPG of nautical and Christian-religious horror. Play as damned whalers hunting a leviathan whale across hell's oceans for a chance to earn salvation. This book is visually stunning, and really fun for horror fans. Our team put a lot into this game, and we'd love it if you checked it out! There's also a great essay by @monsterfactoryfanfic about the game. Check out that essay here, and Aaron's other work as well!
