BTW for all you Lyle-heads, Frankie gives us a special gift with the new emotes:

I didn't quite get this at first, but suddenly it clicked why this is incredibly funny:
Not really a question but maybe a question if in my ramblings I can think of something. Your art of Spine and Sam? From Look Outside? Honestly changed me on her character. I thought she was just a creepy monster and killed her. But, man, all the sweet art you’ve made, or the creepy things you’ve explored with them… it’s just!!! So good!!?!!??! It has changed my brain chemistry I love Spine now and I LOOOOVE your art of her immensely. You’re the GOAT for all that fantastic fanart and just. I’m sorry I’m rambling but yeah. I love you
*evilly tapping steepled fingers together * yeeeessssss more meat for the pilessss....
I mean... *cough*
Ok, all joking aside, THANK YOU so much! 😭
Honestly, it's funny how far this has come. When I originally posted screens of the full encounter after it was added, I was on the side of "ok that's not cool you can't just do/say that" and figured (at the time) it was justified to be filled with lead.
The fact that I eventually just saw the... interesting narrative that came with the idea (plus my own experiences) led me to start writing this weird loneliness narrative with Sam as the lonely one. It wasn't until Blue and Orange that I started to think about the ramifications of Spine being trapped where she is, and how she might very well also be lonely... She just had the misfortune of being physically and mentally mutilated beforehand so her ability to communicate it has been warped outside of human reason and emotion.
I find that fascinating.
That was before 1.5. Shortly before the beta dropped.
Then 1.5 beta happened and eventually released and SHATTERED what information we're given about Spine as a character, and really let that narrative blossom, and I love that more and more people are slowly realizing that... yeah, she's a creep, but she's a creep who's really really interesting to try and understand, and even pity (and maybe find kinda hot, if you're into that sort of thing; I see y'all in my tags, lmao I'm totally not one of you in a weird ace way).
Even Frankie understands what he's done, hahahaha.
I wouldn't say Spine is a 'popular' character, but the people who do realize they like her tend to REALLY like her. Once she gets her claws in your heart, she's hard to pry out. She's just so polarizing, which is really fun, and Frankie has said he really likes that about her (I can't get the stream moment he made a really funny remark about the different kinds of Spine opinions, because that segment of stream unfortunately got DMCA muted).
Favorite moment from the stream today
[ Spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached the roof yet, since he's spriting something from that ]
I'm not sure why Twitch has started deleting any new clips I make, maybe it's a music thing, but I was able to save a weird version of this one that cuts off in the wrong spots, but it's better than nothing!
Just in case the news didn't get ALL the way around-
A small bit from stream (it just started), where Frankie discusses how Denial Sam might communicate. Just prior to this clip he said Denial Sam MIGHT be able to form words, but it'd take a lot of effort and concentration.
However, I think a lot of people will get a huge "AWHHH" by what Frankie says at the end of this clip-
WE HAVE LOOK OUTSIDE EMOTES NOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
