#Roemont

GOD I need to stop listening to The Silt Verses right before bed

Not cause it's scary - I mean, it is scary in a way, in several ways, and frankly this episode (33) had its goddamn moments what the fuck - but because I get hype and want to come on here and verbally shake people until they understand.

I'm especially caught right now by the juxtaposition of the Roemont and Val scenes. Frankly, I'm really tired of people acting like how they're remembered is the important part of their lives, and it was INFURIATING to listen to Roemont wax poetic about all the things he's done for the Faith and how all of the work of his life will be undone if future editors of the Verses think Faulkner's story eclipses his, and cut him out as irrelevant. Like. Come the fuck on dude, the work of your life wasn't to do all these things, but rather to continue to receive acclaim for them centuries after you're dead? The complete lack of self-awareness or perspective is distasteful.

But then. The Last Word, the Retcon God. THIS is what it would be to have the work of your life erased. HE is the editor snipping events out of reality itself.

Roemont is whining about how someone he hates is gonna be more popular than him in a century or two, and up north Val is rewriting perceptions on the fly. Roemont is mad some people who never met him will forget that he gave the order to reclaim the Gulch, and up north Val is forcing a woman to forget that her husband and son ever existed, and because she said so, they actually didn't!

God I love this podcast.

Faulkner is going to drown in his simultaneous purity and cynicism I can't waiiit

Oooh is this flash flood a trawlerman intervention or a Faulkner flair, who's to tell... Ah, well, that answers that.

(There's a storm currently in Belgium and I'm on a rain-lashed train, the sound of the saints in the deluge is slightly disturbing under the circumstances)

Aw, the god must feed, he's not a foodie, he'll eat all types of fare, Roemont. I mean I recognise a cow on my plate, doesn't stop me from swallowing the steak

I love the Scottish katabasian. She's so badass. Whoop this milkteeth little prophet, you ace politician, yesss

Come, let’s get your coat. It’s raining out. [ID in alt]

Listen I'm such a sucker for how silt verses does its credits but this one genuinely made my mouth drop. Something something when the two characters competing for control over the narrative do the credits, each announcing a different chapter in their story

[woodlouseonastring]

the withermark nails for my faulkner cosplay :D

[humanteethmarksonhumanbone]

freaking almost choked on mac n cheese cause asdfhkl roemonts impression of faulkner LMAO omg the goofiest

“🤠🐴I am dying, High Katabasian. I can see my life’s true love, Sister Thurrocks 🌾🪕🤠”

[mostly-void-partially-song]

Faulkner, weren't you ever taught not to play with your food? (The parallels were too good not to put side by side)

[sybilius]

"Kill them with kindness" wrong. Condescending and ice cold faith-schism challenge, followed up with "why would we need you? Let's get your coat."

[dumbass-is-my-default]

I love that I usually listen to podcasts while driving because sometimes I’ll be taking a turn on my way home and think “oh hey this is where Roemont died :D”

[wiseabsol]

While I was hoping for a Polo and a hand grab at the very end, I'm also pretty sure Faulkner's story couldn't have ended any other way, because he was always going to keep spinning grand stories about himself, rather than facing the reality of the life in front of him.

[notbecauseofvictories]

you know, faulkner, there was a memorable moment when mason was monologuing smugly about how well and how cleverly he'd taken over the faith, steered the parish towards his desired ends. he believed he'd won, or at least that he could outpace anything that wanted to swallow him whole. look where that got him.

[babeluda]

OK I'm in a live blogging mood but I won't spam any further. Collected observations it is!

Roemont loved Mason. Evil high katabasian romance and heartbroken mad grief, calling it now.

I love the dual storytelling from both sides of the schism by Faulkner and Roemont

Truly vexed at the Carpenter erasure in the battle retelling, but that's because I would defend her to the death of course

Roemont, those are Hamlet levels of stressed out plans for murder. Grenshaw has stratospheric levels of patience behind his curtain

Oh I loved that confession. Game of Thrones like rhetorical fuckery

travel doodles part 2!!!! notes and info below if youre interested :]

🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🦞

picture 1: the cairn maiden!!! i drew her veil on whiteboard ONCE and im obsessed w shading thin drapery now. tbh im just obsessed w drapery

picture 2: headshots of faulkner, roemont, carpenter, and shrue that very much leave something to be desired, but im including them anyway

picture 3: faulkner comforting his father during ep 38 (best s3 episode)

picture 4: PYJAMA FAULKNER !!!! also during ep 38

picture 5: wallace, faulkner and thurrocks attempting to contact the endless drear in ep 22 (best s2 episode). again this leaves somethig to be desired but whooo cares maybe ill adapt it digitally

picture 6: very rough 2-panel comic of faulkner stealing carpenter's pancakes. there was gonna be a third panel where she stabs him with a fork but i fucked it up so badly i had to rip out the whole page. the text reads "couldnt care less" // "still waiting for his food"

picture 7: drawn most of the way through listening to season 3, and you can tell bc im just desparate for carpenter and faulkner to have a happy moment :( this is them going out for coffee together (the text shows that carp has a cappuccino and faulk has a hot chocolate)

picture 8: young em and carpenter playing in the white gull, trying not to fall in :] better times all round. this is another one i wanna digitize

picture 9: an older em and carpenter, where em is cleaning her scraped knee. his speech bubble reads "stop kicking your damn leg."

[downthegenderriver]

The audacity of Roemont accusing Faulkner of hubris when he demands that his own god's angels recognise him despite his achievements being largely administrative and not really his god's problem.

[cherrywhite]

There are so many parts in this ep I could talk at length about but I haven't seen anyone mention this and listen. Faulkner was soooo right for this
