Mmmmmm my deepest darkest secret is that for halloween I’ve wanted to be Dr Pepper’s Lil’ Sweet (2015) for years BUT I CAN’T with my current friends bc I’ve ALREADY DRESSED as a DIFFERENT corporate mascot in front of them and I can’t risk having that kindof a reputation😳😟

worldbuilding excuses Brennan has taken to put a bothersome french fry man in a D20 campaign

A Crown of Candy: everyone's food

Tiny Heist: everyone's small

Never Stop Blowing Up: nothing matters what's the point

capitalist-centric horror/corporate horror is such an interesting concept to me. like, the idea of taking something that is so (unfortunately) mundane in many people's lives in our current societal landscape and either perverting it or amplifying all aspects of it to create a horror experience is just so beautiful to me.

games like night in the woods (which technically isn't horror but is still relevant as a game creating a psychologically horrific atmosphere for the point of commenting on capitalism's effects), lethal company, night of the consumers, employee of the month (great game i rlly recommend), mouthwashing, happy's humble burger farm, yuppie psycho and MANY more games that don't fit neatly under a specific category outside of a general conception of what "horror games" are.

those kinds of things are fascinating because of the way they combine traditional "horror" (scary monsters, jumpscares, blood and gore) with the stress caused by something like a normal 9-5 at a corporate office, or the concept of working conditions at a packing plant.

it makes you think about how normalized the conditions we as humans exist in, and how despite that people are calling out that normalcy, whether simply through setting and plot or specifically through intention and subtext. it's definitely a genre of game that i'm excited to see more from and something i really want to think more about

(this was inspired by the jacob geller video essay discussing labor in both NITW and Tacoma)

mouthwashing so interesting cause you can see the characters getting warped by the fandom perception in real time

they're gonna reveal that he's called Vault Boy because when he was a kid he was very reserved and sullen and never opened up and so his bullies called him "vault boy".......but to everybody's horror....it was only when the world was ending...that he finally smiled and gave a thumbs up...

au where chat picked "live" and Squiggles got a funky new assistant

Another thing that really amuses me about Genshin is Paimon, like if you're an old nerd you remember Navi from Ocarina of Time and how annoying she was (they even made a joke about it in the Powerpuff Girls) HEY LISTEN! was a meme for years

And then Agujeroverso (which is still an evil corporation, don't get me wrong) said, here's Paimon, she's even more annoying that Navi, AND she's our mascot, she's gonna be everywhere, she will follow everywhere, you can't get rid of her, she's your travel buddy and your best friend and you WILL love her.

Again, don't interpret this as me defending hoyoverse in any way, but it's funny that it worked

suck it

[mickedy]

in the mood for something spooky

i was thinking, the other night, "what if mickey made the blot because he was trying to create a replica of himself?" and it brought a lot more things together than i expected

i dont think the blot is truly evil, just an unfinished toon with a hunger for a Heart and universal adoration. but there is some baggage in that, from creator to creation.
