glad you survived the storm :)

thanks, it wasn't so bad for us. there was flooding up and down the street but we kept power the whole time. inlaws' house got flooded tho

...i think scarberrys dialogue fucks with me so bad because the script is responding to the wiki page for the cult of the mothman, which i wrote

i can also be 100% positive this specific wiki page is of note because Modiphius staff confirmed to me that their description of a mothman fig set was copied from what i had written. it's also just very common knowledge that fallout writers refer to the wiki as much as internal docs, & there are several other examples in the IP

what's bothering me right now is... ok so i began the cosmology section with the assertion "They believe they are in contact with a being called 'the Wood,' always capitalized," and Brother Scarberry Constantly Capitalizes Words To Denote Spiritual Significance

so him not capitalizing "wood" in that offhand lore bomb feels very cheeky. like oh cool now i have to be fully suspicious of the word "wood" in all contexts, and i have even less clear language to describe how this works. well played

one week until i have to play starf eel

i rly get paid as much as my day job to do this. very grateful to everyone who reads the blog and otherwise participates

i swear all my breakthrough posts get zero notes

this is confirmation that the firstborn of the wood was once a human. it's a big deal

Is the Mothman named after the moths, or are moths named after Him?

Brother Scarberry: Towards the Whitesprings I could faintly saw a woman in need of help. She ran unobstructed through the trees before I lost sight of her near an old cemetery.

A very friendly man. While his personality was cold, he could not shake his smile. I feel as though we were looking for similar things.

yaaaay

Brother Scarberry: I saw a light fall from the sky. I hoped for Him, but instead found metal, smoke, and debris. Nothing else except for a fuzzy painting of a man in a blue shirt.

nice

You see, since I was selected by Mothman Himself, I am seen as a Beacon. A source of His Light!

oh what

Brother Scarberry: An Elder once implied that the one behind RobCo was lacking in the soul. But fear not! Regardless of your technology, you will find guidance.

yall. brother scarberry mentions Mr House

Vault scum: He created a robot that thought it was a sheep. I think it killed him. Brother Scarberry: Ah hubris. We have a story about a moth that flew too close to the sun and burned their wings. It seems he had the same outcome with False Gods.

all of scarberrys lines are mad cursed. i cant really get into it in text. i would need to rave

i suspect his repeated deployment of Butterfly is an allusion to mariposa. he does several classic fallout nods, including a joke about Jet being a myth. he's quite an anomaly
