[Image description: a drawing of Carpenter from episode four of The Silt Verses. She has long red hair and is wearing a green coat, brown pants, a black shirt, and a black hat with a large brim. She is kneeling on a roof and is calling down to someone out of frame. The roof is on fire and there is smoke billowing behind her. She is yelling, “Hey Charity! Tell me more about your god!” End image description].
We dress in the things we kill, in sallow bone and in bloodied rough fur. We accept the Beast That Stalks, with gratitude, into ourselves.
[Image description: a drawing of Mercer and Gage from The Silt Verses podcast. They are both riding horses through a fire. Gage is on the horse in the front and Mercer is on the one in the back. They both have medium-light skin, blond hair, and are wearing bloodied furs and bones. Gage has a dog skull on their head while Mercer has a goat skull. There are shotguns in holsters on the sides of both horses. Mercer and Gage appear unbothered by the fire. End image description.]
The Silt Verses Season 2 launches tomorrow and we can’t wait to share it with you!
But just in case you’re struggling to remember everything that happened in Season 1, we asked a few of our amazing voice actors to help us out with a bit of a season recap:
the silt verses + religious horror that really stuck with me
(Steve Shell, The Silt Verses End of Season Q&A//The Silt Verses Chapter VI: It Winds, It Worms, It Wends//End of Season Q&A//The Silt Verses Chapter III: Then I’ll Speak of Champions)
“If they won’t let you, will you be the one who makes it stop?”
Carpenter from the newest episode. Sometimes, when you get back from the dead, you just gotta go a bit Jason Vorhees on some fucked up government scientists.
[Description: The title reads, in faux-medieval text, ‘The Immeasurable Apotheosis of Sid Wright.’ The words are surrounded by barbed wire and flowers.]
“How can you love something you don’t truly understand?”
“How can you speak for a god whose face has not been revealed to you?”
The new episode of the silt verses was oddly powerful. I’m used to a consistent theme of the characters being unable to escape their own fate or what their god had chosen for them, but Paige was able to convince Hembry to try and break away from his god. And it worked. It may have destroyed him in the process, but this gives me hope about Paige’s build a god plan. Not to mention the literal Hayward escaping his own fate when Paige unkilled him.
[id: digital sketch of carpenter, faulkner, paige and hayward. carpenter is blonde, immensely tired, and wearing a long trench coat. faulkner is east asian with short dark hair and wears a vinyl poncho as a cape. he’s giving carpenter an unreciprocated cheerful look. paige is dressed for work, wearing glasses, and zoning out. hayward is very obviously an undercover cop and giving the viewer a confused look. end id.]
[id: short black-and-white gif of carpenter, a tall woman with a long coat and long hair in a braid, walking tiredly across a cluster of reeds. a speech bubble in the corner says “marco!” with sparkling emojis around it. carpenter replies “polo” in a much less enthusiastic speech bubble. end id.]
enjoying the fact that carpenter gets episode 4 of each season to just go off and commit crimes while delivering the absolutely most metal lines possible.
Graphite pencil on black paper. There are a lot of little details that got lost to smudging and lightening, but I’m still very happy with what is basically a loose sketch that I made up as I went along.
His skull spitting silt is based on a nutria and a deer. I felt it was appropriate for the mood.
