[prokopetz]

I love the soundtrack design in Small Saga. Its basic premise is a wainscot-fantasy-meets-sword-and-sorcery sort of deal with mice and rats wielding lighters and pocketknives and other human-made tools as "god-weapons", played more or less 100% straight, with the obligatory blend of plinky faux-medieval ambience punctuated by thumping orchestral bombast for the big events, and then out of nowhere you get hit with a boss fight accompanied by this:

I want you to try and imagine, without context, what you could possibly be fighting that would warrant this music.

Ruby: Why did you spare Cinder? Out of everyone here, I thought you'd want to be the one to kill her?

Jaune: Honestly, Ruby, the reason is because...

Jaune: ...I'm tired. It's exhausting. Everything I went through, I mean. I've been angry for a long time, and part of what kept me going was that fire inside me. But it kept burning me, little by little, bit by bit. It's like I was a candle, almost at the bottom of the wick.

Jaune: When I looked into Cinder's eyes, I didn't see the woman who killed Pyrrha. What I saw was just an angry, little girl, lashing out at everything.

Jaune: ...I'm sorry if you aren't happy with that answer.

Ruby: I mean, like it or not, it's definitely the most honest one. But I do have another question, though.

Ruby: Are you okay, Jaune?

Jaune: ...

Jaune: Yeah, I'm good. Never been better.

Jaune: ...I'm gonna go for a walk.

Ruby: Where to?

Jaune: Mm... I dunno. Probably outside of Beacon. Past Mountain Glenn. Stop by Ansel. That's my home, by the way.

Ruby: Do you want me to come with you?

Jaune: ...Honestly, Ruby, I'd rather walk alone.

Ruby: JAUNE!

Ruby: You don't have to be alone, you know! Weiss, Yang, Blake, all of us are your friends! And Ren and Nora! And Oscar and Uncle Qrow and-

Jaune: (Snickers) I get it, Ruby. You're all probably the best friends I've ever had. But right now. I need to be alone.

Ruby: ...See you soon?

Jaune: Better sooner than later, right, Crater Face?

Ruby: Yeah... Vomit Boy.

Jaune: ...See ya, Ruby.

Ruby: See ya, Jaune.

The highlight of my week has very quickly become watching @assamkofi and @neitherabaron play Small Saga. Sometimes a game about a mouse just really wanting to just kill some guy can be so emotionally devastating.

Plus some sketches for the characters as humans down below :)

(The rats have plaits to symbolise their in game tails. Verm gets a fake plait as he gains his "tail")

everyone needs to play Small Saga

[rocksanddeadflowers]

Need the mechs fandom to know I'm going insane over the Rat-Tailed Rover album (the songs Kofi did for the game Small Saga). I'm just. Obsessed. Combining some of my favorite fantasy genres AND music. AND KOFI'S VOICE!!!!! It's so good no thoughts head empty just adventuring rodents........... If y'all haven't listened yet I demand you do (no pressure really but I am feral over this).

Ruby: Got it... Now, time for me to make my way back to my tea-

STOP RIGHT THERE, THIEF!

Ruby: Huh?

Adrian: You put that back right now! Stealing is wrong!

Ruby: I'm just taking it for a little bit. They won't even notice it's gone.

Adrian: But it's wrong! Stealing is wrong! My mommies told me so!

Ruby: I don't have time for this. Get out of my way, kid.

Adrian: NO! Put it back right now, or... or... I'LL BITE YOU!

Ruby: ...Hey, guys? Could you help me out here, please?

Weiss: Oh no, Miss Leader! You dug yourself into this, now dig yourself out!

Ruby: Ugh... Fine...

--------------------------------------------------

Ruby: GET OUT OF MY WAY, KID!

Adrian: I'M NOT A KID!

--------------------------------------------------

Adrian: M... M-M-M...

Adrian: MOMMYYY~!

Terra: What's going on over here?

Ruby: Oh, you're his mom, right? Look, it's just a big misunderstanding.

Adrian: Mommy, she stole Great-Grandpa Arc's sword and then beat me up!

Terra: Oh, did she now? Hmph... Another bully pretending to be a huntress. You think just because you put on a cape that everyone is just going to let you do whatever you want, even if it's something like stealing and picking on a small child?!

Ruby: What?! No, no, no! I didn't... I mean, he started it, and...

Ruby: Yang, you're good with words! Help me out here!

Yang: Ohoho no, Rubes! This is YOUR side-quest, remember? Don't worry! I know you've got this~!

Ruby: ...

--------------------------------------------------

Ruby: YOUR SON IS A MENACE!

Terra: MY SON IS AN ANGEL!

--------------------------------------------------

Terra: Whoa! Be careful where you swing that thing! You could lop off somebody's arm with it!

Do I need to come over there?

Adrian: Uh oh...

Terra: Now you've done it.

Adrian: Yeah! My mommy is gonna kick your butt~!

Saphron: I heard everything. Stealing from my grandfather. Fighting my own wife and son. All in my own house...

Saphron: YOU are a bad influence on little my Adrian!

Adrian: Yeah, a bad influence!

Ruby: (Gulps) Uh, g-guys? She looks really tough... I would really like some help over here!

Blake: That's very astute of you, Weiss. Yes, the ninjato isn't a real sword by historical means, though it is inspired by real ninja blades like the katana and the oodachi. There are many distinctions between the blades, such as length and material, though I'd say the most important is the difference in culture.

Yang: Like where the sword's made?

Blake: Yes, but also no. See, it's also important to recognize WHO holds the blade, why they're wielding it, and what role they play in their society. Some wielders might be seen as great warriors while others are more metaphorical in their power.

Weiss: This is so fascinating... I almost feel like there should have been a detailed class about this.

Ruby: I KNOW ALL OF YOU CAN HEAR ME!

Ruby: Hoo... Okay, fine. Let's get this over with.

--------------------------------------------------

Ruby: YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF JERKS!

Saphron: And you are a petulant child. You have a lot of growing up to do.

--------------------------------------------------

Saphron: ...Hmph! You're not half bad.

Terra: Would you like some help, dear?

Adrian: Let me help, too, mommies~!

Saphron: Mm... Maybe... But then again...

Saphron: It was about time we got rid of that old hunk of rusty metal... Should we really bother stopping her from taking it? Please make sure you take care of it, Miss.

Adrian: But stealing is WRONG, Mommy!

Saphron: You're right, Adrian, but sharing is also right. And any friend of Jaune's a friend of ours, as well. You remember Miss Ruby, don't you~?

Ruby: You mean... You knew the whole time?

Saphron: Mhm... Jaune called me earlier. Say hi to him for me, would you~?

Ruby: (Rejoins her team)

Weiss: ...All done~?

Ruby: (LEVEL UP~!)

Weiss: Fantastic. Let's move on.

[grabbyratpaws]

Gwen you useless lesbian! I mean I get it, but priorities!

[sketchylogic]

When the game comes out, I want you all to be normal about the giant, armoured, butch stoat who eats people. I want to see normal reactions. Normal fanart.

Hope that's clear.
