Carpenter Babygirl <3

Still procrastinating on reading the last few transcripts 🧍 they can't harm me if I don't read them.

[ID: two Digital drawings of Carpenter from The Silt Verses. In one she's sitting, holding a water bottle in one hand and resting her chin on her other hand. In the other drawing she's walking, carrying a backpack and holding a walking stick. /End ID]

*how does it feel to know that you are alone, sister? That nobody is coming to help you? That there is no kindness, no mercy left to be had?*

Episode 19 Carpenter got me absolutely possessed. In fact, Carpenter got me feral. Like 2 drawings of the same wet, depressed, deranged, gods favorite, cappuccino lover, wanted criminal and mass murderer asexual disaster woman is a lot

Tsv character portraits. It was very important to me to get my vision of them out of my head after I listened to the finale for some reason. Hopefully it’s obvious who’s who

[thermodynamic-comedian]

the silt verses is a very cool podcast for many reasons but also because your first impression of a character is true, but not the full story. faulkner is a sweet optimistic young man, but he's also a religious fanatic and a liar willing to betray and kill others for his own power and legacy. carpenter is a mean but strong old woman sick of everyone's shit, but she's also a character that deeply and fully cares about others and is allowed moments of weakness. shrue is a spineless bureaucrat that makes others do the dirty work on their behalf, but they're also someone with the anger and bitterness and social isolation needed to be easily radicalized.

gives the characters a really genuine sort of three dimensionality to them, that nothing is actually fully a facade, just an aspect of them that they want others to see. the best lies have a fraction of the truth in them etc etc

It's so poetic how the Silt Verses begins with Carpenter and Faulkner traveling upriver together and ends with them traveling downriver together.

em and mallory glass!! i drew the original maybe a month ago now, but i finally scanned my traditional stuff for paintovers :] design notes below the cut!!

their clothes are loosely based on some of mine and my brother's slightly more formal clothes from when we were <10y.o - a scout uniform and school pinafore respectively. em's ascot is shorthand for "rural formal" to me

the pattern on em's collar also features on my katabasian designs

the pattern on mal's collar is the same as the broken traditional pattern on faulkner's high katabasian robes, as foreshadowing for her losing her faith

mal is painted wearing greens because she is born to the land. em is blue, because he is born to the water

em is meant to vaguely resemble faulkner. he has dimples, freckles, and similar feature + face shapes

despite the dour air over them, this is just a grumpy boy not wanting his picture taken and his sister caught between his bad mood and her nana's stern direction - truly honestly nothing bad happening to them at this moment. im pretty sure there are pictures of my brother and me with the exact same vibe

Finally, a sister carpenter I like

[angryducktimemachine]

Acantha I miss you :((

[ID: a digital drawing of Carpenter and Acantha from The Silt Verses. They're sitting on some rocks, both holding a cup of tea. A cat is stretched over Carpenters lap. Acantha is smiling and looking at Carpenter who's looking at her with a neutral expression. /End ID]

Top Ten Carpenter Moments

[empty-blog-for-lurking]

Also I somehow completely forgot to mention in my last post but like Vaughan just in general!! Was so!!!

Like first we meet them they are clearly such a hopeful person, just casually being genuine friends with Carpenter aka the most asocial person in this podcast uptil now (maybe it's also because Carpenter is young here but still). They want to make it Big in the city and have a great life and even though they know it can be unlikely they still want to give take that chance.

And then the next episode and it's just. Idk if it was just me but Vaughan to me sounded extremely tired, from their very first lines they sounded so exhausted but hiding it behind a playful mask. It was like their upbeat optimistic personality had been gutted and only a shell was left but enough of it to still convince others that they are ok. Which is especially jarring because by all means they have achieved their dream. They are in the creative team of a big company. They did make it big!

And then more of the chapter goes on and the more the bleak reality of this world is revealed the more it becomes that Vaughan won't survive this. They realized that as soon as Paige showed them that email, that the company will sacrifice it's employees and it will include them.

And they still tried to fight it! They went kicking and screaming and completely hopeless but they still tried to fight it even though they knew it was pointless they still tried. And yet it meant nothing. All of their hardwork, their dreams, their friendships, nothing saved them as the dream they worked so hard to achieve literally killed them brutally

And just!!! One of their first lines was "Isn’t this great? We each get to choose the thing that eats us." Except they didn't! They didn't get to choose! They fought and it was for nothing and they didn't even get to choose what would eat them

Carpenter has, I think, always been more or less an atheist. She has always loved the river, not the Trawler-man — what she loved was the tradition, the community, that it brought, as well as the actual, physical river. She always prays to the river itself, not to the god, and so much of what she says to the Trawler-man is disparaging or admonishing. The fact that she ends up dying in the White Gull with a half-remembered prayer on her lips is a fitting end for our girl, I think.
