Alt Text: Two digital drawings of Louis from Interview With The Vampire.  The first features Louis looking towards the viewer.  He stands in front of an orange skyline.  His features are obscured by shadow.  The second Image is the same as the first but with a ‘glitch’.  Pieces of the picture are out of place or distorted, as if there was an issue with the film the picture was captured on.

The Outsider: A Complete Archive. Bound In Real Leather.

The Outsider: a complete archive. Bound in real leather.

What a project! I started this typeset last year and after two practice binds here is, finally, the real deal. This little book includes every line of dialogue spoken by the Outsider in the Dishonored games, all ripped and typeset by yours truly.

I learned a ton since this was my first foray into bookbinding. It was frustrating, it was fun, I'm proud of the result despite the myriad of flaws. Two of these binds are for mutuals, one is for me.

There was a ton of thought that I put into this typeset so I included some info about it under the cut.

I typeset this project in A6 instead of the standard A5 so it wouldn't feel like I was wasting a ton of material if this project had gone wrong - but also to stretch out a comparatively small amount of text into an amount of pages more appropriate of a book. All in all there's under 9000 words in this book but thanks to the small format it's just over 100 pages long. And it meant I could use normal office paper without ending up with the wrong grain direction!

I decided against hyphenation for 99% of the typeset because it felt like adding hyphens made the small amount of text even smaller. Almost every line was edited typographically in some way to make the text feel good to me, adding line breaks and so on, idk I don't know graphic design but I did what felt right to me, so it really did take a long, long time just to typeset it all.

I wanted it to include everything including cut lines, so I included those in red and italics in the appropriate spots hovering over and through the normal text. I was trying to elicit the feeling of a ghostly afterimage or a later correction or amendment of the text. This did mean cutting the cut lines down to just the important parts, e.g. I only included the "to be a dancer" part of the cut version of the "When Billie Lurk was eight" line.

The little stars demarcate scene divisions. Empty stars mark scenes that are exclusive of each other - only one version of each scene is played in a run. The start of each scene subsection is marked with a quest marker from the DH2 journal. The lines that start at these markers connect exclusive possibilities - as with the scenes separated by empty stars above, only one subsection per level of line is played in one run. The stars are admittedly used very inconsistently because I just found they broke up some sections way too much, but the quest markers and lines should be consistently used throughout the work at least haha

The cover has been stamped with 3d-printed stamps and the impressions then painted with gold leather paint in order to give an (easier, cheaper) approximation of gold foil tooled leather. I kept it very minimalistic because the sort of story I originally wanted to tell with it is that since this is obviously a heretical book it would be very subtle in its exterior so as to not draw unwanted attention, only revealing its forbidden nature if you pulled it off the shelf and opened it. After deciding I did want to include the title on the spine that story doesn't quite work anymore, but the somewhat reduced minimalistic design still suits the Outsider, I think.

i want to see old men with full beards learning ballet and i want to see terrible art from people in their 30s who have only just got their first tablet and i want to see mothers picking up their old hobbies from before they were told it wasn’t okay to have hobbies and i want to see people in their early 20s figuring out how to be alive by making bad music in their bedrooms and i want zines to be handmade paper pamphlets of devotion and i want creation to be fun again instead of a competition where we all have to monetise joy until we lose the invaluable currency of unashamed love again

The contradiction between what we were playing and reality is this: Oftentimes we worked until two or three in the morning. We’re not the only company still shooting, but, yeah, we’re late. Cars are going through the gate, the arm comes down. There’s a line of cars. Then when I get there, the gate comes down and security says to me, “Open your trunk.” I said, “No. Why? All these other cars just … Why? What do you think I have in this Volkswagon Rabbit? What’s in there, the Defiant?” What I’m trying to say is that the contradiction, or the paradox of it all, we can’t get away from. You see what I mean? I wish sometimes that were true; that the fact I played Sisko would make some kind of difference on the street. No, only on the screen. The contradictions are evident. They are inescapable in a way.”

Avery Brooks, quoted in, The Fifty-Year Mission - The Next 25 Years, Volume 2, Edward Gross, Mark A. Altman

you know those little critical thinking questions that they had at the end of short stories in literature textbooks? we should start putting those in posts. i miss them,,,,,,

questions:

what call to action is the author arguing for?

why does this work lack capitalization? what might this tell you about the author? what might this tell you about the context this work is meant to be read in?

is the addition of the questions self referential? does that make this post humorous? how so? how would the post be different without the addition of the questions?
