Propmaster of DEATH!

1st of all I think the mansion is haunted. Harper did portray some of the hauntings like the wall that bulges out in the second floor. Her interaction with the furnace foreshadows the CO explanation. And maybe she kills Nancy if she doesn’t agree to help Jessalyn. But other than that the house is really haunted. the CO explanation doesn’t cover why statues moves, coffins moved, and especially why Nancy would see ghosts in the burned down house where the party was supposed to be . There’s no CO there.

So if a ghost really exist, why? Why would Charlotte, who is supposed to be the sweetest person become some vengeful ghost? Rintaro’s quote about ghost being guilty remorse (or something like that) comes to mind. But Charlotte feels too real, too tangible. It’s a very visceral feeling.

I think Charlotte’s ghost exists because she regrets her own actions and behaviour. But what actions? Her treatment of Clara.

We know that Clara never felt a part of the family. And there are many theories as to why. Clara’s mother might have been cold and distant to Clara (beautifully paralleled with Clara and Jessalyn) but that doesn’t really explain why Clara would feel estranged from her relatives. But, generally speaking, a person feels ostracized because of the behaviour of those around them. Clara’s discomfort with her place in the family has to come from the family making it apparent that she is not wanted.

You could argue that Charlotte and Harper were the only two that accepted Clara and I think the game supports this, but that happiness was only while Clara’s mother was alive. When she died, Clara felt even more like an outsider. But it doesn’t make sense that Clara could have been so close to her aunt’s family only to be so insecure about her position in the family. How can she feel insecure unless they kept her at a distance? Charlotte might have been nice, but nice doesn’t make a person feel like they belong.

I think Charlotte was nice to Clara because she was expected to be nice. Charlotte had her own burden’s with dealing with the divided Thorntons and what not and she was determined to be and do good. As a result, she treated Clara with nothing more than expected cordiality, and I think Clara sensed this. The fact that it wasn’t genuine acceptance made her paranoid.

I think Charlotte included Clara in the will just so she didn’t feel cut out from the family but the thing that made me dislike her was cutting Clara out of the will. There’s not real reason given other than Charlotte feeling like Clara wasn’t cut out for the position because of her paranoia.

Do you understand what that means? Rather than confront Clara and help her, Charlotte decides to cut Clara out. An act that interestingly seems to align with the crueler side of the Thornton clan. She knew how insecure Clara felt, never bothered to help her with it, and actually thought of cutting Clara out. This ruthless behaviour is actually seen in Clara herself when she sends Harper to the mental asylum school place. Clara knew Harper needed help but instead estranged her permanently from the family. You can’t criticize Clara for her actions while ignoring Charlotte’s similar behaviour.

my brain randomly in the day:

like I really cannot wait for someone to violate their non-disclosure agreement once the company goes out of business and just tell us the whole time it was a giant rouse of them trying to figure out what scraps of a game they could piece together to create a “trailer” and “screenshots” to pretend like there’s actually a fully functioning game-developing company 325 118th Avenue SE, Suite 209 Bellevue, WA 98005 when we actually know it’s like seven people, 4 of which are just those people doing half-assed attempts at Twitch streams on Youtube playing the games that got released 15 years ago, and the 2 other people just finished with their computer science degrees a couple years ago and thought this company had decent benefits(turns out they don’t), and no one there really knows how to design, produce, or market a computer game in the year 2019, except one guy who’s never even in the office because he’s the only one with business experience and all his labor goes towards hustling with investors to keep this rouse afloat

So i was thinking of making a clue crew directory that maybe we coulld all put on our blogs and itll include like every nancy drew blog so:

Reblog this post if your blog is like 80 percent or more nancy drew :)

And once this hits enough notes ill start makign it and everytime someone reblogs it ill just add them in.
