to keep it short, here’s the cliffnotes of my chosen dead 3 obsessions (spoilers for act 2/act 3 babes)
ketheric thorm; his corrupted fatherhood, the tragic backstory vs the inability to sympathize with him because his daughter is alive and he no longer has her as an excuse for his actions, His Other Children and what it implies about his relationship with isobel, his morals—and by morals, i mean the way he treats religion and the gods themselves
orin the red; i can’t help but compare her to dark urge, and isn’t that her entire story? always a comparison, always someone else vying for the place she is trying to carve out for herself. i also see a similarity between her and the other groomed companions, trying to earn the love of a god that wants to see her die.
enver gortash; i think in different circumstances, he could’ve been like mol. and vice versa. i see them as a coin, both highly intelligent and highly manipulative, but mol had the others to take care of while gortash was left to fester in his own mind.
Welcome Home Secret Audio Tapes Transcribed (Accurately): Tape #4 Frank & Barnaby
Still posting these because the secret invisible transcripts under the audio tapes aren’t 100% accurate, and I like things to be exact. I may be motivated to post more of these if I spent less time doing them up nice. I’d also be WAY more motivated if I could find that special specific American typewriter font with the rounded Tuscan serifs used in the real WH script pieced together on that secret page. I’m beginning to suspect that’s a CUSTOM font.
Yes I know the last one I posted was audio tape #2, I’ve got #3 written out but not done up/aged, but I had this one finished and if I didn’t post it now it would be harder for me to get to it later.

EXT. FRANKS FRONT GARDEN - DAY
SCENE FADES IN, AS FRANK FRANKLY, HOMES MOST STUDIOUS AND DETAIL-ORIENTED NEIGHBOUR, IS CAUGHT MID SENTENCE EXPLAINING SOME FINE DETAIL OF HIS METICULOUS GARDEN.
FRANK
“Blue, don't actually have any blue pigmentation. They have to grow in soil that is basic as well, so the pine straw should be left for the other beds-“
BARNABY B. BEAGLE, LARGE, BLUE, STAND-UP COMEDIAN CANINE (WHO GETS AROUND A LOT FOR A SUPPOSED LAY ABOUT), INTERRUPTS FRANK AS HE STROLLS UP THE PATH TO FRANKS FRONT GARDEN.
BARNABY
“You're tellin' me that these flowers are liars, Franky?”
FRANK
(Exasperated sigh as he notices Barnaby approaching.)
“Urgh, I'm not telling you that these flowers are liars, Barnaby. I'm talking about how these flowers are specially selected to look this way.”
FRANK GESTURES TO HIS CORNFLOWERS IN THEIR POTS.
BARNABY
“Eh, bein' blue isn't anything special, pal. Don't ya know that blue is all the rage nowadays?”
FRANK
“I don't think people are painting themselves blue, frankly. Are you saying your fur color isn't natural?”
FRANK SUGGESTS THIS WITH A SLIGHT CHUCKLE.
BARNABY
(Feigning insult.)
“I beg your pardon!? I'm a natural beauty, as far as you know.”

FRANK
“Heh. I doubt you're any sort of beagle. I've never seen any blue dog before in my life! Now, if you don't mind, we'd like to continue tending to my flowers in peace.”
BARNABY
“You're gonna have to do more than tend to 'em if you want 'em to grow up nice and big. You know what they say: you gotta entertain your plants to make 'em happy.”
FRANK
“Heh, That's true... but I'm not going to let your snappy patter poison my petunias
I'd hardly call your material entertaining, much less fertilizer.”
BARNABY
(Subtle standup tone.)
“Oh, don't you worry, Frank. The last thing I'll do is overwhelm your orchid. Your plants all seem clover it.”
FRANK
(Annoyed groan before taking a deep breath.)
“Uuurrggggh. Not with these puns again. You're going to make all of my hard work wilt! Your humor is too dry for my impatiens.”
BARNABY
“Hey, hey! Not a daisy goes by where you don't get impatient... but hey, I'm just pollen your leg.”
FRANK
(Another deep breath and annoyed groan.)
“Uuurgggg. Will. You. Just. Get. Out of here!? My plants don't need your ridiculous jokes to grow; go find an audience for your silly gags somewhere else.”

BARNABY
(Starting walking away backwards.)
“Alright, alright, I'll grow... But every dogwood has his day! I'll still poppy in from time to time, even if you're still a little rough around the hedges!”
FRANK GROANS AND FUMES AT EACH PUN AS BARNABY GETS FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY.
FRANK
“Hrrrrr, hm. Urgh, honestly with him! I don't know how you can stand to be around him, Wa//=Y.”
