hiiiii its been a while anywaysssss ive decided to take a crack solving trudys language again-

heres the canon symbols + a strong guess on M given the page context

H has me going fucking insane. its one of the canon letters in the story. and then yugo posted a singular trudy phrase which i have decoded below and. the H is different. but nothing else fits im going crazyyy. edit: i forgot theres capital letters. i remembered digraphs but not capitals. oops

i went through and found all the pages with trudys language [i mightve missed one but i think i got em all] and wrote the according letters over it- theyre all slightly transparent so u can see whats underneath.

edit 2: the 5 line character doesnt exist its an O variant. we know this bc trudys sign keeps the same characters throughout the book, and it has a clear O later on. also the sort of lightning shaped one resembles S slightly, making me think its Z as S and Z can produce similar sounds [same with B and V in spanish] 👍

um yea anyways ill let you get to it. if yall find anything / figure out anything new lmk!! ill add onto this w the new info :]

still thinking about wegg's curse as a whole. he has to die every month, so it doesn't progress.

but like.. how did he figure that out. i doubt he was told that since the end goal is for it to progress??

he clearly figured it out on his own, or by having something happen to him, and i haven't seen anyone talk about that yet. that's a wholeass conversation in of itself.

coughs extremely loudly at the last post i reblogged bc ok. ok ok ok. bkmn spoiler talk under this but its partly WHY i made the scarecrow glenn au in the first place and i wanna talk abt some of my feelings on it

so. glenns death and like. the concept of him coming back is something so deeply FASCINATING to me for a variety of reasons.

to start off, it would benefit both glenn and neighbor as characters. for glenn, it would give him another chance at life and like. he would have a clean slate. he lost everything, but he also lost everything. in which to say, he is legally dead. he has nothing to his name. he's got no house, no pharmacy, no belongings. but he also has no debt, he has the ability to start anew if he wants. he has a CHOICE.

what he chooses to do with this second chance at life is up to him. he has to be brave and realized he REALLY messed up, but now he can prove himself, to others and also to himself. he can do better if he really tries. and since the au is specifically tied in with alfie bringing him back n seeing more in glenn than he even sees in himself, it inspires glenn to want to be better. alfie went thru the effort of bringing him back, he wants to find out the guy alfie sees in him. he wants to finally try.

for neighbor, in the book hes never really .. had to face consequences of being the heartbreaker n being someone who's killed a lot of people. glenn's the last person he kills, and all neighbor's punishment goes instead to rarold, who wasnt actually the heartbreaker. we dont get to see a lot of internal conflict with neighbor, or really get to see what hes like compared to wegg for example, so that could be a very interesting path to explore. we could hear how he feels abt having to kill ppl to keep his body he wants, and having to live with the fact that glenn didnt deserve that fate (and that neighbor seems to have regretted it, or at least acknowledged he acted more on an impulse than his own moral code.)

long story short: glenn being killed, and then brought back by the man who loves him would flesh him out as a character incredibly, and would flesh out neighbor as well

Copycat

Fandom: Be Kind My Neighbor

Summary: People are disappearing in Baths and you make the mistake of being caught out after dark.

Content: Violence, swearing, Female!Reader, no pairings, but Rarold is pathetic in this if you like your men like a wet cat.

🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

The sun is barely peaking over the horizon as you increase the speed of your pedaling. You didn't mean to stay out so late biking the trails and honestly you were a bit lost. You know with the rumors swirling about a serial killer in Baths that you shouldn't stay out after dark, especially out in the woods. Suddenly your world spins as you feel yourself flying off your bike, crashing into the dirt and gravel. You look over to see your bike, it's front tire twisted, a large stick between the spokes. You start to pick yourself up, wondering how you even managed to do that when you feel a force push you back down. You feel a hand grab your arm and begin to drag you across the path. You stumble trying to pull away and get your feet under you when you finally take in who it was.

"Rarold?!"

Of course it had to be Rarold. The two of you were not on good terms since the time he over heard you make a comment in the diner soon after his wife went missing. Something about making yourself disappear too if you had to be married to him...

"Fucking bitch..." Rarold says. You recall him saying something similar to your remark that night in the diner. He continues to pull you along, muttering. You catch "barn" and "Kevin" before deciding you were done with whatever the hell this was. You dig your heals into the ground in an attempt to throw him off balance. Unfortunately he counters you, whipping his arm forward and sending you flying. You land face first next to him as he stands there, looking down at you and snickering.

"FUCK OFF RAROLD," you screech. Its now or never, in one swift motion you pull the pocket knife from your back pocket and slam it into Rarold's boot. He screams and you pray he ends up a few toes shorter after this experience. You feel dirt hit your face as he begins to run. You're fairly surprised at how quickly he can still haul ass with a limp.

You pick yourself up off the ground, now covered in dirt as a sense of rage washes over you. You weren't just going to let this asshole go, you begin to head in the direction you last saw him. You find yourself soon coming upon a clearing. An old abandoned barn.

As you walk along the back wall of the barn you see the silhouette of a figure and realize you caught up to Rarold. You notice the empty oil drums next to you and decide to pull a little trick you learned working at the local haunted house, scaring teens. A loud bang lets out as your fist connects with the side of the drum. You see the figure nearly jump out of its skin and scurry around the corner. You roll your eyes and mutter in disgust, "Rarold you little bitch."

You're surprised to hear a car door slam and the sound of the engine start up. You run around the corner to see that Rarold had hopped into his truck, the sounds of screeching as he quickly pulls away. You watch as the headlights disappear up the winding road, he's gone now. You accept that you're stuck hitchhiking back to town and you begin to walk along the side of the road.

This comic has inspired me so muchhhh omg ╰(*°▽°*)╯

Also I finished Be Kind, My Neighbor and it's soooo good augh

It's interesting how Yugo Limbo combines different stuff, like, there's gore and horror and romance and these aren't unrelated, but the way they're connected feels very fresh and new.

Mr. Neighbor is such an interesting take on a serial killer character, because he's clearly satisfied with the results of his actions (removing harmful elements from the community) and isn't slow to violence, but he doesn't revel in it in the way one might expect. And it's interesting how that affects his relationship with Wegg, because what they have going on could have been played for horror but it's so enthusiastic and heartfelt at all levels; even if they have outside forces motivating the snuff stuff, the way they're choosing to engage it is working for them and they're enjoying it specifically in each other's company.

Wegg in particular was obviously not having a good time with his curse situation, but Mr. Neighbor offering to help granted him a level of peace that seems new to him, and then they begin having fun with it and we see him very enthusiastically involved in the scenes and having a great time.

Also idk how to put it but the setting both implies the existence of homophobia+transphobia - Wegg having issues being accepted, Glenn lusting over Mr. Neighbor and then "you have a wife and kids!"-ing himself (interesting that we never see said family tho; they're not relevant to the plot or relationships in the core story) - and yet, overall, the community is largely accepting. Tillman gets confessed to by a guy and goes on a date and is open about his relationship without an ounce of fear; Wegg is accepted as masculine by pretty much everyone, though the manner in which this acceptance happens, uh. Varies. As others have said.

Anyways, it all gives the story a fascinating tone, because it is about gore and violence and heavy stuff but it feels, well, kind to the reader? I'm a huge wimp when it comes to horror so it could just be that I'm misreading it bc I had a good experience with it, but I think it's more than that.
