Why isn’t everyone talking about Pavarti from the game “The Outer Worlds”?
Like she literally a canonically sapphic asexual female character that you as the player character can bond with over being asexual. How is Tumblr not losing it’s mind 24/7 over that?
She is literally the first companion you meet too! You literally get a mission to wingman her into dating the captain of the biggest non-corperate trade hub in the system!
I mean, sure the game is old, but I’m having a blast!
(please don’t spoil anything for me beyond the point where Pavarti starts dating that captain and the unreliable takes flight, I’ve only just started playing the game really)
Because like at the end of the day we’re The Audience, right? And The Audience was always part of it. The Audience was who it was all for. The Audience was the one responding and reinforcing. We were there watching even if we weren’t laughing. But Kevin is dead now, and the show is over, and no we don’t get to know if Patty and Allison get together, if Neil improves, or if Diane gets away. They don’t perform anymore. Now they have to—get to—live the rest of their lives without a laugh track or “woos” or “awws,” either in the studio or in our homes.
Patty asked where this all ends once and the answer is here. The stage will never reset again. They keep going. They will or they won’t. They’ll grow or they won’t. But when they do it’s just for themselves now, no one else is watching.
