I know it was a joke, but hearing Barry repeat “my name is Barry Bluejeans” after every sentence while relistening feels less like a dm mocking a name and more like a man fighting to remember his own name

I’m thinking about the stolen century again and it’s so incredible the way they adjust the stakes like. The Big Bad is getting dealt with in present time so like narratively we have to step away from that, and it could easily have felt like nothing in the century mattered, but a reset *once per year* and someone has to live for it to work keeps the stakes within the century so perfectly balanced…. Like it’s still sad and stressful when they die!! And also you’ve opened up a situation where YOUR PCs CAN DIE! MORE THAN ONCE. And it’s impactful every time!! Fucking wild, really skillful storytelling.
From August 2022.
Wanted to do more with this piece/concept, but haven’t gotten around to it. Still really like it tho so enjoy, all you sad Blupjeaners (me) <3

"there's something about the dying that feels familiar" fucking unbelievably metal thing to be told. you die and you could swear you've been here before. the last thing you feel before your breath leaves your body is intense deja vu. you've never died before but somehow you know how this goes. you have an uncanny feeling being dead is a temporary gig for you, but you have no idea what gives you that impression. and then you're alive again. and you remember dying. and all you remember is that there was something about it that felt familiar.

Lucretia is the most fun character in the world because she is set up exactly like the guy who has been a villain all along, but instead the big reveal is that she's your best friend. And she loves you and thinks you're hilarious.
can't access the wiki for taz on my phone for some reason but. i was looking at merles page and it was so fucking funny because there was a section about how he died each time that happened and the list was just
killed by john
killed by john
killed by john
killed by john
killed by john (more detail on why that was)
turned into a rock that one time
Vegetarian Merle Highchurch is the most obvious hc, but the truest one is, I think, someone seeing him eat steak like
'Aren't you a panite??'
'?--OH this. Yeah, I'm a meatavore. Only eat plants recreationally:D'
'What'
':D'
between eskew and glottage which would you personally prefer to live in
no thank you
I'm sorry but I'd be so good at eskew. What's that down that alley? I'm takeing a diffrent alley. It's down every alley? Just don't look at it. Make your death narratively unsatisfying
If you do this, I have it on good authority that the city of Eskew pokes you tentatively a couple of times, says "aw man" in a put-out voice, and then lumbers off, bored and disappointed
Is there any reason why your horror is wet (rain in eskew, evil river god, saltwater and hands dripping from a throat) or is it just coincidence? Or being British, i guess that could be the reason as well, given how much it rains there
When I was a small child I had a near-drowning experience (no fratricide involved, I was pottering about and fell backwards into a pond) and I'll always remember the strange comfort and eerie wonder of that moment - the world of the living becoming a small, distorted circle of golden light, surrounded by reed-tendrils and a greater darkness and incomprehensible noise rising up on all sides around me.
But on the other hand - even in your question, I think you spell out the thematic richness and complexity of water as a horror element. Rain as a soundtrack for the monotony and relentlessness of depression in Eskew. Rivers as symbolic of natural cycles, human exploitation, offerings and takings. The ocean as the embodiment of vast and uncaring cosmic horror, but also a lure for the adventurous amidst the very human desire to try and find ourselves in the unknown. Bogs and marshlands as devourers and preservers, lurking wounds of the past. Flooding as the shattering of our social and architectural boundaries. Water is reflection and abyss, lifegiver and source and ending.
Wet horror fucking rocks.

the aromantic love between Carpenter and Faulkner delights me. so much of what they do draws on classic tragic romance, but because they declare their relationship as familial, it refuses to turn romantic.
when Faulkner thinks Carpenter is dead and quickly makes a plan to kill himself, that's Romeo holding the poison at Juliet's grave. when Faulkner looks up at (a hallucination of) Carpenter's back as she walks away from him, it's an inversion of Orpheus and Eurydice. Faulkner dies in water and Carpenter is shot under a willow tree - the two things present at the death of Ophelia. Paige even compares them to bickering parents while she's kidnapped, not to mention the symbolism between Faulkner and the Promised Bride - the white dress on the bed and his white gown, the dead lover killed in battle in Shrue's retelling and him believing Carpenter died in combat multiple times - it's romance all the way down.
even the things they say could be seen as romantic - "it's different if it's you", "hopelessly and helplessly entangled", the whole scene in season one where they confess that they'd thought about killing the other - if they were any other duo of characters they would be prime enemies to lovers material.
and yet, because it's them, it never turns to romance. that is not the term for the love they feel. Faulkner identified that he wanted Carpenter to be his sister, and she reciprocated. it was a genuine love confession, but one devoid of romance. this is a mutual relationship of sibling love, and the intent of that renders any romantic coding null.
and i love it so much. i know what it's like to be deeply affectionate toward someone, behaving in a seemingly romantic way around them, when my feelings are completely platonic and will never turn to romance. and i see that reflected in these characters. Carpenter can talk about how they're fully entangled in each other, never to be separated, and Faulkner can put on his display of devotion to her, and it will never be romantic because it's them. and i feel that deeply in my soul.
"My currents are kind, and your flesh is pliant. I will make you something that cannot be bound."
a graven image, which i have neglected to post until now, produced hastily in a fit of madness for @zineoftideandflesh
carpenter and faulkner as siblings who just met did not grow up together do not share a guardian and are not genetically related WORKED because their entire storyline was based around how fucking miserable it is to have someone who's family and who nonetheless is so fundamentally opposed to you and who is so much like you and yet so different from you that it's torture. they were a chosen family that really wanted to Unchoose each other and yet couldn't fucking stop themselves and that is SOOOOO COMPELLING. silt verses did found brother/sister right. & no one is ever going to do it that right again, so. we don't need to try. No More Found Siblings .
been considering parallels between paige and faulkner for the last few episodes of tsv i've been listening to. both ending up in positions of leadership that makes them miserable, as prophets of a god they've grown to hate. their relationships with their fathers seem thematically similar, both unexpectedly running into theirs when reatreating to their old homes, something about the responsibility they wish would be taken for the things that happened in their childhoods, something about lack of real closure. transgender 👍
The silt verses as illuminated manuscripts:
High Prophet Faulkner.
Carpenter’s Sacrifice at Bellwethers, as recounted in The Silt Verses: Book of Faulkner.
Carpenter in service to the Cairnemaiden.

i feel like a lot of people see it as a flaw in storytelling when an actor's personality bleeds into or eclipses the typical characterization of their character but personally i think one of the funniest things abt taako adventurezone is that he is sometimes temporarily possessed by a deeply socially anxious nearing middle aged suburban father . its a core component of the character that i feel cannot be ignored
Separate Paths A last-minute change before the Unknowing begins... A huge, huge thanks for @hemi-demi for looking through the text for me this time as well <3
