Inventing Reasons For The Curtains To Be Blue

~/ Nat / 23 / Fae/Faer /~ Greetings, Fellow Adventurers! This is where I'll be posting most of my Venturiantale stuff from here on out! The fandom is still alive even after everything that’s happened! It’s bittersweet, staying with this fandom, but even by the point where things came out, Taleblr was incredibly independent and went further than the channel alone. I do not support the brothers actions in any way shape or form, and if you ask me the characters are more ours than theirs and have been for awhile. “Sister” blog with the AMAZING @overanalyzingtaleblr and Sideblog for @Nat-Without-A-G

Taleblr Masterlists

How would you guys feels if I did like, a master post every week about certain characters or groups? Like, either I choose randomly or I answer a request, but I still have it come out consistently on the same time and same day (probably around noon on Saturday). It’ll just be focused on whatever I think is important or cool, and if there’s a request I’ll be sure to answer that well as soon as I can. ^^

If possible I’ll include some things of my designs as well… anyways, my ask box is open! I’ll probably just post the one I did for the TT this Saturday and work on a new one this upcoming weekend <3

Saw you in my likes! Hope you’ve been well :) -overthinkingtaleblr

I know I didnt get very far into this idea in this post about this idea but this is a very sweet ask so I wanted to say something VT related too! I'm already so so late on responding so I've kinda rushed it, I'll probs try and explore this more later. However!! I am okay and I've been well thanks for asking! :D I got in a car crash tho, but I was found not at fault and I'm entirely uninjured so that wasn't too bad. I've been struggling with college writing assignments and I usually don't have time with the communal ipad so I don't draw much (although I could just go back to drawing on my phone). I'm also sorry for being so absent, I don't check any of my socials unless I'm following a series or I have something to post and I just keep not finishing my drafts :( I hope you've been doing alright as well! I think all of your work is amazing! :D

The basis of all venturiantale characters is parody.

The Acachallas are parodies of impoverished, southern, nuclear families. Spencer is a parody of nerds, Johnny Ghost is a parody of losers, Toast is british and rich. Extreme absurdist parody is the core of all of their characters.

And all these parodies are thrown into a vacuum together, where their interactions create story and lore and their own tropes within this vacuum, that can then be even further parodied by new characters. Making another layer of seperation from reality and from the original thing being parodied in the first place.

And something I think people overlook when analysing vt characters (whether they're taking it seriously or just having fun) is that you have to consider the basis of their parody to truly understand them.

If we look at Jimmy Casket we can see that he's obviously a parody of creepypasta. And part of his bit is that his backstory is changing all the time, it's never clear why he is because it doesn't matter. He kills because it's funny, he's creepy because he's a creepypasta, his name is Casket because of course it is. It's especially why he has all those dumb catch phrases. He was never even originally attached to Johnny Ghost, not until the siblings decided to toss him in with the rest of the parodies and possessing Ghost was just the first way they found to stick him in the room (it's also ironic to make the guy named Casket possess some dude named Ghost, I mean cmon thats hilarious). All of these characters follow the most extreme version of what they parody, and even though some of these living parodies can fulfill a more "sane-man" role when interacting with each other. We can't forget that the main reason everything is so batshit crazy all the time is because the entirety of VT, is throwing a bunch of extreme parodies into a room and just seeing what happens.

But as these parodies interact with and affect each other, and as they all fall into their own tropes within this parodoxical clusterfuck, they breed even more parodies based on themselves. The entire Soup family is a parody of the Acachallas (who themselves are already parodies of - and I hate to say because not even this is accurate - the "real" world), Johnny Ghost (a parody of a total loser) who in this world of parodies finds himself to be the grouchy sane-man (although sane is far from accurate) has himself a parody, Johnny Cranky, a parody of this parody of a parody. Every new parody of every previous parody makes us stray even further from the original. The entirety of VT is several layers of seperation from the natural world until half the population is named Johnny and the other half is so absurd the only way to make sense of them is to percieve them as pseudo-eldritch entities of chaos.

As someone who's also busy with college (and still behind with assignments-- y'all will get your Spencerposts SOON i PROMISE) I completely get it. Life hits us hard sometimes.

Also oh my god the beginning?? I'm so glad you're okay?? Car accidents are genuinely so scary???? Jesus?????

Thank you for your wisdom <3
