There are a lot of recent sci fi series that are set in a "capitalistic hellscape that you can't escape even with a spaceship" setting. We Fix Space Junk, Murderbot, Outer Worlds, Invisible Kingdom, We Only Find Them When They're Dead to name a few across mediums.

The commonalities between these different stories- the palpable, resonate despair that permeates each of them- hurts. It's our current world with a different color paint slapped on top. It's impossible to read even a single page of these stories without the creators' current pains shining through, without seeing your own reflected there

But it's the differences between these different stories set in the same setting that's currently snagging my brain. Particularly in where they find their joy and hope: the little daily joys and delights and laughs and personal victories in We Fix Space Junk; the places and people of safety in Murderbot; the power fantasy of Outer Worlds; transcendence and escape in WOFTWTD.

In a storytelling sense, it's these different sources of hope that give each series its own unique feel and vibe and heart. In a personal, emotional sense though, There's just. Something about all of these different methods of finding hope in the face of the same problems that does something to me. Gives me a confusing soup of emotions that I don't know how to process

#I don't actually know what I'm say here. This isn't a coherent essay #This setting just inspires. feelings. and I'm trying to work those out #mineminemine #we only find them when they're dead #we fix space junk #murderbot #outer worlds #invisible kingdom

PoE- Eric Harburn: Hall H

My talk with Eric Harburn of BOOM! Studios covers on his adventures at 2022's San Diego Comic-Con, specifically his first Hall H experience, which was a doozy. We discuss how Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt, Ron Garney, and the rest of the creative team work together to get BRZRKR out. We also talk about the first moves on the development of Something Is Killing the Children, the reasons behind his promotion to executive editor, and not being frightened of ending a series when the time is right.

A bonus I'm making my 2019 interview with Eric which you can find on the Portrait of an Editor Patreon page, free for a bit longer. So check it out and consider signing up to get the many other interviews I have on the page.

Heyyy so out of Valeria, Laswell and Farrah, who do you think is the most to freak out over a bug, just kill it or take it outside? Silly ask but yk, thank ya!

Hey there! That is a pretty silly ask! I hope I was able to do it justice!

Valeria, Farah and Laswell Reacting to a Bug

Valeria: She definitely just kills the bug. She doesn’t have the time for something as stupid as some bug and doesn’t really care much for it either. If it was up to her, then all bugs would be dead whenever she comes near them. They’re small pests, doesn’t matter if they’re good for the environment or not. She’ll kill a wasp as much as she’ll kill a ladybug, she doesn’t see any difference in bugs. They’re all stupid, worthless and annoying and are better off dead.

Farah: She takes the bug outside. Farah can appreciate animals. While she may not be the biggest fan of bugs, she doesn’t hate them either. They’re such small creatures in such a big, hateful world. No, she won’t kill them. Although she won’t feel bad for squashing bugs either if she does so by accident. However, they’re usually deserving of life, as long as they aren’t being nuisances. But even then she’ll show them mercy and be nice to them. Besides, some of them look cool. Laswell: I wouldn’t say she freaks out per se, but she does get uneasy around some bugs. She’s been around the world, she’s likely been stung by some wasps or bees and knows that they can be little shits if they feel threatened. Or if they just feel like it. Laswell will flinch a bit whenever a wasp comes near her, but, as I’ve said, she doesn’t really freak out too much. If she can kill the bug, that’s fine, but if it flies outside she won’t complain either. She’s probably killed a stink bug before and figured out the hard way why they’re called stink bugs.

#cod #valeria garza #farah karim #kate laswell #I personally hate most bugs. got stung by a wasp once and I want each and every single one of them dead since #I'm actually really afraid of bugs that fly that aren't butterflies or ladybugs. those don't do anything and are pretty to look at #plus here we say that ladybugs bring good luck. another reason why they're awesome #but I do also like moths. moths are so pretty #one of my OCs is a moth demon and I adore her. she's my favorite among the bunch #but other than that any and all bugs should stay away from me. I don't ljke them they're spooky scary #unfortunately bug season is coming back soon enough 😔 It's gonna be hell on earth again with all the wasps #but bumblebees are pretty cute! right now the bumblequeens are coming out of their burrows to find new ones #bumblebees are adorable. I love it when their little butts stick out of flowers full of pollen #I always called that a bumblebutt. god they're so so cute.#so yeah #not all bugs are bad but most of them are. there are only few exceptions. but exceptions validate the rule as we say in German

You should kill them before they end up killing you. Be careful Gortash

"They are my ally. I will not kill them. And while your concern for my well-being is appreciated, I do not require it. With this in mind. Get out."

#Nonnie #Nonnie ask answered #|| Let's consider why Banites don't really kill - only if they don't have any other choice.#|| Ruling over others is much more useful for them. They're tyrants after all. Using assets to reach their goals is beneficial for them.#|| A dead person is not useful.#|| ...unless they prove to be a weak ally - in which case they're not useful so they're better off dead (us if we hand over the stones).#|| Or when they're just pawns and they've served their purpose (patriars).#|| Gortash's dynamic with the Bhaalspawn is full of mind games and tests. From both sides.#|| The Bhaalspawn had a test mission with Gortash and Gortash ''did miss this'' when he literally plays is fucked up mind games.#|| (He plays mind games with Tav too - demanding the stones and wanting them to refuse him. TWICE.)#|| ...I'd like to mention that I really found it interesting that despite the fact that as Tav we'd serve our purpose-#|| -in getting the stones - he doesn't WANT Tav and their group to be in the Accelerated Grand Design.#|| In one of his books in his office he recorded that he plans to find a place for us in his ''Golden Reign of Gortash''.#|| He wanted to keep Tav on his good side. As a strong ally who tells him no occasionally. A strong ally who rules with him.#|| He'd surely control them - but not completely.#|| ...just as he wanted to keep the Bhaalspawn alive and on his side.#|| Sigh. I have so many thoughts and feelings. 😩

almost 4am can't stop thinking about the meaning of the idiom 'to have blood on [someone's] hands'—to be responsible for a person's death—combined with the fact that Zach is the one we are specifically shown with Daryl's actual blood on his hands (once for real and once in a dream)... Not Josh who had been holding the sword Daryl fell onto, but Zach who took the sword out.

#super dark times #+ part of it that's insane to me is: Josh COULD have easily ALSO gotten (literal) blood on his hands—we see him go to check for a pulse #after Zach did... but we don't see his hands during that—they're left out of the shot! we just see his face. and when we see his hands next #there's no visible blood on them (if any got on he theoretically wiped 'em off ig? similarly Zach's hands when seen AFTER the shot of him #touching Daryl ALSO don't rlly show blood anymore—we see his hands in the leaves tho so it prob went there) BUT SO there was a CHOICE made #to give us a close up shot of ZACH pulling his hand away from the wound with blood on it... but to NOT do the same/smthn similar with Josh.#and yet ZACH is the one who CAN'T ACCEPT THE ROLE HE PLAYED IN ANY OF ITTTTT!!!!!!! GAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!#this post brought to you by me rewatching the Zach + Charlie on the phone scene and needing to just. stop and scream at Zach being #like 'Josh‚ or fucking somebody else‚ they went up there and if they found Daryl alive—' LIKE BRO. YOU *KNOW* HE WAS DEAD.#YOU KNOW. YOU KNOOOOW. YOU WERE THERE. YOU KNOW HE WAS ALREADY DEAD. the denial. the trying to find any fucking way that #there could be even a sliver of a possibility that it WASN'T even PARTIALLY his fault.... shifting the blame entirely onto Josh...#[plus like. the 'somebody else' only added in after Charlie was giving him shit for trying to complicate this more—at first he was #straight up saying Josh was the one that fucked with the body]... aghghghsfd he makes me INSANE #also fwiw. i'm forever a 'Josh didn't harm anyone on purpose until AFTER his fight with Zach at Zach's house' truther. that provides #at least SOME sort of motivation to push him over an edge into... the shit that happens. anything before that just fuckin' doesn't make #sense. To Me. ive already written a lot on my thoughts about all of that though [uhhh in the tags of my gifset of the fight at Zach's house #anyways. im also NOT trying to say 'ah so we should Just Blame Zach' because nah nah this whole thing was a fucked up accident. they're all #to blame. plus Josh did horrible shit at the end On His Own there's no way of getting around that—but the messiness of how Zach handled the #initial incident and how that ripples out across the whole movie is simply soooooooo... ghghGHGhghGHGhghghgh. To Me.#in conclusion: im soooooooo normal about the characters in this movie (<- lying)

One of the biggest reasons I try to recruit all the characters in Three Houses isn’t just because I don’t want to kill them, but because if I do, I still have to go back to the monastery afterward. I still have to pass by their dorm rooms full of their belongings and know that’s where they spent their alone time and where they slept. I still have to pass by the spots they frequented the most. It’s not just the sad dialogue of characters reacting to the deaths, but passing by the spots I vividly remembered them hanging out at.

I realized this most in my first playthrough when I didn’t have the chance to recruit everyone and I accidently killed Raphael at Gronder. I didn’t have the enemy attack range turned on so I didn’t realize he was in range of attacking.

During an exploration, I was looking for Ignatz who was, unfortunately, in his dorm room... and I walked into the wrong room and into Raphael’s after he was killed and man that fuckin’ sucked! Feels bad but like, multiplied with big numbers, u kno??? ???

YES, IT’S A VIDEO GAME. YES, I HAVE HUMAN BEING FEELINGS ABOUT IT.
