sometimes I make art. here to indulge in nerdy stuff.

I love that Invisigal just. Wants. She wants love, she wants acceptance, she wants to feel good about herself, to feel desired and have what she desires. Yet she feels so ashamed about wanting anything, especially actual intimate emotional connection and the unfettered aid of other people

Female characters really aren’t allowed to make jokes holy shit.

Picture this: female character who is a former villain with an established tendency to use humor to cope or brush off heavy discussions, is established to hold a massive amount of self loathing. She makes a joke about how her invisibility powers are only good for watching famous people fuck. Her invisibility powers that only work while she’s actively holding her breath.

And you’re going to look me in the eyes and take that at face value. Media literacy crisis.

It pains me because most of visi's haters, definitely not all, but a large amount, are looking at her character simply at surface level. She's made bad choices and she's done bad things, but the whole entire game is that people are deeper than their actions and that growth and improvement are possible for them.

I 10000% understand disliking her, but calling her evil and a "bad person" are insane to me. Calling her "iviSAbitch" is insane to me. You are completely ignoring what the game is trying to convey.

She is such a well written character when you look even a LITTLE BIT further. She's insanely self destructive, and doesn't want people to hurt people and prevents that by hurting them. She thinks she's irredeemable. She thinks she doesn't deserve redeeming. The way she handles that isn't healthy whatsoever, but it's what she knows, and it works, for the most part.

She wants people to stop helping her because she thinks it's pointless, that she CANT change. So she does shit that makes them want to stop helping her.

You're fortunate if you don't relate to that at all.

And this is the last thing I've done for Dispatch. Thanks for all your likes, reposts, and follows!!

But I don't think I'll be drawing anything else for this fandom for now 😔

This video is pretty old; I uploaded it to TikTok back in November of that year

Just had a two hour talk with the work bestie and can I just say

I FUCKING LOVE INVISIGAL AND HOW SHE ENCAPSULATES THE THEMES OF DISPATCH

I LOVE THAT SHES A MESSY ADULT WHO STRUGGLES AND WANTS TO RUN AWAY BUT DOESNT

I LOVE THAT SHE WANTS TO FIX HER MISTAKES BUT HAS NO IDEA HOW AND FUMBLES

I lOVE THAT SHE MAKES DESPERATE BIDS FOR ATTENTION AND CONNECTION BUT IS STILL ACCEPTED BY THOSE AROUND HER

I LOVE THAT EVEN IN HER WORST ENDING SHE STILL TRIES TO FIX HER MISTAKES AT THE COST OF HER OWN REDEMPTION

Blonde Blazer hates get out >:)

as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.

Every time the Japanese treat Christian folklore with the same playfulness that westerners treat Nordic and Greek folklore, a hilariously appropriated angel gets its anime wings

I'm getting really sick of the "Dispatch was written by men" take when Mayanna Berrin, Ashley Jeffalone, and Suzee Matson are right there. Named in credits and all - but completely ignored. Berrin especially - who (non)incidentally voiced Coupe, the character most players cut because she "seemed more of a villain" than joker edgelord crypto-bro Sonar - has a hand in the writing of every episode.

There's a lot of hypocrisy in blaming your dislike of the game's female characters on supposedly bad writing by the big bad men of the gaming industry - all the while entirely erasing the contributions of female writers.

Because Blonde Blazer and Invisigal, as romanceable options to a male MC, are eternally reduced to "boring hetslop NPCs" or a Madonna/whore set by the same fans who have absolutely no problem engaging with and expanding on side characters like, say, Waterboy or Flambae. Who have, what, five to ten minutes on screen each? Which is fine, but - that's not a defect in the writing babes. That's just you. And your internalised misogyny, probably.

EVERYONE SHUT UP MY SHOW IS AWN!!

[nebulous-bounds-of-bad-taste]

having now played Dispatch, I conclude that the Invisimech haters are allergic to emotionally fraught and messy romances and are thus boring
