If y’all don’t know, Tenacious D is one of my favorite things ever. This is the shit I bring at midnight.

Rennick and Addair about to explode your MINDS.

[chuthulhu-plays]

I generally watch LPs of horror games bc I'm too anxious to actually play them but a lot of them have FANTASTIC stories, so sometimes I just binge-watch KrinxTV for background noise. Been watching a lot of playthroughs of Still Wakes The Deep because it's such a delight to hear Scottish voice actors get work and I thought I'd address some questions I keep seeing Let's Players ask:

--Adair is a member of the National Front as you can find out from posters in his cabin, a Neo-Fascist British political party that’s been going since the sixties. While it often preaches British ethnic unity, in practice that often means “everybody in the UK should be exactly like East End Londerners” and features plentiful disdain for Scottish, Irish, and Welsh folk, alongside those perceived as “not British”. No wonder the wanker eats alone in the canteen.

--Neeps and Tatties=turnips and potatoes, mashed, drenched in butter or sauce. Fills your belly, keeps you warm, probably makes you sink like a stone because it’s so heavy.

--Cranachan=a dessert made of raspberries, honey, cream and oats, absolutely delicious

--Rennick calls Caz a “wee ned prick”. Ned is apocryphally said to stand for “non-educated delinquent” and is basically just a way of calling someone an uneducated, lower-class criminal

--A lot of things said by and about Roy indicate that he’s a teetotaller who went through AA and specifically became Catholic and is making an effort at converting Caz.

--I think it’s entertaining how Scottish nicknames often follow a pattern of shortening/rejiggering that I also see a lot with Australian nicknames—Cameron becomes Caz, Rafferty becomes Raffs, etc. Trots is an unusual one but is almost certainly a reference to him being a communist, presumably a Trotskyist. Gibbo is also an unusual one in that it’s just very silly. There’s a kind of indignity implied in being killed by a guy called Gibbo.

--A few times on the radio you hear the Shipping Forecast, a type of weather report aimed at specifically reporting weather conditions out on the ocean, and is also famous for the report being read in such a calm, soothing tone that some folk use it as a sleep aid.

--All the yellow paint for interactable things is very video gamey, yes, but is also in line with old British health and safety standards, and yellow paint on things like emergency ladders or on the edges of stairs that are trip hazards is a thing ou can still see in some older buildings.

--Caz keeps saying he’s “good with the leccy”; leccy=electricity. Caz is implied to be quite a wee guy who can get through a lot of tight spaces, and my uncle swears blind that electricians used to refuse to take on apprentices over a certain size because they only wanted to train wee guys who could get up into the tight spaces that a lot of older buildings are full of. On that note, “wee man” is a term of endearment, generally, and isn’t exclusively applied to short guys.

--Finlay saying of Gibbo that “he’s no right” is INCREDIBLY OMINOUS. It sounds mild but “he’s no right, that boy” is what older folk say about a child who’s been found disembowelling cats for fun or someone they strongly suspect is a pedophile. It’s not something you’d say about a friend who’s just acting a bit unusually.

– “Great minds united over a Buckie”--Buckfast, or Buckie, is a caffienated tonic wine that’s cheap, widely accessible, and is a bit like rocket fuel for bad decisions.

– “Ya roaster” tbh I don’t really know where it comes from, calling someone a roaster, but I’ve always felt like it has a vibe of telling them they’re huffing their own farts.

--Scunnert/scunnered--buggered, screwed, utterly fucked, etc

– “You’re the jammiest bastart on this rig” Someone who is jammy is someone who has incredible luck that is implied to be related to their sheer confidence or willingness to engage in risky behaviour. Walking along the street and finding a pound coin isn’t jammy; crossing the road confident that the cars won’t hit you and stopping in the middle to pick up a pound coin before making it unscathed to the other side is jammy as all hell.

--Barlinnie is the biggest prison in Scotland, and largely hosts violent offenders—it’s where Caz would definitely go for hospitalizing a man.

--Weans are children (contraction of wee yins/wee ones). I thought this one was contextually obvious but apparently not.

SPOILERS BELOW

--”One spark and the whole thing’ll go up”—this is referring to the wee spark of flame in the lighter used to blow up the rig, but is also kind of a pun because electricians are often called sparks or sparkies, and in the end it’s Caz who blows up the rig.

[rubus-yunnion]

"I am the fucking king."

Happy Rennick Thursday!! Almost done with everything, just need to answer my inbox again later on, then finally draw Raffs, Roper and Suze tomorrow. I'm excited to finish this week off with a bang, and although there were some stressful moments here and there, I still managed to do it. Enjoy this weeks Rennick drawing!!

[thesleepyfable]

~ SWTD: Still Here AU Part 1 ~

Trots' Reflection:

A first of many chapters I have planned for the Still Here AU. This turned out to be much longer than I expected, so that might be the case for future chapters. If you enjoyed this, then thank you, and let me know if you want Muir or Gibbo's chapter next. Rennick's chapter will be released last.

Part 2:

'Oh fuck. Is that...Trots? Jesus Christ.'

Caz stared in horror at what his friend had become. From the waist down, Trots was just an amalgamation of flesh that spouted tendrils to keep his balance whilst his uniform had been torn to near shreds, leaving only pieces hanging from his arms and upper chest.

Is this why Gibbo didn't want to be looked at? He couldn't blame the poor bastard.

With his eyes wide and the muscles in his neck twitching, Caz knew this was only one way to get back to Roy.

Shit.

He gave himself a moment to calm down before turning the torch off and quietly opening the door. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he had to hold in a gag from the rank smell that struck his nose. He couldn't afford to be spotted, but the noises from Trots' cries of pain and repeating of words carried an echo throughout the room. Caz, for a moment, thought Trots had already seen him and was playing the long game to lure him further. To make himself smaller and quieter, he crouched and awkwardly tip-toed over broken glass and anything that could make a sound.

An open cupboard gave him a moment to breathe again. It only took 10 seconds, but it felt like an eternity for the leccy. He peered out and saw Trots at a better, or in this case, worse angle. 'What the fuck...?' Caz noticed Trots' legs below the knee hanging against the growth. Every few seconds they would twitch, but The Shape had them firmly in place. And whenever they tried to move, Caz noticed Trots made a groan in agony. There was nothing to be done and Caz knew that.

Thinking quickly, he grabbed a Cadal mug by his feet and aimed it towards the other side of the room. He shuffled some of his body from his hiding spot and tossed it over the small pile of laundry machines before quickly tucking himself back in.

Clunk.

Trots reared his head with a curious 'chirp' and took the bait. No longer distracted by the strange light, he crawled along the floor, clearly in pain, as the tendrils latched and detached themselves from anything they could reach. Caz came out of hiding and slowly crept for the stairs. Just up here, and he'll be back with Roy. Then they can make a new plan to -

'W-What?'

Trots' voice made Caz stand still. He slowly looked back with a mix of shock and confusion across his face. Trots' cadence was different. It didn't sound altered by The Shape trying to copy his speech patterns. It was him.

'What the fuck is this?' Trots stared at his reflection in pure shock. His heart raced and his stomach sank as he tried to make out what he was seeing. 'Is that me? But, how - I'm...' Caz slowly followed his voice and glanced at Trots, who was holding a door with all the strength he had. At any moment he could rip it off its hinges. He saw Caz's reflection and turned to him - eyes wide and mouth dry - gesturing to the grotesque mass. 'Caz. What - what happened to me?!' Panic was now, and rightfully, starting to set in.

'Trots? Are you - Okay, okay, just calm down.'

'Calm down? Caz, I look like I've been put through a fuckin' blender!'

'Alright, alright. I'm sorry. Fuck sake.'

A small pause lingered for Trots. He wasn't one for swearing or raising his voice. Even The Shape couldn't replicate that. A tendril moved to close the machine door. It must have been subconsciously because Trots' body and breath shivered, and his eyes squinted.

But that was good, wasn't it? He could control the mass now.

'How ye' feeling?' Caz asked, unable to take the silence.

'Better,' Trots answered with an exhausted tone. 'My mind felt like it was being pulled all over the shop.' It was a strange and painful sensation. He could compare it to being in a coma. He was aware of what was going around him, but couldn't react. His mind and body were on auto-pilot yet he couldn't focus enough to fight back until he saw his reflection. Then it was like a fog had been lifted.

'I'm sorry wee man.'

'For what?'

'I heard ya through the door. I tried getting to ya, but it wouldn't budge. Do you remember what happened?'

Trots nodded. 'Aye. It just shot through the window and latched onto my leg. It felt like someone had taken a knife and was stabbing me over and fuckin' over again. And,' he scoffed. 'Now I'm here.'

'Well, I'm not leaving ya here, pal. I'm gonna to fetch Roy. He's in the pantry.'

'What about the others?'

'Brodie's with Raffs. Poor bastard was shaken after his dive. Finlay and Douglas are looking for Gibbo in engineering, and I spoke to O'Connor. He's with Bruce and Fergus.' He'll leave out Innes. 'Of course that bastard Rennick is still kicking. Probably tucked away all nice and cosy in his office.' He took a quick glance to the stairs. 'So, you with me?'

'...Alright.'

The pair moved in silence. The only thing breaking that was either the stairs echoing with Caz's footsteps or Trots letting out a groan of pain. Both of the men knew The Shape wasn't done with him yet. Trots could control his mind, body and soul, but this thing was slowly mutating him to survive. Who knew what he'd look like by the end of it.

A part of the wall had collapsed from the tendrils. A shooting pain ran through Caz and Trots' head as they approached. 'It's trying to lure us in, Caz.'

'Just ignore it, mate. Here, help me push it back.' Caz can easily slip through the smaller space, but Trots certainly wasn't. He wedged himself halfway between the wall and used his shoulder the push. The wall behind him was used as a base for his feet. 'Come on, Trots.' It wasn't going to budge by itself.

Using all the tendrils and his shoulder, Trots could feel the wall slowly move back. Caz began to slide to the other side, giving Trots room to follow and to an area where the wall wasn't leaning as much. The Shape was stubborn. It was oddly strong for something that looked like ribbons.

'I thought you were a boxer,' Trots bantered with a smirk.

'Yeah. A boxer,' Caz retorted. 'Not a heavy weight lifter, ya prick.'

Both men suddenly burst out laughing, which must have attracted Roy who awkwardly stood at the canteen door. He had noticed Trots and began to go through the same emotions as Caz, frozen in place.

'Erm, Caz.' He got their attention, and the pair turned to him, still stifling laughs.

'Oh, hey Roy. Give us a hand, will ya?'

[greatrunner]

'Stay the fuck away from him. He's no right, Caz.'

Listening to different player encounters with Gibbo. If the player lingers long enough, he says more than once, "Addair's seen to it" or that Addair told him to "go down and fix it ye bastard".

Then there's the line, "Fetch my ciggies... there's a good lad," and that he (Gibbo) is "a good lad... good lad... good lad" (IIRC).

Gibbo might've been changed by the entity because of Addair while they were both in engineering? They might've both been infected at the same time.

(O'Connor going quiet while in engineering during his convo with Caz makes me think he, Bruce, and Fergus might've been attacked by Addair as well.)

Gibbo's dialog in general is unsettling to listen to. "I've seen strange beasties in the water at night" and "I don't like the water tanks", "I've seen terrible things. Terrible, terrible things".

Gibbo had the wherewithal to flee, but not enough control over himself to not attack Finlay, or kill Douglas.

When Caz 'follows' him through the water tanks to reach accommodations as he loses more and more control, he attempts to warn him off several times:

"No! Get back, Caz!"

"I don't want to hurt you!"

"You'll not wanna do that."

"Don't come in here!"

"Don't come any closer!"

It makes Addair's and Rennick's clarity (regarding their aggression toward Caz) terrifying after being radically changed. They're no more or less aware of what's happened to them, but compared to Gibbo, whose reactions sound like someone becoming a passenger in their own body ("You know I'd never... I'd never!"), they're suited to the entity's self-preservation.

And of all the characters changed by the entity - specifically Trots, Muir, O'Connor, and Roper - Gibbo retains a (decaying) self-awareness that none display, even in his growing aggression toward his crewmates and loss of control.

As far as tone-setters go, Gibbo is a great one. He establishes the unfairness of their situation, and what Beria D crew ultimately loses in the end ("Tell me mom... tell her.... I'll be hame soon... tell her...").

[boxjellyjelly]

Do you happen to have any headcannons regarding O'Connor and his friends? They live rent free in my head right now

Gotta admit, i do really hope they release maybe like a dlc or a short part two game that just focuses on the crew and their lives, because O'Connor and Gibbo, despite having only a few lines actually seem like they have lots of cool lore! Especially Gibbo (him talking about beasts, flashing lights etc)

Anyways! Heres a few headcanons of Gibbo, O'Connor, Trots, Finlay and Caz! **SPOILERS!!**

O'Connor

- i think lots of people think Mary is O'Connors wife, but I actually think hes talking about his daughter! Someone on the SWTD reddit said the ones who turn into The Shape are sort of traumatized or broken in some way, and the shape seems to lure/sedate its victims by making it think someone they care about is talking to them, so my mind immediately goes to O'Connor had a wife who either died or left and Mary is all he has. Poor guy :(

- I feel like he would be the type to go up to Trots when they first meet and ask if he can "see how blind" Trots is by trying on his glasses lol (he means well though!!)

- Poor man has night terrors like nobodies business. I like to think hes had night terrors the week leading up to what happens in the game about The Shape, but in very vague ways. Has probably told Trots or Gibbo about them as a joke.

Gibbo

- Again, a lot of people on reddit speculate that people who are traumatized or broken, I think his father left him or maybe just isnt a very great guy, since he tells Caz to tell his mom he'll be home soon, and since his ramblings sometimes sound like something an angry/neglectful father would say to a kid. I think Gibbo def gives off mamas boy vibes

- BIG. OLE. SOFTIE!!!! Definitely is the one who hung up all the christmas decor, and helped Dobbie with decorating their shared cabin.

- Definitely has seen some weird shit that Rennick has told him to stuff down, the "flashing lights" in the ocean, creatures that come up that he chalks up to being weird sea creatures so he can sleep peacefully at night

- I feel like in a weird way, he would survive the explosion and make his way to the main land, maybe to see his mom again or to try an find help

Trots

- I personally fucking adore Trots, he feels like the dad friend of the crew, the type that goes up to the crew when Rennick is up their asses and tells them to stand up for what they think is right.

- Always making passive aggressive comments around Rennick, Caz and Roy are always having to break the two up when they get into heavily heated arguements

- In his infected form, i think it shows a lot about the stresses he has as a union person and as a person in general. He feels like hes always having to clean up peoples messes, make sure things are working the way he should be, I feel like he puts on a composed face infront of everybody but is heavily stressed by his duties to keep everyone from getting killed

- I think he likes melancholy music :] soft and sad tunes that you can take a nap to while it rains outside

Finlay

- Can throw back shots like nobodies business, Caz and Muir are constantly doing drinking games with her and she always wins (though the hangover afterwards for her is more of a lose than anything)

- Constantly messing with Addair by getting into political battles and not giving him any satisfaction in seeing her get angry or anything, will sometimes just throw in random hyper-exaggerated takes to see him get mad

- As we seen from the paper, an absolute fucking wizard at darts, like, to the point where if shes drunk as all hell shes still able to hit multiple middles in a row

- Has nightmares too, but about her son. I cant imagine how hard it was for her to make it past the Shape hearing her son singing and calling out to her :((

- I feel like shes also pretty close with Roy, goes out for smoke breaks with him and stuff like that

Caz

- Double jointed. Maybe im just projecting onto him but the way his legs hurt from like THE SMALLEST OF FALLS is some double jointed problems shit. That being said, he totally does that bending-finger-back party trick for the crew, Trots tries to warn him against doing it but the look of disgust and suprise on the crews face will always make him do it again lol

- Was accidentally the first person to find out about Muir and Innes's relationship. He caught them kissing in the mud room, ever since then hes tried to be like,,,, overly accepting to the point where every time Innes and Muir are walking together he gives them a thumbs up like a dork

- Keeps his hair long despite Rennick and Addairs comments because Suize likes it that way (you cannot tell me Caz doesnt like getting his hair pulled lmao he is WHIPPED for that lady)

- I like to think his afterlife is him haunting his house, i know that may sound shitty but i want that man to be able to watch his weans grow up :(((

[cazmclearyssidechick]

Caz dating hcs !

🌊 You were there when Suze finally couldn’t take him anymore and divorced him while on Sea, comforting him as much as you could, not knowing that it made him feel some type of way.

🌊 He definitely shows off while playing darts with Finlay and the other men to impress you! ( Then proceeds to lose due to him keep staring at you while throwing at the board. )

🌊 He absolutely argued and had a fit with rennick to make your room close or have you share a room with him, then proceeds to act surprised when it happens.

🌊 If your American or let alone not scottish in general, he’ll flirt with you using scottish slang then laugh at how your face flushed up even though you don’t know what the absolute fuck he said.

“ Aye, you’re a bonnie lad. “ The brunette said, a smirk on his face, you looked over, face immediately dusting red, pausing mid food bite. “ I-…thank you..? “ You said, smiling a bit , turning to everyone else at the table, whom immediately bursted out laughing at how confused you were.

🌊 You sometimes have to pull him away from heated arguments. I mean, that’s exactly how he ended up on the rig. And you’d like his knuckles in one piece. Sometimes you can’t always stop him though.

🌊 On the topic of fighting, he’s the only one he comes too to patch him up, nobody else. Even if he was dying?? You. So along with working on the rig, you’re now a part time nurse! Hooray!

“ Ye’ still upset at me, bonnie? “ He said, tilting his head, you let out a small huff in response as you wrapped bandages around his knuckles, he frowned. “ M’ sorry. “ He mumbled out.

“ Do you promise to keep your hands to yourself ? “ You asked, raising a brow, turning your gaze back up at him, his brows furrowed as he looked away before sighing softly, looking back. “…Promise. “

You snorted at how hesitant he was, kissing his forehead. “ Love you. “ You replied, he rolled his eyes. “ Yeah yeah, love you too. “

That’s all I got for now chat 🧍🏾‍♀️( Send me requests ‼️ (masc + gen neutral only , no fems 🤫🧏🏾‍♀️ , also I’m sorry if some scottish is wrong i’m african-american lol )

[copperstars]

I just finished watching 3FS finish Still Wakes the Deep and I didn’t think I’d cry over four separate characters. What. The fuck devs.

SPOILERS BELOW CUT

First Roy fucking dies because of no insulin, AND THEN BRODIE DIES BECAUSE HE COULD GET OUT IN TIME AINCE IT WAS FILLING TOO FAST ANE THE FINLEY DIES BECAUSE SOME METAL THING FELL ON HER THEN CAZ DIES BECAUSE HE ENDED IT ALL FOR THE SAKE OF SUZE AND HIS KIDS

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK DEVS. I KNEW HORROR GAMES WERE SUPPOSED TO SCARE YOU BUT I DIDNT KNOW YOU WOULD ADD THAT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Oh and fuck Rennick, he deserved to die.

[marythekumquat]

OH LAWD HE COMIN.

Time for some Spooktober stuff, and who else but the scariest mf in the game. This is a deleted line that I absolutely love. Thank you @zeondraws for finding all these lines that I now need to gush over. Rennick has the most babygirl lil titter when he says it, too. It’s fucking hilarious.

I shall make another one with more characters later but these are some of my headcanons for my favorite characters !!!! explodes

[beauisoffline]

random headcannons for finlay cause theyve been sitting in my mind for DAYS...

i dunno who the og poster is, but ive seen a post where someone said that Finlay rides a motorcycle on the mainland and i luv that headcannon. I feel like maybe she had a really old one from when she was 17 or 18 (around late 1930's), but she eventually got a newer model, to be specific, a Honda Gold Wing GL1000.

She definitely has tattoos. Maybe a wave or Snapdragon flowers. And she has a leather jacket with burnt in details that match either one of the tattoos.

Finlay had two sons, but the one she mostly was hearing was her youngest- Callum, who had died from an illness when he was younger. and Finlay constantly blames herself for not noticing it sooner.

Her other son is named Calder, and he works in the Air Force. And hes a huge mamas boy. He misses her very deeply when shes on the rig. He writes to her whenever he can.

Finlays love language is acts of service. She absolutely HATES PDA, but doing little tasks shows her appretiation just fine.

One of the top gossipers on the rig- but most dont know- as she mostly spills some with Rennick- and mostly Innes whilke they're on smoke breaks together

Brodie once found out Finlays first name to be Evin, and when he used to as a joke to call out to her, Broide swears he never had ever seen Finlays head snap back to face him so quickly. She was horrifed that Broide found out.

She has one of the bewst smiles on the rig, and is a natural improv comedian. Finlay can and will make fun of others if they know its a joke.

Following that, if shes dead serious about her insult- she swears like a salior. Even more so that Caz- which surpised him when he overheard Finlay yelling at Addair for fucking with sumthing she was trying to fix, and had order to not be used while she was fixing it for her own safety.

also if you find the og poster of the first hc, please let me know so i can give them credit!!!

The idea of a survived-rig Caz being infected is so fucked. You don't know what triggers that thing. Maybe it's dead! Maybe it's not! Maybe you'll wake up in a haze and realise you've murdered everything you've ever wanted! Who fucking knows! But now you really are a fucking liability just Rennick said, just like how it went and you barely stopped it that time, how about now?

There´s no lighter anymore, Caz. No rig, no oil, and no ocean. You are on the mainland, in your flat. If you want to destroy it here, you will destroy other people, too. Your family, your house, maybe, something. It´s not just the rig anymore. The rig was isolated. This is not.

You feel like there is something wrong in your bones. In your skin. Something that kept you alive in the ocean just to dangle you in front of your family like an anglerfish´s lure.

You don´t know if it´s dead or not. You don´t know. It is the uncertainty that´s killing you. Maybe one day you wake up with the twisted, broken bodies of your family strewn about the room. Maybe one day you don´t wake up at all. You don´t know.
