“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

and another thing about aloy horizon. i absolutely love the way forbidden west shows her discomfort around community with its gameplay, even if it wasn't an intended effect. the way the fov shrinks whenever you enter settlements, the much louder ambience and tighter corners, sounds you hear nowhere else in the world, the fact you can't run anywhere too fast without hitting things, the constant chattering. and then the way it all fades behind you the moment you leave, the camera zooming back out, the sigh of relief you experience because of it. all of this was present in zero dawn, but it feels so much more prominent here. the claustrophobia of it all makes you so much more single-minded whenever you're there, in the same way aloy probably is; just get in, get what you need, and get out. back into the wilds, where it's quiet and you can think. even the home base feels tight. you go there to check in on everyone, to make sure all your equipment is up to scratch, and then you leave. from a gameplay perspective you're really only ever there to tick off quest markers, and that disconnect feels very much like how i imagine aloy interpreting it. It's just very cool to have a narrative about learning to be closer to people when all the main character and the player wants to do is be alone in the wilderness.

I gotta hand it to sandler that this scene is exactly what listening to that song feels like.
