You ever think about how Andrew believes he has to move mountains and achieve impossibilities to be worthy of basic respect and personhood, and this is a common theme in several of his skins.

Silent Boatman's "If I can just row this boat and enough people are sacrificed I can one day escape this awful placen" When no amount of sacrifice is ever going to be enough.

Space Mining's "If I can just make my big break in this movie I'll be able to star in others, instead of being doomed to obscurity in a society which puts appearances over actions." (Kind of a stretch as this is personal interpretation of Andrew in COA/Metropolis but I'm counting it anyway)

Half-elf Knight's "If I can restore the world tree then I can overcome the circumstances of my birth and be accepted by both humans and elves." Nether Pact as an extension of this, "If I can make myself useful I can attone for the wrong I have done to Zinaida and uphold justice."

Withered Leaf's "If I can find the last remaining plant seeds in the entire world and grow something in this barren earth, I can finally be allowed to die." Only for him to discard his hopes at the last moment, even after achieving his goal.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ANDREW LORE CRUMBS FROM CLEO????????

#amby rambles #idv talk #what are they Doing why does he suddenly know a French Mime #The fact he's only shown in her fantasy world and in his adult outfit is making me go ??????????? was he there at all?#But oh my god boy you've had a weird thing with performers ever since the age of Tiny

Every day I lament the fact that Nether Pact is a good skin and Absolutely Not Where I Wanted Them To Take Pastor's Character.

#Amby rambles #The event was so mid that I don't even like using nether pact that much #And I like truth and inference most of the time!!#HE DID NOT NEED A FRONT SEAT IN ANOTHER EVENT. CASTLE ZINAIDA WAS AN EXCELLENT EXPLORATION OF ANDREW'S CHARACTER #Idv talk

It's always been a bit hard for me to really pin down what Train Conductor represents in regards to Andrew's characterization. The one through line I've found is in Sophia's essence is that the majority of the cast are not who they say they are.

My biggest guess was that it was Andrew's duty being personified, but I'm wondering if it's representing another mask he wears. Could be an Andrew who believes he's shucked his past and has become his 'true' self. Or one who convinced himself the mask he wore in the past is the only face he can show to people now. Many ways to spin their character...

#amby rambles #in the planning stage for a longfic stay tuned #idv talk #character analysis #vera joseph smiley kreacher. oh i'm sure.#victor and robbie/ivan are just kinda there and even they aren't showing their truest selves #it also occurred to me that victor was possibly made Sheriff both bc they love putting him in detective positions #but also he's the only one capable of keeping a secret of that variety

Why Can't I Be You by The Cure is a huge Lavacheese song, To Me.

It's a bit more high energy than I would usually assign a song with Andrew's POV, but I feel like the increasing desperation sells his devotion and his envy towards Ganji.

That, and I can never resist good ol' Consumption imagery when it comes to talking about the Candyland essence.

#amby rambles #idv talk #I may elaborate more later but alas. I am at work and saying something now bc the song is stuck in my head #I like it when cheese is a little pathetic bastard you can't help feeling sympathetic towards #Lava Cake inspires them to be a better person but good lord is it a journey to get there

Best genre of Andrew art is him killing Epitaph with his own hands.

#amby rambles #Idv talk #The ONCE outfits as a system really lend themselves to the 'take the version of yourself who got everything they believed they wanted'#And tearing it away from yourself #Anyway you ever think about how epitaph was meant to be depicted smiling.#But it was nixed in the concept art because it was so incongruous with how they have established Andrew's character #I would say the same about ONCE tonio but he's a special breed #Your end is self made it doesn't matter whether you have a hold of the strings.#I'm sure id have more thoughts for this but i am tipsy on this fine Monday 3am.#Was just thinking about epitaph offering his hand to Andrew. And being met with rage.#Ivys outfit looks great BTW. Took a bit to grow on me.#Yith is still here despite sister being here. Yay <3 #Shout outs to yith.

Still lamenting the new IDV timeline not having concrete dates because I HAD the dates figured out and game 2 and early game 3s SHOULD have taken place in 1898, but now I have NO IDEA.

Frankly they play loosey goosey with dates and ages anyway so it's not a huuuuge loss, but with a concrete year I can have an idea of whether something was invented/discovered or not. I also just like the thought of it JUST being the turn of the century too, for the majority of older games.

#Amby rambles #Idv talk #Game 4 ages are all fucked up for the timeline they're trying to do anyway #We take things with a grain of salt in this fandom #Anyway Andrew is 28 to me. Ganji is 25. Antonio is in his 40s.#Antonio stopped caring and stopped keeping track I don't think even he remembers for sure #Biggest reason I'm upset (not really) by this is because I HAD andrews birthday pinpointed to the year.#(1874 by canon and 1870 by headcanon)#I don't even know whether the wiki has been updated with the timeline they offered at the exhibition yet.

my biggest thing now is. do i get half-elf knight like i've been saving my shards for to continue my 'get everything for andrew' collection.

or do i get ganji's new skin bc i don't have anything nice for him yet and God It's Good
