I'm Going To Do It, I'll Out All The Brilliant, Profound Notes On My Half-assed, Tired And Pretentious

I'm going to do it, I'll out all the brilliant, profound notes on my half-assed, tired and pretentious ramble.

But first, a much-needed bit of context. I was vaguely aware of some of these, and I am guilty of focusing more on the voices myself. This is because I can do a bad drawing of an aspect of an amorphous bird man and it looks a lot better than if I mess up drawing a woman. I don't draw humans well.

I'm Going To Do It, I'll Out All The Brilliant, Profound Notes On My Half-assed, Tired And Pretentious

Some extra things in other reblogs, I can see them all and others should too, these perspectives have shaped my own:

By the way, I like the Shifting Mound more than any other character in the game. Have done for a while, I hadn't considered misogyny being a problem before this post.

Oh, for sure. That route is why I assign colours to the voices in my art. It's fun to imagine them with unique designs.

I shan't say directly what I think they'd look like properly, though, because I want to imply it.

Absolutely bizarre to me that the Princess doesn't get more love; she's amazing and charming in pretty much every iteration, and I wish I could shut those voices up half the time because they make things worse or take ages.

Do you guys think the reason so much fanart exists for the voices is not because of them being great characters (all the characters in STP are), but instead because we spend more time in our own heads than we ever will with a version of the princess?

I get it. They're inherently relatable because they reflect our previous actions through any route and set the tone of each chapter. They bicker with us and are able to see every option we take.

But, maybe the princesses are underrated. As in, she's always an outsider. How quickly would she be more beloved if the voices would shut up and let us do our stuff, or if they were seperate from us?

How then would we judge the impulsive contrarian, the weak-willed hero or the depressed cold? Would we appreciate paranoid were he more than a life support?

Ask yourself that, and ponder it awhile. Don't say it to anyone. Just an hour of your independent thoughts, clear of little voices.

Thanks.

what abled ppl think is a massive problem for disabled folks: 13 year old on the internet faking something

what is actually a massive problem for disabled folks: "well you don't LOOK disabled, are you sure you're not faking? I'm not giving you accommodations until you PROVE you're not faking. Please give me, a stranger, your medical info and explain your condition to me in detail so I know you're not faking and only then will I respect or take you seriously"

Might I add: the death ray from The Weakest Link teleported people instead, and was yellow.

I think it's time to go back to the end of the last episode. The last scene, you know thr whole "the pieces of earth were in front of them but they didn't see them".

It's because those bits and pieces don't exist yet when they go look outside. Both in a "the earthvhasnt been destroyed yet" but also in a "what hasn't appeared onscreen doesn't exist yet".

And I love the this episode add to this with the whole "but once the camera is gone it keeps existing".

I feel like a curator who displays old tat as antiques, given a chance to have a set of canopic jars on display for a short while because it's the only place to keep them while the van gets fixed.

‘I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be— all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!’ ‘No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.’

-- Terry Pratchett - Going Postal
