Why Are So Many People Convinced That Babies Are Trying To Manipulate Them? They’re Babies. They Literally

Yeah I was embarrassing when I was 15 who isn’t. Was also Embarrassing at 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Last week. Yesterday

i was forewarned before playing too far into the original trilogy that flora keeps getting forgotten abt. so im not mad or disappointed abt the amt of flora i got. but god DAMN flora reinhold needed more proper attention in the games if they were gonna insist on bringin her up.

itd be one thing to have her show up at the end of curious village and that be that but they really try to make a point in saying shes the third party member. by unwound future she's got her own save slot and solving puzzle animation/lines and everything

but all the while the game's also constantly going oh no no no, it's the professor layton and luke hour.

which is weird bc i like the professor layton and luke hour! i like flora! i even like some of the dialogue addressing this very thing in unwound future!

but it sure feels like someone had the writers arms twisted behind their back like keeping flora involved was a government mandate

Look y’all can hate MJ from the Tobey maguire trilogy idc but don’t let one of your reasons be that she was “always screaming” or that she was “always a damsel in distress”. Like??? Yeah she was constantly thrown into dangerous situations and didn’t have powers to defend herself against people that attacked her.

I know for a fact that y’all would scream if you were hanging onto a collapsing piece of building for dear life too. 🤨

CONTEXT- Recently I was thinking about how the plot of the original Life Is Strange would make for a PERFECT Columbo episode. Think about it, it's two rich people committing a murder, clumsily trying to cover it up and then arrogantly thinking they'll get away with it only to ultimately end up caught in their own carelessness. In this turn of events, I imagined Columbo would've already cracked the case by the time the game's story begins- so Nathan is arrested before he can even confront Chloe in the bathroom, she never gets shot, Max never gets her powers, and the storm never happens because Jefferson and the Prescotts were already brought to justice for Rachel's murder. (Columbo never dealt with the supernatural after all, and it's still an interesting murder story even without powers being part of the equation). It's still a somewhat bittersweet ending as Rachel is still dead- you can't have a Columbo story without a murder to kickstart the plot- but nobody else has to die, Max is never traumatized by her powers, and her and Chloe still reconnect their relationship without having to destroy an entire town.

My best friend wrote the dialogue for this one, and funnily enough it's based on what happened when I played the game for the first time- I immediately cottoned on to what Jefferson was saying about capturing someone in a dark corner, thinking that was weirdly specific dialogue to open out the game with unless it was foreshadowing for later. And then of course you go out into the corridor, there are all the "MISSING" posters for Rachel and you can hear students gossiping about how she was in a relationship with a teacher. By the time you see her note in the junkyard in Chapter 2 I was 100% certain it was Jefferson... apparently for a lot of people it was a real twist (my best friend thought there was absolutely nothing hinting to it beforehand)

Oh and one more thing, funnily enough there's a Columbo episode called "Double Exposure". But unlike the Life Is Strange game of the same name it's actually good, one of the best in the series. There was also an episode where he solves a murder at a local college, and the killer is a deluded rich student not unlike Nathan Prescott. So I think the lieutenant would fit perfectly into the mystery of Arcadia Bay!

What do you suppose an Affini hab unit actually looks like? I've been reading HDG for years now and off the top of my head I can't recall anything that describes them all that much outside of everything being bigger. Maybe I missed a story that explores the intricacies of Affini architecture and interior design, maybe I'm deeply strange for asking these kinds of questions about background details in kinky noncon comfort erotica, but I think it's important. Surely a key aspect of domesticating a sophont is making sure they're comfortable in their new surroundings? Maybe you could assume they look like typical sci-fi living quarters, but those are always SUPER depressing (why would anyone want to live in a sterile metal cube?) Considering the importance the Affini place on making sure their florets are safe and happy, I always picture them feeling incredibly vibrant and warm, a place that's somehow more like home than anywhere you've ever been before.

i love this comic series so much
