Nancy Drew side blog of roboticyeti.tumblr.com. Possible spoiler warning for all 34 of the Nancy Drew games plus the 2 Dossier games AND the Hardy Boys DS game. Tentatively taking gif requests from any of the games.
So I've been on a dumb little sidequest lately to make sure that every Nancy Drew book- no matter how bad, modern, or obscure- has its own Wikipedia page. The original 56-book series is pretty well documented, but everything after that is stubs at best.
I'm trying to do some research into the ghostwriters who wrote the more modern books- we're talking late 1970s through 2020s. When I looked at the personal site of the guy who's probably the pre-eminent expert on Nancy Drew, I found this:
Product DetailsAuthor: David FarahDiskette: 313 pagesPublisher: Farah's Books (2017)
It's a self-published book claiming that Mildred Wirt Benson, one of the earliest Nancy Drew ghostwriters, was a gay trans man.
I'm taking this with a barrel of salt, because it is a self-published book, but it is a self-published book by the guy who's the pre-eminent expert on Nancy Drew, you know?

I finally got around to fulfilling one of my long times goals of figuring out what every art piece in MHM was. I spent days and days and days (including all of my birthday) researching art and was formatting it into a clean pdf with whatever background information on each work/artist I could find when I discovered multiple people had already traced all the art years ago. Surely if I make my pdf it will be assumed I simply stole other peoples research and was trying to pass it off as my own. I actually cried after finding out all my time had been wasted.
But there is a bright side, I hadn't noticed anyone identifying several pieces (they probably have and I just didn't see) but regardless I thought I would share them incase anyone wanted to look further into them.
Here are screenshots from my messy research doc bc I can't be bothered to track down all the images on my pc (I just want to be done with this tbh).
The first is a plate in Nancys room, the next two plates are in the dinning room, the next two are from the attic (I think the second one is wrong), next is from Abby's room, and last is from Nancys room.
I made another art journal page inspired by Nancy Drew; this time it's Danger on Deception Island themed. Turns out I own a lot of beach themed stickers so I was happy to use those up.
@notprincehamlet & @you-have-made-a-fatal-error made DDI collages a few years ago and were definitely an inspiration, so be sure to check theirs out, too.
I never noticed until recently that in CAR when Nancy finds the jewelry from the heist, she very clearly leaves behind a pearl necklace after picking up the rest.

funniest glitch in KEY that I encountered very much without trying was right at the beginning when you had to pick up the alchemist book. somehow, I managed to exit reading the book before the book was removed from the map, so the book was both in my inventory and the bookshelf at the same time. logically, I decided to grab the second copy of the book, which also entered my inventory in a new slot.
however, when I tried to leave the bookshelf and go back to what I was doing, the game immediately black screened and wouldn't go away until I exited the game, which makes me imagine what happened was Nancy tried to carry both books, but they were so heavy she fell over and immediately passed out

hey, so did you know that you could get softlocked out of KEY? because apparently YOU CAN
I'm doing my second playthrough of this game rn just so I can slander it accurately in the future, and so naturally I am doing my best to color outside of the lines. this is always a lot of fun in the other games! doing things out of order and watching the flags mess up here and there has gotta be one of my favorite nd pasttimes by far
naturally, this meant that when I reached the alchemy lab, I thought, huh.
will they let me open the chest before doing the alchemy puzzle? normally this game refuses to so much as let you click on anything until it is the precise time that you're ~supposed to
but lo and behold! you can absolutely open the chest first!
this astonished me. I wondered if this meant I could skip the alchemy puzzle altogether, and tried to leave...
hm. interesting. all right, the game demands I do the alchemy puzzle. that's fine, I guess.
so ofc I go back and do just that. and try to leave again.
but here's nancy, once again:
at this point I was like, hm, okay, maybe I overlooked sth else in the alchemy lab? I proceed to painstakingly go through the walkthrough and do everything it asks, but... no dice.
so I thought, okay, maybe I'll try doing the alchemy puzzle again. can't hurt to try!
which led to something incredible.
exhibit a: please note the lack of a stone under that there dome
exhibit b: no stone to retrieve, making nancy look mildly insane.
so I thought, okay, kinda weird, but all right. the game is confused.
then I pulled back and noticed... there was a stone. hovering in mid-air right in front of nancy.
naturally, I immediately grab it, utterly baffled at this glitch, thinking that it wouldn't allow me to interact with it, or that it would disappear if I tried.
NOT SO
nancy is now the proud owner of not one, but two lock combination stones!
now, I immediately thought, my god, I could create the funniest inventory possible here and just fill it up with lock combination stones. unfortunately, it ends up not giving you anything after you have two, which was profoundly disappointing.
anyway, all that to say that it still won't let me leave the alchemy lab and my last save is several hours back :)
and all this can be yours for the low low price of not playing their extremely linear game in exactly the order they want you to :)
