My friend who doesn't play dishonored sent me a post about it and I started explaining how funny the Abbey is cause the entire religion is "we're going to defeat God with math and music" and they went "sorry that God doesn't vibe with jazz"

Someone mod dishonored so the overseer music boxes play jazz

My favorite contrast between Dishonored 1 and 2 is:

Dunwall Overseers: I've been reading about the Heretic's Brand...it sounds painful >:)

Karnaca Overseers: Do not allow random strangers into your home and please stop eating rats or you'll go to hell.

Exploring The Dunwall Archives a bit for writing purposes, I stumbled upon this excerpt.

The Overseers' Ancient Music is an often overlooked theme in Dishonored's lore, but a very fascinating one. I regret that it's not addressed much beyond the few Overseers we encounter carrying music boxes.

I wonder if there's any fics or posts on this subject? Sadly I don't have time to skim through AO3 and Tumblr much today but I'm very curious about what other people's thoughts are on this!

Throughout the natural world there are ripples that we can barely perceive with our sense, an Ancient Music permeating everything as a fundamental structural rule.

Just two (buff overseers) bros from the Abbey, chilling in a bed, 0 ft apart 'cause... Cause it's probably the Outsider's fault, black eyed bastard. Wait no that's Daud's line

Got the ending I didn’t want. For my second playthrough I wanted the Duke Corvo ending but I messed it up. So the Abbey is ruling Karnaca.

So @lydiaboyle and I discussed the topic of marriage in the dishonored universe and we settled on a few ideas so here they are: 

Ceremonies take place at night or the in early morning to hide from the Outsider. Alternatively, they take place indoors with the curtains drawn and entirely in candlelight. 

The couple spend an entire week separate from one another to observe the seven strictures, one stricture per day. On the seventh day the ceremony takes places. 

For nobility, the High Overseer officiates. 

Wedding vows focus on the seven strictures “on this day I choose to honor you, my hands will never wander to another”  ect. 

Overseer music boxes play throughout the ceremony to ward off the Outsider/heretics

The bride and groom wear elaborate, often incredibly expensive masks to deceive the outsider. 

Masks also represent the seventh stricture, which states that two “enemies” cannot inhabit one body. The mask symbolizes one’s past self that they must do away with for a successful marriage. To end the ceremony, the bride and groom must destroy their masks--this is a flaunt of wealth for nobility. 

After parties last for days, at least a week for the rich. Anything less than three days is laughable.

is this what victory feels like?

Been having a great time with the Dishonored TTRPG lately! Here’s my character, Emerson, having a rough day

Dishonored thought:

Where are Overseer's eyes?

With zero evidence to back me up in the slightest, my answer is that they're right behind the mask- obscured by some kind of tinted glass in the 'eye socket', as you'd expect from people who like throwing grenades around and don't want shrapnel in their eyes.

[Dishonored OC]

The Overseer - Theodore Fanshaw (circa 1821)

Introducing my newest Dishonored boy!

Born in 1793 in the city of Baleton, he is a scholarly Overseer. His greatest aspiration was to enter the Academy of Natural Philosophy, but he makes up for this failure by dedicating his work at the Abbey to the pursuit of knowledge.

In a scholarly visit to Serkonos in 1821, he begins a secret love affair with the renowned professor Amedeo Carelli, eight years his senior. Despite claims that the astronomer is using their relationship for his own gain, he knows better; they spend more than ten years together, until Carelli's mysterious disappearance around 1835.

Unlike many other Abbey scholars of his time, he is far from a zealot, and also seeks knowledge from other sources. Thus, his relationship with a former Academy student is also beneficial to his research. However, he feels like he cannot fully understand his lover's fascination for the Void and its mysteries.

[I have plans for this character and I hope I'll be able to write them. He should be featured in my Dishonored science fic series.]

I wanna pick someone's brain at Arkane for how they chose to make the Dunwall setting in the specific time frame it's in

Specifically that it's late Victorian to early Edwardian, but they're starting to run electricity (powered by supernatural whale oil), and they very specifically and explicitly do not have anything approaching germ theory.

Clearly they have some idea that inhaling fumes is bad (see: Whalers), but I can't find any hint that they would have miasma theory either. What DO they think causes disease? In game several people are investigating the cause of the rat plague but the closest they've gotten to a causative agent is "rat parts???" like not even the droppings or fluids of a rat, just "rat."

I know that is supposed to resemble the bubonic plague, but there's no mention of fleas on the rats we can find being studied. If the plague is closer to my personal guess that it's some sort of turbo hantavirus, then Sokolov has no chance of figuring it out if he doesn't know that germs are a thing.

Did the Abbey of the Everyman decide that germ theory was heresy or something and that's why they don't have it?

#dishonored #i love epidemiology ok #I also want to know why they decided that women all get to wear pants #i love me some pants but I want to know WHY
