1, 3, and 10 for the pathologic classic asks 🐀
1: favorite main character? ARTEMY PATHO1 no question about it. I know 2 wanted to create a choice for him about being able to assimilate into the Town, but the mission "what is my life worth if I don't take my father's inheritance" is so much more compelling to me... he IS worth nothing to the town and hated or disregarded until he takes the position of Warden, and the impossibility of doing that in the face of plague and the foreman and a route all about alienation from the major NPCs makes him reckless in a way that works ideally for a video game playable character. "why do you risk your life standing here before me? / because I don't value it" but through the magic of reloading saves he makes it through... the play about the "orphan-winner" as that one little boy npc calls it... and his explicit not minding being controlled by other forces encompassing not only the player, but justifying to the player the reliance on clara's miracle that you're required on day 11 to choose. there's kind of a closeness in the player's partnership with him that the other healers don't get. aglaya picks up on this as well :-)
3: dumbest way you've died so far? not a "death" so much as it was a "sent artemy to turbohell forever" but it was absolutely the time the patho2 alpha decided the ground did not have collision and caused him to fall into the void upon waking up and exiting his lair. mother boddho resigned
10: what about the game brings you the most comfort? WELL... comfort and enjoyment are very different things I'll say the part that makes me feel the most comforted is just logging into p1. walking out onto a street in the "morning" time period and hearing the little bird sound effects and utroba_main.ogg and seeing townsfolk slouching towards places & the faint patches of blue sky & knowing some of the most intricate dialogue in the world is out there to be interacted with & getting punched to death immediately. that's the pathy experience to make me smile
14. Talk about a prog rock band you like + your favorite lyrics from one of their songs 🎸✨
For the choosing violence ask game: 3, 8, & 12 for Bloodborne (or Dark Souls too if you wish) 🔥
screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr
okay well. there are many. some of them get the "mutual of my mutual" pass. but every single time someone forces me to see skinny alfred i want to gouge my eyes out. you people fucking suck why are you showing me skinny men. i don't want to see skinny women either. i'm anti-skinny and i'm especially anti-skinny alfred. muscley? fine. sure. he's dehydrated i guess he can have a six pack or whatever. but oh my god he's not a TWINK. stop showing me that sickly critter that's not alfred.
common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
i'm sorry but it's really fucking dumb to me when people talk about characters being judgemental of appearance-based traits. none of them react to that! with half the armor you can't even see the player character!!! wtf are you talking about!!!!
the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
oh who do you think i'm gonna pick huh? who do you think? do you think alfred? well you're WRONG because alfred hasn't really done anything to deserve it.
it's patches and the reason you should like patches is because he hates the church and he's really fucking funny. he's just my funny weed dealer c'mon now he even made it easy to get out of his traps in demon souls. c'mon he's not so bad i'm proud of him :) like
this is literally him like look seriously he's just a funny little guy. how can you hate that.
What do you think would happen if Frost, Kyrie, Leiurus, and Patches all went to a concert together? You pick which band they see! 🎶
i've been trying to decide since i got this ask what concert they're at and i think the only appropriate answer is korn!
some things that would happen:
lots blurry pictures
frost accidentally starts a fight in the mosh pit
patches purposefully starts a fight in the mosh pit
lots of weed partaking
leiurus learns really quickly why kyrie insisted they all bring ear plugs (overstimulation city)
kyrie intimidates someone being rude about the opening act by just glaring at them until they shut up and start cowering
patches has mixed feelings about jd's cassock
everyone has an emotional moment to a song (maybe "falling away from me"?)
frost loses their glasses while really getting into the headbanging
autism 2 autism telepathy for frost & leiurus
2, 16, & 24 for the Pathologic ask game 🐀
2. Wildest theory you’d defend?
my own theory that daniil in quarantine is absolutely correct in that the letter sent by isidor (if it was sent by isidor) was a trap. i've said this many times but the kains needed someone from outside the town to help them achieve their goals, and if you choose the utopian ending as the bachelor, then it works out perfectly for them. proof that daniil is nothing but a tool to them: not only is he not in the utopian ending, but "maria" (nina) dismisses him before the final verdict is even given.
i could and would go on but i'm afraid i'd annoy people by repeating myself.
16. Have you ever tried to explain Pathologic to the uninitiated?
yeah actually, more than once! i've actually gotten... let's see... at least six people? interested in pathologic, which has required some explaining of what it's actually about. and i have also explained it to at least three more who had no intention of playing it. explaining it can be a little difficult and i'm definitely not a salesperson, but it can be worth it.
why did i say 'actually' four times.
24. What was your craziest misconception/funniest misunderstanding while figuring out the lore?
well until yesterday i thought characters were using the term 'orgy' literally to refer to a sex party (andrey saying 'yesterday's orgy was disgusting', or something to that effect). then my buddy explained that they were using the term to refer to the outbreaks of violence. i might be autistic.
patho questions! :)
TRICK OR TREAT! 👻
you get: annihilation by jeff vandermeer! im hoping to read this soon :)
Give me an unpopular music opinion 🔥
popular music is like the number one best way to show people that sexism is still highly prevalent in society. there are so many guys out there whose voices sound like shit or whose lyrics are just the dumbest things you've ever heard, or who simply are just mediocre as musicians who wind up making it big. but for women to get a fraction of that advertising and money they have to have conventionally beautiful voices. they have to be something sellable - and i realize all fame comes with this aspect of selling yourself, all jobs under capitalism require this exploitation - but even here, men will get the same kind of adoration for less effort in appearance than women have to give. it's just... nauseating. and it's not any better in the rock scene and it sucks that it's so rare i get recs for music where it's women doing the screaming and men doing the opera in metal. you know? like i don't think you can reasonably call a subgrene subversive when you look who the most noteworthy bands are and it's like "oops! all men. and one girl because she sings pretty :)" and then every band with majority lgbt+ members is automatically queercore... well what if i want something like mastodon but everyone is a trans lesbian? idk i just don't think after a while that a subgenre is telling me anything about what i'm listening to. also. sorry this is many run-on opinions bc i took an edible earlier.
