Ok am I the only one who doesn’t really like how the fandom treats suitcase? Specifically some of the people who want her to win.
Everywhere I look I’m seeing “suitcase deserves to win because she’s been through a lot”, “suitcase should win she had hallucinations” etc, when her ENTIRE ARC was centered around rising above that.
In episode 16, Baseball went easy on her when she revealed she was having hallucinations, and that’s basically how a lot of suitcase fans are treating her, as if her trauma is a reason for her to win/give her a break, like it’s a REWARD or something. Nickel didn’t treat her like a friend and took advantage of her, and her arc was becoming confident and standing up for herself, BREAKING FREE OF THE EXPECTATIONS EVERYONE HAD OF HER, and now so many people are just ignoring that & belittling her character, putting those expectations BACK on her like nothing changed, and it’s just so infuriating??
ofc the majority of suitcase fans aren’t like this. But I’ve seen a lot of youtube comments especially do this. And it’s sad bc it’s just COMPLETELY fundamentally misunderstanding her entire character. By saying suitcase should win PURELY bc she went through a lot of shit you are running over her character development with a bull dozer and it is Not Okay.
Suitcase is my bbg and u should take to heart what MePhone said at the end of ii16, (might not be exact) “who will win, the strong one or the weak one? Which is which?” Both Knife and Suitcase went through very different things, their arcs mirror each other and that is what is beautiful about it!! ppl should recognize that although she isn’t perfect she should NOT be patronized just because of her character. She is there to WIN and COMPETE, she is on equal level to Knife, and is not there to be pitied by her fans.
Conclusions were drawn from their dialogue sounds and manner of speech in general in addition to my personal flair and interpretation.
And here's an incomplete list of mental notes on actually writing dialogue for characters:
expresses genuinely what he feels and what he means, though he's reserved and leaves a lot unsaid
casually playful and whimsical when talking to others or commenting on things
smooth talker
speaks delicately and de-escalatory when faced with a stressful situation
using british slang on occasion, yeah?
often encouraging or reassuring those she talks to
teasing, witty and playful with anyone not named jimmy
stutters when speaking to those named jimmy but outside of that, speaks smoothly with enthusiasm
speaks with implications, basically says iconic deep meaningful shit in a non-direct way
mean, harsh, sarcastic and taunting
like anya, he says some deep shit but in a poetic and direct way
reminds me of Disco Elysium dialogue in terms of vibes
speaks grandiosely
" ain't, goin', el capitano, downstairs longnose, hear hear, ol' codger, rumb-a-tumblin' " very fun to write
unfocused, emphasizes words, informal
speaks at the same time as he thinks, most of his dialogue feels like a stream of thoughts
filler words like, totally like everywhere man
dry, spiteful and bitter remarks, always sounds like he's annoyed at everything
no whimsical or heartfelt comments about anything
uses metaphors and veils his words, spinning them in ways to fit his goals. twists his own words as well as others'
steals phrases from others
persuasive
my youngest sibling has been drawing inanimate insanity suitcase everywhere in Sunday school and apparently all the other kids have become infatuated and are drawing her aswell. Just today I saw suitcase ii drawn on the back of a dusty car
Recreation because I didn’t wanna take a picture. You are an icon bootleg Christian suitcase
Inanimate Insanity Knifecase: Knife (as the ghost) possesses Suitcase to be able to hold her.
Fun fact about this piece: on bluesky, the unspilled mouthwash version has more likes than the original 😭😭 the people yearn for happy and wholesome stuff
OJ: if you could, would you go back to the start of season 1? What would you change?
(also I’m glad you liked the previous art!! Here’s some more cuz low key I’m like OBSESSED w this au and blog, the art you all make is so pretty!!)
oh, that's a hard question. i mean, honestly? i don't think i would. i still enjoy the memories i have from season one for the most part.
(it's only the final part of the season i would change, anyways.)
// ii2 17 spoilers!
this was a lot better in my head
