THE HIGURASHI REFERENCE

Haunting Ground, 2005

So far my only complaint with the Silent Hill 2 Remake is Maria’s AI, especially in combat scenarios.

I don’t mind escorting a character around, because I love Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 4, and other games that have had escort segments

But in the original Maria wasn’t on top of the player during combat sections, this bad…like Maria, please, few feet back or get with the program and fight with me!

This is so cute!!! Thank you for the Kat cat!

Strawpage~

I've been so inspired lately, seeing so many people make their own Strawpage sites that I wanted to join in! It's very Kat-themed from the DMC reboot, but she's cute so it's ok! https://mandragoreos.straw.page/

Because I can feel my depression kicking in, this is a reminder to anyone this may come across

Take care of yourself and listen to your body, not your brain, especially if it’s cruel to you.

Allow yourself to rest, you aren’t selfish for taking care of your needs

Please, for the love of all that is holy, drink water! Your body will thank you so much

Get out and enjoy ‘the freedom of nature’s gifts’ because fresh air and a good walk definitely can help you, especially if you’re someone who stays cooped up inside all day long.

Remember too, your family cares about you, and if your family doesn’t, your friends do, and if they don’t, someone out there in the world does

do you think you could do some curly pfps, like your anya post...??

Oh course! I’m rewatching another playthrough of Mouthwashing right now, so apologies if the quality isn’t the greatest, I have some bandages Curly and other characters right now! I’ll be sure to get pre-crash Curly soon!

I like to think while Anya was caring for Curly, she would talk to him. Rambling about various things, wether it was to vent, talking about the crew to let her captain know what was going on, or just the most mundane of things.

Even leading up to her final moments, despite Daisuke and Germbo calling for her, screaming for her to open the door and having to go another route to reach her.

She’d talk to Curly. Regardless if her voice trembled or cracked, no matter how much she shook or vision blurred from tears or to shut out the world by closing them. She would talk to him.

Sitting on the floor by his side, standing before him, or in a seat across from him.

She would talk to him, and he would listen.

I love you Casca the women you are 💖

daisuke and anya aren't shown interacting much. I think that's for a reason.

with daisuke being practically the embodiment of hope and innocence and naivety on the ship, it makes sense for anya not to interact with daisuke - or atleast be shown interacting with daisuke, especially from the perspective of jimmy. the one time that i can remember anya speaking of daisuke, is when speaking to curly about daisuke's psych eval and how daisuke says that he's enjoying his time on the ship, with anya then going "should i be worried?". anya, especially after the ship crashes, is always a foot out - always standing on the edge, ready to jump. she keeps the other pain meds in that locker hidden for as long as she can so she can have a way out - a way to control her own fate. she's given up on hoping. at first glance, you may assume the most hopeless character is swansea, with him ending his sobriety and falling back into his addiction, verbally stating that there is no hope for the crew any more - but swansea holds onto daisuke despite it all. he hopes. he dreams. maybe not for himself, but for daisuke and anya. swansea has also been a dreamer, even when he was in the midst of his addiction - he WANTED. but anya is never really hoping. she's just kind of there. and who can blame her? she's stuck in close quarters with her abuser, in a ship that's falling apart, 5 months pregnant with a child she never wanted. who can blame her for not hoping for better. she used to. she did, she had hoped when she went to curly about what jimmy did, but that hope was crushed when curly did nothing. he failed her. so she doesn't hope. she can't stand to - not any more. but for a long time she can't stand to give in either. not until she's pushed into it and locks herself into a room with curly - in the very room curly had dictated as having a lock for 'safety' concerns. and while she does this, daisuke - hope - is trying to get in and help her. banging at the door, desperately trying to get in to anya, but then jimmy takes daisuke away, and hope leaves, and anya kills herself as her hope is gone, once again taken away by jimmy. there's also the fact that daisuke is practically the 'child' of the group. the innocent and naive. and children are commonly seen as the 'hope'. the 'change'. the 'proof of something better to come'. and then you think of anya's pregnancy and how that happened. and how when she looked at daisuke and saw how hopeful and bright and young he was, all she was reminded of was the child inside of her, and then reminded of jimmy. of course she wouldn't wanna be around daisuke as much. it was too close. he was too close.
