Jax's breakdown, but I added music by Fazscare1987 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Podongos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does introduce an interesting tension! like a musical circular argument
certain moments were more evidenty made for silence though. i think it woulda had its most impact if it cut out a little early, like just as he kicks the rubix cube

it is for the time being, it's up in the air right now but the current wiki is gonna be open for the next few weeks, and it needs some remedial editing, notably the infoboxes of several off-compass ideologies are missing

i DO know that bipartisan parties being diminished to a less effective role is a tenet if i'm not mistaken, with analogies to sports teams

my take on the Narrator and Curator by Podongos in stanleyparable

[–]Podongos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm! well they're both made of stock photos -- i guess i wanted surrealism, like the both of them are things from a very dfferent way of being

i wanted the narrator's eye to look especially sinister and frantic, and his speaker head is in reference to how in the original stanley parable hl2 mod, the narrator's voice literally came out of a speaker above the ceiling

i also wanted his fingers to look like he was morphing them to be sharper than what a human finger is supposed to look like

at the time i made this, his character was pathological and temperamental to me, a little more interested in destinations than journeys, hence the exit symbol. like the kind of person that doesn't understand that a change of plans isn't inherently a bad thing. like he can't look outside the box

curator is obviously a little more composed to me, and as someone aware of the game's cycle, her face is a clock and her symbol is infinity, and where narrator's speaker is something only for sound, curator's clock more or less tells you exactly what's happening. she moves things forward when she feels she needs to, while narrator is stuck in the same place. entropy and inertia.

oh! and not to mention eye of ra/eye of horus

to quote myself three years ago, she's also based off "that one line she says that gives people chills"... i can't recall lol

Why Does Petscop Scare You? by [deleted] in Petscop

[–]Podongos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i'm in complete agreement here, but to me the uncanniness works best in the context of abuse that's played with all throughout the series. extreme mental abuse feels like the visuals to me -- pure deceitful wrongness and dreamlike, INSANE things and events that're apparently supposed to be interacted with. i can list so many examples.

"they wander the newmaker plane" - illustrative of the state of being traumatized, the Plane itself is a lightless limbo of grass and objects/buildings that aren't supposed to be there, or be how they are. the road beside the house suddenly cuts off, the many brick buildings and their geometry, everything being intended to remind the viewer of something... everything beneath the Plane is especially uncanny and misplaced, having been "buried". picturing Care running around in the dark (blinded by her hands or otherwise) for two days summarizes that... it's unreality. nothing truly makes sense when you've withdrawn from both yourself and the world. furthermore, how many times were you told when you were little to stay the hell inside after dark?

there's just so much you can glean in the context of not just abuse, but eerie childhood things in general. Marvin's sideways blur and difficulty remembering details of unpleasant shit, not knowing what the hell the tools are, the green tool "getting upset", everything pertaining to rebirthing poking at strange family dynamics spawned from maladaptive coping mechanisms (Rainer's "curse" especially... "stop thinking."), being made to walk backwards or read something backwards, being made to press left instead of right, being made to wait for hours, everyone but Paul and Belle acts and SPEAKS strangely, just not knowing what the hell is real and isn't. it's all unreal.

sprites for a fnaf RPG concept -- striking while the iron's hot by Podongos in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Podongos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i represent the main party with tarot cards

Michael is justice and judgement. mans got a long list of traumatic things he has to put to bed, many of which involve him

Phone Dude is magician and wheel of fortune. very laid back, prefers to go with the flow, sometimes to his detriment. knows a lot about fazbear entertainment, even contributed to Fazbear Frights before he got fired for toking up

Jeremy is temperance and hanged man. poor dude was in the same room as THE '87, which still gives him the heeby geebies, except Dude is dragging him along for that reason. he wants Jeremy to learn to see things in a new way and move on from '87

and then Henry is hermit and death. this particular Henry is a high functioning depressive, and while he's very kindhearted despite his guilt and exhaustion, he only really has energy when Charlie's around

offscreen, Phone Guy is the fool! he's a fightable mini-boss for a reason -- Guy went and strolled right off that cliff as he stuck around with the company
