"but it's realistic that they would breakup"

Not the point.

"But they had a lot of trauma the re-"

Also not the point.

"But at least she's a-"

Absolutely not the point.

Y'all trying to justify a narrative choice from within the narrative constraints.

That's a mistake.

Just like how many people never understood why so many would pick Bae ending, so many people just don't seem to get what the pairing meant overall.

Y'all realise what this pairing meant to people when it came out?

Despite the issues with the ending, the adoration and love the pairing has to this day has been earned by the game - it's inseparable from the franchise and it's reception.

It wasn't just another pairing. It wasn't just something that existed as bait or something within fanon or something developers never committed to.

Through the years plenty of ships get baited disingenuously while throwing the audience nothing but breadcrumbs - for example the disaster of Sherlock fandom, the mess with Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Voltron and so on. Or the way Blake/Yang in RWBY were the most blatant baiting that got no on-screen development(despite all the setup that show ignored for years) till the moment the show literally was getting axed and they wanted to milk LGBTQ+ community for money one last chance, skipping all the development to characterization characters deserve and attempting to bribe LGBTQ+ community with breadcrumbs at the last possible second.

And some shows would stumble into something important but fail to realise it and thus end up squashing it - ask Buffy fans about Tara and Willow or The 100 fans about clexa.

There were LGBTQ+ pairings in video games too but rarely they would be so front and center and very often would be playersexual.

This wasn't what Life is Strange ended up being.

Life Is Strange, at the very core is about queer experience - about fitting in, about making connections in the world that rejects you, about finding beauty in the life that hates and hurts you - Max and Chloe's relationship is the key to the entire game.

For some that meant letting go but for others? It gave the chance to fight a trope no matter what and to get an ending, albeit flawed, where a WLW pairing they liked can be happy and face the future together.

People lived through those two characters and their experiences finding something genuine to relate to.

Max and Chloe were that generation's Korra/Asami, Willow/Tara, etc.

Even DONTNOD recognised that in the end and treated it with respect.

Double Exposure might not pull a BYG outright but it sure does everything to kill the happy memories a fandom made about the pairing - to go back through every single ray of sunshine one ending got and subvert it, taint it, reject it.

Picking the Bae choice when playing Double Exposure is the Narrative constantly telling you how wrong you were to expect happiness when you picked the ending where the pairing is intact and how acshually it isn't intact!

It doesn't kill the characters but it sure goes an extra mile to kill what those characters MEAN to the audience.

Realism, plausibility and so on come after - it's what a writer does when they decide on a path. A writer doesn't just do something because it makes sense and is out of their control - they decide to do it and then make it make sense. Whether they succeed or not depends on how good a writer is.

Double Exposure isn't the story about a breakup. It isn't the story about two women dealing with their trauma.

Double Exposure treats an iconic pairing people cared about as a backstory element - nothing more.

Deck Nine expects the audience to accept what happened and move on to shiny new cast and possible new LIs.

The writers of Double Exposure are telling you - "look, this doesn't matter. Now here's a new mystery you can solve and new cast and look Max is back and you liked using her powers right? Use powers to do stuff."

To this developer team the core element of what made the franchise so important to its audience is nothing more than a leftover plot thread to "write around".

Because to these writers queer experience apparently starts and stops with searching for a relationship - someone being in a relationship that's not part of the story or someone being comfortable NOT being in a relationship at all just don't exist.

What Deck Nine writers seem to be doing is treating it as disposable or interchangeable/replaceable, while also inadvertently tainting whatever comes after with fandom rage.

The worst thing that can happen to a new character is being "the next love interest" - because people channel their frustrations towards the character (or in some worst cases, please don't do this, the actor).

Where there was an iconic part of the franchise Double Exposure, intentionally or not, sets up a toxic battle ground.

That's the point - treating LGBTQ+ audience as sales numbers, manipulating us, treating something that has been a formative experience to so many lives as disposable, or worse yet - malleable.

(And yes there's also a wider issue with Deck Nine and the working conditions there, misogyny, the nazi imagery and the rest but I don't think this is that disconnected from that? How they treat their audience and subject matter is a reflection of culture inside.)

max's world

[harpluvsabi]

i love chloe price because she is so deeply troubled and confused and messy and imperfect and shes a bad person sometimes but shes also cares so deeply for the people she loves even if she cant show it all the time and shes so deeply real and awkward and vulgar and intense and selfish sometimes and in a way shes a lot like her junkyard. filled with so much trash you might forget that you can find something beautiful inside if you're willing to dig for it.

despite everything shes so deeply lovable as a character despite her mess, despite her bad choices, and her complexities and intricacies and i love her character so much, she truly means so much to me.

i LOVE my girl literally so much !!! no one would understand all the love i have for her, NO ONE, she is so perfect, pure and beautiful, there is nothing wrong with my princess and i love every part of her being.

everything about her is beautiful, there is no imperfection, nothing i don't love about her, she is divine, we are going to be together for the rest of our lives and in the lives to come, we were created to love each other, destiny wants us together and we will ALWAYS be together.

she is precious, beautiful, when i see her eyes i feel hypnotized, she is magical, her beauty is from another world, i love her and miss her so much, want to feel her kisses all the time, i can't wait to live with her and feel her caresses at all times.

i can't believe that she is MY GIRL i can't fr i can't !!! she is so perfect, how is this possible ??!?!? i want to marry her rn my beautiful girl i love u more than everything in this world TT

my bf ! he loves stars, i love him as much as he loves them, as much as he loves jellyfishes, strawberries, kitties, bunnies, music, games,flowers, and everything he loves !!

something i luuuvvvv about him is his unique personality, i feel he drops stars everytime he walks, stars and flowers, and happy music ! i love how hes not afraid of showing himself as he is, that makes him so special, you can notice from afar how sweet his heart is, his eyes talk a lot without saying a single word, it's easy to know when he's sad, happy, or angry :p

he's the best prince i could ever have, he makes me feel pretty, loved, and worthy, he listens to me and my feelings, even when im sad about the smallest thing he's there for me ! i think every girl deserves someone like him, but he is mine -_- it feels weird when he is nice with me even being mad, but he was never mean with his girl and that makes me feel safe around him !

i hope to be around him all my life, being the one who takes care of him is something i'm really grateful for, meeting him was the prettiest coincidence ever ! and i want to wipe his tears everytime he need someone to do it for him, i wanna hold his hand, hug him as no one ever did, show him all the love he deserves, he will always be my little kitty, my puppy eyed prince ! if i can't have him.... no one can... :p
