"What happened to your hair?” He sits up and pushes his fingers through Verso’s hair with a watery little laugh. “What’s wrong with my hair?” Verso demands.

It was a pleasure to work on commission for a fic that made me ship Verstave, make sure to read it!

This game is a beautiful and brutal examination of grief and letting go....and also you can wield a baguette sword.

i don't want this life

the most fucked up foreshadowing i haven't heard anyone talk about is on gustave's grave in the monolith one of the Visage sad masks is on the tombstone. there's layers here. Verso being sad because everyone is mourning and Gustave's death is genuinely upsetting, but also using those feelings to cover up that he is undoubtedly responsible for his death and the guilt he feels for it. so subtle but so smart

CLAIR OBSCUR: Expédition 33.

"Everywhere we go, just death, death, and more death [...] I thought YOU would understand. You said you spent your immortality burying the people around you. Doesn't any of this bother you?"

Theory on Gestrals and Jazz:

"They will never understand, one day, this place will be full of casinos and everyone will listen to jazz."

There's more than one gestral with dialogue raving about jazz. Monoco's theme, Golgra's theme, and other gestral-adjacent songs in the soundtrack are very jazz influenced. Why are the gestrals so into jazz?

My theory is that real Verso, being a musically-inclined kid growing up in the late 19th century, probably loved jazz. It was the up-and-coming music of that era. Of course he made all his cool gestrals love jazz.

I imagine jazz at the time had the impact that hip-hop has today - it's a new and unique sound that makes grumpy old people wrinkle their nose and say "back in my day, they used to make real music". Imagine Verso coming home with a newly purchased jazz record, carefully tucked between 2 classical records so as not to cause a scene, being intercepted by Renoir arriving home, who just sighs and says "Don't play this while your mother is home, you know what she thinks of this garbage."
