SPREAD THE WORD!

DON'T WATCH YOUTUBE TOMORROW WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13TH! AT ALL! DONT EVEN GO TO THE SITE OR OPEN THE APP!

This is to protest the new ai age restriction tool that'll force anyone they suspect of being underage (with an ai tool) to verify they are over 18 by sending a selfie or some form of ID.

This is an INSANE breach of privacy. So let youtube know you hate it by not using youtube at all tomorrow. Literally go to any other video streaming site. Go watch twitch or something. Anything but youtube.

Some personal design notes I made for comics speech bubbles and on dialogue!

Conclusions were drawn from their dialogue sounds and manner of speech in general in addition to my personal flair and interpretation.

And here's an incomplete list of mental notes on actually writing dialogue for characters:

Curly

expresses genuinely what he feels and what he means, though he's reserved and leaves a lot unsaid

casually playful and whimsical when talking to others or commenting on things

smooth talker

speaks delicately and de-escalatory when faced with a stressful situation

using british slang on occasion, yeah?

Anya

often encouraging or reassuring those she talks to

teasing, witty and playful with anyone not named jimmy

stutters when speaking to those named jimmy but outside of that, speaks smoothly with enthusiasm

speaks with implications, basically says iconic deep meaningful shit in a non-direct way

Swansea

mean, harsh, sarcastic and taunting

like anya, he says some deep shit but in a poetic and direct way

reminds me of Disco Elysium dialogue in terms of vibes

speaks grandiosely

" ain't, goin', el capitano, downstairs longnose, hear hear, ol' codger, rumb-a-tumblin' " very fun to write

Daisuke

unfocused, emphasizes words, informal

speaks at the same time as he thinks, most of his dialogue feels like a stream of thoughts

filler words like, totally like everywhere man

Jimmy

dry, spiteful and bitter remarks, always sounds like he's annoyed at everything

no whimsical or heartfelt comments about anything

uses metaphors and veils his words, spinning them in ways to fit his goals. twists his own words as well as others'

steals phrases from others

persuasive

tbh the longer u think about polle being a vessel/mouthpiece for anyas pain (like bro their text colors r the SAME COLOR. in a game that assigns everyone unique text colors) and her hatred/resentment toward jimmy and the fact that would mean hes aware of what he did to her on a subconscious level and haunted by it (literally personifying it as a giant pursuing monster) and yet he STILL refuses to regard her as a human being. filling her in his mind as a mascot

the 'ive found myself sexually attracted to cartoon horses'

the fact that anya places her sleeping bag underneath polles statue, who is motion activated... likely as a way to protect herself...

the final speech polle gives. 'poor you. caged and alone'

and importantly. when jimmy tries to throw anyas words back in her face - 'our worst moments dont make us monsters-' polle cuts him off. 'HOLD ON! WAIT A MINUTE! if thats true... why are you still so concerned with HIM' accusatorially... like THATS who you feel sorry for? THATS what you think your worst moment was?

anyway sometimes the relationship between a woman who deserved better and a little cartoon horse mascot is so beautiful. to ME

The fact that Doey has three pairs of arms painted on his body to represent the three souls that inhabit him is so crazy and i feel stupid for just getting it now
