Propaganda

Anna Limon (Mabel):

She uses masculine titles. Her girlfriend refers to her as Saint and king. She overthrew the king of the underhill and replaced him. Shes so sexy. The sexiest.

Sibling Rane (The Silt Verses):

According to HROwen, the VA, they are ripped and dressed very sluttily at all times

GO RANE VOTE RANE!!!!! They stuck by their doomed crush throughout his mental breakdown up until the very moment he drowned them, and before that they shadow-ran the cult he started!

so guess who’s listening to the Silt Verses in an attempt to fill the Archival-shaped hole in my life

in all honesty it’s absolutely incredible my god

Spoilers for the Silt Verses episodes 1-7

————

3-oh wow that’s fantastic lesson-never invite a thunder god (or really any god) into your house. He was traumatised really no kidding. Everyone wants a personal relationship with the divine but no one is equipped to deal with the consequences. Wow human sacrifice is such a vibey normal thing round here. Everyone here is so religious (really shocked tone) don’t forget your gunnnn. licensing a god is such an interesting (but not super new) idea. That sense of unshackle righteousness that every police officer needs. “Ramblers” Hayward is smart and knows what to say. You understand it’s just semantics if you’re gonna tell me your shotgun killed them. | I thought people were supposed to leave notes for each other.

4-I am horrified and ill and Faulkner is fine

5-Dude take a note from Peter and Elias divorce brings you closer AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am fine and not freaked out me when I see the trigger warnings for extreme body horror and am still am shocked at being horrified

6-do NOT turn me into a saint

7-this is one of the most terrifying dystopias I’ve ever seen Jesus Christ imagine corporatism but actually fearing for your lives. The sacrifices screaming louder than ever.

"average audio drama has 5 characters of all time" factoid actually just statistical error. average audio drama has 1 character of all time. silt verses georg, whose whole cast is characters of all time, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.”

The Silt Verses does such interesting things with its criticism and commentary on amatonormativity. It’s no coincidence that the main character is an aromantic woman out of step with the expectations of her society in more ways than one—or that we learn about her aromanticism in the same episode as we see a woman honeypot her boyfriend into being sacrificed. Love as a weapon; later, we see the weaponization of love-saints—love isn’t special, love can destroy you just like anything else. Love as a threat: Shrue maybe having a spouse and family made up as a tool to hold over their head.

The parallels between Carpenter and the Promised Bride. The Promised Bride story as a reflection on choice and control and becoming, and the Promised Bride story later getting twisted into an amatonormtive story of romance to make for better government propaganda. Paige rebranding herself the Widow of Wounds in a similar way, inventing a story of a dead lover, to spread the Many Below’s message in a way that’s easier to swallow than a principled political stance (sparked by the death of a friend). Amatonormativity as comforting and familiar and following expected narratives that make for easier propaganda.

Amatonormativity in Roemont’s comment that they should give Faulkner a dramatic deathbed love declaration to sell the story when they get rid of him. The whole motel episode raising the question of why we’re primed to feel that romantic love makes someone more “deserving” of a happy ending. There’s a LOT going on in The Silt Verses and amatonormativity is just one of the things but oh boy is TSV interested in it in a way I so rarely see!

I know sometimes town names, especially English town names (and as we all know, this is deliberately a very sardonically English podcast) are just like this,

but I also want to know if this town name has anything to do with the uh, region of the Big Man on which it is located.
