what was once a 250 frame animation is now 930 im starting to slightly regret my choices

[pavlov-sdog]

Rip Bell you would’ve loved antipsychotics and rehab

[pavlov-sdog]

I may have watched severance

My two favorite things are combining my interests and drawing over things. Sue me. Anyways am I crazy or is Adler less horrible in Bell’s “memory” (for the 30 seconds we see him that is)

[pavlov-sdog]

an argument could be made that today (February 23rd) is Bell’s birthday, In fact i am making that Argument, Everyone wish Bell a happy birthday they deserve one too 🎉🎉

[pavlov-sdog]

If you think about it Bell is basically Adlers oc/self insert

[pavlov-sdog]

Adler the kinda guy who either hates his birthday or just does not care at all EXCEPT when it benefits him to either mock someone or get his way somehow

[pavlov-sdog]

I hope that russell t. adler has a horrible birthday

[pavlov-sdog]

my guy did not have luck on their side

[pavlov-sdog]

Ashes to Ashes i think

[pavlov-sdog]

Are your hands clean, Bell?

Just saw your post about Demikhov’s dog as a Bell metaphor and I’d love to hear more if you’re up for it

Of course! Bear with me here as im not the best at explaining things, 

In short, the comparison is mostly that Bell as we know them is basically a separate person to whoever they used to be. A manufactured person, but a person nonetheless who was forcefully sewn onto their old self with little to no regard for quality of life. Whoever Bell used to be seems to still be there in some capacity, basically forced into being a host for the new addition. 

Also adding onto comparison the longest living of the two headed dogs (i believe there was around 24 different tries?) lived about a month. Bell themself lived only about a month (estimated a bit if we take off time from when they were captured considering the team probably didn’t result to MKUltra straight away and it probably took a minute for it to really take hold)

Then of course theres also the fact that the experiment was done on dogs and as we know this fandom loves to compare Bell to a dog for many many reasons

[pavlov-sdog]

A lot of people reference Pavlov and his conditioning experiment in relation to Bell for obvious reasons (myself included)

however would you guys see my vision if i brought Demikhov and his two headed dog experiment to the table

[pavlov-sdog]

You know, it's very possible that Bell could've had some degree brain damage from MK-ULTRA. Many of the real world victims of these experiments suffered brain damage that affected their memory or motor skills as we know from a spate of lawsuits in the US and Canada. Ultimately we'll never know the true extent to which mk ultra impacted Bell's brain as Bell didn't live long enough.

I love me a Bell lives AU where rather than going on a healing journey after solovetsky and living basically happily ever after, they instead live in absolute torment. i NEED more people to delve into Bells mental state post game events more than just them having some minor nightmares and amnesia. especially right after solovetsky, i want so badly to see the immediate pain and crisis they wouldve been thrown into.

i need less of Bell living somewhat happily and more anguish

Bell after falling from the helicopter in Break on Through for the 17th time probably

To have a face is to have personhood. So by making Bell wear a balaclava, Bell's personhood and identity is denied.

Bell's balaclava therefore serves two purposes. In universe it serves both as a tool to sever the connection between Bell and their former identity and to dehumanize them to the rest of the safe house crew. Getting attached to Bell is dangerous and it's easy to get attached to something with a face. By removing Bell's face from the equation with the Balaclava it becomes easier for Park and Adler to avoid becoming attached to Bell.

Out of universe it allows the player to imagine however they want Bell to look like without having to add actual character model customization to the game.
