The Nobleman or 양반 (yangban): The smiling face represents the bluff and composure that an aristocrat is often known to have. The chin is a separate piece from the top of the mask, and the actors can lean forward and back to make the mask smile or frown as needed.

This monk who abandons his doctrines, or 취발이 (chwibari): Chwibari was originally a monk, but he had no intention of joining the monastic order, so he came down to the world and wanders. Represented with a forehead full of wrinkles and spots.

The widow or, 부네 (Punae/bune): represented to be a widow, or a kisaeng ( a woman who sang, danced, or played an instrument to provide entertainment for company at a drinking party), or a mistress of the Yangban. She has a very small mouth, round cheeks and forehead- giving a general look of happiness good-humor.

you will find yourself making weird noises as quietly as possible in the library at inadvisable hours of the night

Here's this fuckass animation project I didn't do then had to cram in 2 days.

If it looks bad I KNOW. Once again, crammed 10 weeks worth of work into 2 days. I did not sleep.

Thank you to my wonderful partner @agaric25 and super cool friend for doing the voicelines for me. It would be actual ass if I had to do those myself.

I just saw someone say that it's actually GOOD that veilguard doesn't let the player be an asshole/do an "evil" run and that letting the player have an illusion of agency is bad, actually! And the previous games are worse because they're letting the player actually roleplay a shit person, while forcing them to be the hero in the end (i.e. a Hero of Ferelden that sided with templars still HAS to end the Blight and that's apparently such baaaaaaaaad narrative design). All that in the veilguard critical tag. Good god.

I gotta say, as someone who literally studies games in an academic setting: that was one of the stupidest opinions I've seen in a while. Literally factually wrong and so confident about it.

They also called veilguard "a well-crafted narrative" and I think that says enough all by itself.

i was going to say i think i've seen that post but i've seen multiple posts that say this and it never makes any sense to me... i feel like it's very well-established in fiction (and real life) that just because someone is a "hero" it doesn't necessarily say anything about whether they're kind, good, or have strong interpersonal skills. the fact that a grey warden becomes a hero for stopping the blight no matter what they might have to do on the way is kind of the point of the whole game.

what i never get is why people are so against the inclusion of rude / mean dialogue choices if they never choose them... it just means a wider variety of characters can be roleplayed. you don't have to click the mean button if you want to live out an idyllic found family fantasy lol.

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE I'm listening to a 1960s studio show with Peter Paul & Mary and Where Have the Flowers Gone was apparently "a Russian poem"??? Girl KTOMST??? WAIT they put an Irish melody on a hippie tradapted version of Колода-дуда??? We need to start cooking with that kind of folk fusion gas again. We need to bring back Drugs #drugs
