Tumblr media
The fear, frustration and adrenaline were a volatile combination swirling around in Brooke's body after watching Brody's fight, leading the blonde to lash out with her words without even taking a minute to realize how her comments were coming across. Brooke could tell by the look that hung heavy on Brody's features and the slight tremor in his voice that she had hurt him, even without meaning to. That thought alone felt like another punch to the gut, one that was akin to the actual blows Brody had just endured in the ring only several minutes earlier. She never wanted him to see her as the enemy, not when she cared about him even far more than he probably realized.
The truth Brody admitted had Brooke's throat tightening. She knew that was the case, but hearing it from his mouth and the pain in his tone made it so much worse. " Of course that's not what I want to hear. " Brooke's expression softened, eyes nearly pleading with him to stop down this path of self-destruction. She didn't know how to make him see that it led nowhere good. Tears threatened her vision again, along quick with the realization that this was not the time nor the place to show any sort of vulnerability. Not for her and certainly not for Brody either, especially with so many potential opponents and betters around, all with very watchful eyes. " Come with me. " Brooke urged, reaching for his hand and gently curling her fingers in-between his, careful to avoid the knuckles that looked bruised or swollen. Moving at a pace slower than what she would walk on any normal day, obviously for his sake, Brooke guided Brody towards the back locker room, hoping they would make it there without consequence and even more so, that they would have some privacy when they got there. Thankfully, it was deserted. With all the commotion going on inside the actual gym, it was no wonder why.
" Sit. " Brooke gestured with her chin towards one of the benches not littered with dirty clothes or fighting gear as she headed towards a first aid kit hanging on the far wall. Carrying it back to where Brody had seated himself, she busied herself for a moment by familiarizing herself with the contents. Tearing open an alcohol swab, Brooke eased herself between Brody's partly spread legs. Gingerly taking his chin between her fingers, Brooke tilted his face up towards her, a sad sort of smile ghosting her lips, eyes lit with its usual fond tenderness when looking at him. "You know I wasn't trying to insult you out there, right ? " With feather-light movements, she began to dab at the split skin above his eyebrow oozing with fresh blood. Brooke didn't need to warn him it would sting. It wasn't like he didn't already know that. And given what he just faced in the ring and subsequently admitted to her about wanting the pain, Brooke didn't think the slight burn would even phase him. " You're one of the best fighters I've ever seen, Brody. Truly. " She added quietly, intentionally avoiding the male's gaze as she focused on cleaning the most prominent wound on his face. " I just hate watching you hurt yourself for nothing... I don't understand it. "
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His body was hot and it wasn't just because he had just finished the fight that was the topic of their argument. Anger bubbled where defensiveness also grew, eyes tracking Brooke's movements as if she were his opponent in the ring and not someone who very obviously fucking cared about his well-being. He appreciated her for her critiques and guidance where no one else had offered but in moments like these where they were all but at each other's throats and especially coming off the high of a fight. It wasn't easy listening to Brooke point out every single one of his terrible mistakes, ones he could have avoided, ones he should have avoided because he was fucking better than that guy by a long shot. Yeah, he'd won anyway but not without letting that prick get in a few good licks and one too many according to Brooke.
Brody shook his head but regretted it the second he did it, dizziness clouding his vision for just a moment before he centered himself again and focused on Brooke. "Why do you have to tear into me like that? You just... pick apart everything I fucking do wrong," just like his dad. It hit a sore spot and he had to swallow down the bitterness he knew Brooke didn't deserve aimed at her. Hearing his father tear him down since childhood should have made him calloused to it from other people and he knew what Brooke was saying and usually did was totally different but he couldn't help taking it the wrong way.
"Yeah, okay, I fucking get it Brooke. I'm an idiot and fucked up on purpose, is that what you want to hear? That I let that prick hit me so hard just so I would get hurt because I want to hurt?" It sounded just as stupid coming from his mouth as it did in his head but the reason was honest. He wanted to hurt because all his life he'd been force fed that it was all he deserved. When Brody's mother died, so did the happiness in his life.

🏆 SUPER BOWL SHOWDOWN: GOLDEN KNIGHTS VS. EMERALD TITANS – THE ULTIMATE BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY 🏆
An Exclusive Pre-Game Analysis by Gridiron Insider
This is it. The moment we’ve all been waiting for.
After a season of blood, sweat, and bone-crushing plays, the Golden Knights and the Emerald Titans are set to collide in a Super Bowl matchup for the ages.
Both teams have trained harder than ever, pushed their limits beyond expectation, and forged themselves into titans of the game. Every pass, tackle, and strategic move has led to this moment. Now, under the blinding lights of the superbowl stage, they will battle for the right to be called the greatest team.
Two elite teams. One historic night. No second chances.
Tumblr media
Captain Xander and Captain Brody are ready to face each others
Who will seize victory and who will crumble under the pressure?
Let’s break down the starting lineups, team strengths, and key matchups in what promises to be a legendary clash of unstoppable forces.
🔥 GOLDEN KNIGHTS: THE RELENTLESS WARRIORS OF GOLD 🔥
The Golden Knights arrive with one of the most disciplined and physically dominant squads in Super Bowl history. Under the guidance of Captain Brody Gold (#11), the team is a perfect blend of precision, aggression, and brotherhood.
Tumblr media
Gold's Defense : Trevor, #52, Eddy #73 and Brock #46
What sets the Knights apart is their unity and execution. With Maximus fully integrated into Football Drone Mode, every player is a piece of a flawless machine, moving with surgical accuracy and ruthless efficiency.
🔨 Strengths:
✔ Unbreakable Offensive Line: Led by Maximus (#70), the Knights' protection unit is impenetrable—a fortress of gold and black standing between Brody and the Titans’ relentless rush. ✔ Defensive Destruction: Hercules (#28) and Ares (#29) are twin wrecking balls in the linebacker corps, ready to crush anything in their path. ✔ Strategic Genius: Brody’s ability to read defenses and adjust on the fly will be key to unlocking the Titans' defensive schemes. ✔ Fan Power: With Milo, Drone-Pup 151, rallying the Golden Army, the Knights will have one of the loudest and most energized stadium presences ever recorded.
⚠️ Challenges:
❌ Overcoming Titanus: The Titan defensive wall, led by Damien Raines (#97) and Marcus Vaughn (#54), will be the toughest front line Gold has faced all season. ❌ Handling the Titans’ Speed: The Titans' elite offense, fueled by Jalen Carter (#4) and DeShawn Holloway (#22), will push the Knights' defense to its absolute limit.
⭐ Key Players to Watch:
Tumblr media
Maximus, #70, during his football drone training
🔥 Maximus (#70, OT) – The Indestructible Engine
The perfect football machine. No fatigue, no hesitation—just execution.
Every block, every push, every adjustment will be flawless.
If the Titans can’t break him, they can’t win.
🔥 Hercules (#28, MLB) – The Gamebreaker
The commanding force behind Gold’s defensive wall.
If Herc dominates the midfield, the Titans will struggle to get any offensive momentum.
🔥 Brody (#11, QB) – The Field General
The brain of the operation.
He’ll need to read the defense fast, stay cool under pressure, and take calculated risks.
🔥 Ares (#28, OLB) – The Chaos Bringer
Explosive, violent, relentless.
Will attack Xander Malone all night, trying to force bad decisions.
Tumblr media
The Linebacker trio : Twin Herc (#29) and Ares (#29) taking the new Linebacker Roman (#30) under their wing.
🔥 Brock (#46, Defensive Safety) – The Guardian
The last line of defense.
If the Titans break through, Brock must shut them down.
🔥 Eddy "Tamerlan" (#73, DE) – The Strategist
His mental conditioning of the team has pushed the Knights beyond their normal limits.
His presence ensures the Knights maintain focus and unity.
🔥 Trevor (#52, DT) – The Immovable Wall
The anchor of the defensive line, ensuring the Titans’ running lanes stay sealed.
🔥 Grayden (#84, WR & Head Mascot) – The Wild Card
Can strike when least expected.
If the Titans ignore him, they’ll regret it.
💚 EMERALD TITANS: THE UNYIELDING GIANTS 💚
The Emerald Titans have revenge on their minds. After their last defeat at the hands of the Knights, they have trained with a singular purpose—destroying Gold and reclaiming their throne.
Led by Xander Malone (#12), their precision offense and suffocating defense make them a formidable opponent.
🔨 Strengths:
✔ Elite Quarterback Play: Xander Malone is one of the most efficient passers in the league and has the weapons to carve up Gold’s defense. ✔ Lightning-Fast Receivers: Jalen Carter (#4) can outrun nearly anyone—if he breaks into open space, Gold is in trouble. ✔ Crushing Defense: With Raines (#97) and Vaughn (#54) leading the charge, Brody will have to work for every yard.
Tumblr media
The offensive powerhouse of Emerald Titans : Jalen (#04), DeShawn (#22) and Travis (#76)
⚠️ Challenges:
❌ Breaking Through Maximus: If Maximus holds the line, Brody will have time to pick apart the Titans’ defense. ❌ Surviving the Golden Army's Hits: The Knights’ linebackers play violently. Malone will need to make decisions in a split second. ❌ Stopping the Momentum: If Gold builds energy, Milo and the Golden Army will amplify it to an unstoppable level.
💀 KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH – EMERALD TITANS 💀
🔥 Xander "X-Factor" Malone (#12, QB) – The Precision General
Reads defenses like a machine, never rattled under pressure.
Deadly accurate passer—if given time, he will carve through the Golden defense.
Has a perfect connection with Jalen Carter (#4), a combination that has destroyed defenses all season.
🔥 Jalen "Blitz" Carter (#4, WR) – The Untouchable Speed Demon
Explosive acceleration—faster than anyone on the field.
A deep-ball nightmare—if he gets behind the defense, it’s an automatic touchdown.
If Brock can’t shut him down, Gold is in trouble.
🔥 Damien "The Fortress" Raines (#97, DT) – The Unmovable Object
A 6’5, 330-pound monster who commands the defensive line.
Demands double-teams, freeing up linebackers to attack.
If Maximus can’t handle him, Brody is going down.
🔥 Marcus "Ironclad" Vaughn (#54, MLB) – The Titan Commander
Leads the Titans' defense, calling adjustments mid-play.
Has a knack for making clutch tackles in game-changing moments.
Will be in a constant war with Chevy and Brody.
🔥 DeShawn "Tank" Holloway (#22, RB) – The Unstoppable Runner
Runs through defenders like a wrecking ball.
If he finds gaps in the line, he can wear Gold’s defense down over time.
Tumblr media
Darius (#02) snatching another interception
🔥 Darius "The Phantom" King (#2, CB) – The Shadow in Coverage
Elite at shutting down receivers and snatching interceptions.
Always a step ahead—quarterbacks beware.
🔥 Travis "Titan" McAllister (#76, OT) – The Living Fortress
Massive, immovable protector of Xander Malone.
If he holds, the Titans’ offense thrives.
🔥 Corbin "The Sentinel" Cross (#31, FS) – The Last Line of Defense
Hard-hitting, fast, and always lurking deep.
Any risky throw could be a trap.
⚔️ MASCOT SHOWDOWN: SYMBOLS OF DOMINANCE ⚔️
🔥 GOLDEN KNIGHTS’ TRIO
🛡️ The Golden Knight: The embodiment of honor, resilience, and football glory. 🐅 Dorado, The Golden Tiger: A ferocious beast prowling the sidelines, ready to strike. (@leander-gold-88) 🐕 Milo, Drone-Pup 151: The tactical cheer commander, ensuring Gold’s fans are louder than ever. (@polo-drone-151)
Tumblr media
Mascot face-off : Titanus vs The Golden Knight
💚 EMERALD TITANS’ TITANUS
🛡️ Titanus, The Indomitable Colossus: A towering, emerald-armored behemoth, embodying Titan strength and endurance.
🏆 FINAL VERDICT: WHO TAKES THE TITLE?
🏆 Will Gold’s precision and unity prevail? 🏆 Or will the Titans’ raw power and speed prove unstoppable?
One thing is certain: this game will be a war. Legacies will be forged. One team will rise, the other will fall.

A Story about Ostracization, Erasure, Displacement, and More
Tumblr media
Image: Dontnod Entertainment via Polygon
Homelessness/Houselessness:
What makes Life is Strange 2 special is its overarching themes of displacement, exclusion, and being “the other.” The game explores these themes in a variety of ways. The first way it explores them is by tackling Houselessness/Homelessness, and more importantly, youth Houselessness/Homelessness, which is seldom discussed. Throughout the game, there are various representations of characters who are homeless, nomadic, or are living unconventional lifestyles. Sean and Daniel lose their mother after she leaves to be raised by their father alone and end up losing their father after a racial profiling incident with a police officer occurs; the boys are left with no caretakers. Our protagonists are completely displaced and are considered criminals, thugs, outlaws, murderers, etc. The labels harm them even more, however, due to their Mexican American identities.
On the other end of the homeless/houseless spectrum, are characters like Brody (Brody Holloway), who was raised in an upper-class family but decided the unconventional and nomadic lifestyle was best for him. He becomes a traveling journalist and has the freedom to protest, write blogs, do podcasts, etc. He has the freedom to roam around and be creative because of the high class, safe, and structured upbringing he came from.
There are many other drifters Sean and Daniel meet along their journey. We’re introduced to characters like Cassidy who comes from an emotionally abusive family, where her father was racist and addicted to drugs, and her mother was complacent to it all. There’s also characters like Finn (Finnegan McNamara), whose father ratted him and his brothers out to law enforcement after starting an illegal business with them. The incident resulted in him and his brothers going to jail. Penny was continuously ostracized while growing up in a poor neighborhood in Chicago because of his “queer” identity. We’re also introduced to Jacob (Jacob Hackerman), who grew up in a very pious cult-like community that he was exiled from because of his gay identity. Later on in the game, we learn more about Karen, Sean and Daniel’s mother, who wanted to pave her own path and be set free from the rules set by society. We meet many characters similar to her in the commune that she resides in. The game gives us wide arrange of perspectives on and outcomes of homelessness/houselessness, some choose it, and others don’t have a choice but to live the way they do.
