Someone posted the sponsor KG lines without the filter and I...

[kind of a rant, sorry]

The team members themselves have said that everything past chapter 3 (in other words, everything that wasn't actively being written, so I'd assume it actually includes ch3 because ch3 was being written but was unfinished) was a plot detail that could be changed/was still up to interpretation.

And this makes sense to me, because I've seen two different team members give two contradicting 'leaks' about the way events were intended to play out for ch4 and the character motivations.

But even for ch2, where the script is finished, team members are still 'leaking' plot points with huge parts missing and in ways that are contradicting.

I guess it's just kind of sad, to me. I would've preferred either saying 'no, we actually don't have any solid plot points, please imagine what happens past ch1 on your own, you have our blessing, or 'here is a release of what we have of the ch2 + ch3 script + the actual lore bible' rather than Collect Nifast's Pages.

Maybe we'll still get that, but I'm not hopeful. Send me the links if you guys ever do find it, though.

[Also, this is an aside and not serious criticism because there might have been some secret lesbian subplot or whatever in chapter 7 or ulysses might have gotten really obsessed with her in the secret unleaked chapter 2 script, but 'ulysses's feelings were one-sided and wenona was always intended as a lesbian' is REALLY funny to me.

Like does she know that?

From what we have in canon, one of these characters wanted to room with the other, mentions the other if you give them a fte gift (and not vice versa), defends the other in the ch1 trial...

While I can't really criticize future plot points, given that everything past trial three seems to be heavily 'we'll revise this when we get there',

(seeing 2 staff members give conflicting leaks about the desmond and eloise plotline while also saying they weren't 100% clear on it really made me realize that none of these are reliable)

And the 'lore bible' is one that 1) has been dunked on multiple times 2) multiple staff members have said none of it is 'canon' to the current game...

There's one thing that's gonna haunt me forever about it.

Like, to be clear, this is absolutely just a conspiracy theory of mine but it's something that's going to be in my mind forever.

Did this ship start off as self-insert fanfiction of a real streamer? It probably didn't.

I've seen these lines from Ima's intro posted quite a bit, but...

Ima's introduction kind of feels like his overblown reactions are intended as a joke (rather than necessarily serious commentary on their relationship) so I'm not quite sure how much character analysis I can get from this intro--but it makes him come off like a blindly devoted boy who would be willing to do anything and sacrifice anything for his sister.

But, when push comes to shove and it comes time to fight...

He doesn't.

If he genuinely prioritized protecting her above everything else, it would make the most sense for him to fight in order to keep her safe, rather than to leave it to these people they don't even know.

Instead, he refuses--he says he has to take care of his own safety 'so that he can be by her side', and while that may be part of it, he later mentions the fact that he's scared of having to fight and get hurt, even though he knows it's 'safe'. So it comes off more like he's using her as an excuse.

Please be aware that these are not all run by the same people & I am not in some of the servers.

Coe 20+ server. Link is here. It is a general CoE server. Has dedicated dead dove and nsfw channels for people who want to discuss those things but is not a dead dove focused server.

This one's mainly for character discussion, although there's a bit of everything in here and no one really minds you going off topic.

Coe 18+ server. Link is here. It is also a general CoE server. This one is a dead-dove focused server if you're looking for that, so make sure you're 18+ to join.
