Marten Broadcloak, Walter O'Dim, Randall Flagg, The Grinning Man, The Man with No Face, The Man in Black

It only takes a week or two to break a god-fearing man: Ease him in with the small talk (and then plant ideas ‘till his ears fall off). Finlee played that guard like a fiddle, turned his own fears into a honing missile.    “Father, can you save my soul?”   “First you gotta bring me a little C4.”

usually when i introduce the show to people i tell them about the puppets and i show them this picture because it’s one of the top ones on google and it’s beauty and the beast. of course. the one with the puppet puppets. cutest sweetest little number in the whole thing. but then they ask me if it’s a horror show. i forget that the average person’s first thought upon seeing a blank-eyed puppet girl is apparently not going to be “omg little dea :)” it’s going to be “oh… that’s creepy.” although…

…creepy images of puppet dea do exist. i’ve seen pictures of fnaf characters that look exactly like this.

#the grinning man #grinpayne #dea #burning thoughts #im sure grinpayne’s big black button eyes don’t help either. but someone said dea in particular was creepy #it’s ok. you just have not seen them sparkle in the light. they are not voids #sometimes i wonder where the puppets are now… #no way they threw them out or destroyed them right? so they’re probably just sitting somewhere #i feel a kind of grief i guess when i think about them motionless wherever they are #idk it’s real late here

Thinking about how The Man Who Laughs is not the best translation of the title L’Homme qui rit but it is kind of the title I’ve inherited bc I don’t believe in retranslating titles (ultimately any degree of name recognition is more important imo, at least with a work that has been read in English by that name for so long). Smile and laugh just don’t have the linguistic relationship that sourire and rire have.

Etymologically it’s more like if we (in English) called a smile a “sublaugh” or an “underlaugh,” so that “laugh” could be understood as a direct step up, ie an exaggeration, of a smile. But we don’t! Thus I’m forced to admit that at least in some schools of thought, perhaps including my own, a better translation would be The Man Who Smiles, The Man Who Grins, or dare I say, The Grinning Man.

#mixed feelings on the grinning man bc I think ‘who grins’ portrays it more as an aspect of his identity rather than his sole identifier #the man who laughs #the grinning man #translation talk #victor hugo

sketches from a while ago. bold hypothesis that at one point he used to actually put effort into his job

#essentially this is a barki + shockheaded peter mc fusion #barkilphedro #the grinning man #tgm musical #the man who laughs #these came about from me considering an imaginary animated movie adaptation and thinking it might be fun if #he had a slightly different design in the flashback scene. to show how much the ensuing 20 year has Withered Him
