Pathologic 3 Steam Profile Backgrounds

[jane-d-ankh-veos]

is, believe it or not, a more reasonable and useful advice than

because I thought "Crimson flower? In this green district? Must be easy, indeed. Got it, I'll look for anything red."

And behold, "crimson":

Very funny, Clara. Especially when infected areas in this game feel like:

Pathologic is full of compelling and complex female characters. However, women are underrepresented and often ignored in fan content. The vast majority of posts in the Pathologic tag are about men, and there are 11.6 times as many M/M AO3 fics as F/F ones. Let's do something about it!

During Pathologic Women Week, Sep 21-27, @ninakaina and I invite you only to create and reblog Pathologic content which centers women and lesbians. Tag your works with #pathologicwomenweek, and we'll reblog them onto the @pathologicwomenweek blog.

We've included some creative prompts designed to overlap with pathologic_fest (run by @fellowtragedian). Feel free to follow one set, both, or neither. For more information about the prompts, read on :-)

Sunday, Sep 21: The Shadow Council of Local Nobility. This is how Yulia refers to herself, Eva, Maria, and Lara. Women who use subtle and creative means to influence the Town's future. This day is for content related to any, and any combination of, those four women!

Monday, Sep 22: The Kin. A day for celebrating all women of the Kin. Taya Day. Be careful not to replicate anti-Indigenous tropes here (supplementary info).

Tuesday, Sep 23: Transfemininity. This day is about trans women and envisioning Pathologic's women as trans. Transfem headcanons for "male" characters are welcome, but not simply "fem version of [character]" genderbends! You Have To Mean It. (Due to its oversaturation, Burakovsky in any form is not allowed.)

Wednesday, Sep 24: Minor NPCs. A day for non-Bound women. Townsfolk, Feverish Feeling characters, people mentioned in passing... let's give them time to shine!

Thursday, Sep 25: Children. A day for Pathologic's girls -- the Termites, townsfolk, or even younger versions of characters. Hate to have to say it, but do not sexualize the children.

Friday, Sep 26: Butch/Femme. This day is centered on butch and femme lesbian identities. This may take the form of modern AUs, or explorations of female masculinity and lesbian culture in an early 20th century setting. Doesn't have to be shipping but we absolutely encourage shipping here!

Saturday, Sep 27: The Mistresses. "Women who weave time into threads of power." This day is for the town's Mistresses (in any possible interpretation) and exploration of Mistresshood.

I have made a video talking about what the deal is with Nikolay Dybowski in a concise manner that's easier to understand for if you don't have the time/energy/mental health to read through all of the posts. Watch if you have the time ❤️

something about the "POLITICS SIMULATOR" trailer thumbnail being Alexander Block looking thoroughly exhausted and Aglaya Lilich sporting a thousand-yard stare is so funny. I, too, go through those exact emotions when discussing politics

Realizing they finally released the Bachelor route (as a standalone game, no less!)

(And also realizing it still needs a year or so in the oven as Slavic PC productions always do)
