Happy easter!
Okay but like I wonder if earth c has a genre of media thats just modern retellings / retellings/ Reimaginings of the events of the game but like the denizens of earth c treat those events like we treat mythology.
Like imagine if you will. Youre like, Dirk or someone right, and you hear about this niche indie folk group called the Machinations or whatever who pretend to be immortal space pirates. theyre supposed to do a lot of tragedies. Not really your scene but whatever.
Then you learn that apparently the bit of the game where you chop your head off and ship it to Jake for a smooch is a bonafide Myth, with all the Trappings of religious ceremony and discourse. Very weird to think about, but again, whatever.
Then you learn that the Machinations have Retold This Story. In song form. And youre like okay wait what bc theres an entire subset of people going wild over it so you listen and the song is a jaunty electroswing deal where a half feral Brittish man pretending to be you sings about needing a lil love to heat up along with the heat of the literal volcano
So you are now realizing theres an entire album of these things reimagining your creation of the entire universe as a 1920s esque bootlegging operation gone horrorterrors with cosmic horror somehow and you gotta wonder. What goes through your head there? Hope no one knows yet? Indifference? Annoyance that the sole rap number on the album was given to Jane and Gumshoe Gunshow ? like what do you as god do when people are writing highly marketable fanfiction about you
@cure-typhoon GOD can you imagine. Your name is Karkat Vantas and youre only just now unpacking to your earth therapist about your friends, who are the recently discovered super secret 'old Gods' o the rest of the denizens of earth c, and then you switch to a lifetime movie and its murderstuck. But that bears the question of which is worse: a faithful shot for shot recreation of the story, or one with... Creative liberties?
Bc on the one hand. If its shot for shot thats just catching a glimpse of your exact trauma in broad daylight, triggering the most fearful insect brain part of your brain, but if it's faithful then it can at least be passed off as a show of devotion to the faith. But if it's a "reimagining"?
What do you do if its a showrunner deciding that the ""story"" where all of gods friends are hunted one by one is too problematic and decides to Fix It? How do you as Karkat Vantas feel as you catch that one scene, and its supposed to depict Feferi's death, but in this dramatized version she scoffs at Sollux's KOd body (bc obvs it wouldnt be girlpower if she tried to attack Because Of A Boy, and Sollux obviously deserved it, so-), only for Eridan to attack her for no reason? Maybe even a vers where Feferi doesnt even get the chance to fight back bc Eridan's shift is so sudden and unexplainable? A version where Sollux has to cradle Feferi's corpse after the fictional Karkat scurries off, blindly feeling the puncture wounds in Feferi's neck?
What do you as God do when people are taking your life and criticizing your trauma for not being 'realistic' enough? As if your life experiences need to be fixed so that theyre more easily marketed to the public who want desperately to see the motes of your suffering?
I know that someone is gonna be in the notes with pitchforks but generally speaking The person that would be the worse boyfriend out of dirk and jake is jake. Jake would be a bad boyfriend. and if youre insane enough to think dirk is the least dateable between the two its because you're a jake in your relationships
