I have come back to you as I left: a fool.
do you ever wish you'd been a little more vague around the lore of divines in Counter/WEIGHT such that Rigour wasn't the first or there was more of a mystery to their genesis?
Not even a little bit. We told a great story about it, maybe one of the best stories we've told. It brings me great relief that we don't need to answer that question, we can move on and ask and answer new, different ones.
“It is with great joy and humility that we make the debut of this machine today..."
It's way more interesting seeing how yall have history remember such details in your worlds. We might know how rigour led to the diaspora, oricon, And apostalos, but how does the world remember them, five hundred, five thousand years later
i suppose the better question that i was asking around was, "do you feel the serialized nature of the podcast gets in the way of telling a tidier [not really the word i'm looking for; neither is 'cleaner' since interesting stuff happens in the messy parts, but forgive me, words are failing me at the moment] story, one where you could go back and revise/clean up as needed?"
in any event, thank you for answering my question.
Totally, it definitely does, which is something we both enjoy and struggle with when we do the work of conceptualizing what an adaptation to other media would look or feel like. But this is honestly the narrative format I’m strongest in, and partly that’s because of the messiness it allows!
