another UWO mini-rant (Spoilers Ahead!!!)
I really like how Tatum & Finley were written.
they were living in an abusive household
Their father abused their mother, and probably did to them as well (though based off of evidence provided in the game, it’s also quite possible that Susan took the brunt of the damage for her kids)
But they were too young to truly understand what was going on
They go out in public, they go to school, and society teaches them that their parents are their “Mommy” and “Daddy” and children should respect and love their parents. Right?
They don’t know any better. And Susan appears to encourage this, I assume(?) to try and give the kids some semblance of a normal childhood
And when their mom was “hidden” by their father, they tried to come up with creative ways to ask for help, like with the “what do you do when the dragon kidnaps the princess…” or something along those lines, i don’t remember, i don’t feel like pulling the game up right now im sorry-
they’re young, but they acknowledge that their father might hurt Eugene or them if they say too much
They don’t know that their mom is dead, all they know is that their dad hid her away and started keeping a tighter chain around them
They’re kids, they don’t know what’s going on, but they’re scared
And ALSO. Am I the only one that got a bit emotional at the end where Jack finds the kids at the window and he’s like “wHO ARe YoU TALkING tO?” and it’s just one sibling begging him not to hurt the other
and then when Eugene gives them instructions on what to do, they just kind of nod, still in an emotional state
which I think is a realistic example of what a child their age would do in that kind of situation
when I was a kid and I would get super scared/hurt/etc., I would start crying so much that it was like the “*hiccup* *gasp* *sob*” over and over again and in that kind of state, I couldn’t really say much, and all I could really do was follow instructions on what to do next and calm down
I’m also so freaking proud of Eugene
Eugene handled that situation a lot better than I thought he would, trying to focus Jack’s anger at them rather than the kids, calling the cops, (somewhat) calmly giving the kids instructions on what to do, etc.
I’m upset that they put themselves in danger like that (I’d hate to think about what would happen if the Underworld Office ghosts and Luke and Linda and all of them weren’t there) but I’m proud of them. They did good.
anyway all of that to say that I really liked how they portrayed Tatum & Finley’s living situation and how they reacted to it and also how much I liked that final chase scene
actually i really like Underworld Office in general-
