Angela Orosco Silent Hill 2
#in anticipation of the incoming remake#i tried my best to imitate the SH font but#silent hill#silent hill 2#angela#angela orosco#theme of laura (reprise)#i've said it before but in spite of its occasionally clunky diction i think silent hill 2 is an unusually emotionally intelligent game#for any year and still today but especially so for where gaming storytelling was in 2001#and for as many pitfalls a story like hers could've dipped into i think it particularly shines through with how they treated angela#not just choosing to depict victimhood as something that can be ugly and fractious and open quote ādifficultā but then this#actively rebuffing james for trying to be a white knight and dressing him down for it too#āi know you mean well and want to help but this isn't a simple problem"#āand it's really hurtful and a bit insulting that you act like you canā#the switching to a first person view turning it into an address to the player as well#maybe even old videogame tropes too#āthis isn't some princess in a castle kind of situation dude this is more serious than thatā#it felt like a very deliberate statement about the depth and severity of a trauma like this#and in doing so showing it so much respect#there is no quick easy solution to this and you won't get one#then angela just leaves#and you never see her again#i really don't think it was to imply that it consumed her i think it was to underline what was just said#this isn't your problem to fix#this is where your part in this story ends#there's some strength in that

somewhat kicking a bees nest here, but hear me out-
"homemade and handcrafted goods should cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars" is why attaching a monetary value to esoteric concepts like "time" and "skill" (and, you know, "a human being") is a bad system.
now, before the pitchforks come out, i am not bitching because i want a handcrafted quilt for $20. i do recognize that it would be unbelievably unfair to the quilter. but like...doesn't that sound obscene? that we live in a system where things that used to be pretty mundane are now only available to the upper class, or the creator just fucking dies? where in order for someone to make anything artistic, they need to be independently wealthy or ONLY cater to wealthy people?
again, i am not suggesting that artists should sell me their shit at a horrific loss. im not really suggesting any solution at all here, we're between a bit of a rock and a hard place. but it feels really inherently fucked up to me that the only options are "Artists taken advantage of" and "only rich people get art."
anyways, UBI huh
#like i see these arguments about rising videogame and movie and tv costs as well#and like. yes! i do think those artists deserve a living wage!#but also its grotesque that that means only rich people have access to art#a ubi wouldnt solve EVERYTHING but it sure would make literally everything easier you know?#i hate the idea of art as career#not because i dont think its important#but because i feel like its TOO important to attach to that fucking carrot/stick you know?#whoever controls the money can control the art and that's real stupid. even if it IS how its always been.#but taking it further than that. i guess i hate 'career' meaning 'reason you get to live' in the FIRST place#so i dont hate artists that make it their career. that's fine.#but i think a society that forces you to attach a dollar value to everything you care about in order to live is very sick

I assume you:
Like indie music
Need a therapist
Would play ukulele if given the option to learn any instrument
Like stickers
Kin Maria
Are blonde or brunette
Have never dyed your hair
Consume media you know has queer characters, and when they come around to it during said media go "omfg i had no clue they'd end up together..."
Don't like Knuckles (mainly cuz I've only seen you post him once. ever.)
Don't know that you're the first blog I ever followed on Tumblr
Saying you think I don't like knuckles is so sad.... He's just too cool for me.... (He's so hard to draw bc snoot)
#the kins Maria one made me happy idk why#the hair ones are the truth (brunette never dyed)#its so funny getting into media bc most i get into aren't explicitly queer#<- most media with queer aspects hooked me on different parts bc even tho I love rep. i don't actually care for canon romance#i did NOT know i was the first person you followed (jumpscare)/pos#i wouldn't want to play instruments because my hands get confused with things like that (also things like playing videogames)#i don't know what classifies as indie music lol#i would love stickers if i wasn't scared if using them lol (gets anxious about putting them on things BUT THEY'RE SO JOY)#for the therapist. i am currently in a time where im realizing stuff and. yeah. probably.#ask game#rednexxsaysthing#HII RED HAIIII

While im thinking about women characters being assigned their fandom roles the way the pikmin fandom outside of tumblr treats brittany is fucking horrible. Whats wrong with you people its a children's videogame character.
#i take a stroll into a yt comment section and its like getting fucking flashbanged. the amount of vitriol. god.#idk. suuper weird that louie is just ohhh my poor little meow meow meanwhile brittany#a character with nearly the exact same attitude (self serving) the exact same motives (food)#whos only major difference being that she talks more often (and is a women. hmm.) is treated like the fucking devil#bit funny considering LOUIE is the one that causes 90% of the series conflict but i guess brittany's downright evil. whatever u say#just.#'we need more mean women!' you people cant even handle children's videogame character brittany pikmin#like come on. its a kids game she is disney sitcom bully levels of mean AT WORST. its not that deep#and you know damn well if louie spoke more often hed be saying the same shit. you know he's an ass. look me in the eyes and tell me he isnt

How you'd rewrite Dishonored death of the outsider if it was fully fledged game with 10 missions? (like Dishonored or Dishonored 2)
Oooh!! Enrichment in my enclosure - thank you for asking! Thinking about a total rewrite was a great exercise. Fair disclaimer: I havenāt read the books & their canon-status canāt hurt me. To me, the Dishonored games stand out due to their immsim design philosophy, and thinking about some of the industry reasons for DotOās departure from that, if I could make a standalone game with ~ten levels I would, but with the same budget Iād also happily make two DLCs made slowly over a longer timeframe with greater attention to detail.
Game structure
Finding Daud // Billieās past
The fate of the Outsider // Billieās future
Game story
Setting & Characters
Billie: What has Billie been doing since sheās returned to Serkonos? Knowing the Dreadful Wale will sink, sheās sold it for scrap & has set up an agency in Lower Aventa. Sheās something of a detective/odd-jobs man (& assassin when it suits her). Business is booming, life is good. I think a long-running implication that she's becoming Daud in some ways would make for an interesting subplot.
Karnaca: a city that unfolds. In the first levels, Billie feels like a forgotten woman, a ghost slipped through the cracks, but as levels progress there are hints & references to how her past actions have affected others & shaped the city
Alignments: Witches, gangs, religion, industry; missions for clients who canāt necessarily pay their way. Missions that allow the player to explore/understand Karnaca in a deeper way.
Daud: Billie is unsure if Daud again will bring her any closure. Sheās been thinking of him since her time with Emily, and his name keeps popping up.
Deirdre: the charm is a more functional heart, similar to Jessamine, as well as her own character design. Perhaps she doesnāt see Deirdre until she chooses the powers, or until sheās in the void (see next point)
First arc: Finding Daud // Billieās past
Powers: the Outsider offers Billie powers even though her life is finally, actually good, so sheās pissed off. A choice - she can take them, or play no powers mode.
Breanna Ashworth is this arcās villain - she wants Delilah back, and knows that Daud has banished her before, wants to know how he did it. Grief & desperation has changed her, and she no longer has her high society veneer. The remnants of the Karnaca coven, now powerless, have stolen from the Overseers to arm themselves to the teeth, and to neutralise Daudās powers, in addition to black bonecharms.
Billieās in a race against time against Breanna to find Daud, but by the last level it becomes clear that Breanna *has* found Daud, and has been torturing him for information about the void. Her dynamic with Billie is complicated by their past.
I think betrayal would be an interesting theme, so maybe one of the levels gives you the option to ally yourself with Breanna under false pretences.
Second arc: choosing the fate of the Outsider // Billieās future
Delilah is the core villain, but sheās obsessed with killing the Outsider so she can take his place, having been violently ripped from her perfect world in her own painting by Breanna (who meant well), & knowing the Empire doesnāt hold her interest... but a perfectly mouldable void & infinite power does take her fancy.
As remorseful Daud is obsessing about preventing Delilah from taking power, Billieās doing some detective work and learns more about the Outsider (heās not showing up and monologuing - sheās finding this out herself. A level idea could be a raid on a āhauntedā houses where the void is thin)
Delilah succeeds in taking the Outsider's place, leaving the Outsider dead or mortal depending on if you are able to save him. Delilah has split her soul from herself before and sheās very much clever enough to learn the Outsiderās name to render him mortal.
Daud knows heās dying, though, and it might be an ultimate sacrifice to save both Billieās life, and the Outsiderās.
So during the final battle, thereās an option to make Daud the Outsider, because Daud wants Billie and the Outsider to have a shot at a normal life, and his life was forfeit in his own mindā¦
ā¦ or, reluctantly accepting the Outsiderās help, Billie finds a way to cut the voidās access to the world, rendering Delilah an all powerful god over a dead & silent world.
Because of the past/present focus of this you could even have levels set in the past - missions with Billie & Daud. Perhaps Billie as POV character, and Daud dropping by the way that Billie did in Knife of Dunwall. Thatād be neat.
A heap of ideas here, hope there was something you liked :)
#dishonored#death of the outsider#daud#delilah copperspoon#billie lurk#the outsider#i dont know why you asked me this but i love that you did. thank you anon!#i wanted to stick to the topline ideas rather than dig into what the levels could look like#and you'll notice i mostly avoided the things introduced in doto. ie plot points & new characters#because none of them really pass the fandom test to me. i just dont see anyone obsessed with things from that game#and i could write an entire separate essay about cults in videogames & morality#i want billie's choices & life to have felt like it has meaning and made a difference#and i wanted the game to feel like it was more about billie even if its also about power & the fate of the world#and though i dont love where they went with the outsider & daud in the game. i do love having really high stakes

"woah i can't believe you've read blue sky!"
hoho. my dear followers. i have done more than read it. do you have any idea what you are dealing with.
#portal#blue sky#not art#there are two fanfic authors works i would want printed. waffles is one and i did it.#these are levels of tism you cannot even BEGIN to fathom. this book was my Personality in high school.#i mean so was portal in general but 9 years later and I've still not read a better fanfic#i've read some banger fics but blue sky remains its own level#this thing is like two inches thick. it has art in it. its beautiful. i could kill someone with it though. phonebook#alarmingly some people don't even know i like portal which is really funny#because my youtube has a bunch of crappy portal fan animations and my sona's orange hoodie is an Aperture hoodie#but i never draw myself from behind. so. actually can't blame you dhjbfjhdsfghj#my most popular video has over a million views because i edited glados into a cafeteria as a school project#i was Not Normal about portal or blue sky. not even remotely#i LOVE portal its my FAVORITE videogame#IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ME SINCE MY CRAPPY PORTAL FANART DAYS YOU ARE A REAL ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!

idk if this is a good prompt but put doomguy in myhouse.wad I think he would find it enriching
Right, so I've been mulling on this one for a little bit now, n I'm not opposed to writing something for you, I'm just not... entirely sure what to write? Because the thing is, myhouse.wad doesn't actually really have anything to do with Doom as a story. Sure, Doom is important in that it's the vessel through which the story is told and one of the connections between the narrator and his dead companion. But as far as Doom itself goes, and the story about a man who was too angry/stupid to die, fighting demons and saving earth, none of that is at all relevant to myhouse.wad and its story. For all intents and purposes, Doomguy isn't actually a character in myhouse.wad. So I'm not really sure how exactly to fit him in there.
#pikspeak#bc like. ok so if u say write dg as if he is actually the character in myhouse.wad#then the problem is that theres a pretty huge meta element to myhouse.wad and having some of the outside context- even just the context tha#its supposed to be the creator's dead friend's childhood home- is important. youre not MEANT to 'immerse' yourself in it or pretend you are#the protag. part of the impact comes from knowing youre just an observer and this is just a videogame on your computer.#writing dg as a character inside myhouse.wad would rob it of a lot of context and therefore impactfulness. hed just be walking around an#old house looking at things that have no meaning to him.#so ok then not dg as the protag of myhouse.wad but what about just like.. him in the funky liminal space of myhouse.wad? the non-euclidean#reality breaking shifting house of leaves place of myhouse.wad? i *could* do something like that if thats what youre looking for#but then considering this is the character whose reaction to finding himself in literal hell was to go 'hey??? this is stupid???? anyway im#gonna kill everything here' he probably wouldnt be too exceptionally ruffled by finding himself in a sorta funky reality breaking space.#hed probably still just go 'oh weird. funky. anyway back to killing demons.' and that would be it. which yeah i CAN write if its what u wan#it just. yknow. doesnt quite seem like the right tone? just kinda flat by comparison#i have considered doing things in the right tone before. since it is also canon that on his way back to hell dg has to run through the#burned out ruins of his own hometown. something similar to the visiting an old place thats been twisted by time and grief and coming to#terms with its loss or something to that effect#but. if im being honest i dont know that i have the writing skill to pull that off well much less as a short fic for a prompt response#uhhh anyway where was i going with this.#im happy to write something for you; possibly even something myhouse.wad related if you want!! im just not sure how to do that hdfbhdj...#anyway sorry for letting this one sit for so long without an answer. have another fic prompt where the fic is getting a little longer than#anticipated n combining that with rotating this to try n figure out what i could write for it...#guess time got away from me a little bit. sorry about that!

if you havent heard, the Epic Mickey remake is not produced by Disney! its produced and distributed by THQ. "Disney" Epic Mickey is just the name of the game because thats what the original was called
guys... disney is still making money out of this game even if they aren't the ones producing it, come on
#this is f/naf all over again. that one game that came out and everyone was like#guys its okay scott isn't making this one!'#you do know he's still getting money from it right. he owns the franchise#i promise you a lot of the money from a videogame starring mickey mouse and multiple disney characters will go to disney#you can be excited for this game but do not support it#no matter how you look at it you are supporting disney

You HAVE to love the moment after your phone dies and you are left hunched over the screen, your eyes deprived of the blue light to which they have grown accustomed, your mind deprived of the distraction from the horrors of your reality, to behold your own image (reverse Narcissus) in all its double-chinned, acne-scarred, chocolate-stained and cheeto-dusted glory, and horrified by who you have become, and you are full of guilt and (remorse) exhaustion, and you are (entirely, devastatingly) alone, and you blink, and you get up, and you (cry) (look in the mirror?) go plug in your phone and get some more cheetos
No, really, you have to love it. It's the law.
#i dont know what compelled me to write this#but#to be clear#this isnt coming from the old mindset of āall technology is bad and everyone who uses social media is dumbā#because that isnt true and never has been#this is coming from somebody with the kind of mild screen addiction that most people have#who generally enjoys being creative and using entertainment platforms and interacting with people online#but who is also somewhat frustrated with my relationship with my phone#and very frustrated by the way social media and videogames and screens in general are thought of and talked about in the world#screen addiction#phone addiction#relatable#is this relatable?#does anyone feel like this?#im whispering into the void#self awareness#i dont know#i have so much work to do#and my executives are dysfunctioning#i am having a Bad Go of it#its just#its been quite a month#you know?#maybe ill make a ventpost#later tho#all ye who find my ramblings here#have a good day#or night#or else

if ryuji got to live and hang out with the morning glory kids long enough i know one of them would've introduced him to the concept of fursonas and scalies and he'd go fucking nuts
#snap chats#i should be drawing my goofy mothers day post but im too busy thinking of ryuji#he loved his mama i think its fair...#ryuji goda my loved i miss you#anyway why do i think he'd hang out with the morning glory kids Dawg I Dont Know let him hang#give him like two weeks vacation from takoyaki making and just visit kiryu and co#uncle ryuji in town baby who wants to hang from his biceps. who wants to shoot watermelons with his arm#uncle ryooj...#ive totally fucking. derailed from the og of this post#i think he should get a dragon persona#i dont mean Kohryu haha gottem#but he should sit down on the floor with the kids and draw some epic dragon in crayon#and then kiryu walks in like :? and ryuji just shows off his fuckin dragon and kiryus like Woah... thats cool.... i wanna make one...#and now theyre all making fursonas in the living room and its great. 10/10 yokoyama how much money do you need to make it happen#is this a spiritual sequel to my post about ichi meeting the kids and playing videogames with them... it should be..
