THE TESTAMENTS 1.05 "Ball"

[ghastlycrew]

it's just that. it's so fucking important that the linguist bails on the expedition before the novel. the written word fails in area x. it becomes one of the most chilling modes of cosmic incomprehensibility in area x. the biologist's written account is a self-admitted failure. she is nameless. where lies the strangling fruit is all the more terrifying for the fact that it is in a recognizable language with an inscrutable meaning. the journals are ROTTING in the lighthouse, ink running and turning into decaying organic matter along with everything else. no one is named. the novel begins with a pointless semantic debate that everyone is fiercely invested in regarding the tower/tunnel nomenclature. no one has a name. they are instrumentalized to their professions. when she encounters the crawler, the biologist immediately compares it to an encounter with the "destroyer of worlds," a "more apt" name for the starfish than its scientific nomenclature.

"what an inadequate name i had chosen for it—the crawler."

this novel is just as (if not more) concerned with how area x heralds the failure of language, not just the failure of scientific inquiry

Watching Zac sliently wheeze laugh for at least five minutes during the "You don't talk to Beth that way!" scene was maybe my favorite part of the entire episode.

He's five hundred years old. He's incurably silly. He's a fashion icon. He pushes people out of planes. His next ritual idea is 'something to do with space'. He fucks with people constantly. His name is Simon Fairchild, and he is the moment.

The Federal Bureau of Control is the funniest version of the SCP Foundation ever created because, yes, much like the Foundation they're the only thing between humanity and total, random annihilation by extremely stupid anomalies, but unlike in the Foundation the rate of utter stupidity in their ranks is so skewed that some of their top researchers genuinely had the research proposal of "Why don't we feed Alan Wake's writing into AI and try to prompt it to make nice things?", only for Alan, from the Dark Place, to write a manuscript basically asking them "Are you this fucking stupid or is this performative?" And then everyone involved fucking died.

The real horror of Authority is not Area X, it's being trapped at a lunch table while your work nemesis loudly recounts one of your worst fuck ups to your colleagues

[windypuddle]

control would do numbers on tumblr hes so shaking scared crying pathetic man resistant to the change growing inside him and taking over so smoothly he cant do anything about it. and hes even infatuated with someone whos only a copy of a real woman and might not be made of human flesh at all and also has more important things to do and thinks hes lame and boring and his mind is too small to grasp area x

You know what, I’d like him better this way.

[medusadyke]

academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches

[medusadyke]

"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell

I'm afraid they'll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become medical professionals who don't know what they're doing - and people will die.

The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter.

A throwback and build up to the present day, to which I have finished painting the part five poster. This has been four years in the making…mainly due to the fact that I needed the inspiration to hit. Although I don’t draw as much Jojo as I used to, I still love the series dearly. And research for these posters has been a lot of childhood nostalgia from old gothic novels to Drew Struzan styles movie posters.

And so for part 6 it will likely take me a long time lol…who knows. But it’ll be a lot of fun to paint!

People really do assume the FromSoft formula is just "super hard boss fights" but really it's Tall Ladies, Hidetaka Miyazaki's barely contained masochistic death fetish, incredibly hard but usually fair boss fights, community graffiti, annoying rat, even more annoying dog, walk walk fashion baby, poison swamp, bottomless pit, Large Jovial Dad Figure, jolly cooperation, Berserk Reference, and slapstick comedy.
