It is once again time to celebrate my favourite assassination attempt in literature history.

i think everyone who was on tumblr in 2015 and/or as a younger teenager should read penance by eliza clark. it's a complete wild ride. deeply unsettling exploration of the grossness of true crime fandom, about a group of british high school girls who murder their friend, but also roughly 3/4 of the way through you get winded with homestuck references and a detailed footnote about all the different types of 2015 kinning on the same page

heyyy its the anon who asked you abt rain world here, AND the one who mentioned they wanted to go into linguistics cause of clanmew! i decided to try translating a few rain world character names into clanmew for fun, since the way Clanmew's naming works already reminded me a ton of it, even if it doesnt match up 1-1. apologies if its sloppy, i tried to research but im a bit low on energy rn
Five Pebbles -> Rarra Wibra
Unparallelled Innocence -> Boe Eefrriwang Grryrr [little-sibling-ness i-contain] [really funny to me that you can shorten this one to beefgrr. that sure is ui in a nutshell]
Sliver Of Straw [VERY fun character. no she doesnt ever appear canonically in the game. ONLY one to achieve what thousands of other funny robots were trying to do] -> Ul-arra Kroon [one whole hay]
BRUH it's totally fine to not match up completely, but you knocked it out of the park anyway. The fun of seeing translation is exactly that every language has its own quirks and meaning, there is no 'perfect' reflection.
Sliver of Straw's is especially interesting, Clanmew fits them like a glove. You say they don't show up in the game, right? That totally fits the air of loneliness that Ul-arra contains. All they are is One Whole Hay, just a little lonely thing, that achieved a whole lot. You never meet them and yet you live in the shadow of their legacy
At least, I'm guessing lmao. I should play Rainworld sometime.

i think interpreting dynamics that dont have any canon basis to be familial as familial is totally fine but a) you cannot act like this is canon fact and, in tandem with that, b) you cannot attack people for interpreting it differently. believe me i am all for killing people who sexualize ACTUAL familial/familial-coded dynamics with knives but you have got to understand that just bcuz these two characters are friends does not mean they are siblings and it does not mean you get to get mad at others when they inevitably ship them

thinking about katrina feeling very self destructive and in a fight is Sad yes but it's also so fun and interesting for me to think about because there is such a palpable energy shift from when she's fighting out of anger or because she has to vs when she wants to. when she's indulging. she's shit talking. she's getting hit and grinning. they land a punch on her and she laughs in their face. she's energized. there's something very much unstable about her and it's visible
