Aristocratic Medieval Vampire shitters!
From Bucket Brigadier ILikeSocks - “In this game, there are definitely different shitters for different levels of wealth. These ones look way better then the previous Resident Evil: Village shitters. The people in the village just get outhouses. And the dungeons have like, wooden boxes with a hole and no arm rests or anything! I think this might be the only one in the castle area. Last time I played, I was too busy shitting my pants to look for one. This is in the giant vampire lady’s bath area. Her daughters are hot as fuck. I can fix them…
Giant vampire mommy Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, she’s not literally a magic vampire, and her daughters aren’t witches. They are just mutants like very other RE enemy. Something something mold x parasite mutated them. Resident Evil is best when you don’t think about it too hard. I knew I had issues the first time I played, but I saw this and went ‘yes. I would like the ladies made out of mutant flies please.’ You can get a fly swatter weapon that does no damage, but when Lady Dimitrescu is hunting you, you can sneak up behind her and smack her on the ass with it.”
Fascinating. At first I thought, idk wtf this vampzomb needs a shitter for, but I’m listening. I’m learning. These exquisite heirlooms are chamber pot chairs, they have a few other names like “commode chair” but that sounds mildly like an insult so we shant be using that. They are what was used before we all collectively decided we could afford to waste water on a global scale (for hundreds of years, even). And you can sit on them instead of squatting over a bowl, so it saves your knees.
In this exhibit, we see two examples of toilet furniture. The rightmost chamber pot chair boasts a circular cavity where the pan is missing. Historically, this could mean it was removed for cleaning. Or perhaps the chair was simply decorative, enkindling the sentiments of decay, neglect, abandonment, and a yearning to be reunited with the parts of us that we may have been left behind along the way. Which, in a horror game, usually means “uh-oh”. On the left, a similar design has incorporated an oblong porcelain bowl. The graceful floral pattern evokes late 18th- to early 19th-century J. Maddock & Sons fine sanitation furnishing.
Ok, so what’s the difference? The round kind was generally a standard, one-size-fits-all style in which the chamber pot (here missing) could easily be replaced. Ergonomic, oblong pans were usually designed for women. As you recover from your shock in the sheer representation of it all, consider this. In a world that’s backwards, where people are tossed out like dirty toilet water, there’s a pink tax on everything and thinking of others is taboo, these two toilets are seated as the ambassadors of inclusive representation. Sure, they’re flush with wealth, but they’re the good kind of rich. They’re redistributive capitalists!
This submission is a contender for the 2025 Blue Bowl award.
