It’s Hero.ROM!  Again!

So this project has undergone a bit of a shift.  In the interest of making this project manageable, Hero.ROM is going to become an episodic series!  And so, I’ve retooled the initial offering into the standalone first episode, Wrath of the Gang Queen.   There have been a few upgrades and changes if you played it before, but if you haven’t, give it a go!

Stop scrolling. There we go. Ahem. This blog is called Tryptch Trope and I am your host Josane. My name is not pronounced the way it looks, rather it rhymes with a popular brand of bottled water. Bottled water is a funny thing because it's a billion-dollar industry built on something that literally falls from the sky.

So now you know that I have a weird name, my mind tends to wander, and that I appreciate irony.

I created this blog to challenge myself to stay engaged with the things that interest me. A triptych is a painting or relief encompassing three panels hinged together side by side. They were all the rage in the Middle Ages when you couldn't scroll down or swipe right to see something different. My favorite triptych is this one by Hieronymus Bosch called The Garden of Earthly Delights.

Triptychs allow the artist to convey multiple narratives at once and unify them through the use of stylistic or symbolic motifs. In the case of Earthly Delights you could say that the unifying motifs are naked white people and/or a general lack of fucks given about realism.

A trope is a significant or recurring theme. This blog is my triptych in that I generally be sharing work and ideas pertaining to literature, electronic music, and video games because those are the three things I like enough to write about consistently for no money. The trope unifying the triptych will be women as the creators and/or subjects of what I write about. Count on me to be drawn to stuff that is witchy, weird, and imaginative.

There you have it. Tryptych Trope. Yeah there's a y in place of an i. Get over it.

By the way, the other trope of this blog will be cats failing.

Thank you for reading, following, and sharing! Stay tuned from some reviews of some pretty sweet independent electronic music, twine games you need be playing, and whatever else I feel like posting. You can also find me on Twitter @TryptchTrope.
