LAKEHOUSE SPOILERS (vaguely, tangential, but still spoiler)

Man i am SO Happy to see the bookers again like genuinely, I spent this whole YEAR wondering about their wherabouts and hoping remedy wouldn't just abandon them when they had so many little details in the game (plus an Obvious echo to alan and alice) so seeing them again is immensely satisfying 😌

Now I'm worried about them though, this is quite possibly the worst place they could be right now 😬😭

[vonlipvig]

Do you have a ranking of the bits of you life endings? Like most favorite to least?

oh my god, i have a terrible memory, there's no way i can rank them now i cause i barely remember what happens in each of them lmao. i just remember funny moments completely devoid of context, like all the times ivan was kinda hot (SORRY!) or when peter chases eamon around the studio, or when peter is drunk as fuck and they all sing the song at the end and it's very naughty. many many things.

you may even say that i remember...bits...of their life!............where is everybody. hello? oh god that's dorothy hammermann with a hammer about to hit me on the HEA---[BONK].

[gothamcityneedsme]

[embarressment-erradicated]

they made final fantasy 7 to long I AM not playing all of that, fuck off I'm sure it's one of the best games out this year but no.

you couldn't make me do that lol.

[oh-meow-swirls]

batshit insane statement but part of harrisville's theme sounds kinda like part of uhhhhh. one fantasy life song. i don't remember which part but it has fantasy life vibes. they probably had the same composers honestly sfdlkfjlksfjkfkjsf-

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

It's Birch with questions about Kala (of course!) & if you want to throw in anyone else they're absolutely invited, I just have the brainrot

From the Dragon Age Character Questions (sorry if these were asked already):

Essentials 1 (& is there any significance to Kalah/Kalagna name scheme?), 5. Codex 10. Origins 25?

[ask game]

Thank you as always for giving me an excuse to ramble about her <33 And sorry i forgot to post the answer oop

Essentials

1. What is their name, and how old are they? Does their name or birthday hold any significance?

It was coincidence, actually x'D My bestie name generator spit out Kalagna and i thought it fit, and didn't expect her mother to have such a similar name lol. I'm still not sure if these was an IC reason for the name tbh.. Maybe it's just a really generic dwarf name

5. What do they specialize in within their class?

Champion! Kala is not exactly a heroic leader type, but she does have a very strong presence on the battlefield, and is aware of that fact. So it seemed like a good fit :]

Codex

10. Are there any animals they have a particular love or hatred for?

She has a fascination for birds (to Shale's dismay)! Songbirds and corvids especially. Also a big bug enjoyer, and has gained a lot of respect for mabari. Not so much a fan of underwater critters though. Specially large ones.

Origins

25. How did your Warden resolve Warden’s Keep? Stone Prisoner? The Golems of Amgarrak?

Warden's Keep was. Ok? Demons are kinda spooky but mostly an annoyance, to her. She does not care much for surfacer history, so it didn't leave an impression in that regard either. Def killed Avernus though.

I think it's probably no surprise that as a dwarf, she was curious about this supposed golem and went investigate. Didn't expect to find an Actual Working Golem (which turned out to be not 'working' but 'sentient') though. For how she dealt with Kitty i'd have to check the keep, but knowing Kala she killed her as soon as she knew it was a demon.

For Amgarrak, she wasn't sure if keeping it quiet or spreading the would be more efficient in keeping more people from experimenting further, but either was she wanted to shut it down. Couldn't deny that a part of her had a morbid curiosity about the research, but there was a reason she destroyed the anvil, and this proved that she was right to do so. The lyrium wells were a bunch of brainfuckery that she did not deal with any more than needed.

[twipsai]

is it an unpopular opinion to say that i like The End's fight in the base game rather than the dlc?

[wannabe-minion-of-chaos]

So in your chaos theory au, do the events of the tfbw dlcs happen? I can completely understand why btc wouldn’t considering it’s very……not child-friendly for a whole lot of reasons and also the summer camp thing doesn’t really work if they’re not children. Fdtcb, however, I feel is, like, peak cartoon material if you take out the “Corey Haim” (Michael Jackson) stuff.

Sort of!! I just wanna clarify I haven't actually played the BTC dlc fully though yet and only know a little about the plot, but once I fully play through it I'll probably make a follow up (I will say though for the sake of "not wanting to go down that road" the ending scene with Mintberry isn't canon to my au). I could possibly come up with a slasher movie parody in it's place if need be

However I do have an idea that at least references the casa bonita dlc, with the vamp kids yet again as the antagonists!! And they're actually vampires in this au :]

The hypothetical episode would be a Halloween special and basically be a mix between From Dusk til Casa Bonita and The Ungroundable (which is one of my favorite episodes) and don't worry the Micheal Jackson stuff won't be included

[poptartmochi]

it is 4am so i am once again debating if it would be evil of me to give Maggie red hair

[megapocalypse]

AU where Shen Yuan plays a PIDW otome spin-off game where you date all the male characters and he decides to give it a shot because he heard Luo Binghe's characterization was really good in it. He's a hardcore LBH fanboy and he can't pass this chance up, but it's one of those games in which you need to unlock guys by finishing the first few and because LBH is the protagonist he's not only locked behind another character but he's also paywalled and his route is extremely difficult.

Shen Yuan ends up spending 100+ hours into this game and trying to explore all the routes and side quests, he's gotten almost all the secret endings for every guy and he's maxed the dlc characters.

LQG - One of the first love interests. You meet him when you find him poisoned, you protect him from a three headed snake monster and he's deeply indebted to you.

MQF - Unlocked via LQG's route, you get him when your MC has to take LQG to get healed.

GYX - He helps you on a mission to Bailu Forest, only romancable once you unlock the Huan Hua area.

YQY - Unlocked after you complete the good routes of all the romancable peak lords of CQM. His good ending is extremely hard to get.

ZHL - Unlockable after you romance GYX, he's a dlc character.

TLJ - Also a dlc character, you can romance him once you've completed every character's route.

SJ - Arguably the hardest romance route, almost all options lead to the bad ending and you really have to be specific with which routes you choose for your New Game + playthrough. Not to mention he has a secret ending that's even harder to unlock.

Now Shen Yuan has FINALLY gotten to LBH, you meet him through SJ's route as a white lotus disciple, but you have to romance SJ and TLJ before you can romance him. In his bad ending he kills you for siding with CQM, the neutral ending you become part of the harem. You can only unlock the good ending by unlocking SJ's secret ending. The good ending you get an option to tell LBH your feelings, it's an experimental game mechanic where you can literally type out a response. Some people may shit post on this section, but SY puts down his real and genuine thoughts out towards LBH. LBH then asks SY to promise him that they would stay together forever, and SY chooses the yes option.

Okay so new game plus time, SY got through all the endings now he needs to replay to get the super uper duper ng+ secret endings, so he plays the game normally just speeding through with the first love interest, Liu Qingge; but as he's on the rank 7 love confession scene, the game suddenly crashes and he has to reboot the game. His save file got erased so he just plays again normally, but for some reason it keeps veering him towards Luo Binghe's route, when he meets him during Jinlan City...

Every time he tries to get the other routes his save file crashes, or it would just go right to Luo Binghe's route. He looks it up on the Internet to see how to fix the bug... Nobody else is having this problem.

So he just decides to keep going with the Luo Binghe route again since he liked it so much, and he gets back to the true ending where he promises Binghe he'll stay with him forever. But then, suddenly there's an error message on the screen saying "System Reboot: initializing" and when it fully loads it says "Welcome User 002, to Proud Immortal Demon Way". And then the power cuts out, Shen Yuan is a little startled and confused until he feels an electric jolt. He falls limply to the ground, and wakes up in a new world.

A pop up screen shows up in front of him

Select your Name

________ ________

It's the PIDW start up screen.

.

Okay my brain is fuzzed but basically SY gets doki doki fucked and transmigrates into the game. Luo Binghe is a yandere who keeps trying to mess with the system, maybe he kills a few guys just to be silly 😜. Yada yada that's all I got.

[v-iv-rusty]

tbh I was excited to get to ds3 and finish it but I'm kinda sad now that I'm done with all the souls games

[seraphdesire]

Regarding Donna Beneviento and her characterisation in the fandom, I think it's important to note that she really isn't the shy awkward adorable blushing mess that everyone depicts her as being.

This got long but I did a mildly extensive read on her character under the break! :)

Here are the notes I took a screencap of, written by Mother Miranda, which talks about the suitability of Donna being a vessel for Eva:

There's the evidence you need that she is severely mentally ill, so babying her just feels... wrong anyway, all things considered.

Note - "and has divided her Cadou among her dolls in order to control them from a distance." While I'm on my 3rd replay of re8 I still don't fully get how the Cadou works, but what I think is essentially happening is Donna is literally splitting off parts of herself and putting them in her dolls.

The main one being Angie, of course.

I always used to consider Angie a separate character entirely but she's linked deeply to Donna on a very personal level. Considering what she's like and what all the other dolls are like - loud, funny, sarcastic, rude, etc - and how Donna is literally the one directly controlling Angie (that's the only way she moves lol, because Donna is carrying her places. Which is also why, when you kill Angie, the illusion melts away to reveal that you've actually killed Donna), I think it's safe to say that's what her actual personality is like.

Also, her only spoken line of dialogue? Please listen to it. For those who are hard of hearing, like me, she says: "don't leave... I can't let you."

Bearing in mind the way she speaks? Her tone? She sounds confident imo. Determined. And perhaps even a little angry at Ethan for thinking he can escape her.

Just a last addition as well, can I say that her abilities as one of the Four Lourds is genuinely evil? Everyone else has physical intimidation - Alcina has her height and her claws and mutation, Heisenberg has his ability to control magnetic fields and metal, and Moreau can mutate into that huge fish-with-legs thing that vomits something akin to acid? Oh yeah and he can swallow you whole too.

Donna, on the other hand, doesn't have physical intimidation like that. She only has the threat of psychological damage (which makes sense considering she's severely mentally unwell). When Ethan goes through her gardens and has to solve the puzzles in the house, she makes him hallucinate about his wife whom he thinks is dead, and about his baby who is somewhere in this unknown country with a bunch of mutants who only have bad intentions.

It's even worse in the Shadows of Rose DLC imo. As Rose, Donna makes her hallucinate the bullies from back home, being called a freak and a weirdo, made to relive the worst moments of her life. And the puzzles too? Hell. Having to actually recreate the scenes of her bullying with wooden fucking dolls. I remember feeling really sorry for Rose while playing through that part.

And yet Donna is still "the uwu baby" because what? I don't know. People love to declaw female villains just because they're attractive (looking at Lady Dimitrescu here). They love to reduce the characters down to their looks and not consider their actual lore or background or the role they play in the franchise (looking at Leon especially...)

Which, ya know, of course people are allowed their headcanons for characters and Donna doesn't get enough screentime to really have her personality even thought of, let alone to be made canon. But I think it's fair to say that Angie and Donna are basically one and the same because they're literally the same Cadou.

This is a quick reminder that you are, of course, allowed to disagree with me. Everyone has their own opinions and that's fine. If you would like to politely debate about this in my comments or in my DMs, or even in my asks, then you're more than welcome to! Please remember debating and arguing are two different things though.

If it really irks you that bad then please scroll, it's not hard. If you don't want to do that then feel free to block me - the button is free of charge after all and should be used more to cultivate your feed to your liking.
