MWW Artwork of the Day (5/1/23) Magnus Zeller (German, 1888-1972) The Orator [Der Volksredner](c. 1920) Oil on canvas, 152.4 x 198.1 cm. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Charles K. Feldman Fund)
Zeller was transformed by his military experience in World War I. As his sentiments turned, he began producing antimilitary graphics and after the war joined the revolutionary Soldiers’ Council. Zeller’s portfolio Revolutionszeit portrays the revolution that occurred in Germany during 1918 and 1919. Instead of focusing on individual personalities, however, Zeller presents the anonymous populace led by a revolutionary “type,” implying that the nameless are the true shapers of historical events.

coming up with metafictional descriptions of the character archetypes in chernobog to describe them in terms of themes, like -
“oh you’re too jaded to believe in the possibility of a stable future so you’re self-sabotaging about it”
“oh you’re living out a fantasy of having security for your basic physical and emotional needs”
“oh you’re coping with the aftermath of An Event that left you irrevocably changed and trying to rebuild your sense of self in a society that now fears and reviles you”
“oh you’re cursed with awareness of the narrative” and then some of them right now are just “man, you are one fucked-up little guy. look at you go!”

Do you think a Roman senator ever threw on his toga when he was in a rush, didn't notice it felt heavier than usual, and midway through his speech the curia heard a tiny "meow"

Look, I know Lisa’s behavior re: letting Dean, someone she hasn’t seen in nearly a decade, skulk around her child’s birthday party is best explained by him being The baby-daddy.
But here’s the rub: (1) the angels didn’t even sniff towards Ben and (2) Lisa is (relatively) honest. During the year Dean was actively with her, she would have likely told him. (Cause it’s no small thing.) Especially under The Truth curse where she ranted about the loss of loved ones/hunting. (My take: It’s a cheeky…red herring. Ben was hungry for a father-figure, and Dean’s relationship to him parallels Bobby Singer.)
So while it is a truth that would be kinder to Lisa’s behavioral health/motivations/etc, the latter plot points don’t support it. Yeah, I agree that it actually makes better sense as an initial explanation for her behavior in her intro ep. But these latter points transform her behavior’s root cause, leaning towards her as a (possibly chronic?) caretaker type of person.
We do see that she is caring! She’s got a caretaker persona from her first ep, driving her to help her neighbor. She’s a good friend! Because of the later plot points, we can assume this caretaker/gratitude aspect of her character is more the driver of her actions than hiding a paternity.
