Thank you to @hano0onat for bringing this to life! I love it soooo much! Ever since reading this scene @arixabell's fic "Divine Judgement" I just couldn't let it go: it's modern AU with flower seller Dion and bookseller Joshua, and what would happen if they got their hands on a halberd and Joshua had to carry it while riding on the back of Dion's scooter. 😂 The fic is just as cute as this art and can be found here https://archiveofourown.org/works/53355679/chapters/135036457

The writers of expedition 33 were playing 4D chess with my ass the entire game but no moment made that as clear as how they introduced painted Verso
Narratively, you have a major character death followed directly by the introduction of a new character that joins the party. Everyone's already devastated enough by the loss of the first character and the circumstances of that loss that they either instinctively don't trust Verso or are flat out too torn apart to give a true shit about him beyond what he can help them accomplish in the short term.
Game-wise, you have a player who has already invested hours in one character, who is presented more or less as the main/player character for the first act of the story. Not only does the cutscene whallop you in the usual ways (the music, the acting, all 10/10), it also compounds the emotionality by immediately replacing that character with another, similar-but-not-quite-right character that a lot of players also instinctively don't like or trust.
"You're telling me you're killing my loveable character and immediately swapping him out for another one that inherits a very similar play style, role in the party, who uses the same weapons? One who even looks a bit like the old one? You expect me to be okay with the bait and switch and continue on as normal?
No way! Fuck this guy! This imposter!"
Imposter. That's the word that keeps coming up over and over when I see clips of people playing the transition between finishing act I and starting act II. "You're not Gustave. You could never be him. How dare you stand where he stood. Fuck you."
I said these words aloud! To myself! Through my tears and my grief, just like so many other players did. And you know what I realized after the reveal at the end of act II?
The writers made the player feel how painted Verso feels about himself. That he's an imposter. A fraud. Not fit to take the place of the one that died: not Gustave, not the real Verso. Only worth as much as his utility: to the party, who wants revenge and the end of the gommage; to the player, who wants to beat the game; to Aline, who wants to stem the bleeding wound of her grief by any means necessary.
Anyway. This is what I mean when I say video games have the ability to be the most poignant and meaningful form of human artistic expression if all the elements align just so. The writers could have told you about how painted Verso sees himself through cutscenes and dialogue (which they do) but they also (imo deliberately) chose to make you feel it yourself, as the player. The disgust and the distrust and the indignation. It's brilliant and heartbreaking and I will never not be thinking about it.
hands down the funniest messages in me3
I love this message from Tali too
Yes Garrus and Shepard are like the crazy heated kids in that trio friends lol
"I just wanted to live this lifetime together."
hiii, anyone else feeling absolutely emotionally destroyed by the hit game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Thank you so much to those who had been waiting for them to meet each other! Between so many things in real life, getting sick, and pacing the releases well, I honestly didn't take it'd take almost 2 months before I can release this part of the comic. I am sincerely sorry for making everyone wait for so long, and I can only hope I could keep a more consistent pacing from here on out.
With that, enjoy the episode!

Chapter List
Fanfic Bookclubs and sharing comments
I've seen a few posts about how fics are being read in private discords and the author never even knows (no comments, no kudos, nothing).
I wanted to share about the fanfic bookclub that I'm a part of because I think it is run really well. It's super fun, and we do share with the author, and I feel like it creates a lot of positivity in the community.
What we do:
Our Discord has a Bookclub channel with a link to a Google Form document where any discord member can submit links to fics. In our case, since our server is dedicated to a specific ship, we have a rule that the fic must be about that ship, and also that the fic must be complete.
A random number generator helps pick the next fic. A meeting’s chosen fics may include: 1) a size-able one shot, 2) multiple short fics, 3) a few chapters of a longer fic, with subsequent meetings on subsequent chapters, or 4) a few chapters of a longer fic plus a very short fic. There is a little juggling required based on fic lengths to figure out how many to fit in a week, but our thoughtful mod only bases it on fic length, not on submitter, title, author, or tags.
We read fics of all different ratings, but we understand that some members have tags/tropes they don't like. Members simply choose to attend or not attend based on the tags and based on their availability. Easy peasy.
We meet once a week. Timezone can be a problem, and definitely it is not a time that will be accessible for everyone. We initially tried to have two meetings to accommodate all timezones, but did not have enough attendance. But like with all global things, we just do our best.
The conversation focuses on the positive. Things we loved, things we thought were clever or funny or such delicious angst. There may be general conversation about how frequently we see this headcanon in fics (and that's a fun thing), etc. There may be some questions like "I found this confusing...what did this mean?" but there is no critique.
(The conversations often include some readers pointing out themes or easter eggs or some interesting details that others may have missed…truly, it is so fun)
One person volunteers to take notes the old-fashioned-way..typing! Not via AI or any other recording. The notes do not show who said what, so that people can feel comfortable speaking.
Sometimes the author joins if they are able to, which is super fun! If the author is not a member of the discord, we may invite them, especially if anyone knows them, but we don't actively reach out because we don't want the author to feel overly pressured. But we are always extra excited to have an author join.
Since we intend to share our discussion with the author, we keep all the notes positive and focused on the fic. We do not put anything that came up in conversation that is not relevant (like if we talk about other fics or HCs outside the fic).
The notes are posted into the author's comment box in ao3.
Reblog if you don't use Generative AI to write fanfics/original fics or to create fanart/original art.
Reblog if you’d rather give yourself papercuts between each of your fingers and then rub hand sanitizer all over your hands than use generative AI to write or draw anything ever
