InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'm still thinking about Iron Lung. There's something really tragic there about resisting connection as self protection. and not out of being misguided at all. Eden, COI, and the blood ocean all wanted Simon to be in community w them, & all were legitimately wildly unsafe 000

InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Backrooms, Iron Lung, Obsession... I didn't set out to catch up on horror movies specifically lol! lot of good recent ones. I still need to see Mandalorian & Grogu. palette cleanser? I'll be like. where's the metaphor for isolation & trauma in the modern world? what a weird movie 010

InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026again not as dark of an example as Obsession. but there's a rlly important conversation to be had abt the general question of like. "if this person seems happy to only do what I want to do, or doesn't act like an equal to others generally, do I say 'yay awesome' or get curious & concerned for them." 010
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026just saw Obsession. not the same thing, but when I was younger, I had 2 very one-sided friendships in a row. a lot of the advice out there was like "uhh set boundaries?" w little to no validation that it's betrayal when someone *can* get the version of you that's their accessory & they're like. cool 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Iron Lung was made by someone who makes things for the internet, based on a game by someone who makes things for the internet. feel like there's something there abt being by yourself in your room interacting w the outside world through data, & in the end you just hope someone finds what you made 010

InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I posted chapters 15 and 16! I think the story will wind back to them getting inside the Abbey by chapter 19, and after that I think I'll try switching focus back to Sly Dogs for a bit. 000

InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think I'll write Harmony Engineer for 6 more chapters, up to the point where they get inside the Abbey, & then check out the Sly Dogs WIP and see if I can get to the end of part 1 or at least post another chapter. I've written a lot this week! I have those 6 chapters drafted, at least partly! 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 24/09/2026bleh I feel behind on my fics. but nevertheless there is not and never will be a fan fiction deadline 😅 I just impatiently want a good-sized ao3 catalogue. & the satisfaction of finishing a longfic. & to write everything down before the sequel makes all of my hcs Wonders of Obsolete 😅 000

InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I'm on playthrough 4 of Lies of P bc I got the 'best' ending the first time but didn't! get! the trophy! bc the game was like 'want to do NG+' and I'm like 'surely you wouldn't ask me this if there was content after the credits' (there was content after the credits). so I've gotta go back for it 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I made up a character for a Lies of P fic & named her Enrica. She's an artist from the Malum District (an art forger tbh). I just found out that the artist behind a common/enduring drawing of OG Pinocchio is named Enrico. what a happy accident... or um, clever & intentional reference :P 010

InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026either I get more cool lore & screen time for a character I love, or everything I love abt him becomes so removed from who he actually is, as someone else's character, that I was tricked into making my own character this whole time. & now I get a character to polish up & repurpose. 2 paths i guess! 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026all that being said, I'm not going to stay with the series if they write Paracelsus as a Simon Manus type villain who's only in the story to defeat so the hero can protect all the worthy characters. & I'm not gonna fight him if he's a boss fight that represents killing him & not just defeating him. 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026that is to say, he's very quick to put the emphasis on the thing that he can do for someone, & make himself 'the man behind the curtain', unimportant, not interesting. which is to say that this kind of thing could be vibe foreshadowing for the next game, where he will feature prominently(?) 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026if Paracelsus wrote the letter to Antonia abt getting the gold coin fruit tree w the hotel in Overture, he was like "eh you don't want to hear me ramble, let's talk business." & he gives P the cube as a down payment on gold coin fruit, making things transactional right away. 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I wouldn't go so far as to theorize that Paracelsus is THE wizard of Oz (could be I suppose), but they operate in similar ways. they want you to see them as a miracle worker, & they are actually quite vulnerable (assuming Paracelsus is in real danger, he is so so scared for his life the whole time) 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026so yeah going off of (checks notes) a 3 word title & absolutely no other new information, the next game could continue the commentary on lying to ask what happens when the lying is actually bad & your courageous act of humanity is to be true to yourself 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026If you think of a type of lying where you're doing a bunch of smoke & mirrors bullshit to appear grand, & if you call that type of lie a Wonder, Wonders of O also means Lies of O 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026the 'Wonder' part of the phrase 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' is a lie 🤔 the wizard himself has no real power. The characters start the story believing in Wonder, and they end the story believing in themselves. ties into lying and the value of your own humanity for sure 🤔 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Wizard of Oz has themes about like. home, and also that you are exactly who you need to be all along (the actually brave lion wanting to be less cowardly, the actually empathetic tin man wanting a heart, Dorothy wanting to go home when she could the whole time) 🤔 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The idea that lying is part of being human is nuanced and inherently controversial. Theres a conversation there. I'm so curious about what the 'conversation' is for the next one. Wonder isn't controversial, but it is subjective. The world of Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer is wondrous but terrifying 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026& lying isn't an uplifting vibe by itself, but "Lies of Humanity" (a double meaning for "Lies of P" in Korean) does have an uplifting vibe. If Wonder in the title means wonder as a theme for the work, I like the 'positive (amid the grotesque)' throughline 000
InscrutableGreatHornedOwl @inscrutableowl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I like the tone that the title sets for Wonders of O. Seeing all the blood death & zombies the first game had & assuming the devs won't make a major departure with tone, & considering that Oz has its dangers in the original books, I'd guess a 'wonder' is a wonder like, grotesque/haunting/beautiful 000
