a24 should just say “hey amazingphil. make a movie about anything. go wild.” and i think we would get an absolute masterpiece

[danandfuckingjonlmao]

do you ever think about how we have phannies in every field? like we have doctors and baristas and mental health therapists and geologists and audiologists and engineers and neuroscientists and authors and social media consultants and activists and child care workers and museum managers and teachers and biologists and emts and linguists and accessibility coaches and sign language interpreters and artists and musicians and editors and actors and chefs and fucking EVERYTHING. not to mention the specific knowledge bases and hobbies we have outside of our professions—coding, linguistic and cultural diversity, artistic creativity, political/social awareness, passion for justice, research, make up and hair and fashion design, media literacy, philosophy, all of our special interests/hyperfixations, etc. we could run a successful commune no problem at all. we’re so smart and talented and resourceful and powerful.

the phandom is rooted in a past of being infamously shitty, and i do see yall slipping back into old habits sometimes (mostly on twitter but sometimes here and you know it <3) but it’s pretty fucking cool how capable this community is and our ability to unify. anyway phanmune when.

(if you want, leave your knowledge base/skills in the tags or replies. can be profession, hobby, major/program of study, what you study in your free time, what you want to learn about, what you’re interested, all of the above, anything)

not to over think it, but thematically I think Were-Vasco would be his most societally unacceptable but authentic self. So maybe he is successful in aiding Machete but is more violent in doing so

He just becomes an anarchist.

plus when you drew that somno robin my head was suddenly assaulted with inspiration so pls dont hold this against me HERBBFHJERHJBFB

Unbelievable... Now even you are after my ass too Dean... Is this betrayal that I'm feeling?

I don't know how it is in Taiwanese Sign Language, but in American Sign Language, signs are distinguished by handshape, location, and movement, so when Zi Xiang did the sign for FLY, he had the correct handshape and movement.

But it was the wrong location.

And he has been shown to make the location error several times.

Therefore, I don't think he signed LANGUAGE

Handshape and movement are the same, but he did it closer to his lower face, like his chin.

While Shao Peng did it above his mouth.

Therefore, I think Zi Xiang actually signed something about being with Shao Peng rather than LANGUAGE (communicating with him), and that's why Shao Peng paused.

But maybe it's nothing, and I shall enjoy this sign in the meantime.

[reagent-leon]

wait, what do you mean we gotta suspend disbelief about franco's height? what for?

Franco is much taller in-game than he is in the comic. In fact, he's the same height as every other ex-pop or prime asset, since only the giant ex-pops get any special treatment.

Honestly, it really bugs me that his height is supposed to be a defining trait, but in-game, it just doesn’t matter. I get that it would’ve required entirely new motion captures, but still, wouldn’t it add so much to his character if he visibly struggled with things like reaching into barrels or dragging out reagents? I think he would’ve been worth the extra effort, but whatever, I guess that just means they never planned to include any other short characters.

With Coyle and Gooseberry, we never see them close enough to others to make solid height comparisons. But with Franco, there’s plenty of evidence that he’s short. For example, from what we see of Clyde Perry in the comic, he’s not a tall guy, and Franco is clearly shorter than him.

Even with the odd angles and keeping perspective in mind, Franco is a lil guy.

I think he is, or at least was supposed to exhibit some level of medical dwarfism, but either there was a change of heart or technical limitations stopped Red Barrels from running with it... or, as I said, we're just supposed to suspend our disbelief. His facial features resemble those of someone with Pfeiffer Syndrome (type one), so maybe it was a fear of demonising or infantilising people with disabilities that kept them from implementing his proper height. But that seems like an odd line to draw, considering the stuff they pull in the rest of The Trials.

I think Franco's outfit adds to his bulky appearance in-game, and I reckon he was given that suit at Sinyala. Because the fact is, on the outside, the Barbis were rich enough to afford proper clothes tailoring, which would have made Franco look far more proportional. I think they deliberately put him in an oversized suit to make him seem more childish, despite how big they made him in-game.

It's good character design, and it works regardless of how big or small a character is. Putting someone in oversized clothing is usually a reliable way to make them seem more childlike. It's why, at nearly 30, I can still get a child ticket for the bus, because I am height-deficient and I live in oversized hoodies.

Furthermore, everyone in the game describes him as short. I'm not combing through every single line of dialogue, since it's all very well documented on the wiki, but both Coyle and Gooseberry reference Franco’s short stature constantly in their Prime Time dialogue.

Mother Gooseberry calls Franco "little man" in the majority of her lines, as well as "dapper little fellow," which I thought was incredibly cute.

Coyle, on the other hand, is much less flattering but definitely more descriptive. He calls Franco things like "runt of the litter," "half-sized pile of shit," "s'like somebody cut a man in half," and so on.

-

Unrelated, but since this is a Coyle blog, I think I'll add this at the tail end. For as much as people depict Coyle as tall, I really don't think he would be. Partially because nobody comments on it in any way. If we were supposed to read Coyle as tall, I think Gooseberry would probably have called him "tall, dark, and handsome," or something similar. If he were 6'0 or over, he would be considered tall.

5'8 was the average height for a man during the 1950s, and we should remember that this guy grew up during the Great Depression, which ended when he was roughly 16, so it's quite possible he didn't reach his full adolescent potential due to malnourishment. Frankly, I think the only reason he manages to lift that prisoner with one hand the way he does is because he's off his tits on whatever drugs Murkoff gives them. He certainly doesn't look strong enough to do it without a little enhancement.

But that's just my hypothesis, people can obviously enjoy him and depict him however they like, I'm not the fun police. I just like to gather evidence and show it to everyone like some sort of academic magpie. This is all in good fun

When your teacher is not only a non-sunbathing person, but also comes from a cold country… Oh no….

Sachi loves warm weather, but Diana, on the contrary, loves snow. Especially to go out almost naked in winter to "swim in the snow" and then return to the sauna where the temperature is above 120 degrees…

Do you have more Moby Dick: Modern Translation chapters anywhere that certain interested parties (me and everyone with taste) could read?

In reference to this translation of Moby Dick into insufferable modern idiom, in which Ishmael is suddenly shown up in a startling light as a person we’ve actually met and knew well but didn’t really like:

I’m sorry, I haven’t written any more of that! After chapter 1’s mad rush of energy, the book tackles more tricky, boring and unfunny content, including passages that are just uncomfortably problematic in any time; and, like, entire chapters about listening to a church sermon.

A line translation (and that is mostly a very faithful line translation! The only thing I regret not doing was perfectly capturing the fart joke!) apparently has a lot of educational value, and helps to reframe the whole novel. That’s worthy work! But i simply wouldn’t want to do a line translation on the next few chapters. My brain is picking daisies instead, already. I would say: “sorry, I’m abridging this for my own mental health. You’re eligible for a free refund.” In which case the educational value is negligible (you can just read the plot summary online. There’s a really big whale in it.)

Anyone else who wants to take a stab at it (FROM HELL’S HEART) would be welcome and I’ll gladly promote your efforts. It’s just. I am going

Noko The Stray

A young man with the lost gaze of someone who has never known a home. Silent and reserved, he always seems on the verge of a breakdown, like a stray animal that has learned to distrust human hands. His movements are clumsy, almost erratic, and his body language screams a mixture of caution and resignation. He doesn’t speak much, and when he does, his words are tinged with melancholy and a quiet hopelessness.

Not so deep inside, Noko hides a feverish and deeply troubling obsession with Eden. The one who once offered him a fleeting moment of warmth amidst the hell that has surrounded him since childhood. The first person to have ever showed compassion for him and try to do something about it. He's only reason to believe he still has a purpose in this life.

Though, after Eden scaped to the forest, for years, Noko lived solely for his memory, for the promise of finding him again. And after ten long years, when he finally did—he didn't dare approach.

He thought he was not worthy of existing in the same space as him. Not yet. So he contented himself with watching in silence, following his steps, breathing his air day after day, until one night he can surrender completely. He let himself be captured, let himself be claimed. Because he has always belonged to him.

Love Interest: Eden.

To Noko, Eden is the center of his universe. His love is absolute, desperate, and suffocating—willing to consume him just to be seen, to be loved in return. And he's uncapable of measuring how much he is loved in return.

With a deep lack of emotional permanence, he constantly needs reassurance from Eden, but is too afraid to ask for it, not wanting to be tiring nor a burden for the love of his life. It's an endless cycle, but as long as Eden is satisfied, he absolutely will be.

Eden recognizes him as a skittish, scruffy small animal, and thinks he cannot get more adorable than that. Something Noko is, at first, deeply confused about, but never questions it as he loves being perceived this way by Eden.

At the same time, Eden has gotten glimpses of how intense Noko's mental unstability can be. And even if he's rough and a little impatient about it, he does try to help him and be a better safe space for him. Still, in present day, Eden still finds worrying how often Noko gets nosebleeds, specially when he's around, and specially when they have sex.

Noko, after Eden told him something unusually cute.

Relationship with my other PCs

Kahil. He's afraid of him. He's well aware of his reputation in the orphanage as an enforcer and always runs when he sees him. He also doesn't like how close he is to Whitney.

Lei. He's worried about their relationship with Avery. Tried to warn them but couldn't get a single word across. Thinks they're really pretty though.

Silas. He might be more scared of him rather than Whitney. Evil, evil, evil.

Have you drawn any other DoL characters?👀👀

I drew both Eden and Kylar before these are old and I hate them now. Tbh I just draw my faves (which are like... literally 3 characters.) I need to draw a proper version of fem!Kylar. By the way, if any of you want me to try drawing any other DoL character, send me an ask (PCs are accepted too! Just don't get sad if I don't get to draw them pls.)

So, are Machete and Vasco both from Naples? As Italian, I can now imagine them talking with some kind of accent :)

Machete is originally from Sicily! But he hasn't been there since he was little. Vasco's family is from Florence.

Vasco's Tuscan accent is deeply rooted and clearly noticeable, but Machete is a lot harder to pin down. He strives to sound as impersonal and formal as possible, which renders his form of speech kind of stiff and flavorless. He's always been reasonably good at absorbing languages though, so I'd like to say that he can communicate in several of the major Italian dialects/languages if necessary. In work matters he readily switches to ecclesiastical Latin.

Maybe his southern origins show up more clearly whenever he's off-duty and his mask of soulless professionalism is a little looser or something.

we need to collectively start shaming people for talking about anything related to economics a LOT more. if someone starts talking about inflation, ask them to explain what that is. interest rates- who controls that- more importantly, how? to what end? what are tariffs supposed to do? how do labor and wages effect supply and demand? what is a market? a job market??

literally no one actually knows anything they’re talking about AT ALL, and if someone’s telling you they can accurately predict what’s going to happen they’re plain lying. real experts will admit there are major flaws in the data feeding several key models and indicators. even with perfect data collection methods (impossible to achieve), we still wouldn’t be sure of anything. that’s not how economic controls work.

the average person has less than zero economic literacy and I mean less than zero because they’ll insist on talking about it anyway and that shit has a negative impact. when they do it, make them look stupid- ask them to break it down like you’re a child, keep asking for more clarity, go deeper. ask for their sources, ask for their sources sources, ask if they were educated in economics and where and in what focus. Fucking grill them. and when they can’t demonstrate real comprehension, ask them why they’d vote based on something they don’t actually understand.
