I don’t understand Godzilla Vs Kong.”who wins an alligator or a monkey” alligator every time. “What if they were both big” what if you had sense. You would see
I'd like to introduce everyone to this horrid thing I created about a year ago but haven't shown many people yet (probably for the best).
This is Baby. AKA The Monster. AKA Sight Tremendous and Abhorred, AKA Vile Insect, AKA A Thing Such As Even Dante Could Not Have Conceived, etc, etc. It's made from bits of scrap fabric I scrounged from various sources and is roughly the size of a human toddler. Its design is based on Mary Shelly's original descriptions of Frankenstein's creature.
But that's not all! Behold!
You can dissect this little abomination to reveal a full set of crocheted, knitted, and scrap fabric organs, all hand-stitched by yours truly!
It has a heart, stomach, lungs, liver, small and large intestine, kidneys, bladder, and, of course, a brain! So it can ponder the horrors of its own existence!
I used this pattern by Less Than Three for the heart. I ended up felting it because I screwed up most of the stitches (I was relatively new to crochet at the time). The result was a bit of a blobby mess, but oh well.
So yeah. This thing lives in my house now (my family hates it). I have yet to reap the full consequences of my hubris.
Okay but the Fallout show is SUCH A GOOD EXAMPLE for character driven writing. Both Lucy and Maximus get exactly what their goal was throughout the show - Lucy finds her father and learns the truth about her mother, Maximus becomes a hero to the Brotherhood and will most likely be knighted now. And yet, Wilzig told Lucy in the second episode that by the end of her journey, she might not want the same things anymore. And he was right. They both get what they wanted, and they both hate it. They both realize these are hollow victories, that what they wanted is not all it's cracked up to be, and part of that is because they are not the same people they were anymore when their journy started. They have SEEN the world with changing perspectives and now Lucy sees that her own father is no better than Moldaver, that her own mother did no longer trust him. The line she said when they left vault 4, that her father would never forgive her if she wiped out an entire community just to save him, hits a lot different once you know HE wiped out AN ENTIRE CITY WITH A BOMB because his wife left him and took their children with her away from a man who lied to everyone she held dear. And he didn't even take her home with him, he left her there, just took the children, which makes all his 'I miss her every day' bullshit sound very hollow. And Maximus, who saw the Brotherhood as literal knights in shining armour, became so disillusioned because of Knight Titus' cowardice, the betrayals, the pain, and then seeing the corruption of the cleric who just wants power, and now he ends up being a hero to these people. And Cooper, Cooper went to the same thing, just 2 centuries earlier when he found out his wife was not who he thought she was. They are just very neat characters!
