Another Thing I Love About Drawtectives Is How Julia Just...doesn't Do Exposition. Very Rarely Does She

another thing I love about Drawtectives is how Julia just...doesn't do exposition. very rarely does she need to put on a GM voice and narrate something that's happening. her beautiful, detailed backgrounds provide the location. her excellently designed character sprites (with minimal animation) show other people around. her voice acting gives them characterization and she purposefully has a personal player character to guide events if need be.

any additional world context can be gotten from various posters and newspaper articles.

It's just so different than other roleplaying games I've watched. Even in Drawga, that has a similar drawing-based premise, Caldwell is forever giving explanations of what's happening around them and the results of the characters' actions. Julia doesn't need to explain whether something they tried to do worked, because they literally don't have a pass/fail mechanics. There's no dice, no skills, no levels. Aside from the season 1 individual abilities (2 out of 3 of which were functionally useless, though comedy gold), there's no specific actions the characters can take other than draw.

How does this game even work? I don't know, but it works perfectly and I love it so much.

when it all burns down….

The band Ghost is so fucking funny to me. Their frontman currently looks like this:

Or some version of a horny goth clown, but the guy underneath it has got the wettest saddest eyes I've ever seen. Just look at him:

This man admits to being very sensitive and cries at the drop of a hat.

He has a wife and kids.

He wears the costume because he doesn't like the way he looks on stage as a rockstar.

He treats the audience like his children. They're officially called the children of Ghost for that and also because of the play on "children of god."

The band literally fucks around on stage while riffing this badass music. They go through physical comedy skits every concert like the three stooges. For example:

Two demons throw guitar picks at each other when they get angy.

One guy grinds and licks the stage like a cat in heat.

One of them shakes their tits at goth clown man and scares him shitless.

One of them twirls goth clown man like a ballerina as he dances by them.

Several of them slap goth clown's ass when he waddles by.

He created the band to make people happy, to celebrate being a fucking weirdo because he always felt left out, and to make fun of Christianity because it makes people feel bad. He lost his older brother, and it tore him up so bad that the music he made as a result launched him into a worldwide music career.

This man ends every concert "ritual" with three things:

1. Be nice to each other

2. Help each other

3. Go fuck yourself

(Literally and figuratively)

Their music is 70% "fuck me I'm so horny", 10% "I love you so much" and 20% "ethereal badass metal".

Look at how much fun he's having, dude.

It's literally just a rock band filled with the nicest people on earth wearing costumes like a Shakespearean play. And all they do is make up funny little lore stories and serve cunt.
