I like Armstrong a lot, that's most of what I post. Tesla fictionkin.

I occasionally post art, animate and write fanfiction

I tag my posts with my username (#teslasushanka)

I am okay with people using my art for profiles and reposting onto sites such as Pinterest. However, all I ask is for credit for my work! Do not use my work however to promote harmful/hateful beliefs such as proshipping/darkshipping or any hate speech.

IMPORTANT: I kindly ask any Armstrong yumes to NOT use my artwork of the character, I am uncomfortable interacting with you and I will block you if I find you breaking this rule.

:D loved the map and all the voices!! however, armstrong confused me a bit, why'd they speak at the very end? i thought y'all confirmed them as mute?

Hi! Glad you asked! I posted about it on the TLT server and I’ll drop that here:

I’d reinforce that in no way are we trying to make implications around human beings who are mute or nonverbal in the way Armstrong vocalizes, but for Armstrong as someone ‘piloting a corpse’, our solution to having them feel present and player-facing was this idea around expelling air from their body as their limited form of vocalization. In a more visual medium like a cartoon, we may have gone in a different direction - like, for example, gestures or something like ASL - but with the limitations around a dialogue box driven narrative, it seemed important to figure out how Armstrong could make sound!

All that said, Armstrong is not ‘speaking’ in that last line - like all of Armstrong’s lines, it’s an unvoiced expulsion of air, without the use of pronunciation anatomy. It’s just that a “yay”-ish sound is possible with those biological limitations, it only relies on moving air and opening and closing one’s jaw!

Thanks for asking - definitely not a retcon on Armstrong’s corpsey limitations around communication, just a way to explore the very specific circumstances around muteness that Armstrong has, sonically. I totally appreciate the ways in which Armstrong can serve as representation for folks with aphasia, vocal injury, nonverbal conditions, etc, and it was really a decision stemming from not wanting the game’s limitations to make Armstrong completely non-communicative, because we love our big red fella and wanted them as much a part of this experience as everyone else.

Thanks for answering! I'm not on the discord so I hadn't seen this till now, I'm so glad it wasn't a retcon. They mean a lot to me as a character and as representation of disability, while I'm not fully mute myself, as a selective mute person I'm just happy to see it all portrayed in a respectful manner 😓

However this is certainly very interesting information and I am excited to see how this will affect upcoming projects (and how the fandom will run with it). Thank you mister haft.
