farewell to all the earthly remains

they've poured yaoi cocaine on the floor in front of the phroombas 😭

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.

honestly we don’t talk enough about how Ilya and J.J. are star crossed besties. if they were drafted to the same team, they’d have a ten minute long secret handshake. they’d own the local club scene. they’d share one wardrobe of atrocious, flashy shirts. they’d have an obnoxious amount of inside jokes. they’d laugh about Shane Hollander being boring and it wouldn’t take long for J.J. to notice the glint in his best bro’s eyes. what could have beeeen!!

ah doing ma thing just like god int- (remembers im atheist) just like the universe intend- (remembers i don't believe in determinism) just like noone and nothing intended ever. doin ma thang fucking unpredictable style

love the fact that, faced with the choice of 'should we make a vampire love interest or a werewolf love interest' black tabby figured out to somehow make him both, and neither (but mainly both).

Always remember that throughout the horrors, Isaacs is having his very own The Summer Hikaru Died experience in the background

Example of good video game writing in Scarlet Hollow: the sticker on Kaneeka's laptop. I noticed it in Chapter 2, but others may have gotten to see it as early as the end of Chapter 1. If you don’t know anime, all you see is a cute anime critter, possibly a pokemon. If you do know anime, you’ll recognise Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, a dark and bloody deconstruction of magical girl stories. Knowing more about her taste in anime is a poignant piece of characterisation for Kaneeka, a goth anime nerd stuck in a small dead-end mining town. But then I got to Chapter 5 and found out what Kaneeka's actual situation is, and where her plotline has been going all along, and that sticker turned out to be the biggest, bleakest piece of foreshadowing in a game full of big, bleak foreshadowings.
