Silksong Master Refs

NPCs (Major/Minor Characters)

Compendium (All enemies, multiple sprites for some)

Inventory: Abilities, Upgrades, Keys, Skills, Tools, Crests, Materium, Bellhome furniture, etc. (available as 3 individual images or one massive image)

Full Res Download: Google Drive

I needed to put a final stamp on this and post it before I started adding anything else, I'm going in circles

Gone is the neat and orderly format of my HK refs, here are my new terrifying Silksong refs. These were assembled in PureRef, a couple of these item/NPC sprites I had to piece together from individual pieces (The desk sprite and Nyleth's fountain)

Thank you so much to the HK wiki contributers who upload NPC and idle sprites, saved me some fucking digging

There's so many enemies, NPCs, and items in this game that it was truly a nightmare to assemble/organize all of this and undoubtedly I've forgotten something. Like with the HK items ref, I'll just update the image in the drive if that happens

America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)

[charlesoberonn]

To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.

They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.

[charlesoberonn]

The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.

BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.

The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.

I think this model is the best one for several reasons:

It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups

It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.

It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader

[charlesoberonn]

This is a great example of Thought Control used by cults whenever they’re confronted with criticism.

#you might notice that there are a lot of similarities between cult techniques and those of abusive partners#and that is an important thing to be aware of

yah that goes in the post

[charlesoberonn]

The creator of the BITE Model considers abusive relationships to be two-person cults.

[forgotn1]

It’s important to note that almost every sect of evangelical christianity in the US today fails the BITE Model.

This was the post that lead to breaking my JW mindset. Been a while since I seen it.

[charlesoberonn]

I’m glad I could help in your deconstruction, if only a little bit. I wish you all the luck in your journey moving forward.

[bogleech]

I feel this also applies to some degree of absolutely anything that revolves around a central figure of any kind, at all, and even when it doesn’t match all the criteria it always matches enough of it to be a problem. Any movement of people rallying around any given politician, for example, as some sort of idol who will fix everything rather than just a human utility to serve a needed function.

Magas, bernie bros, the Hillary Clinton rebrand of feminism, doesn’t matter, you’re already halfway to a cult the minute you can name a person’s name at the “top” of an ideology.

You and your own feelings are the only valid source of your own morals. Other people can be your equals to learn from but no one is your actual superior, that’s a fake concept altogether. All leaders are nobodies who got lucky. No one is rich or powerful because they’re better or smarter than you are. You always know just as well as anyone who’s ever been a president or billionaire or pope or dictator and you have equal capacity to know far, far better than all of them. :)
