Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

Succession

(script under cut)

1.

"This is how you become a crow." "You take its hide for your own," "and bury its soul in your heart."

2.

Eileen's predecessor was a kind man. A rare friendly face to an outsider new to Yharnam.

3.

"This is a sky burial." "We become crows, so that their souls may rest in the dream."

"How does one become a crow?"

4.

5.

"This is how you become a crow." "You take its hide for your own," "and bury its soul in your heart."

6.

Lately, though, Eileen likens herself to the carrion crows.

7.

Far too burdened by the past to take flight. Her glory days are long gone now.

From an outsider, to an outsider.

8.

Any day now.

9.

"This is how you become a crow."

10.

"You take its hide for your own," "and bury its soul in your heart."

I want to see a work of fiction that reverses the "vampires are snobby upper class, werewolves are brutish lower class" stereotypes

Susan: A guardian angel is like this friend who follows you around and makes sure you don't get into trouble and loves you with all their heart

Mitzi: Oh, like you.

Hey there, may I ask how you manage your research? I'm a huge fan of video essays and I'm amazed at how you all seem to condense so many references from various media on a particular subject. I mean, how does one manage so much cultural content to dissect and draw numerous conclusions? Isn't easy to be lost in thought sometimes?

Honestly, I just potter around and bump into things and go ooh that's a familiar shape. That's interesting- what about that theme is grabbing my attention? It also depends what I'm chewing on at that point in time and what gels with whatever I'm feeling. It's pretty rare that any of my scripts end up going in the same direction they started in. I write about 15 pages to get all the ideas down and then go...hang on, what was this *actually* about? What was pulled me into this and what sticks with me when I think about that game/show? Then I refine it and connect it to more things and go down many rabbit holes. From what I've seen some people are whittlers: they have a big old block off Stuff/ideas and chip/edit away until it's the perfect shape. Some people are embroiderers and start with a lovely idea/fabric and add detail after detail, building up the layers. Some people are a mix of both. It's easy to get lost in the sauce but that's why I talk to my partner about scripts and explain it and she'll ask me about it from angles I hadn't thought about.

thank you for the recommendations! admittedly ender lilies is a favorite of mine and i've already got magnolia on my wishlist! i'll be tackling each one as soon as college settles down, i'm really excited so thank you for responding! it's alright, i tend to gravitate darker themes. i can't think of many cheery ones either when recommending things.

i don't know if you'd like it, perhaps you've already played it but, i'd recommend "the house in fata morgana"! it takes a while to get going but, i look back upon the experience as enjoyable!

thanks again for the recommendations!!

I am STOKED for Magnolia! I was so happy when I saw the trailer! I hope there's something on that list that you love 💛

And thank you for the recommendation too! I've heard the name crop up a few times but have no idea what it's about but everything I've heard has been really positive. Got a copy on steam now so that I'll remember haha

it's so sad that the people weren't ready for a game about the fucked up social and emotional dynamics of a group of weird little girls presented to us through the warped perspective of a traumatized young woman reminiscing on her repressed memories in a non-linear fashion using the flowery language and aesthetics of fairytales because that was the frame of reference her young mind used to process and understand this whole depressing mess at the time. i just know so many of us would eat that shit up nowadays if it were a recent indie game release :/
