Just finished reading I, The Forgotten One by John Louis and, my god, it's one of the best interactive novels I've ever read. Medieval fantasy story about the horrors of war and struggling with ptsd and severe depression.

The writing is excellent -- immaculate tension that pays off in the end, flawless dialogue, and an attention to detail that really brought everything to life. There's so much to praise here. The periodic vignettes were a brilliant touch. And for me personally, the depiction of masculine affection between closeted men (in the gay romance subplot you can pursue with Sir Obren) resonated with me so hard.

The gameplay is just as good, even tho it takes a back seat to the story. It hit that sweet spot between clarity and challenge. I always really appreciate when the choices are more complex than just "pick the choice that best represents your highest stat."

A gothic literature hyperfixation has possessed me so I made this

John Martin (1789-1854) "Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion" (1812) Oil on canvas Romanticism Located in the Saint Louis Art Museum, St Louis, Missouri, United states The painting depicts Sadak, a fictional character in a story in James Ridley's The Tales of the Genii; it is a faux-Oriental tale allegedly from a Persian manuscript, but actually the work of Ridley himself. In Ridley's story, the hero Sadak is sent by his Sultan, Amurath, to find the memory-destroying "waters of oblivion." The Sultan maliciously intends to use the waters on Sadak's wife Kalasrade in a seduction attempt. Sadak endures a range of trials — a tempest at sea, a plague, evil genii, a subterranean whirlpool — before he attains his goal. In the end, the Sultan himself falls victim to the water's effect. Amurath dies; Sadak becomes Sultan. Martin's picture portrays Sadak at the climax of his struggle, just before he reaches the waters of oblivion.

I have no idea if this poll will have as much widespread appeal as some of the others, but this idea popped into my head and felt like a fun one to me, so...

Now you can take this whatever direction you'd like: who you realistically think you're the closest match to, or pure wish fulfillment who'd you most enjoy being. I'd love to see people's reasonings for their choices in the comments and tags. x3 Please reblog for a larger sample size!

In my case, I'd love to think I'm the Watson as a loyal friend, but I'm far too squeamish to be helpful with most medical needs besides basic first aid, and I would NOT be any help in a fight, I'm running in the other direction and yanking Sherly with me the second there's gunshots, bye. I think I'm mostly likely Mrs. Hudson--responsible, own a home, love Sherly and Watson despite their faults, still deeply loyal and tough in my own way even if I'm not in the thick of the danger, a bit of a homebody probably and good at whipping up some tea/food.

With all that said, interpret these roles any way you want! That will be a big part of the fun for this one, seeing how people decide and back up their picks. :)

We're all that's left, aren't we?

[manwrre]

what’s your favorite ship and why is it a feral blonde with anger/daddy/mommy issues and a brunette who tries (but fails) to keep him on a leash?

OR alternatively, psycho, killing machine brunette and his moral compass and handler blonde?
