It drives me nuts that nobody acknowledges that James Sunderland's jacket is a specific military jacket-- the M-65 field jacket-- and not the now-standard horror protagonist "LL. Bean" jacket. (like Ethan Winters wears)

it is important because it is a specific reference to the film Jacob's ladder, where the character is a Vietnam veteran.

im really sad no one else saw the cult aspects of sh3 more compelling like i did when i first watched a playthrough of it. idk it maybe my religious trauma talking, but the constant talk of bringing salvation and being saved by god steams from the deep primal fear of the world and life and all its sufferings and just the gaping unknown of what comes after death and!!! idk it gripped me personally. along with heather’s struggles with identity, agency, and the constant themes of cycles repeating and rebirth??

Saint Alessa Gillespie Mother of God Daughter of God?? am i the only one who thought this went fucking hard as hell??

in this part of the game when we see this painting, Heather has been going through a lot of self reflecting, especially during the chapel section. We really get to see Alessa’s life was like when she was carrying God, and it’s during this part I think heather accepts that Alessa is an important part of who she is, even if she’s no longer Alessa anymore. I think she says something along the lines of “I’m not Alessa, but Alessa is still me.” at one point. I can’t help but see it as an allegory for self acceptance, specifically the acceptance of trauma/abuse done unto you. Heather’s denial of being Alessa makes sense during the beginning. She has no memory of being Alessa, and people (Claudia) who clearly want to hurt her keep insisting that she is.

But the thing is, Claudia sees heather as Alessa: Mother of God... simply a vessel meant to carry their cult’s deity. not the true Alessa Gillespie. So as the game continues with Heather recovering more memories of her past life, along with suffering the same problems as Alessa did 17 years ago, she truly comes to accept that she was Alessa, who fought SO Hard to be and to live as heather!!! Being heather, or Cheryl Mason, was supposed to be Alessa’s hard won happy ending. After literal years of being tortured in a cocoon of pain and misery, Alessa does escape in the end too, through being reborn as heather. How can heather deny that part of herself that used to be Alessa, after all Alessa has done to get her where she is?

the symbolism of agency and autonomy with the mother of god daughter of god stuff makes me go actually insane. The cult forcing her into motherhood, but Alessa embracing that role to birth a life that She wants to bring into the world? A life that is filled with love and joy (with harry !!! 😭😭😭), her OWN personal paradise??? WAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Follow me on this:

Silent Hill

Is an abandoned Psychonauts facility.

Or a place the agency is trying to suppress.

High psychoactive reactivity manifests inner guilts and terrors in those psychically vulnerable, trapping them in a personal hellscape that seems real. The cult? Psychically affected. The dark gods? Manifestations of the phenomenon taking place there. To those mentally stable it's a calm vacation spot, but those carrying their own damage have their minds altered by the site. Perhaps Tolouca Lake is an impact crater like Lake Oblongata, holding a concentrated nugget of Psitanium or Psilerium or maybe something else? Solarium? Perhaps this deposit is the distant origin of the Halo of the Sun.

Player Choice Thoughts

I wonder if video games will ever learn ways to help the player immerse themselves and forget its a video game.

There’s a lot of content in BG3 that you can only get if you allow yourself to fail or explore an option that doesn’t seem like the best choice. There’s a lot of permutations and options to tell your own organic story.

It makes me think of how in Silent Hill 2, most players get the most depressing ending because of interacting with all objects, taking a lot of damage, not healing to save potions, lingering around to hear content, etc etc But if you put yourself in the character’s shoes FULLY, you would NOT want to do that due to the implications. The meaning of that ending would hit harder rather than being a product of modern gameplay loops.

My point about BG3 is that the game more or less gives you 3 chances with using the tadpole in Act 1, and I feel like the game intends for you to do so. But most players I talk to NEVER use it. And they miss out on additional information from their favorite companions because of it.

Allow your character to make mistakes and exist organically in the game world, and you’ll have a more enjoyable time.

What if Edward ended in Silent Hill? Do you think it would change something in him, or help him resolve his personal issues?

The reason why he stays in town, instead of just leaving, is that Bella also got lost there (somehow). So Edward has to search for her the old way given his lack of tracking skills.

You vastly overestimate the number of times I've played these games or seen these movies.

(The answer is 0 on both counts).

That said, I'm generally dubious about Edward's desire or capacity for personal growth, even if Pyramid Head is involved.

if god did not want me to over-analyse a two second video clip she would not have given me video editing software, so welcome back to alex's unhinged meta corner with me, alex, as your host.

we're going off the deep end with this one.

let's have a look at a. well, you cannot really call it a scene at this point. more of a collection of frames - aziraphale's face right after crowley leaves but before the bell above the door rings. this has been on my list of metas to write anyway, but someone kindly pointed it out which gave me incentive to make this post.

now, my leading theory is that much like his mouth movement before saying "i forgive you", which looked and sounded a lot like the beginning of "i love you", aziraphale is mouthing a silent "don't". presumably, the complete sentence would have been "don't leave".

first things first, why do i think he would say it? well, if you look back at their breakup in the park in season one, aziraphale calls him back when he says he will leave.

"you can't leave, crowley, there isn't anywhere to go".

then, after the fucking mess that is "nothing lasts forever", aziraphale also calls out. "come back". it is also perfectly in line with his previous behaviour to try and keep crowley from leaving again. especially because he almost tells the metatron he will stay just a few minutes later.

some other important things to keep in mind: aziraphale is shaking and about to cry, and also probably still in shock. so his face is doing a number of things and any words he may or may not mouth are slightly skewed due to that.

the first few frames are him taking a breath, so far so good.

this is the part where it looks like he is about to say something and silently begins to mouth don't. if you pay very close attention to his lips, you can see that they get pushed forward just a little bit as one does when saying "do".

you can try it yourself to confirm, i certainly did several times while rewatching the same two seconds like an absolutely sane person.

the last few frames are him closing his mouth again and breaking off whatever he was going to say, but in my opinion, you can still see the ending of that "don't".

alex, you might ask, how do you know that's what he was trying to say? i don't, although i hope once the strike ends someone will ask michael sheen some much needed questions. however, i wouldn't be a scientist if i didn't have evidence to present nevertheless.

i compared two of the frames from above, one from the "do" part and one from the "nt" part with another instance of michael/aziraphale saying "don't" - "i don't think you understand what i'm offering you".

the mouth shape and the movement of his facial muscles looks very similar even taking the whole sobbing and crying business into account.

interestingly enough, once the bell does ring, signaling that crowley has left the store, he not only closes his mouth but also physically steps back even more. he almost says "don't leave", restrains himself by physically pulling back, and then inches even farther from the door.

that is also when his face shifts from completely openly heartbroken to angry/spiteful and heartbroken.

the camera angle changes a little bit but not enough to explain the discrepancy, so yes, he steps backward before turning away and touching his lips. that pillar is honestly a very helpful point of reference. also completely unrelated but the face he makes at the end cracks me up it is LITERALLY >:(

to summarize: someone get michael sheen on the fucking phone before i lose my mind. also you can pry this meta from my dead, cold hands, he almost said "don't leave" and i will die on this hill.

lastly, said two second clip at half speed if you want to have a look for yourself.

"Please don't be Silent Hill. Please don't be Silent Hill." The boy kept up his mantra as they approached the sign from behind.

Sure enough, the sign declared this place was named Silent Hill. The boy, Danny, had explained Silent Hill was a survival horror game franchise and that they were "living out the game" Cass nodded. She dealt with horrors regularly in Gotham and she knew how to survive much better that the average person.

She thought this would be easy.

She was wrong.

Danny as Phantom was ridiculously useful, and his knowledge of the video games was priceless given their situation but even he could only do so much. By the end of it she was carrying her new very tired and very traumatized boyfriend bridal style through Gotham.

Let me tell you, gothamites seeing Black Bat carrying some glowy meta around like that gave many people the absolutely correct idea that BB was dating him.

The batfam are freaking out. Thier sister disappeared for weeks without a trace and then suddenly reappeared with a boyfriend? Suspicious.

#fanfiction prompts #prompts #dp x dc #danny fenton #danny phantom #cassandra cain #cassandra wayne #black bat #batgirl #silent hill #im going to level with you #i know jack all about silent hill #just half the fic is legit horor and then the other half is sappy love stuff and the batfam trying to find dirt on danny

Hi. Thank you for 500 followers!!! 😵

I wanted to do an introductory post for those who don’t know me yet:

Name?

Nicholas. Sometimes known as ‘Sullen’ online.

Gender?

Male. :0 The horror!!!!!!!!

Age?

Adult

Personality?

Shy when offline

Career?

Unfortunately I am a NEET but I volunteer in different places including in a local historic graveyard where I tend to abandoned graves.

Lolita sub-style?

Old-school gothic almost exclusively. I’m a little insane and try to keep my secondhand wardrobe pieces from 1999-2002 as that is my favourite era of lolita. My wardrobe is pretty small because of this, but deeply loved.

Favourite brands?

I collect Alice Kobayashi era MmM. My poor wallet… aside from that, I like indie brands such as Antique BeasT, Queen’s xxx and Kazuko Ogawa. I really admire some of meta’s designs but have found their main pieces to not suit me. I will still keep searching for cute meta accessories.

Music?

Goth and goth-adjacent music of all kinds. 90s visual kei. Japanese gothic rock/ new wave. The silent hill 3 OST. Tommy february.

Inspiration?

Crossdressing male vkei band members. Lolita bangya of the past. Mitsukazu Mihara and Maki Kusumoto’s works. A simple elegant silhouette but in a kind of clumsy youthful way.

Socials?

My instagram is Sullensixxpence which is where I am most active. My dusty old blog is here. We can exchange emails if you are nice.

man if i really wanted to troll, i'd write a whole fake, disingenuous meta post about these two shots and how leon's eyes being shadowed over is symbolic of leon and ada being strangers to each other now who don't recognize each other anymore, and the past that they share is nothing more than a ghost haunting them both

and it'd be complete and total horseshit that i just pulled out of my ass, when the reality is that leon's eyes aren't lit here because his back is to the camera in this shot -- and, therefore, also to the light source

but i could make it convincing enough to make a lot of people really mad.

and like i'm not gonna do it

but man i totally could LMAO i've seen enough silent hill dudebros warp reality and reach into the deepest depths of pyramid head's asshole to make some obscure, irrelevant bullshit fit their argument and call it "symbolism." i know how it's done, at this point.

but like say what you will about my meta

agree or disagree

but if nothing else, it is honest. i don't take things out of context or lie to make a point. and i know that a lot of other people can and do.

Smumbo's top 10 games he happened to play in 2022

Not necessarily games that were released in 2022, just my favorites that I played for the first time last year.

10: Night in the Woods (2017)

by Alec Holowka, Scott Benson, and Bethany Hockenberry

Peak fall vibes game. Night in the Woods features a compelling mystery and some great spooky moments. The setting and characters really resonated with me, so I got a lot out of it.

9: The Pedestrian (2020)

by @skookumarts

Pleasant puzzle game inspired by the signage that surrounds us in our day-to-day lives. Some of the puzzles were quite difficult, and I kind of dislike the direction the game took in its last act, but it was still a very fun and unique experience.

8: South of South Mountain (2022)

by @colorbomb

Cute & hilarious visual novel with a fantastic art style. I could not stop laughing throughout the whole experience.

7: Portal Reloaded (2021)

by PORTANIS

From a pure gameplay standpoint, this was a very satisfying sequel to Portal 2, and it's possibly the closest we'll ever get to a Portal 3. Portal Reloaded introduces a third portal which allows you to travel to the same place at a different time, so certain things have been moved/removed. It gets really complicated, and I’m amazed this was able to be created as a free standalone mod for Portal 2.

6: Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery (2022)

by Grace Bruxner and Thomas Bowker

Approximately 3-4 hours of pure, unadulterated joy and whimsy. I can’t believe it took me this long to play Frog Detective, but I’m so glad I did. Everything about these games resonated with me strongly.

5: OneShot (2016)

by @girakacheezer, @nightmargin, and Eliza Vasquez

A transcendent experience. Explores the unique ways in which video games can tell stories, and the nature of free will. Features some interesting meta game mechanics which require you to interact with files outside of the game. The visuals and soundtrack are spot-on as well. Weird how there’s so many great RPG Maker games which work so well in spite of the engine.

4: Scorn (2022)

by Ebb Software

An incredible audiovisual experience. I liked the gameplay too, even though it seems like a lot of people were disappointed by it. I'm amazed that a game like this even exists. Absolutely oozing with atmosphere and symbolic meaning. The story spoke to me on an incredibly deep level despite lacking words, or even any semblance of humanity.

3: What Remains of Edith Finch (2017)

by Giant Sparrow

One of the greatest games ever made. All of the vignettes and set-pieces throughout the game are flawlessly paced, with a wide variety of gameplay and visual styles. Packed with detail, made with love, and so emotionally resonant. I loved this game.

2: Bloodborne (2015)

by From Software

For years, I would try to play Bloodborne whenever I had access to a PlayStation 4, but I wasn’t able to do a full playthrough until 2022. It lived up to the hype. This is my favorite From Software game, and it’s already one of my favorite games of all time. I really hope this gets a remaster/PC port some day. It’s a masterpiece.

1: SIGNALIS (2022)

by @rose-engine

One of the greatest horror games I’ve ever played. Amazing visuals and atmosphere, fascinating world and lore, and a captivating, mind-blowing cosmic horror sci-fi story. I especially loved the evocative UI designs throughout. Highly recommended if you like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Dead Space, PS1 style games in general, or if you have even a passing interest in survival horror. This is my #1 game of 2022.
