small shitty 17776 animatic. you ever think how nine thought they were human at first

[polswiss]

after reading @safercanenein 's why juice (17776) is not french i made my own analysis that also looks into my very limited knowledge of jon bois and americentrism

I know I'm late to the post OP but I enjoyed reading this analysis and I wanna join the discussion as I've just finished reading the webseries.

Yap and headcanons below.

It's very clear 17776 was written by an American for an American audience. SBnation is an American site that I probably never would have visited if not for 17776. I do kinda understand that my British self was not the intended audience, but I do still think that having Juice - an ESA probe - RIGHT THERE was such a missed opportunity to talk about Europe and the rest of the world within the series. You're right, there could even have been opportunities to explore cultural differences in sports across the Atlantic!

I've always taken American dystopian and/or sci-fi and wondered what's happening in the rest of the world. I was excited seeing that question in Nine's question log, but it was sadly never answered. Which is such a shame considering how much Juice comments on the fact that he's French. Besides a few offhanded jokes like that, France (or any other country outside America) may as well not exist in the universe. And that's an issue I have with a lot of American sci-fi.

I really enjoyed Juice's commentary on Ten's perspective of capitalism compared to his own (chapter 10). I like to think that's part of the "onboard memories" being influenced by the people who built them. I did also did notice in 20020 chapter 6, Juice approved the game plans from Manny in French. Small detail that I thought was cool, and shows again that Juice does still consider himself to be French when it comes to things that aren't conversational. I wish there was more of that. Even if we got to see his system logs and they were in French or something.

It seems completely plausible to me that all the probes are multilingual anyway (from picking up on broadcasts from worldwide). I hc they probably get to choose their own voices, too. So Juice actively chose to have a Southern American accent when speaking English. He liked observing Americans, he thinks the Southern accent is cool. Sounds about right.

The idea of Juice just being an "Americaboo" is sooo funny to me and fits perfectly with the comedy of the series. Maybe there are other ESA space probes out there that talk about how insane he is for following American football instead of rugby or "real football". I'd love to see something like that, even just as a one off bit.

Today Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer is a third of the way to the Jovian system. He is currently using his high gain antenna as a sun shield. Telemetry is promising and he is full of vigor.

Today Pioneer 9 is silent. They carry on in a heliocentric orbit at 0.8 AU, and are likely still in the same, stable, spinning orientation they have been in for 58 years.

Today Pioneer 10 is dead. She is some 21 billion kilometers out, under a tenth of the way to the Oort cloud. She is no longer aligned with Earth, and the Sun looks to her like any other star in the sky.

details for the Ten piece since i like it the most :3 vvv

The worst part about reading 17776 is now I'm feeling maternal for a space probe that was declared inactive 17 years before I was even born.

ah shoot stop stop you gotta rewind the song i forgot to imagine the animatic to the good part!

[animusbell]

you can't come to my birthday party? aw dang, (remembers it's bad to guilt trip people) this doesn't matter to me at all (remembers to demonstrate that i am affected by you to affirm your positive presence in my life) but while you're away i will die (remembers not to guilt trip again) unpreventably. unrelated to you. don't worry about it. (remembers to express care through actions and not just words) you're in the will.

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP

[hiveswap]

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

[midnight-revolucion]

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.
