Mans so flat they rotated him 90 degrees and he disappeared from the narrative.

i know i dont post anything to tumblr ever usually but uhhhthe autism has me by the throat? so. noncanon siffrin family!! first image has siffrin having a great ole breakdown after finding a drawing he did of him & his family (when he was like. 7 lol) in a glass bottle, second photo is of their younger sister, phoebe! color (and a shitpost) + more information on the family under the cut

so phoebe. dear darling girl. she's rock-paper type and is super into research and stuff! like a scientist but she can kick your ass. love her a lot. she's about 6 years younger than siffrin is!

also in the drawing that i didn't mention is siffrin and phoebe's parents, mama rhea (she/her, left, missing an eye!) and baba dione (they/them, right) i love these guys so much. yes all of them are named after saturn's moons, thank lati @cryptidlatias for them (siffrin's born name was janus. none of them remember that, though.)

is there ever any text implying that artemy spent his time away from town-on-gorkhon in the capital, in either game? a good portion of fanwork or discussion about pre-canon artemy puts him in the capital, but i don't think that's intended to be the case.

the narrated introduction at the beginning of his route in classic states that "Artemy has been travelling from town to town learning theoretical and practical surgery for several years". i can't recall if specifics of where he's been are ever stated in pathologic 2, aside from the dialogue options which imply his studies were interrupted by being conscripted as a soldier.

but i can't think of anything he says ever implying that he's been to the capital, so i'm inclined to believe that he hasn't. i imagine he's probably been to medical schools in smaller cities, though, as well as some hands-on apprenticeships. i think the implied itinerant lifestyle in his years prior to returning is worth emphasizing more, too. it gives the impression that he never really had the chance to put roots down anywhere while he was away, while also not feeling fully connected to his hometown either due to leaving at a relatively young age.

(the first game hits the idea that he's disconnected from the town especially hard, with virtually everyone but big vlad and rubin acting like he's an outsider who they've never met before. i think on some level this works, 10 years is a long time, but patho2's attempts to make it feel like he has at least distant familiarity with the town's older residents is one of the better moves it makes.)

Au, where Danny and Timmy are cousins, but instead of Maddie and Mrs. Turner Being Sisters like I've read a lot, as much as i love that, it's Jack and Mr. Turner being brothers instead, lol

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with so much Iranian hate and drama <:[

oh anon. hate to break it to you (a lot of people make this mistake) but iran and iraq are two entirely separate nations.

and also i think reducing it to the words "hate and drama" kind of doesn't cover it, anon.

totally respect the essay about adaptation theory and whatever the fuck but dawg you know people are also pissed off bc of the reboot industrial complex and not bc their childhood fave is being Ruined

The concept of queerbaiting annoys me. I was told that it refers to a work of fiction pretending to cater to a queer audience but then pulling back from it to avoid alienating homophobes, which is an incredibly specific thing. But a lot of people seem to think that it instead means "any time there's any gay subtex, metaphor, or ambiguity" or "whenever something from 1995-2012 was being a normal amount of homophobic for the era."

the irony of one the first main things established about omori as a character is that he's known for his great memory as if he hasn't lost the entire fucking plot repeatedly for years.

like he has a great memory!! if you don't take into account He's Actually The God Of Repression.

what's your favorite full band interview question/moment?

i'm sooo bad at favorites but one of my favorites that might hit the spot if you're in the market for fairly recent chaos: the tiktok live interview with iheartradio canada.

it's actually one of my all-time favorite fandom memories, period. i was literally rolling on the floor laughing with tears in my eyes while watching this live. it was early in the complete mess promo and we'd barely seen them for years and this is what they did 😭

13, 18 and 29 please! c:

13:One of your favorite 80’s songs

(i realized in looking for this answer that a lot of songs i think are 80s are actually either 70s or 90s. so thats fun.)

What's Love Got to Do with It by Tina Turner is for sure high up on the list. her voice, man. Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears, a cover of which was my ringtone for years. Jump by Van Halen, bc i cant not have a VH song.

now you might think bfs not yet existing in the 80s should mean i cant answer them for this (though the 3/4 of the og guys were in high school meeting one another in 86 and all learning to play around that time) however they've been known to do a cover on occasion (1985 is a cover of an SR-71 song) so also Summer of '69, originally released by Bryan Adams in 1985 and covered by Bowling for Soup on their 2000 album Let's Do It For Johnny

18:A song from the year that you were born

i looked at the '1995 in Music' Wikipedia page as well as the billboard top 100 for this, and some that i found are just very funny to me.

Only Wanna Be With You- Hootie & the Blowfish

All I Wanna Do- Sheryl Crow

Cotton Eye Joe- Rednex

Waterfalls- TLC

I'll Be There For You- The Rembrandts

Just a Girl- No Doubt

Kiss From a Rose- Seal

Run Around- Blues Traveler

When I Come Around- Green Day

Wonderwall- Oasis

You Oughta Know- Alanis Morissette

Zombie- The Cranberries

Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under- Shania Twain

to me some of them are just So Big it's wild to think there was a time they didn't exist. and just... me and Wonderwall being born the same year, one of us wildly more successful than the other. it makes me laugh.

also technically released in 1994 on their self titled debut album (just three months after their formation!) i will also go with Nebraska by Bowling For Soup since it was out and about at the time.

29:A song that you remember from your childhood

im sure ive said this before somewhere, but i grew up listening to late 90s/early 2000a country, which undoubtedly did irreparable damage to my psyche but also is the reason i knew from an early age that i was queer (even if i didnt want to admit it then) i remember being so in love with Shania Twain in the UP! music video and the hot waitress from Alan Jackson's I Dont Even Know Your Name. Drive (for Daddy Gene) also by Alan Jackson was very big in our house. then my sister was big into Britney Spears and i was very anti pop music, which made sharing a room suuuuper fun (also we're eight years apart, so add thay layer in) but now whenever i hear any Britney songs i think of being a kid.

and the bfs answer is High School Never Ends, even though i was like 14 or 15 when i started listening. my childhood best friend showed me 1985 one day and i became obsessed. my favorite was always HSNE and i played it constantly

Lucius? Insecure about the fact he's the second-born child and often feels kind of invisible (mostly cause he's small and quiet)?

It's more likely than you think!
