If Eddie is trans in the Crime Puppets AU, does that mean the murder husbands can have murder kids some time in the future?

being a huge fan of tlou but also like. thinking that certain stories are built for certain mediums. like the entire theme of tlou2 is grounded and fresh because it’s a railroad/story video game that still affords you mechanical choices in how you navigate the world. i just don’t have a lot of confidence that presenting that story in a tv show with the minimal adjustments that they did in s1 will be fulfilling or compelling in any comparable way. because with tlou1 some of the like. beauty of that story was simply that it was such an emotive story contained in the medium of video games. and some of that was retained just by hitting similar or expanded emotional beats in the show, like the episodes that expanded on the life of the characters and the realities of that world. but truly so much of tlou2 emotional depth and ‘why does this story matter’ rests in the fact that’s it’s your hands on the controller, continually choosing to go forward in the story and have hope that it will work out in your-as-ellie-or-abby-or-somehow-booth’s favour. and you simply cannot get that in a non-interactive medium like television. like i do think tlou2 is a good story but it’s a good story because of the investment required by the player to keep pressing buttons and keep returning and to feel the adrenaline like responses of high intensity moments and be jarringly shifted into backstories that only increase the frustration. in general i’ve been thinking a lot about cross-medium adaptation and on the one hand i am glad that season 1 makes the story of the last of us more accessible to people who wouldn’t pick up a video game but it’s also like. maybe instead we can destigmatize video games as this inaccessible and dangerous medium a bit more instead of just . implicitly agreeing . like no maybe your mom won’t pick up a video game controller and play the last of us . but maybe you can play the game in the living room. sometimes the mediums that stories are told in aren’t just important but are actually foundational parts of how the information of a story is conveyed and that’s not only okay but is fucking fantastic. we should be happy actually that there are so many ways to collect a bunch of themes and ideas and put them together and hold them out to someone else and say “won’t you consider this with me. won’t you feel these emotions and care about these characters with me.”

mfn sequel where one storyline is managing the studio with gordon and the other is learning, through flashback like sequences via the puppets, their origins

Not to be some conspiracy theorist liberal hippie piece of shit but like… anyone else feeling like something is Off about the election tho

And before anyone who doesn’t have online media literacy goes “so yOu DoNt care that people JjuSt lost their rights” no I do bc I’m one of those people (proud triple minority), and I hate Trump and the American ChristoFascist plague that’s sweeping the nation and the deep rooted misogyny that American men hold for women and minorities. I very much care I’m also just coping lmao

But also something is wayyyyy too quiet about this election

the order doesn't matter that much also the "not for me" tier can range from "man idgaf" to "WHAT THE FUCK"

some Friendly Maintenance scribbles i forgot to post!

[disastersteps]

replaying rebirth (mostly to finally finalize what and who anita is) meant getting to appreciate mortum even more...!!!

also the scene where you told the doctor that you want the best, and hold on-

"You, or your mysterious boss? You need baseline psi-sensitivity to control this thing, and you, ${title}, have none." Dr. Mortum has been asking questions about who you are working for since day one.

Like. "damn they really guess this right waaaay in the start."

@thalassicapollyon replied to your post “annoying caw...”:

Unless you're a newborn, you should probably have that checked out.

​i was going to make a joke about acting like a newborn but this made me laugh to much to actually be able to make my joke how dare you
