shadow milk fatigue is real, I’m afraid

I like that guy as much as the next person, but the amount of promo/videos/etc he’s getting is like eating the same food over and over again. You might love the food starting out, but you’re gonna get sick and/or want something else eventually.

This isn’t from a story perspective btw, though part of it bleeds into that. I’m moreso talking about exposure by Devsis themselves. I fully believe the marketing team are capable of letting other characters have spotlight, this isn’t about in game narrative or anything. but they know which one draws the most attention. they will keep making shadow milk cookie youtube videos and miscellaneous promos with shadow milk cookie in it. people will continue to eat it up. and good for them! but some people will also grow tired of seeing him

[cuppajj]

Pure vanilla is a casualty of this overexposure, imo. With Shadow Milk everywhere, the quickest and easiest thing to guarantee more eyes is to put him with his ancient counterpart. the great thing about pure vanilla is that he's friendlier and less bombastic, so he's easier on people. I haven't really seen people complaining about too much PV everywhere.

the problem is that he's a little too attached to shadow milk's hip at the moment. their dynamic is fun, but Pure Vanilla has characterization outside of being Shmilk's adversary (let alone his plight with White Lily, but i digress). And the more you keep mashing these two together over and over and over, the more tired it gets. Pure Vanilla is associated with Shadow Milk and vice versa, and when people are already tired of one character, the other, by association, risks that too. Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla get butts in seats, pencils on paper, and tags in the algorithm. But at what cost to either of them, and to the people (us) constantly seeing them?

like using the food analogy again, some people can be content with eating the same spaghetti with marinara day in and day out. but some people want fettuccine alfredo or pesto tortellini. shake it up a bit before everyone gets tired of your pasta

Last thing I’ll say, I think

Pertaining to Shadow Milk’s role in the narrative: You can have an elaborate plan for a story years and years in advance and still fumble the execution

Even if Shadow Milk has been built up for a long time, which I don’t doubt to a degree, the way Devsis have been presenting him in-game and out is not appealing to everyone. Which, of course it isn’t, as nothing can appeal to everyone—but the issue is that they seem very excited, a little too excited to push their character out into the world.

It’s like if during Gravity Falls’s run, Bill Cipher got tons of official promos and episodes where he spent half the runtime monologuing. Then Disney put his face on all their marketing material. Surely Alex Hirsch had a very detailed plan for Bill walking in, but with him being literally inescapable, people grow tired of seeing him. The mystique of Bill Cipher came from how little of him we saw despite his importance to the lore. Shadow Milk had that potential but it was pretty much squandered after chapters 7 and 8. (imo, Shadow Milk was at his most engaging and mystical when we had less of him. The time between his introduction in BY 1 and 2 up to BY 7 and 8, when his presence was strong but not too overbearing)

Shadow Milk’s staying power is undermined by how Devsis chose to write him and promote him. In game, he is extremely dependent on long dialogues and/or lots of screentime, to the detriment of most other characters in the same scene as him. In promotional material, Devsis are getting dependent on him to make money. We’re seeing him everywhere, and while some people will eat it up, a lot of others won’t—and therein lies the diminishing impact of the years of planning the writers had done for this character. No matter how detailed your story is, a reader can still drop the book at any time

TLDR: Shadow Milk would ironically benefit from being in the spotlight less. Devsis’s overdependency/overenthusiasm to promote their new golden boy has the potential to do more harm for their narrative than good

i proper messed up my arm drawing a custom outfit for Zer0! it looks so so good though, worth it.

Just as a ginormous fuck you to Zerum and the Pressure dev team let’s all collectively turn Sebastian into our OC. He’s like Hatsune Miku now do whatever you want every version of him is canon

Pressure as a community isn’t dead, but the game itself is. You have the power to make it into something of your own. Go wild, my friends. Turn it into everything the devs never wanted it to be.
