So I’m a big nerd and I love to mix in Easter eggs into what I’m writing. I tend to do this the most with Bioshock and Red dead Redemption. Bioshock infinite takes place in the same time period.

Booker Dwette is a Pinkerton detective.

The more you know right?

So whenever Arthur makes medication, lube or bait.

I like to thing he reuses Vigor bottles. He finds them from time to time, sadly empty.

But pretty.



Arthur keeps stamina stuff in this one!

Take a wild guess what Arthur keeps in this, might be the reason Jack is around. Abigail borrowed it one night. Teehee

I know this is dumb but it’s a fun idea

Been thinking about how Bill legitimately had a horrifying reason (the literal progressive disintegration of the nightmare realm that erases whatever it disintegrates from existence completely) to move himself and his crew into a new dimension. Like that's terrifying. And yet he never utilizes this to his favour. He could have been honest about this with Ford, and you KNOW as long as Bill didn't mention plans of overtaking the earth, Ford would've made the portal for him, both out of Ford's own interest and because Ford when faced with these big moral questions will pull through. But this is a card Bill NEVER plays because although he needs to leave the dimension, he cannot lose face. He can't put aside his pride and admit to the humility that he needs to flee from his dimension, that he's not actually all powerful. And so instead he pretends to be a muse and when Ford figures out something else is going on, instead of being open and humble and saying that his dimension is unravelling, Bill focuses on that he's going to over take earth, that he's actually been a monster all along, surprise Ford!

And part of it is definitely because Bill's built himself up on power and violence and to grovel and earnestly ask for help, to admit that he cannot stop the unraveling of his dimension completely invalidates that; showing vulnerability? Can't do that, even under the guise of lying to get his way. And part of it makes you wonder if it's also a form of self-sabotage, because underneath his deep denial Bill is guilty over what he occurred; he sees himself as a monster and so he'll be that monster, and having people recognize that feels good in the same way that pressing a bruise feels good. But it makes you wonder what would've happened if Bill even just was open about his dimension unravelling and had lied about overtaking the earth.

It's also interesting because although Bill has SOME charisma and can manipulate people decently well (as evidenced by his cult, and pandering to people's desires with Ford, Mabel and Blendin), he refuses to be vulnerable, refuses to not be true to his off-putting self, even when if he was just vulnerable of pretended to not be himself, to put aside the (false) pride he has in himself he would've gotten a portal by now. and part of me wonders if it's because it's this false pride that built on insecurity and denial on who he is he cannot drop that mask.

Further thoughts on this!

Damian walking past Tim's room to get water in the middle of the night hearing, "yes, I know. I know. You're excited to get to the bottom of this problem. I'm aware. I hear you, really I do. You make a good case. I would really love to work on it, too." and wondering who he's speaking to, only for him to continue, "but you're trying to be GOOD about your silly little human body right now. So get up. Go to bed. You need to sleep. Don't be an idiot. Come on. It's bedtime. For real. Let's go." so Dami peeks in, and it's just Tim talking to himself, growing more frustrated by the moment (though his tone suggests nonchalance). He's still firmly planted in the chair. He tried his best.

something that i've been really enjoying about writing radiostatic recently is that they're both monsters in opposite directions. alastor is scary like a nightmare, like a bogeyman, grand and eldritch in scale in a way that alarms the animal hindbrain. but on a personal level, when he's in a good mood, he... seems kind of toothless, actually. what makes him really threatening is his mythos, not his human personality, which can be as meanspirited and cruel and manipulative as any other regualar person, but for the most part is just disarmingly eccentric. you're wary of what he can do but you're still willing to approach him.

on the other hand, though, vox is scary in ways that are viscerally human—he's your shitty boss, your abusive ex, your neglectful parents. he manipulates and gaslights and warps reality for his own gain and he does it with a smile and an insistence that it's for your own good, and you'll believe it. he doesn't have a terrifying reputation because he doesn't want one; it would honestly just impede what already works for him. the contrast is hilarious to me personally because i've found that my readers tend to be less on edge about alastor's serial killing and more alarmed about vox being a classic lying piece of shit and i find that delightfully funny
