it's good to relisten to the silt verses from the beginning from time to time so that you can feel a deep and inconsolable sadness well up from within when you realise how much more desperate and exhausted carpenter sounds with each successive season

And as she wept before the grave, the first buds of the Woundtree stretched out around her and formed a bower to shelter her from the falling rain.
It’s tragic, it’s compelling. People understand it, they sympathise with it. It keeps us safe.
I hate her, quite a lot.
Everyone go listen to @thesiltverses NOW. i love Paige so much its not even funny
[ID: fanart of Paige Duplass from the Silt Verses kneeling with tree roots growing from her skin. Paige is a thin white woman with long, straight brown hair and brown eyes. She is nude with her hands twisted in the air above her head. Roots protrude from her flesh, tangling and twisting around her. White crocus flowers bloom from her mouth and one of her eyes, and the flowers frame her silhouette. She looks towards the camera with one anguished eye, a bloody tear gouged into the skin underneath. Where the roots touch her skin, her flesh is marked by deep, bloody wounds. End ID]

Listening to the Silt Verses is great. I feel like I'm hearing the TMA gang agonize over the harm they could cause by working for the watcher and then it cuts to the General Mills board room and the CEO is saying "We didn't quite get the profits we wanted under the Desolation last quarter so we will be switching to the Corruption. Prepare some employees for sacrifice."

it must be said that i simply love to watch a character destroy all their relationships in an attempt to get what they think they want only to achieve their goals and be lonelier and more depressed than ever. and to realize they can never go back and are trapped at the top of the hill playing their part. its the dream you never wake up from!!

Sometimes when l tell people I like horror podcasts they go "oh, same, I love true crime!!" and I just have to nod along, because there is no way to explain to them that we exist in entirely separate worlds and also that my opinion of them just went down by like 15%

really i think one of my favorite character dynamics is “i don’t actually like you but we’ve been through so much together that i’d trust you with my life and know that we will always back each others calls. but i still wouldn’t trust you with my car keys.” like “we aren’t really friends but we’ve been thrust into an intense situation where you are the only other person i know so now we’re besties.” and “if it weren’t for our years of history i would have literally nothing to talk to you about at this work dinner.” Enemies to lovers has NOTHING on general disinterest to begrudging acknowledgment to discovering that this person is now an inextricable part of your life

something i really appreciate about VAL is how utterly mundane she really is. she's not anyone special, her backstory isn't anything unusual even by ordinary real life standards, let alone silt verses ones; in fact there's basically nothing about her that makes her unique. the only times we hear her refer to herself as anything of note are when she sarcastically tells the man she's about to kill to "marvel at me", and when she compares herself to a god in a moment of whimsical vanity the moment is immediately cut short by her stumbling across a mass grave, which undercuts any claims to godhood she might have by proving her incapable of one of the core tenets of divinity as we see her fail to perform the miracle of raising the dead. she's literally just a person. "she can talk, she can listen, she can follow orders, she can snark like you or i can", she sings, she's self-aware; she doesn't even really care about the war she was created to win, she just wants to understand why her mother couldn't love her. but all her choices - her actions, and their consequences - are given the weight of a god's power, the destructive impact of sheer possibility. if you torture an already unstable human being to insanity and then give them a weapon of mass destruction!!

podcasts are great because it's like having a friend tell you about their day while you're doing the dishes but instead it's a bunch of guys running around and experiencing the horrors

My wife is walking towards me across the dancefloor, and as she passes, the hollow dancers wither, their ribcages folding in upon themselves, bowing in deflation.
Allegra’s face is cut with blood-black lines, etched squares and streets.
Her face is a jigsaw. Her face is a map.
Her eyes are doorways.
