Check it! Some design reference for Donut Canyon's main characters. And Marion's there I guess. Jk he's very important. Group shot by me circa 2017, colors overall by me, reference sheets by Ryan (with design exploration sketches in the background by me).

She has to admit, having Woody persue her so openly is a thrill! And he's so laid back. No expectations, no obligations. They say romance sims are all about woohoo, and she probably wouldn't be opposed, but he's never pushed it, seeming happy enough to take things at her pace.

@sleepnoises a diagram of what i meant. we weren't expecting the second stage (literally EXITING THE CANYON elevation change) so when we got to the third part up on the plains, i realized that like.... i could go down the other side and see the cave, but i wouldn't be able to do the return trip as the 4th part would be uphill. hope that makes more sense lol

when has anyone EVER said that homophobia is izzy’s only motivation. i’m on team “gay homophobe izzy” and i do not think this is his only motivation. i don’t even think it’s his primary motivation. it is another layer of complexity on a fascinating character. he is gay and in unrequited love with ed. he craves power and leadership but he is not good at managing those things when he gets them. he thinks men should behave a certain way and is aggressive and cruel to the men who don’t meet his standards. men having sex with each other is fine, but men falling in love with men falls outside of his rigid idea of how men should behave. he lacks the emotional maturity to be able to identify his feelings towards ed. he is so repressed he only accepts intimacy in the form of physical violence. he blames stede for ed changing. he hates stede because ed is changing. to izzy, the worst part about stede changing ed is the fact that stede is such a pathetic excuse of a man it shatters izzy’s image of ed to think that ed could find anything about stede appealing. he’s dedicated his life to the version of ed that he’s made up in his head. he is possessive of being the only one to call him ed, to be the only one who gets to call the legendary blackbeard by his name. but izzy has never been able to see ed without blackbeard. to him, knowing ed is a privilege only because ed is who’s behind the legendary blackbeard’s curtain.

i think izzy is fascinating. he's a fantastic character. he is incredibly well written. he plays a crucial role in the narrative. this show would not be the same without him.

im telling you now, having spent my time in this fandom primarily interacting with people who also read izzy as homophobic, anyone who is using this interpretation to reduce izzy's complexity is by far in the minority with that take.

decided to go looking for the video essay these tags are talking about.

it's this one, btw, if you'd like to check it out. i highly recommend it as it brings up some salient points as to why the slashed budget and subsequent move from Hollywood studios to New Zealand change the writing and composition of the show from utilizing more wide shots to show off New Zealand's nature as a means to drive interest in tourism.

i wanted to check out the line these tags are talking out "Izzy says it's his job to manage Ed's moods" and then moves on.

this is not the right line and not the right read of what this reviewer was talking about. what the video essayist says is "Izzy's job, as Izzy describes it, is to manage Edward's erratic moods and thus assuage and protect Edward's crew."

the video does a good job at talking about how misplaced and misused Izzy's arc is in the show with other commentators echoing how they'd wished Izzy had remained this vestige of toxic masculinity within the lens of piracy to then be killed off. because why go through all this effort of giving Izzy an arc of redemption and acceptance and using him as a literal metaphor of the spirit of the ship (the unicorn figurehead) then to kill him off? there seem to be too many metaphors in this kitchen methinks

i could go on but i'd probably just be rehashing what the video already said, so again. highly recommend people check it out.

Made it into old yharnam!

Cathedral ward is pretty blocked off for now, I've got just enough leg room to run about and grind the enemies but that's about it. Met Alfred!! He's got a way smoother voice than I remember, but knowing what I do of him gives me the creeps. Helpful enough though - I can summon him at the entrance of the blood starved beasts church.

The funny thing about playing this game with great general knowledge of it is that I recognise many rooms and important locations, but I don't know where on earth those places are, so I'm still stumbling blindly onto them. There's a lot of stuff I know, surface level, like the history of Queen yharnam and the vile bloods and the healing church, but I'm uncovering a lot of smaller stuff that adds to the richness of the world.

The gatling sniper on the tower uses a boom weapon, which means he's a (remnant?) member of the crazy explosion sect of hunters. And I can't put it into words, but I feel like that makes sense with the heavy and thankless duty he has taken on, almost sacrificing himself to protect and guard the quarantined community of old yharnam where no one else would stand for them. Something about the bull headed determination despite what society might say, a deeply emotional morality and a lifetime among monsters and men.

Like I would not make it as a hunter because I read the sign and was like 'welp none of my business let's turn back' but unfortunately that's the only way to progress!

Old yharnam is pleasingly vertical, very easy to get around despite being very disorienting. I don't know how they managed to make an 'old town' area in the gothic cobblestone wet dream of an old town but they did it and they did it WELL.

I did get stuck on getting the messenger bandages in that one corner of the beast church like seven/eight times (why so harrrrrd) but I only died twice to the frenzied mob of parishioners, so, win! I felt so bad each time, though, like I'm not here to kill anyone I just want to loot the place (and interrogate the sniper) I'll be on my way! Their singing was almost nice, shame they kept spotting me (how?!) and starting up those awful screeches. And then they chased me to the ends of the earth!!! Glowing red eyes!! Very scary!!!!

I've reached the blood starved beast so far, but I know that she's a tough one (and FAST, killed me quick) so I'm going to grind the new areas and crank up the levels. Learn my way around them like I know central like the back of my hand. I'm really good at parrying to visceral (thank you zelda breath of the wild) but bullets are SO EXPENSIVE. WHY.
