Talk:Snow on Mount Silver (Version 2)/@comment-26297971-20200531111715/@comment-43449025-20200602202930

hi! thanks for leaving a coment. there is a lot of unfortunately missing or otherwise hidden context for the story, which i will happily supply. just a fair warning, it might be a bit graphic, but i wont go into too much detail.

first i wanna start off that i do not support nor idolize serial killers in any way. there are no references to real-life victims in this story, as i wanted to stay respectful to them.

second, the creator of this hack (a former game freak employee who was fired, also sort of a... weird, messed up guy?) within the story did indeed make it as a tribute to the real life serial murderer richard kulkinsky, also known as the iceman.

the "apparent jump to hell" was actually just blake dropping down to the lowest level of the mountain and burning in magma. this is a reference to how kulkinsky formed his sadistic habits as a kid, by throwing cats into an incinerator.

another thing that kulkinsky was known for was for stuffing bodies in an oil barrel and freezing them. the oil in the story has a double meaning, pointing to the latter and also animal exploitation in modern-day capitalism, and how a lot of money-making is harming ourselves, our environment and our friends.

the letter is supposedly from the creator of the hack. the japanese website blake visited is implied to be his blog.

unfortunately, more was planned to expand upon the lore of the former game freak employee, but alas i have lost almost all motivation and/or focus to write them, so a lot of explanation becomes lost. again, thank you for reading and leaving a comment - i hope this helped! <3
