#wordsfromthecaptain

It's no surprise that Choices is collapsing. The Captain just joined the Choices Preservation Discord to keep the memories of the app we used to love alive.

If you want to do any recordings, The Captain suggests doing routes that are not well represented, like MLW routes, LIs people don't usually play, or MCs with they/them pronouns.

The Captain wants to interrupt her studies and much beloved introverted life from this page to rip on PB. She has deleted Choices a while back and does not miss it.

As a library science grad student AND classical literature fan, she is finding this very concerning. There is no way that PB will disrespect a classic with the way the direction the company is going.

*NOTE: SPOILER WARNING FOR WUTHERING HEIGHTS*

Wuthering Heights is about Catherine and Heathcliff who formed an intense bond when they were little...until Catherine marries another man, Edgar. This causes Heathcliff to get revenge on Edgar and everyone connected to him. He is BEYOND an absolute fucking DICK. And Catherine is not that likable either. Just an absolute spoiled fucking BITCH. She knew she always wanted to marry Heathcliff. It's just that Edgar had more money than him and she cared about her social status.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE STORY.

It's about 2 horrible people that are just obsessed with each other that never even kissed, and Catherine is dead in the second half of the book. YOU DON'T ROOT FOR THIS COUPLE. You root for the people they hurt. They simply belong together because they're just unlikeable, and you want to keep hearing their story because the dysfunction that both of them cause is dark entertainment.

Wuthering Heights is a classic because it enthralls you with a lesson on what happens when a relationship built on obsession goes downhill. It's like Emily Bronte has perfected the craft of a 19th century adaptation of a Jerry Springer episode.

Hi. I'm QueenSheWolf, The Captain of the Distant Shores Project sequel. I'm still getting new followers here, even though the TDSP crew and I are BEYOND done with both the project and PB.

The game is here to download and our TDSP YouTube page is still up for viewing whenever things are posted.

After speaking with my First Mate @jdstar88, I have decided to make some major changes to this page. I have noticed that you, me, and my TDSP crew have moved on from the game which now is in a tiny corner of the internet for those who are passionate to find it.

Since I can't make a separate Tumblr for TDSP, this will now become my personal one (hence the name and look change). I will post about stuff on my YouTube page, or anything else. More time of building its brand is on my "things to do after grad school" list.

After seeing what happened to the @itlivesproject, both with the wonderful amount of love they have received and the immorality that PB has put upon them, I do not want to draw PB's attention to our sequel. To the @itlivesproject, we are glad that you set the bar EXTREMELY high! You have made a lasting impact on the PB community and TDSP will ALWAYS be in your corner!

To our fans, like @ladylamrian, @ntennis-world and anyone else I have missed, I'm really thankful for your love and understanding that we really needed to get this done with the limited amount time. If there are any bugs with the game, let me know.

To those who did not enjoy our game, I apologize for not living up to your expectations. I truly did try my best with the hand I was given and what I thought was right at the time.

To my TDSP crew @shionch, @oh-so-youre-a-nerd, @queen-of-boops, @enanomly , @itsmefromthatday and any one else I have missed, I am really proud and thankful of all of you. You did everything you could with the work you did.

And most importantly, to @jdstar88. You are more than my First Mate. You have been the best friend that I could have asked for, and as hateful as I am toward PB, I do thank it for helping me find you. We bonded over a tiny DS Facebook group, and yada, yada, yada, here we are today.

I love you all, and you're more than welcome to still follow me and talk to me about TDSP, even though I will rarely post about it.

ONE YEAR LATER...

It's been a year since the finale of our DS sequel, and we thought of updating you on what has been going on since then.

The First Mate has been working hard at her two jobs, and taking care of 6 adorable fur and scaly babies with her husband. Her husband got full time at his job, and the two of them are going on adventures and living life.

As for The Captain, she is making a career change and got accepted into grad school, all while helping her adorable guinea pig babies transfer into their later years. She also started a YouTube channel where she plays classical literature characters in The Sims 4, and plans to do the same for Paralives. Yes, she is very aware and upset about the EA buyout, and has spoken about it many times on her channel.

Speaking of shitty decisions companies make, The Captain has followed in The First Mate's footsteps and is transitioning into playing Romance Club because she is pissed off of PB's use of AI. The First Mate got the idea of trying out Astrea's Broken Heart, thanks to The Captain gushing about it, as well as Raph. The First Mate is doing Dave's route and made another slot for Mike.

Both of them are interested in the new company that ex-PB employees (including a DS writer) started, but haven't been thinking about it much due to work and grad school. Still, they will be playing when they have free time.

Their Discord is still open for anyone that wants to discuss DS, PB, RC, or anything about life. Members are encouraged to start discussions and set up voice channel meetings.

We do hope that you enjoyed our sequel. It was really hard to make, but it was worth it to give people some sort or serenity, because we needed it as well.

Thank you @thedistantshoresproject for this
