Viscous' strange writing direction.

[u/Trashy-Guy]

Has anybody else noticed that Viscous seems overtly childish in the new voice lines?

I'm not sure if it's the direction that the voice actor has been given, the lack of sound edits that the older lines had (from what I've heard, the current lines aren't yet finished edit-wise), the writing or all of it as a whole.

Viscous's writing direction has shifted from the friendly yet determined emissary of The Deep, willing to put the goal of defeating The Adversary before everything else. (e. g. him saying that The Djinn's problems are less serious than The Deep's.)... To a second grader. It's a fun line, one of many the update added, but it often feels like an outlier in an otherwise solid character.

Viscous is an emissary, a political figure of the Deep with a message and ambition first, and a goo ball that studies the customs of the surface, second, not a baby.

Viscous may seem childish but you gotta remember that he is a sentient sea anemone. Drifter might genuinely be the first vampire he has ever met, combined with the fact that since he has no blood, to him the fact that something staining and red isn’t paint ain’t super obvious from the get-go.

Furthermore, he may not even be that familiar with the color red in the first place, as certain colors dont show past certain depths

How does he know what finger painting is and not that blood can be read? 

[u/coolcrayons → u/HippieDogeSmokes]

Probably knows both but met some people who finger paint and not a lot of vampires lol

[u/ToiLanh → u/coolcrayons]

Violet is litterally releasing soon, probs her

[u/Lectricanman → u/coolcrayons]

Or he ran into rem and was like is that blood and rems like looks like finger paint and he's like uh I guess but then he meets drifter and uh oh and uh uh violet is there too and she is more of an acrylic girl but then viscous has trouble with this concept because a water soluble paint wouldn't jive with him but then it becomes water proof? and wait what are fingers to a boneless, bloodless, gooaphyte.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
