Do you have any thoughts on Pursuance Meursault? His rejection of faith was pretty important in the book so him having this EGO sticks out a whole lot

So, I'm just gonna preface this by saying I Have Not Read the Stranger. That being said, I'll give it my best shot anyway.

Under the cut now! Shoo!

As always, let's start with the Abnormality. Heavenly Executor's Scribe, while sparse in information, is Extremely Clear about its themes. It's very explicitly described as only noting down and following the judgements of someone else, while not assessing what it writes down on its own.

It refuses to cast down its own judgement, and refuses to doubt the judgement of others. We can see that in how it accepts the Sinners' opinion of its tablet regardless of whether they read it or destroy it.

The parallel with our Mr. Refuses To Cast Moral Judgement here is very, very clear. Just like the Scribe, Meursault simply follows orders of those in authority without question, and accepts whatever opinion others have of him.

Another thing to note is the religious angle of the Abnormality. Heavenly Executor's Scribe, and the Pursuance E.G.O by proxy, have very clear design references to angels and heaven, and seem to be referencing the Biblical idea that angels have no free will, simply being vehicles through which God acts.

The connection between religion and oppression through judgement is absolutely not lost on me here, especially with the Abnormality's name calling the higher power it follows the Heavenly Executor. It is merely the secretary of the True Judge, Jury, and Executioner that is this interpretation of God. Which, while I'm calling attention to the concept of Judgement and Execution... that should sound Extremely Familiar to those of you who have read the Stranger, now shouldn't it?

Now onto the Sin Analysis, because that's the part I feel most comfortable with.

Pursuance's Sin damage is Sloth, which is a Sin associated with apathy and inaction, as we can see from the base E.G.Os of Gregor and Yi Sang. Likewise, Sloth as Pursuance's main Sin means exactly what one might think it means for Meursault - apathy towards the judgement and orders made by those of authority. He doesn't assess them on his own, he simply follows them to the letter.

For the Sin requirements, we have Sloth, Pride, and Gloom. Sloth I already covered in how it reflects Meursault's apathy and lack of own opinion towards the judgement and orders he is told to follow, so let's focus on the other two.

In my interpretation of the Sins, Pride represents actions taken for their benefits with their consequences being ignored. This, I think, is reflected in what Pursuance represents. Meursault is following orders because that's what he believes benefits him, regardless of whatever harm he may be inflicting by doing so. After all, following what the judging party says is better than standing out and being judged himself.

The last Sin requirement here is Gloom, and that's the one I'm most intrigued by. I interpret Gloom as actions taken under the pressure of negative emotions. As such, I think Meursault requiring Gloom to use Pursuance actually repaints the context of his actions in a somewhat sympathetic light. It implies that severe emotional stress is part of what pushes him to do this. And really, can you blame him? Knowing that the authority whose orders you're following could at any point turn its judgement against you can't be conductive to good mental health.

As for the dialogue lines, there's some interesting implications to them, I think.

His Awakening line has him promise to "pray for someone", which is generally considered to be a way of giving someone blessing, to be hoping that something good happens to them. However, that's not what Meursault is talking about here. His line here implies that by praying for someone, by turning his God's attention towards someone, he is actually doing the opposite. That by praying for someone, he is ensuring that that someone will break.

By praying for someone when his God is Judge, Jury, and Executioner, he is effectively ensuring Holy Judgement upon this person. And well, Meursault very much feels like the type of person to understand how horrible it feels to be judged for everything, doesn't he.

On the other hand, his Corroded line ties back to something else I already mentioned in this analysis. You know the whole thing of Meursault blindly following orders because he knows the authority could very easily judge him instead? Yeah, this line basically confirms it. It confirms that, while everyone around him is on thin ice, the ice he's on is even thinner. If he ever messes up, it doesn't matter who else messed up, he's the one getting punished. He's the one who won't be forgiven. He's the one who Shan't Be Pardoned.

...Fun fact, analyzing Meursault's E.G.Os is how I truly started to appreciate him as a character.

Something abt art involving babies/children where the creator has clearly like. Held a baby and interacted with them makes me 🥺 brb going to cry over baby miles littol face

LMAO is it that obvious? My younger sister is quite a few years younger than me so I had a lot of Older Sibling Duties like changing diapers/feeding/making sure she didn’t wander off and fall down the stairs because she got bored of watching finding nemo for the 23rd time, so I guess I do have a good grasp of baby behaviour. I’m glad you love baby bambino guppy Miles I just think his cheeks are the consistency of bread dough 🥺

Seeing how you talk about your tags, I'm curious. What are some of the tags that you are most proud of?

#drunk lwj is just 1) be gay 2) do crimes #lwj internally: i bet wei ying likes bad boys. how can i profess my love AND do a crime? i know. i will propose via stolen property #‘wei ying hush your mouth i’m trying to woo you with farm animals. in a sexy illegal way’ #when he hands over the chickens he’s patting himself on the back for a job well done. mission accomplished. wei ying is so impressed. #amazing. brilliant. i am a true artist. a criminal mastermind. my genius knows no bounds. #this crime scene is my pièce de résistance. i shall sign my name so the world will know my greatness. #in the most prestigious salons the intelligentsia will gather. ‘how long must we wait to be graced with his next opus??’ they will cry. #the literati will accost me in the street begging for the fruits of my genius. i will silence their pitiful mewls with a single look. #'patience’ i will advise - nay! admonish them. then turning gracefully on my heel i will glide away from their grasping mediocrity #into the waiting arms of my beloved. 'spirit me away from this tiresome place’ i will sigh into his ear. #'i wish to recline in your arms surrounded by the animals we have symbolically gifted to each other. onward my love! posthaste!’

Saw the little nightmares 3 trailer got released and wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Is there anything in particular that you're excited for or just generally hyped about?

Also sorry if this question comes across weird I have no clue about the series but remembered you enjoyed it and drew some stuff for it so I thought it'd be fun to talk about it if that makes sense?

- 🥊

Oh I have so many thoughts on it. So many that I'm going to put them below the cut so this post doesn't take up anyone's entire dash.

First of all, damn my copious amounts of coursework for the fact that I couldn't sit down and start drawing fanart immediately the moment I finished watching the trailer once… or twice… maybe three times. Mark my words though these kids WILL be getting some day 2 (actual) art, even if it's just a little sketch.

…Point being, I was pretty excited right out of the gate. Admittedly, I was a little nervous that the studio changeover would mean that any (potential) future Little Nightmares content would mean a massive tonal shift, but based on the trailer alone + the additional guides related to the game, it nails the atmosphere of the previous games pretty damn well. Hell, the giant baby enemy even resembles some of the concept art from the flesh walls!

Already, Nowhere is combining some of my favorite things (notably locations that seem/are "alive", steampunk motifs, and copious amounts of birds… also reminds me a little bit of Zone 3 from OFF, but that's probably just me), but most notably is the fact that it actually seems to resemble some of the locations seen in the (tragically cancelled) 2017 comics. This is particularly notable in the first issue, which features two children taking shelter in a barn from a monster known as the North Wind (who is made of/"sees through" the eyes of black birds, presumably crows), but the second issue is about a monster that lives within mirrors, which are shown a lot in the trailer as well. Either way, I'm cautiously hoping for some references to the comics, especially because we never got to learn what happened to the rest of the Maw kids there (the answer is probably "they died horribly" but I mean hey. You never know).

The designs of the two protagonists are, of course, adorable. I love the plague doctor/gas mask duo (especially because having face coverings makes sense in such a dusty place) and the bit where they both glide down using feather umbrellas is genuinely so fun—absolutely no complaints there.

…Actually, one complaint: I have no idea which one is Low and which one is Alone. None of the official sources have clarified that. Please LN3… I need to know the names of my new kids before they get put into the meat grinder like every other protagonist in these games. (Given the series' track record, I'm not too optimistic about their fates—sorry little guys! I'll be rooting for you anyway). EDIT: It seems like Low is the bird mask kid and Alone is the hazard suit kid

Mechanically… I don't think we've seen enough of the game for me to make any hasty judgements. I know everyone wanted LN2 to be multiplayer (and LN3 appears to have a singleplayer option), but I'm unsure of how that will work. Will it be Spiritfarer style multiplayer where only one player has to own LN3? Will it be online? Will it be splitscreen? Will me inevitably ditching the main campaign to screw around with my friend ruin the atmosphere? No idea. The way I see it, it's too soon to tell.

While we're on the topic though, I did also listen to the first episode of the audio drama! Without spoiling anything… yeah I can definitely recommend it. It's very reminiscent of The Magnus Archives and/or The Bright Sessions, so if you like either of those podcasts you'll probably like The Sounds of Nightmares. Even if you know absolutely nothing about Little Nightmares, I'd honestly recommend it. Voice mixing is a little off in places (though there's a decent chance it was just my headphones being fucky), but the podcast MORE than makes up for it in terms of imagery and phenomenal sound design. No word on the lore implications though; I'll listen to episode 2 when I get the time and THEN deliver the verdict there. I also hope they release an official transcript for it—there isn't one right now afaik, but that would be really helpful for a multitude of reasons.

But yeah, that's about it! TL;DR hell yeah I'm excited for this game, but I'm trying not to fill in the blanks with too much supposition while there's still so little info available

#Also I can promise this isn't a weird question at all; I was freaking out over it on main #And I've drawn/talked about loving the LN series here too! Point being no worries :] #Re: Inbox #🥊 anon #Little Nightmares 3 #<- For indexing. Apologies to the maintag

Out of curiosity, does the team have a policy on non-water types that look like water types? Like, dragalgae, dhelmise or cursola.

those are fine but they're on thin ice

3, 8, 10, tartaglia, alhaitham, aventurine

3. heavy, hot, and passionate kisses or soft, sweet, and tender kisses?

ok well. in my head its like a gradient. tartaglia would probably be the most passionate in a desperate loving way. aventurine is a wombocombo between, tender kisses that are somehow insanely heavy and leave you trailing for more. haitham is more for sweet tender quick kisses, i like to imagine he prefers quick hugs or forehead kisses more.

8. constantly bragging about dating each other or keeping the relationship relatively secretive?

tartaglia is a bragger. absolutely. will tell his subordinates all ab us .. is very prideful about it and brags about it like he actually did fulfill his task in liyue w/ the gnosis. aventurine and haitham i see being more quiet ab it; aventurine bc he has made many enemies and doesn't want to risk it, and haitham is just comfortable in keeping his relationships personal. kaveh doesn't figure it out until 6 months have passed and he sees me kissing haitham.

10. constantly saying “i love you” or only say “i love you” during really serious/romantic moments?

ouhh.. i think aventurine would say "i love you" often, along tartaglia... tart is just very affectionate and loyal, he's not one to beat around the bush, but aventurine says it often in private.. haitham only says it during intimate moments, like the first serious fancy date or one of us got insanely sick (cough cough. me rn.)

hi sorry if you've been asked before (I tried to search for it but it didn't work :() but can you tell me how your index works with the dot stickers?

Sure! It changed a bit since I post the pictures that circle around here, i changed the colours and the meaning of some of them. Let me give you an update version!

I wrote in the picture the same thing i have written in my book but since english isn't my first language on my book it's written in portuguese.

First of all, I dont write a proper index based on the colored dots because I am lazy and if I decided doing that I wasn't going to write at all.

Here's how i categorize them, in order:

commonplacing: this can be pretty much anything, and in some ways most of the things i write down in my books are commonplacing entries. usually what i end up tagging as commonplacing is anything that isn't specificy in the other tags, but it can be posts (made here or some other place), articles, sometimes even conversations i had with someone about a topic.

my own words: here can be refletions or journal entries, my thoughts on a book i'm reading. when i use this tag it just means i'm not copying down text from other people.

tarot/mental health: any posts or articles i find interesting that talks about mental health go in here. but also when i pull a card from my tarot i use this tag. i use the same colour for both because i use my cards as a way to reflect on things there are happening that are affecting my mental state (most of the time).

special interests: i will use this tag when i'm writing down articles or posts about a special interest of mine. with this one, i also write down right beneath the blue dot which special interest i'm writing about (for examples, if i'm writing down an article about whales, it will say so right under the blue dot).

quotes: this one is pretty straight foward, i use when i'm tagging quotes.

hope this helped!

I just want you to know that I so deeply cherish all your untamed and murderbot (and raksura) thoughts that I started reading ORV just so I can get MORE of your fandom thoughts. I wanna be able to understand your new posts!!

this is so sweet 😭 thank you i'm flattered!! there are some really fabulous posts in this fandom, so i'm excited for you to experience them! my own posts are fairly shallow because i haven't done a reread and the story is so long i already can't remember most of it haha, but the fandom seems pretty active on here so it's gonna be a while before i run out of other people's fanart and meta to reblog. standard disclaimer that you read orv at your own risk and i will not be held responsible for any feelings you may or may not experience in the course thereof. godspeed <3
