'Audible has been pushing the boat out lately with its dramatisations of literary classics, and this adaptation of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, marking 75 years since it was published, is a dark delight. Andrew Garfield leads a starry cast as Winston Smith, a worker at the Ministry of Truth trying to keep a lid on his frustrations with the Party, the ruling power that controls everything in the state of Oceania including what its citizens do, say and think. The omniscient Big Brother, voiced by Tom Hardy, keeps tabs on everyone via telescreens and brutally punishes dissenters, though this doesn’t stop Winston from purchasing a notebook to write down his illegal thoughts.

Cynthia Erivo plays Julia, who persuades Winston to take a trip out of the city and to the countryside where they indulge in some noisy alfresco fun that is best heard via the privacy of your own headphones. Meanwhile, Andrew Scott is quietly terrifying as O’Brien, an Inner Party member who tricks Winston into believing he is part of a revolutionary group called the Brotherhood. After exposing his wrongdoing, O’Brien spends months brainwashing Winston through acts of torture based on his private nightmares.

i’ve never read homestuck, so i don’t know if this is accurate or not, but i read up on it a little and this what i came up with:

winston alternates capitalisation in letters lIkE tHiS because he is a major pissbaby. he sometimes uses all caps or drags out letters at the end of a word if he is stressed (for example, “OH GOD RATSSSSS”). other than that, he’s pretty generic, because he’s boring.

julia speaks in all lowercase like this. she replaces all of her os with *s because she’s a star she gets past the censors :) (for example, “i l*ve you”). she never speaks in capitals ever because all of her emotion is limited to sarcasm and other general happiness that can be expressed in lowercase.

o’brien replaces all Ss with 2s and all Es with 5s (for example, “W5 will m55t in th5 plac5 with no darkne22”). he speaks in fully punctuated sentences and uses a wide range of vocabulary because he’s a fucking lawless bastard.

parsons replaces all of his ls with 1s and speaks constantly in all caps 1IKE THIS. THIS IS BECAUSE HE’S A VERY 1OUD PERSON. NO, HE CANNOT CHANGE THIS. NO, HE WI11 NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS IS PARSONS. 1ET’S MOVE ON.

charrington speaks in fully punctuated sentences like o’brien, but very often cuts off midsentence (for example, “Oranges and Le” “mons say the bells of St” “Clements”). uses lots of old and unusual vocabulary which nobody can understand without google.

syme speaks with every word capitalised Like This. it’s because he’s An Intellectual. like winston, he speaks in all caps when pressured, but unlike winston, it’s often accompanied with an erratic use of punctuation (for example, “ROOM ONE-OH-ONE?!?!?!?:?:??:!;!;&?;£;72)38)3£37262!?”).
