it makes me so sad that one of the most damaged characters who deserved a happy ending the most (arguably) didn’t get one. and one of the most unproblematic characters sacrificed his happy ending for everyone else just to end up alone.

Do you think we’re soulmates in another universe?

Act 3 of Arcane !!

TimeBomb !!

Tell me why they are the actual definition of ‘in another universe’

I don’t even know how to feel after act 3, Ekko and older Powder were so adorable in the alternate timeline and when they KISSED?!?! I was jumping around in happiness, I feel like in that moment Ekko fell in love with Powder and maybe even Jinx again.

I love how no matter the effects on himself he continued to rewind time to save Jinx from killing herself, even getting hurt by one of the explosions in the process and when she saw he was hurt she jumped instead.. :,(

The fact that he gave up a timeline where he was perfectly happy, everyone (except Vi) was alive and he got the girl just to save everyone. JUST for her to die in the end, I mean he never got to kiss Jinx in his timeline. He never got to say goodbye.

[my-taintedheart]

Arcane Act 3 !!

NEEDED to share this.

Too all the people who need reassurance after the ending:

They hinted at Jinx being alive when Caitlyn was looking at the vents in the hex gates. For the cycle to end jinx had to die, but she didn’t. So what did Jinx do? She left, thats what the blimp is for— also if you look closer you can see right after the explosion Jinx’s shimmer trail leading into the vents hinting that she might’ve got away and you can also see Caitlyn holding the head of Jinx’s bomb, if it survived the explosion I bet that Jinx did too.

It hurts knowing that if Jinx is alive, Vi will probably never find out— Jinx will have to live without her sister and Vi will always think her sister died saving her.

Also, somebody said that in all universes Vi and Powder can never truly be happy and together— one always dying. Which is so sad considering how much they love each other.

The scene between Ekko and Jinx is DEVASTATING I mean she killed herself 5 times before listening to him, none of the attempts worked. Just for her to ‘kill’ herself in the end, dying the exact same way Isha did.

Act 3 Of Arcane !!

Jinx..

Spoilers down below!!

Most of us who’ve watched the last 3 episodes of season 2 sadly watched our (if not your, definitely my) favourite girl meet her end, but that’s not what i’m here talk about. I’m here to address the scene where Ekko finally breaks out of the anomaly only to find Jinx about to kill herself, what kills me is she kills herself 5 times before actually listening to him, I just find it so devastating that she doesn’t even set off the bomb in the last attempt and just lets herself fall into the abyss below because she probably realised that he was going back in time and that’s why he was hurt.

EDIT: did you know they took away the ‘x’ from Jinx’s top to stop her from killing herself while she was locked up?? :’(

When she hands herself over to Ambessa/ The enforcers, after Isha dies— you can tell she’s absolutely dead inside, I mean even Vi; her sister who she loves so much, couldn’t even bring her back to her old self. I mean she even tries to kill herself in the cell by swallowing the hextech gem, thinking that it would kill her. (This is what I picked up.)

I mean why did they have to choose (imo) the most fucked up, destroyed, mentally unstable blue-haired teenager (or maybe just turned early 20s??) to kill off when all she wanted was her family back :,)

Act 3 of Arcane !!

CaitVi

CaitVi

CaitVi

*i whisper in absolute glee*

CaitVi sesbian lex scene?!?! YIPPEE!! Literally screamed out in joy (I recorded the WHOLE thing) IT WAS SO TASTY, VI CONFIRMED A MUNCH?!?! 🤭🤭 trust when I say I watched the WHOLE thing (and rewatched it after I finished act 3..)

Episode 8 everyone!! 🤗🤗

[my-taintedheart]

Act 3 of Arcane !!

DIABOLICAL ENDING.

Spoilers !!

I just finished act 3, all I have to say is why? I mean killing off Jinx of all people is so devastating considering how hard she fought for her life, just for her to be the cause of her own demise. AND the fact that Isha and Jinx both died sacrificing themselves for the one they love, taking Vander with them in the process because they know he’s to far gone and want to save the person they love from the pain of trying to get him back.

I knew the second they killed off Ambessa that one of the main characters were next, I mean why else would you add her as a LoL Champion (who everyone thought were invincible in Arcane) just to kill her? So that they could prove that whilst the story originated from two league champions that were theorised to be sisters, they in fact wanted to make it something else. Killing off Ambessa was just them proving that they could kill of anyone they wanted to, nobody was safe.

Arcane Season 2 Act 2 Spoilers!!

just finished act 2!! 😜

I am shaking, crying, throwing up and never recovering. I swear to god, as much as I love Vander if Isha doesn’t live and he does I will fucking end it— I have been sitting here shaking for the past ten minutes literally sobbing a waterfall I can’t process this, honestly if Jinx crashes out I will fully understand considering she was just starting to accept and embrace her feelings just for the two people who actually started to bring her back to fucking DIE?!?! (please don’t be dead Isha or Vander 🙏🙏) Also can we talk about how Jinx understood Isha’s sign language, meaning she learnt it for her?!? gtfo my face right now.

[my-taintedheart]

My Prediction About Jinx in Season 2!!

no I have NOT seen the leaks, I watched act 1 ONLY please DON’T spoil!!

I feel like Isha is going to be a key character in what happens to Jinx mentally; if her mental state returns back to Powder or not. I know that Jinx sees herself (Powder) in Isha and that is why she was so quick to attempt to get her to move out of the way and shield Isha using her body against the blast.

I fear that something might happen to Isha which will push Jinx over the edge as I feel like Isha now symbolises Powder, for Jinx and if Isha dies it will fully symbolise the death of Powder which will cause Jinx to loose herself. Another way would be Isha will either succeed in bringing Powder back or will teach Jinx to embrace/ heal her inner child (Powder).

I feel like a part of Jinx sees Powder in Isha and that gives Jinx the opportunity to love and protect Powder (through Isha) the way that she wanted when she was younger; the way that she wanted others to.

Either way LORD do NOT let either of them fucking die or I will never get better, I just want both of them to be happy :(

In many ways Isha gives Jinx the opportunity to protect and love Powder in the way she always wished others would do for her, quite literally Isha heals Jinx's inner child.

EDIT!!

Season 2 Act2 Spoilers!!

okay! so.. are you fucking kidding me? if Isha is actually dead I will throw up, the whole act I was begging for her to not die and.. let’s hope she didn’t, just let her have a minor injury and be okay. 🙏

[my-taintedheart]

Arcane Season 2

it hurts when you realise in season one it used to be ‘Vi’s love for Caitlyn is stronger than her desire to get Powder back.’ and now in season two it’s ‘Caitlyn’s hatred for Jinx is stronger than her love for Vi’ so yeah.. we’re cooked!! I normally love parallels but if they’re Arcane parallels? no.

[my-taintedheart]

Arcane Season2 Act1 Episode3 Spoilers!!

credit to @ jinxarcane16 for the photos on tt!!

I just realised this scene is a parallel to the scene where Vi punches Powder and leaves her behind and Powder cries on her knees begging for her to come back. Just like Vi after Cait uses the butt of her gun on Vi’s stomach to knock her back because she didn’t let her shoot at Jinx, and Vi drops to her knees (probably) silently begging for her to turn around.

the puncher gets punched (joke.)

edit: I just realised Caitlyn was probably one of the only enforcers Vi met that hadn’t hurt/beat/punched her until that moment.. also me when Cait promised Vi she wouldn’t change only to break that promise 30 minutes later!! 😋

[my-taintedheart]

Arcane Spoilers, Season2 Act1 Episode3!!

A common misconception is that Jinx is angry when Vi breaks fishbones and tweaks out because of that BUT I interpreted it as Jinx being scared of Vi because she was strong and angry enough to tear apart Jinx’s gun which was very well built. This is also shown on Jinx’s face, as fear, disbelief and realisation after Vi destroys fishbones and Jinx realises that Vi isn’t holding back whilst Jinx is, because she can’t bring herself to properly fight her sister and hurt her, because she still obviously loves Vi and cant bear loosing her because she is the only remaining family she has left. Realisation is a big emotion behind Jinx’s eyes in that scene because she comes to the realisation that Vi has truly changed and isn’t her sister anymore..

edit: the way Jinx was genuinely heartbroken when Vi broke fishbones because it represents her younger self, symbolising Vi letting Powder go..

(sorry for the quality, I literally took a picture of my tv..)

I feel like whilst Jinx is fighting Vi and not holding back anymore, I feel like she just wants to put up a fight after everything she’s been through, she doesn’t want to of gone through that without fighting at the end. She is glad that her sister is the one to put her out of her misery and accepts death peacefully. (after a while of fighting..)

spoilers for season2 act1 episode3 !!

Me when CaitVi.. 🥳

Me when CaitVi after episode 3.. 😃

Me when Caitlyn and Vi had their first kiss only to kiss again deeper just to have the most devastating break up not only a couple hours (or less?) later when they aren’t even officially dating.. I lowkey get why Vi turned to alcohol because if a baddie like Cait left me I would never recover, Vi’s not doing well after her first wlw break up.. 😔😔

[my-taintedheart]

Spoilers for Season 2 Act 1 Episode 3 !!

The fight between Jinx and Vi?!?!

peek mama Sevika 😜😜

i’m actually in shambles, the way Jinx went ‘Go on, i’m ready. Im glad it’s you, had to be you.’ when Vi pinned her down to the table with her gauntlet around her neck about to kill her. what literally destroys me is how Jinx thinks of death as mercy and wanted to die, and wanted Vi to be the one to kill her. ✋😭

thank you to my baby Isha for saving Jinx, I just can’t believe Vi might’ve killed her— the fight between them was so sad because you could tell that Jinx didn’t want to hurt her, when Caitlyn shot Jinx’s finger off and she literally cries in pain— I think she either wants to die with the one she loves (Vi or Ekko or any of their remaining family) or not die at all..

WHEN THEY’RE IN THE OLD ARCADE AND JINX IS HIDING FROM THE ENFORCERS (Vi included ffs) AND CAN’T SHOOT VI?? AND SHE CRIES?!?! SHAMBLESSS..

[my-taintedheart]

I hate how Jinx’s eye colour includes ‘Violet’ which is Vi’s true name, one of the only times we hear Powder/ Jinx call Vi ‘Violet’ is after Vi punches her and she holds Powder’s face in her hand, this moment is one of Jinx’s most reoccurring memories.. 😭 I HATE how this her eye colour after the shimmer is Pink Violet, her shimmer injection which changes her eye colour symbolising her almost complete change into Jinx, the name coincidentally her sister calls her RIGHT BEFORE she says ‘Violet.. please..”

EDIT!!: I just noticed that Jinx’s eye colour before she gets the shimmer injection is literally called ‘Blue Violet’ 😭😭, this symbolises how she never gave up on her sister and was constantly searching for her, this is shown when she shoots the firelight who she thinks looks like Vi but gets angry when it isn’t, shooting the girl because she isn’t Vi not because she looked like Vi.. and how she sets off the blue flare in hope that somehow her sister will find her way back to her..

I despise how Vi’s eyes eye colour includes ‘Powder’ which, symbolises that Vi is so blinded by the love that she has for her younger sister that she cannot believe that she has changed (mainly because she blames herself for being the reason Powder changed into Jinx.)

hope you enjoyed this cutesy fact!! 😜😜

[my-taintedheart]

Life is Strange: Double Exposure..

honest review + comparison to LiS1!!

Also light spoiler warning!! If anyone wants it I will be explaining the plot. (it’s crazy confusing but i’ll try to help everyone get it)!! <3 if you want me to make a version without all the spoilers please tell me and I will!!

Key point I almost forgot to add, I chose Chloe died— I can’t see them breaking up and I can’t handle the mischaracterisation of her character either. (I will be playing the ‘We broke up’ pathway but because I just finished the game I wanna let it marinate). If you would like me to do a review on that (or just Chloe) I will, but please be patient!!

there are heavy spoilers in the paragraph about Safi’s character so be careful!!

I finished Life is Strange: Double Exposure the other night and I thought because they finally released the full game and some people (me) didn’t get Life is Strange (the first game) until a while after it’d released, I thought that you should know whether or not to get the game. I think with a game that costs as much as DE you definitely have to take reviews into consideration before spending that much money on a game that you might not like.

First of all, the plot. I thought in the early released 2 chapters I had a grasp on what was happening (I was wrong) the last 3 chapters completely lost me and I could barely put together the pieces of the plot without straining my head trying to understand— the plot could’ve been amazing but I feel as if it’s wasted potential considering that they didn’t need Max Caulfield to be the main character and she’s only there so it’ll be a ‘sequel’ but what i’ve noticed is that it isn’t an actual sequel to LiS1, my reasons for this are: the fact that the only thing connecting the two games are Max and her powers and Victoria Chase posting on Crosstalk.

Next of all, the romance options— I feel like Deck Nine were pushing romance way to much, which is most definitely shown in the game— so many characters were flirting with Max (I get it, she is unbelievably fine.) but I feel like it was too much— the smash or pass game with Vinh is just pushing it too much, yeah I get some adults may do that but it was giving high school and considering Max is pushing (or is?) 30, I felt like it was really childish for a bunch of middle aged/ young adults which is my reason for passing everyone (my heart belongs to Chloe..). I feel like even after friend-zoning Amanda and not drinking with Vinh they still continue to flirt with Max, which I find quite annoying since either of them can’t get the hint she isn’t available— the most annoying thing is that Vinh and Amanda aren’t even into Max like that, Amanda is trying to hide her feelings for Gwen (honestly real) and Vinh is still in love with Safi AND sleeping with Reggie who he later ends up getting with (i’m pretty sure..). No offence to Amanda or Vinh but I got the romantically disentangled badge (Romance neither Vinh or Amanda) because I feel like yes, Max deserves to love again but I don’t feel like in the 10 (?) years after Chloe died she would choose right after her friend (Safi) dies to start dating??

Like LiS1, Double Exposure took around 10 hours to finish the full game, I don’t really mind that because I had nothing to do anyways— the difference is that in LiS1 it didn’t really feel like 10 hours, it had such a steady flow that I got lost in and totally forgot time existed for those 10 hours. Whereas with Double Exposure it felt like time was slowed (in a bad way) and felt 2x longer than the 10 hours that I played, which would make sense for a game that Deck Nine produced because I felt the exact same way with Before the Storm. In my opinion it took so long to finish even though it was the same amount of time I spent on LiS1, I was bored and I just wanted it to be over with— and the fun and exciting feeling that LiS1 filled me with was severely lacking in Double Exposure.

The characters, where do I get started? First on my list:

Max, the main character of the game— she has changed so much in comparison to the girl she used to be in LiS1 but that’s understandable, almost a decade (I think?) later your bound to change even a little. I like how they kept her PTSD from The Dark Room which is shown in the last episode (I won’t spoil), I also like how they kept her nervous aspects but also made her a more confident character which is both shown when Amanda comes over to comfort her and Max says ‘I could eat you under the table’ without realising what it means until she says it, to which she (obviously) get super awkward about when she realises.

Next, Amanda honestly I feel like she was a super nice character and had okay writing which was sadly wasted potential because she (like most of the others) was a character around only to be a romance option for Max and lacked a true personality that didn’t revolve around romance or trying to flirt with Max (even after I friend-zoned Amanda..).

Next: Vinh, the fact that he had more of a personality and character than most of the other characters is disappointing because it’s also wasted potential, coincidentally wasted on guess what? Him only being an important (kinda) character, so he could also be a romance option is disappointing due that he was a (relatively) relatable character for some players. Sadly like Amanda, his whole personality revolved around trying to get into Max’s pants and the fact that he was in love with Safi— and at the same time sleeping around with Reggie.

Heavy spoilers below!! (Skip if you don’t wanna be spoiled)

Next: Safi, honestly her whole character was beyond confusing I mean there isn’t much I can say that could make sense without all the context— but I liked her, her character was probably one of the only characters that had character (if that makes sense?) her backstory was lacking in a way that Chloe’s wasn’t. (I’ll explain how I think they’re connected.) Also, her entire character was wasted on her confusing super-villain trope, all I got was that her Dad left and her Mom was in a bad mental state, her Mom tried to prove that she didn’t need Safi’s Dad’s help to do something right so she pressured Safi to be perfect to the point where Safi broke and became able to shape-shift into somebody else (which nobody, until Max knew about)— and she spiralled out of control after she found out her Mother cancelled her book deal (which was about Maya) and caused a storm because she lost control of her powers (like Max).

Last but not least, my comparison to LiS1– the main difference between Life is Strange and Double Exposure would be the producers: Life is Strange was produced by DONTNOD, correct me if I’m wrong who was fired by Deck Nine after they bought the Life is Strange name— Double Exposure was produced by Deck Nine (sadly) which was shown in the way the game/ characters were presented and produced. What I am the most mad about is how I feel like Deck Nine didn’t try with Double Exposure and only rode off Life is Strange and the nostalgia that comes with it along with Max Caulfield’s name. What I think is the worst joke of all is Chloe: the mischaracterisation, demonisation or just all together the lack of her character. Yes, I get that they may break up, but after everything they’ve been through? Also, the only reason they ‘broke up’ was because Deck Nine hated Chloe because she and Max were a more popular ship in LiS and they treasure Chloe and Rachel because they originate from their game (Before the Storm, which Deck Nine not DONTNOD produced) and are just salty that DONTNOD was praised for one of the best wlw ships in show and game history (my opinion!!) and didn’t want to bring either of her 2 voice actors back to voice her..

Sorry, now this is the last!! What I’ve noticed about Double Exposure the most are the many similarities between the characters, for example: Chloe and Safi. Safi resembles Chloe in many ways such as— her personality, her want for revenge and yet her want to sacrifice herself so that the others she has hurt can live and survive the storm that in theory was caused by her: Safi causes the storm after she spirals out of control of her powers and Chloe (indirectly) causes the storm after Max saves her from getting shot in the bathroom from Nathan Prescott.

Maya, Safi and Max remind me so heavily of Rachel, Chloe and Max— Max is trying so hard to save Safi/ Chloe and trying to prevent their deaths while they’re still stuck on their dead or missing ex-girlfriend/ friend who is no longer in the picture but is always still talked about by them and many others (Rachel and Maya are constantly haunting the narrative).

Vinh and Nathan, there are so many noticeable similarities between the two— the only difference being their financial status and their mental state. Their personalities, how they act, how Vinh made a false statement after Maya died about her mental health and how Nathan ended up overdosing Rachel on accident. Both try to prove themselves, to show that they aren’t their parents and they’re more than just who their parents think they’ll turn out to be. For example: Nathan, accidentally overdoses Rachel (who was his friend, or trusted him enough to take drugs with him) in an attempt to prove himself to Mark Jefferson— and Vinh makes a false statement about Maya’s mental health (who he was supposedly friends with), and was talked about to of ‘followed them around like a puppy’ (the ‘them’ being Safi and Maya). So he can prove himself to Yasmin (Safi’s mother) and have a stable job because he knows that he won’t make it far as an actor and wants a stable fallback plan so he won’t end up working at his parent’s liquor store.

Amanda and Warren, at first I thought of how Amanda reminds me of Chloe but then I realised she is more like Warren in a way, crushing on Max— and even after getting friend-zoned they both still wanted to be close to Max. One of the only differences is that Warren was in love with Max and Amanda was in love with Gwen (I’m pretty sure?), also another difference is Amanda’s personality is more of a mixture of Chloe’s punk-ness and Warren’s sweetness.

I think (for now) the final similarity between the games I have noticed is how the ending of Double Exposure is not original at all. I mean, Double Exposure is an exact carbon copy of the first Life is Strange game— yes I know Double Exposure is a sequel to the first game but that isn’t an excuse for it to be the same game just a different confusing plot, even the characters and the ending were unoriginal. It’s disappointing how this game is so expensive just for the characters and ending to be almost the same as the first game. I mean come on, you have to choose between the town being destroyed and not killing your best friend who you tried so hard to not let end up dying just for you to have to choose— sound familiar? Yeah, it’s the same ending as LiS: You have to choose between the town, rewinding time through a photo to when Nathan shot Chloe and not rewinding time so that you don’t cause the storm trying to save her from that moment on— or choose Chloe and let the town get destroyed because you vowed to never leave her, after (clearly) falling in love with her as you play as Max. Even the way Max goes back in DE to the moment before she shoots Safi is the same as she used to go back before you Max uses her powers to save Chloe. A photo, be more original?

I can’t believe they are so salty towards a fictional character (Chloe) that they would try and replace her with another character (Safi) who severely lacks the emotional depth and writing that Chloe has. Even replicating the ‘Bae or Bay’ ending with Max and Safi? They’re trying so hard to replace Chloe just because they don’t like her but I know that they can’t undo 9 full years of falling in love with Max and Chloe (pricefield), by just remaking the ending with Safi and Max and trying to push their ship on using just so their game can qualify as LGBTQ+ so they can make more money.

In conclusion, wait until it’s on sale at least to waste your money on this game— not only did they make us wait almost an entire decade for a pricefield or After the Storm (Basically a game that included pricefield and what happened after the storm) related game sequel but they piggybacked off LiS and Max Caulfield’s names to squeeze the last drops of money out of a project (started by DONTNOD) that was supposed to share their art style and their story without using it for money, as far as I’m concerned Double Exposure is not canon due to the fact it’s an obvious cash grab with multiple bugs and glitches that show that the game was rushed. I mean, there are multiple reports of layoffs a week before the game is released and how rushed it is.

I don’t think Double Exposure could ever compare to LiS I mean seriously after I’d finished Life is Strange , I sat there sobbing for like a whole hour I mean I was just shocked because just— wow. I think Life is Strange was the first game (or even thing) to make me feel like a different person— like it had changed me in some inexplicable way and all I knew was and now is that I love Life is Strange and nothing will ever change that. Whereas Double Exposure I just finished it and went: ‘meh, I’m just gonna watch some YouTube’— also like Before the Storm (also produced by Deck Nine) I finished the game and was just bored, in absolutely no way did it have the same effect on me that the first Life is Strange game did.

[my-taintedheart]

Thank youu, like I personally can’t believe they broke up— I just don’t see that happening after everything they’ve been through but even so in no way did they have to demonise Chloe’s character because they wanted Max to be shipped with the other characters in DE.

No matter how hard deck nine tries, no ship in the entire life is strange history can be compared or even be remotely comparable to pricefield.

(SPOILERS FOR LIFE IS STRANGE COMICS which are old at this point what are you doing AND SOME DOUBLE EXPOSURE SPOILERS)

Got that warning out of the way. Yeah. So. If you know The Spoiler then you know.

With FULL disclaimer that I know the comics are officially "only one possible version of reality", and are in no way binding canon. Nevertheless, they are official still.

Here's Chloe freelancing as a designer for a rock band. She also travels with them later.

Here's Chloe taking an internship at an auto repairs shop, 'cause she's good with cars.

Here's Chloe some years later taking an active part in rebuilding Arcadia Bay and her mother's diner. Taking a responsible leader role and shit.

Here's Chloe opening her own auto repairs shop she's now the boss of. And evidently designing it herself. Y'know. 'Cause she's good at stuff

Here's Chloe also buying an apartment for Max and her. Together. On her initiative.

Here's Chloe being willing to wait for her superpowered ass girlfriend for the aforementioned years because plot happened to Max, as it does, and she's her "partner in time".

Here they both are after another timeskip, fully consistent with LiS 2 photo

Y'know. This one.

In a recovering town. Where Chloe rebuilt a diner and established her own auto shop with her own hard work and skill. And bought them an apartment. TO SETTLE DOWN TOGETHER.

Note: Full disclosure, they had an apartment in Seattle together before "plot happened" and also traveled around with a rock band for years so it's not like Chloe ultimately ends up confined to Arcadia Bay again. Don't worry.

BONUS: Them being normal with Victoria:

So yeah. "Chloe is a free spirit who didn't wanna be tied down or take life seriously and fucked off to flirt with Victoria Chase" MY ASS.

Granted, both this and DE are about equal in being "canon" but. In terms of Chloe's characterization and what we know from previous games. I can see her do all this. Even if you take the relationship out of the equation, fine, the rest of it. I do NOT see her doing ALL THAT.

Bite me, for all their faults the comics understood Chloe's character much better than whatever DE has got so far.

Anyway this is not a "GOTCHA" post, this is a "If you're pissed like me take this and run"

[my-taintedheart]

I’m so glad most of us collectively agree that Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a desperate cash grab, riding on Max Caulfield’s name just so they can squeeze the last drops of money out of the Life is Strange name before they completely destroy it.

Why try and demonise Chloe like they did to Max in BtS is my question, here’s my answer: They’re trying to push their crappy ship onto us by attempting to make us hate Chloe so that we will ship Safi and Max, Amanda and Max or even Vinh and Max (who like I said, in every dialogue we have with him includes at least two flirty options) just like they did with Max in BtS so Rachel and Chloe would be a ship that would try and live up to the pricefield name but in my opinion I don’t think any wlw ship in a game so far has compared to pricefield and what Max did for Chloe to keep her alive since she could be with her.

They’re trying to shape Chloe into a different person so they can make us forget about how we desperately waited over 9 years for an After the Storm game including Max and Chloe (and their happy relationship) just for them to release this game, in reality it’s just a bad reflection on how the game was rushed how there were multiple layoffs and is their last attempt to squeeze money out of the Life is Strange name.
