“I really wanted to help”

MY GIRLLL😭 PLEASE IT’S OKAY

Ribbit?! Hello?! Also: JAX IS HERE TOO (I think?), BUT THERE IS ALSO SOMEONE ELSES VOICE? RAGATHAS? Not ribbits right? Since her va did introduce herself differently-

“Have you ever done something you regret?” (or similar I dunno)

Do I seriously need to stay offline for 2 weeks? Because tadc fans WILL SPOIL and a lot of people WILL FORGET TO TAG…”amazing”

Edit:

I overreacted a bit, I was just very shocked. While I still don't enjoy it as much as I'd love to, I'll accept it fully (forgot to edit this post, my bad)

it's important that you know that I was there when the og LiS game dropped, super excited for it, got it for my birthday nonetheless! and I was immediately hooked and invested in this game and it quickly became one of my favorites

this probably mostly had to do with a certain blue-haired girl whom I found super relatable (and hella cool) and who happens to almost share a birthday with me so even more cool points. needless to say, I went with the bae ending even though it tore me apart but I couldn't let her die

and mind you, I wasn't even close to coming out at the time or knowing I was queer! of course, it should've given me a huge clue about who I was, especially how much I was "girl crushing" on Chloe but I was not ready to admit things yet I think

fastforward to 2026: I have been in a wlw relationship for almost 5 yrs now, with this amazing girl who happens to be a gamer which I find very cool - but I don't interact with games anymore as much as she still does

she did, however, get me to play Double Exposure in preparation for Reunion. didn't really care for it and I especially hated what they had done to Pricefield, like most of you, but I was like "you know what? freedom to interpret something differently than how I would ig". I was determined that I would always have what I wanted from the original game.

and then I played Reunion too - and I have to say, it hit me like a friggin freight train. the problems that I've seen brought up countless times do not escape me: I do realize Reunion was mostly fanservice and very likely an attempt from Deck Nine's part to correct their previous interpretations, Deck Nine was not great at handling the character dynamics and relationships and disregarding previous choices etc etc etc...

but it was also everything I'd ever dreamed of and more! it had all the subtle and not-so-subtle Pricefield moments we should have gotten in the og game. breakup or no breakup, bae or bay, the yearning! the gravitation towards each other! the "'cannot be interpreted for anything other than a romantic wlw relationship"! it was always Max and Chloe, they were always meant to be endgame in my book.

so I don't care what anybody says, this game was way superior to how it's being treated because it has explicit "cannot be confused for platonic" representation and it has a well-fleshed-out protagonist wlw couple who may have flaws and inconsistencies but also so much chemistry!!

im rewatching it with a friend right now and i just feel this overwhelming flood of emotions as i watch the characters live their dumb little lives - literally in the second episode i was on the verge of tears just from my love for these characters and this story

all of these guys - tohru especially - inspired me to be a lot kinder than i used to be and to value the things i had, and that's something i'll never forget

A compilation of my character references for Your Name on My Tongue Like a Tattoo!

I totally don't play favourites in who gets pretty outfits! (But isn't it funny? Chuuya's my favourite character but Dazai's so sad I just keep dressing her up like it'll make up for it)
