Happy Werner We Nes Day

"Art is illusion, storytelling, but in their most sublime form, these images form a path to truth." -- Father Piero

I have yet to finish this game, but the storytelling absolutely captivates me. I think it also endears to me that we are taken along this journey through the lens of an artist, a consequential journey that spans decades. A sort of legacy seen through the vibrant colors of the medieval world.

Special thanks to @emp-roar who dragged me along for the ride as I translate the german contents directly for her (even when I do not need to hahaha)

It’s time to craft the ultimate pathetic self-insert OC for the tenth time.

(PS Thank you sm for the love on my last Pentiment fanart! Yall r the best)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diana (Ghisi) Stolz - Florentine born. Arranged wife of Werner Stolz. Diana is quite awkward and blunt when first knowing her. She likes to draw in her free time. (Name is work in progress)

Relationship status: Not really romantically inclined with each other but they respect and hold high regard for one another.

Show don’t tell: Diana seems to struggle fitting in with Tassing but in later acts grew to find her “calling” per se. Your actions towards Werner can affect the outcome of Diana in Act III.

First interaction:

[Scene: Stolz house interior, Diana is folding sheets by the beds] D: “So you’re the artist that broke my husband’s nose?” [Andreas is given a choice of dialogue options, but no matter what the reply will be, it's an introduction and apology] [Diana surprisingly smiles] D: “It’s fine. Reminded me of what I’ve did when I first met him.” A: ”…” A: “I…better go now.” D: ”…” D: “Oh. Ok. Until later.” A: “Until Later, Mrs. Stolz [x]”

What you don’t see: Diana develops an unlikely friendship with Brother Florian. They actually knew each other lightly before the events of Pentiment, since he visits Tassing before for medical help. If you’ve head butted Werner during the inspection scene, Werner will tell on the Abbott, thus resulting Brother Florian being punished by having no more access to the library books (If I remember correctly on my last gameplay, I forgot if Claus giving him the Italian book was ever mentioned). From time to time, Diana would drop by a book to the infirmary for him to read. If given the opportunity, she would come inside to teach him Italian. As an informal apology from Werner’s unnecessary insults earlier she stated.

Inspirations: Else Mülleryn, Gnaziu Agostini, Werner Stolz, Leonardo Da Vinci's Gerneva de' Benci, most works by Florentine painter Andrea del Sarto like his Lady with a Book of Petrarch's Rhyme, Lorenzo Lotto's Study of a Married Couple, Vittoria Collona, Sofonisba Anguissola

things we need to address:

gen z men getting pulled into alt-right pipelines through andrew tate, joe rogan, elon musk, jordan peterson etc

the gullibility and stupidity of half the country voting against our collective best interests

the broad effect social media has on public and common good

lazy minds and lack of empathy

outside-country interference (trump and elon’s connections to russia and the amount of bots from other countries spreading misinformation)

the long-term effects of AI and rampant disinformation

Same, love being in the minority of non Jayce haters

...You know, I've never been a Jayce hater.

"I don't like Boromir." My honest reaction

If I have to see one more “we survived him before we can do it again” post I’m going to scream.

So many people didn’t. So many more people are going to die. Women are going to bleed out in parking lots because doctors are scared to give them the abortion they need. Migrates are going to die in detention centers. Kids are going to have their parents ripped away in mass deportations. Potentially millions of people are going to lose their healthcare.

Yes, we keep fighting, but don’t say we survived before. A lot of people didn’t.

Aw man. I wanted to have the trending Jayvik brainrot, not the random artist and doctor pairing from the inactive fandom called Pentiment brainrot

(Wer..dreas..? Stolz…Maler… Sto..ler…??)

Big o'l eyes

Look at him, poor stygian barely eats the way he's shaped like a stick, give him a healthy meal he's starving. How can you say no to those eyes?
