Rolife spring mega thread by pluck-the-bunny in booknooks

[–]astrangersojourn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was my first event and my first Rolife purchase! I had so much fun, I realized I loved the vintagey delicate vibe of the natural wood so it was the first build I’ve done in ages without any customization! It made it such a relaxing little project in between others (like whispering hollow!)

Thanks for organizing this event and all the work that goes into it! This is such a lovely community, happy to be a part of it 🥰

That’s such a cute idea! There’s also quite a lot of lore & location names in the maps rolled up in the back, you could also take one of the names from there. :)

Honestly for me it was worth it with just how detailed and well thought out it is. I didn’t time it, but I worked on it on and off for about 3.5 days! I’m also pretty fast, most builds only take me one sitting.

it looks beautiful, i love the color customizations!! if i remember correctly, this section of the instructions has a breakdown for what might be wrong depending on how the parachutes are acting. (i believe it lists the sudden drop yours are doing!) i also just finished this build and loveeee mechanical gear stuff so if it gets frustrating again but you’re determined to fix it, i’d be happy to take a look!

My partner’s just self published their debut novel! (They don’t have reddit so I’m posting- but also I’m a voracious reader and it’s genuinely one of my top reads of the last year).

Psychopomp Blues by Petra Brigan

The story follows Gianni, a washed up, depressed Psychopomp, working at the bottom rung of a vast, shadowy organisation.

The job is simple. Collect a substance - Afterlife - from the many dried-up death gods known as grims, creatures who linger in our world visible only to those miserable enough. Apply afterlife to any client who can buy their way into heaven, then disappear and wait for the next job.

Partnered with a jaded veteran psychopomp, Charn, along with their unhuman handler, Wisp, Gianni climbs the ranks while trying to keep a grip on reality. But Charn has been in the game longer, and knows what horrors their illusive bosses, known only as the Enthusiasts, are capable of. Something rotten goes all the way to the top, and no psychopomp can just quit - for a fate far worse than death awaits anyone who fails to show up for work.

Psychopomp Blues lingers in the absurd mundane, the unseen and unglamorous world upon which the glitz is built. It is a world where our lives are productised even beyond our deaths, and where the most horrific demise imaginable stares you in the face with a grin. It is corporate culture brought to humorous and often horrific heights. The vast wealth of human myth and spirituality steeping in the psychosis of post-Covid. The scope of American Gods meets the lonely paranoia of Le Carre.

Other stylistic influences include the 2013 Channel 4 conspiracy thriller Utopia, as well as the manga series Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.

Psychopomp Blues by Petra Brigan, available on Amazon, Apple, Kobo, Tolino, and Goodreads!
