hang on. im shifting into isaac brooks mode @forecastsaysrain - Tumblr Blog

this is an “isaac brooks is a trans woman her egg just hasn’t cracked yet” blog btw

#isaac brooks #if u were wondering why i use she/her when talking abt isaac this is why #Literally even before i got this obsessed with isaac i knew i KNEW she was trans #I have a whole happy ending au about her prodigal son arc post-high school except instead of coming back to her parents #She comes back to the one trans woman in town who kept an eye out for her for reasons neither of them acknowledged #unwitness protection program #jrwi #Trans woman specifically because i also believe her egg wouldnt crack until she’s in her late twenties at LEAST

I’m sure this is old news but hey jrwi team member who made the character sheets. I’d like to have a fucking word with you about putting a church and a window specifically on isaac’s page????????????

#THE NOISE I MADE WHEN I LOOKED CLOSE ENOUGH TO NOTICE.#Norah has a flute and the staff of aesclepius and a spider #And will has an eye and a ghost and a.#Hang on #Ok i know that’s supposed to be will-o-wisps but that looks so much like the Gavinners G #From klavier’s necklace specifically in aa4 #I was so confused for a moment lmfao #ANYWAYS.#isaac brooks #jrwi #unwitness protection program

i cannot believe i only just a couple hours ago discovered the extended version off upp1.1’s intro. I DIDNT KNOW NORAH WRITES FIC…. SHE HASNT BEATEN THE GAME BUT SHE’S ALREADY WRITING FOR IT… shes soooooo me fr fr

AND IT GOES ON FOR SO LONG???? WHY WOULD THEY CUT THIS MUCH GOLD OUT OF THE YT VERSION. i'd feel robbed but i willingly paid for exactly this. like WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY HAVE AN EXTENDED DISCUSSION ABOUT THERIANS ON THE WAY TO THE CORNER STORE

#i love them SO SO MUCH #also yes it took me all day just to listen to the beginning. i have to go SO SLOW with this show or it Does Things To Me #unwitness protection program #NORAH HAD A BLOG ABOUT BEING THERIAN... ALL OF THEM HAVE AT LEAST TRIED IT...#well i guess we don't know for sure abt lui but imo he would have done a lot of research into it #and tried out a couple things to see if any of it clicked #probably he looked into it because norah and will and isaac were getting into it but ultimately i think he decided it's not for him

a not-actually-isaac moment that i think still really perfectly sums her up is the very first roll of UPP, where condi asks if he can make a really bad roll into a fumble for the sake of a narrative that hasn't even begun yet, despite not knowing the consequences of a fumble in Call of Cthulu. It's exactly how Isaac operates—even if she doesn't know how something will make her parents react when it inevitably gets back to them, she's always willing to do something ill-advised if it has even a chance of helping someone else out.

entire upp gang microdosing divorced parents via ending up leaving about 1/3 of their belongings in the wisps basement and never remembering whats there and whats at home

#this so perfectly sums up my thoughts towards will’s feelings on friendship and family but i can’t really elaborate #Just. Yeah ok so you’re a misunderstood goth kid paranormal paranoid investigator #But you’re also the safe haven. Even when you put them in danger.#Yeah their lives suck to varying degrees in varying ways outside All This but they will always have you and they will always have the basem #Gestures at this post. I cant verbalize the connections rn. You can imagine them.#Jrwi #william wisp #unwitness protection program #Do you think they all have like. Not labeled boxes nothing quite so official #But there’s like. The box on top of the pile in the corner is where isaac’s stuff lives bc she’s the tallest one #And lui’s gets mixed in with will’s crap by the couch #And norah carefully sets her things on the one clear patch of table that isn’t covered in boxes and junk

UPP keeps giving me late 90s early 00s horror book vibes so I think I have to draw book covers for it now oh nooooo

This scene was gnarly

#The framing/composition in this is fucking DIABOLICAL btw #Jrwi #unwitness protection program #norah fleetwood #isaac brooks #william wisp

Whenever I feel like taking emotional damage I think about how out of any place in the world, Isaac Brooks probably felt safest in the Wisp family basement. If home is the place you feel the most yourself and most at ease, I’d imagine that was his

deadwooded

Alt version

#Isaac brooks #jrwi #unwitness protection program #ive been on a week long binge of emotional damage in this way it’s been great #There is no end in sight #(sobbing and wishing i could hug her just once please let me into deadwood mr bizly so i can give her one good solid hug)

the other thing about Isaac screaming GET AWAY FROM ME!! at her dad is. Like. We so rarely hear her get scared like that. She tries to bargain with or explain herself to people with power over her all the time but I think we only heard her vocalize in fear like… twice? Maybe three times total before that? Depends what you count but I’m thinking of her muffled screaming when the cockroaches swarm her and the noise she made when Will dropped her dad’s chicken. I’d have to rewatch or read the transcripts to remember any others. But that also means her screaming at her father’s possessed corpse is the first time we’ve heard her be scared enough to SPEAK it and it’s after she gets trapped in a car with an angry abusive parent, crashed into a tree, and is actively trying to fight her way out. She’s sixteen!!! Her fear threshold is way too fucking high for THAT to be the line!!! Even the dice reinforce that bit of story with only one sanity damage like THIS IS A FUCKING INSANE SITUATION ANYONE ELSE WOULD BE HOLLERING THEIR HEAD OFF. YOUR FRIENDS WOULD BE SCREAMING THEIR LUNGS OUT. but she just has one panicked GET AWAY FROM ME!! and then more begging.

#i also have many constant thoughts on the way isaac’s voice is frequently ignored and muffled #It’s going in the essay #isaac brooks #james brooks #jrwi #unwitness protection program

#William wisp #his stupid ‘genocide ending was my first ending in undertale’ self is literally this and i love him #Jrwi #unwitness protection program

i think condi should have a nerf gun every jrwi episode from here on out and everytime the dm even mildly annoys him, he gets to shoot. and also they should employ someone to bring him more ammo whenever he runs out.

#That was fr fucking hysterical #jrwi #the worst dnd module

Sorry I fear I am never going to get over that "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!". Condi did a truly fantastic job there, I know his favorite thing to do when voicing a character is screaming (shoutout jin my life my love <333) but there was a rawness to that one line that gave me chills when I first heard it. He really, truly sounds like a terrified teenager, one who's alone and has already had bad past experiences with situations similar to the one he's presently in. Isaac Brooks feels real, and you feel just as terrified for him as he is. Improv is an incredible form of art, and Condi is a master of it- his characters have a way of flying under the radar until you realize just how many layers they have, how complex they are, how real they feel. And on that note, I do find that his characters (no matter how outlandish) tend to be the most grounded in reality, which I appreciate a lot- even Vyncent somehow manages to feel like a person you might see walking down the street, despite his origin.

Isaac is a very special character, and I truly hope we get to see more of him in the future; this kid is someone I could see at my school, someone I could be friends with- in fact I already have several friends like him- and that hurts my heart. Condi truly shines in the most human moments of JRWI. His characters are understated (and underrated), but they are some of my favorite characters in any piece of media I've seen, perhaps even because of that. It'd be nice to see more Condi appreciation this year ^_^ he's a really great guy and I love his characters!

On an unrelated note, I feel like Isaac's gotta cut his hair at some point, just from a characterization perspective. Which sucks because I like his stupid bun and undercut and so does he but. The Horrors

#THAT VOICE ACTING HAS BEEN LITERALLY PLAYING ON LOOP IN MY HEAD FOR THE PAST FORTY HOURS.#also i think she cuts her hair when she turns eighteen and drops everything and everyone to leave this fucking town #something something carving parts of herself off to get away away away #but she ends up growing it even longer #isaac brooks #i could also see her cutting her hair (or having it cut off by someone else) during a case but thats like. Man that would just be horrific.#Which tbf! Is the point!#Jrwi #unwitness protection program

also note to self thoughts on james brooks’s aggression abuse vs eleanor brooks’s distant abuse I JUST NEED TO HAVE WORDS WITH THEM except i dont because that would make jt worse

forecastsaysrain

i need ruby miller to be real.

ok an overview of this bc i cant wait until my work shift is over i cant anymore. I dont think james hits her but he threatens to. he throws things. he manhandles isaac and physically controls her freedom of movement (the window, the car) and is generally an overwhelming presence in isaac’s life that’s constantly threatening to crush her like an anvil even when he’s not physically there. He’s long since given up on her but he won’t leave her alone why can’t he just leave her alone it would be so much easier to be alone than to deal with the shit james pulls.

and then eleanor is like. She still reaches out to isaac, once in a blue moon. She asks her to come home and cries when she sees isaac safe at will’s but it’s all done at such a distance. everything about her screams of a woman who has folded herself up so small and tucked herself so far away from everything that she doesn’t have the capacity to know or care about the things she’s implicit in. Isaac can stand in front if her as they walk home from church and she won’t look at her. Isaac can stand right next to her and wash the dishes and she won’t reach out until isaac begs her to understand that she’s not trying to be like this. Sometimes it would hurt less to be bruised i think than what eleanor does

#But she loves them anyways because. Thats her parents. Shes sixteen and the first fourteen or so years were good #And thats her parents. They may have upended her whole life but thats her PARENTS and isaac is i think ultimately a person who cares so dee #ly #about the people in her life #Even if they dont seem to or outright dont care back #I think a lot of disres and a LOT of empty graves is her realizing the lack of reciprocation and grappling with it #Anyways.#eleanor brooks #james brooks #isaac brooks #It’s a perfect storm of a fucked up family #how much time do you think isaac spends protecting bella #Jrwi #unwitness protection program

UNWITNESS THE HORRORS!!

#This was one of the first pieces of upp fanart i saw and it remains my favorite #It feels like a cover or poster of a movie i would never have heard of besides seeing that poster #And then when i watch it it changes me forever #Which is to say. This inspires similar emotions to the ones that led me to watch upp in the first place.#Jrwi #unwitness protection program #William wisp #norah fleetwood #isaac brooks

listened to Worth the Cost and 1) YEAH. 2) holy fuck milo your voiceeeeee the way this is mixed/produced even the blurry softness of how this was filmed… 3) when all goes grey you’ll hear my call is an INSANE line. Does norah fucking die???? Is she referencing will’s canon backstory death and saying yeah and it’ll be me you see beyond the veil when you step through???????

#prev you never have to apologize for autism i love u autistic people forever and always #and also I WAS WONDERING ABT THAT. Bc the line i put in the post was copied from the description of the video #but even when i was reading it as she sang i was like. This does not sound like the words she wrote down.#but i couldn’t figure out what was actually being said so i figured i was just mishearing it and wrnt w the lyrics in the desc #STILL AN INSANE LINE although in a very different way #hey you’re one of my best and only friends. I know you’ll die before letting go. So please listen #when it goes grey aka just before it goes black and is too late #if you never listen to me another time please listen to me then #norah fleetwood #william wisp #unwitness protection program #jrwi
