How it feels being in the life is strange fandom rn

[fired-up-art]

HAPPY (late) HALLOWEEN!!! Little amberpricefield as pirates because I’m nothing if not self indulgent

Post is late cause my friends birthday is November 5th so I was focusing on his painting/gift

Anyways! Enjoy the gays✨✨

[lifeisstrange-incorrectquotes]

Chloe, pretending to joke: So when are you going to go out with me?

Rachel: I don't know. When are you going to ask me to?

(Later)

Max: And then you just ran away?!

Chloe: I didn't expect her to flirt back!! 

[bulletbilltime]

Pricefield fans: Our ship isn't canon anymore D:

Me whose OT3 has a literal canonically dead character in it: First time here?

Save Arcadia or Save Chloe Ending? Bro what are you talking about all I know is AmberPriceField

[arcadiabaytornado]

Do you think amberpricefield could have happened if Max and Chloe were to have found Rachel alive?

I mean anything's possible...and I love the idea of Amberpricefield... but likely not with what we know in canon.

I think Chloe and Max's jealousy issues would be too intense in a relationship with multiple partners. Chloe has intense emotions if Max sides with anyone but her, and Max is very clearly jealous of Chloe's bond with Rachel. I think if Max ever chose Rachel over Chloe for ANY reason, Chloe would spiral out. And I think any time Chloe showed Rachel any affection, Max would eat herself alive over it.

It's also very unclear if Rachel even wanted a romantic relationship with Chloe at the point of the first game. She clearly cares about her, but there's no indications that they were together.

So realistically I'm going with no...but is that going to stop me from shipping it anyways? Of course not. I will not be limited by canon. (Or what I assume would be canon. Not actual canon.)

[tiredamberhues]

i dunno maybe i'm in the minority here but i wasn't really expecting much pricefield content from DE?

esp since they were gonna be adults, in a totally different new part of their lives

idk /shrugs, i'm still gonna keep making pricefield / amberpricefield content and i can freely... ignore the canon

[kincalling]

Hi, I'm Max Caulfield from Life is Strange. I'm a kin, but I also have a Max fictive. We're looking for a Chloe Price mainly but would be okay with talking to anyone. We have a main Bae > Bay canon, Chloe and I spent our lives together after the storm, but have multiple timelines, including an amberpricefield. We're 21, so please be over 18.

idk if you're in the lis fandom, but amberpricefield for 002?

You're in luck! I am, in fact, in the Life is Strange fandom.

When I started shipping them:

I watched a few different let's plays of the first game, and then I promptly fell down a rabbit hole of fanfics. Needless to say, there's some really good ones for these three.

My thoughts:

Chaos trio (quite literally), I love them so much.

What makes me happy about them:

One thing I like about Amberpricefield, is that none of them are perfect. They're all deeply flawed in their own way individually and it's so interesting to see how that kind of influences their dynamic. Their relationship isn't perfect, because they're not perfect but that's what makes it so good. Because, at the end of the day, they're still awkward teenagers.

Any of the individual pairings involved here feels like a pretty realistic take on how a lot of relationships at this stage in a person's life would play out, which is honestly kind of refreshing.

What makes me sad about them:

Canonically, their relationship never had a chance (at least, as far as the game goes, because I've only recently learned about the comics and I haven't had the chance to check them out yet).

Rachel dies before she ever has the chance to meet Max, and if you chose to save Arcadia Bay at the end of the game? Chloe also dies. Depending on your choices, only one or two sides of the ship ever get the chance to thrive (and even then, one of them doesn't last).

Things done in fanfic that annoys me:

I haven't read any Amberpricefield fics in a while so I can't really remember much that might've annoyed me.

Things I look for in fanfic:

"Canon is dead, we shot it behind a Denny's."

Amberpricefield quite literally can't exist without some serious canon-fuckery. The storm doesn't happen, Rachel never died (whether that was Max's doing or not), Jefferson wasn't a complete psycho, etc...anything that means the three of them actually get a chance to at least meet.

As I've said before, hurt/comfort sustains me and all three of them need it, badly.

Also, while I don't actively look for them, I do enjoy the occasional "no powers" AU.

My Wishlist:

I remember there being a lot of canon-divergence fics for them, but it would be nice to see more fics exploring the aftermath.

Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

For me, Max is very shippable, but if I had to pick one? Kate. Marshfield, while not my favourite ship, is pretty cute and one I could see working out.

The other two are a bit harder because the first game kind of already established that they had something and my memory of the other games in the series is kind of hazy.

Probably Steph for both of them actually? I don't know, this one's kind of difficult.

My happily ever after for them:

As previously stated, canon never happened. They all meet, grow close. They get out of Arcadia Bay together and maybe travel a bit before settling down near a beach somewhere.

Love is Strange FanGame Thoughts

So I finally got around to playing the fan game Love is Strange. It's on itch.io and it's a romance visual novel in the Life is Strange universe. I haven't played it because I like the canon LiS timeline so much I often find myself disagreeing with a lot of fan fiction more than enjoying it just because it differs in some way to my own head canons. But I was really in the mood for a new visual novel and I saw it again and finally sat down and played it.

The story or stories rather have Max as the protagonist with either Chloe, Rachel, Kate or Victoria as romantic interests. It's set in a weird version of the LiS universe where the storm didn't happen, no one's got powers, and Jefferson is replaced with Mx. Dog (Hawtdawgman with Jefferson's hair and goatee) to keep it more wholesome. It really nailed the characters but it didn't feel like a Life is Strange story (in a good way). Like it felt standalone enough for me to enjoy it.

I only played one playthrough for each of the four romantic interests, so it might be different depending on other routes but for me:

Of the four routes I honestly think I liked the Victoria one the most, not only was it very new since she's not in the Amberpricefield trio, that I've gotten a lot of from the comics, fan art, and fan fics; but also it really didn't rush into anything. Like the game took place of the course of 5 days, and Vic's story felt slow where some of the others felt rushed.

Rachel's story I really just wanted more of Max and Rachel don't get to hang out at all without Chloe in really any of the LiS stories I've seen canon or otherwise and they had a good dynamic going.

Max and Chloe are always great. Their chemistry felt deserved and seeing them happy is always a delight. I don't have too much to say it just feel right seeing them together.

Kate's story was nice. She still had a bunch of the bad stuff leading up to the original game happen to her here (even if it wasn't stated as explicitly). I guess having Max hanging out with Kate outside of trying to console her for the bullying problems was something I didn't realize I was missing. There was still a bit of that but it was so much genuine than like a responsibility almost. Like they're friends and I enjoyed seeing that outside of the context of the hectic story Kate went through in the original games. It made her character feel more real (even if it wasn't technically canon).

Unrelated to this fangame I like seeing fan art of Kate hanging with Max and Chloe and getting to let loose. This wasn't as reckless as some of that fan art where she's being all punk rock with Chloe, it seemed more grounded and realistic.

But yeah overall I really enjoyed the game and even if it wasn't canon more Arcadia Bay is always welcome. <3

Hi, I have a few questions if you don’t mind. 1st: is before the storm a good prequel? I’ve heard there are inaccuracies and I’m not buying the game bc I don’t want to support deck 9 financially. I already watched a playthrough of the farewell dlc but I’m wondering if I should watch one for the whole game. Another thing: are the comics worth reading? I’m planning to play lis2 at some point and I’m pretty sure they have different narratives wrt Max and Chloe. And the last thing: what did you think of lis2 if you’ve played it?

BtS is… divisive among fans for a few reasons but I’d say it’s fine-ish as a prequel? Yes, there are some inaccuracies, like the timeline for David getting involved with Joyce, but it’s nothing super extreme. I will say that it feels like an Amberprice fanfic at times, in that it tries to be as ‘dark and adventurous’ as LiS, despite it just feeling weird that Chloe went through all of that and just like… never brought it up. It does get positive points for having Steph! Plus has some good Chloe characterization.

I personally have mixed feelings about the comics— I enjoyed them for the most part but they feel poorly planned out and, once again, have so much Amberprice that it pisses me off. While I wasn’t mad about it in BtS (as it was a prequel so completely made sense) it drives me insane in the comics. Rachel and Chloe’s relationship has all of its edges sanded off, Max and Chloe are separated for years (DE now makes me even madder about that) and the lengths they went through to make Amberpricefield not happen is like… insane.

But from what I understand the comics aren’t canon or at least I don’t think they are referenced? Not to my knowledge anyway.

They’re worth a read if you can get them cheap I guess. Just kinda keep your expectations low lol

As for LiS2; haven’t played and have no plan too. From what I’ve heard it suffers from the same kind of problems LiS had, namely that it felt badly planned and ill thought out, but the storyline never really interested me.

I have played True Colors though! Which you didn’t ask about but I do highly recommend!

[crimsonxe]

At this point they need to make a good will bridge to those that they stabbed in the back (and idgaf if you, no this isn't just from this post its from looking at your entire set of Pricefield posts hoping to get context to not be pissed off; but here we are). Especially with Michel of Dontnod aka the true canon makers in regards to Max and Chloe having stated that Pricefield would never break up; thus bringing Chloe back going to re-aligning the DE AU branch with the main canon.

"unforeseen reason", dumbass its called a connection, chemistry, and having gone through shit that fire-forges a bond. Also fuck off with this "losing Chloe leads to growth beyond the past"; reconnecting with Chloe can just as fucking easily deliver ACCEPTING the past, dealing with & healing from her trauma, and finally finding herself in the position of being ready to step forward WITH Chloe. It would be a matter of ACCEPTANCE & HEALING to move forward with the one that's always had her fucking back. The notion that she should just drop Chloe and "move on" is utterly fucking disgusting and very damn much biased, but I'll get to that. You clearly like Decknine don't have a damn clue about the characters, which is rich since in other posts of yours you try to frame Pricefielders as the ones wrong about them. Probably even defend the character assassination done to both Max and Chloe in DE. Hell your bitch ass just nonchalantly saying to kick a 10+ years old fucking iconic LGBT+ ship that has been said would NEVER break up by the true canon makers; that went through hell for each other including Max literally breaking time itself for Chloe; that has unmatched chemistry to the side says plenty about your very biased view.

No, its very much bias and if anything having Chloe there amps the potential storyline due to her & Chloe's relationship in this Decknine AU branch. Having Safi pulling on strings between Chloe and Max, that forces them to reconnect = great "villain" styling. While Safi is definitely better than Amanda (she at least has some damn sharp edge to her), she is NOTHING in comparison to Chloe.

Oh so your dumbass is fine with her being attached at the hip to Amanda/Vinh (the chemistry-less lipstick lesbian and the Nathan Prescott cleaned up preppy asshat); or Safi the seeming villain that at least does have some chemistry with Max just utterly lacking against Chloe. I also find it fucking hilarious how you literally throw open the door to all 3 of them, but won't offer a 4th option. But clearly your ass isn't biased, right?

This is pulling a later post into this which has to do how Pricefielders only focus on Chloe and take issue with DE cause of no Chloe vs. BtS that has her w/ Rachel. As someone that very much enjoys BtS, ships AmberPrice, Pricefield, and Amberpricefield (which the LiS multiverse thankfully allows all to exist) I can say that DE character assassinates the fuck out of Max and Chloe. I can also say that you're a fucking moron to think that LiS1 doesn't revolve around Pricefield and instead is about "violence against women"; that's an element within but isn't at the core of the damn game. I can say that Amanda (lipstick fucking lesbian) and Vinh (fucking Nathan cleaned up ass) are utterly fucking lacking, which makes the forced character assassination done to open the door for them that much fucking worse. Chloe wouldn't up and leave Max, because as of the halfway point of LiS Max had entered her walls and that locks her in, she also wouldn't make fucking threesome comments about a rando or other guy; Max wouldn't just give up on her relationship with Chloe, wouldn't be thirsting after every person, sure af wouldn't even in her journal use Rachel as a barb against Chloe, wouldn't be into a Nathan Prescott type, and several other details (punching Alderman, siding with Safi). That's not even going into outside of them details that DE utterly fucked up. Personally I'd want them to reveal that DE is just an AU branch within the multiverse by having its Max run across the actual main canon branch that has GREEN-haired Chloe and her Max living together happily as DontNod set up for Bae route people in LiS2; while also repairing her own relationship with her Chloe leading to a choice in the end. Unlike you I'd even say that in that choice there'd be 5 options: Vinh, Amanda, Safi, Chloe, and alone.

Clearly your ass is in the minority camp of things, especially considering the disdain towards DE that goes beyond just Pricefield. Hopefully the shake up in regards to the creative team brings in people that actually know the characters to try to fix the garbage fire that DE is currently. I'd beg them to bring in Emma Vieceli that handled the comics, which did everything DE attempted to do BETTER and before it; including respecting DontNod and their damn canon.

this is probably going to be EXTREMELY controversial so i dont expect ANYONE to agree (please dont hate me 🙏🙏🙏‼️‼️‼️) but i REALLY DONT WNAT CHLOE BACK IN DE2. I HAVE REASONS!!!!!!!!

1. i think that it'll be viewed as a cash grab and like pricefield / chloe fans r never happy sooooo

2. if chloe and max were to get back together for some unforeseen reason i think that woukd ruin max's potential growth in de2 in my opinion. like i PERSONALLY think that her 'losing' chloe should help her move on from the past and should be portrayed as something that can help her move forward instead of dwelling on what could have been (as taylor swift once said, everything you lose is a step you take 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️)

3. i think she'd be so out of place and id rather have de2 focus on max and safi's relationship and this highkey sounds lkke bias because of my fixation but i PROMISE YOU its not.. mostly...

4. i think that max should grow by herself i really dont think she needs to be attached to chloe by the fucking hip.. like i would be so fucking ecstatic if you got to be with amanda/vinh/safi at the end of de2 but i think the most realistic ending would be for her to be by herself, not FOREVER, but for a good amount of time for her to be secure with being by herself because i personally think max is extremely codependent with chloe.. if .. that makes sense

[bulletbilltime]

Replaying Life is Strange in celebration of this week being Day For Day a match to the original game's 5 episodes. Losing my shit when I see the blorbos on the screen for the first time in forever. All is well with the world

june 7/8/9th: max caulfield+chloe price+rachel amber -  ⚢ wlw ⚢

triple threat babey..........

[elderdragonblu]

I think it would be so fucking funny if there was an a story that went:

Max: I literal just walked into a classroom with my friends one day and saw these two stupid ass chicks trying to steal the principal’s chair and immediately said “holy fucking shit, I’m in love.” Now we’re all fiancés, have an apartment together, own two cats, and have been together for five years. I don’t understand how I fucking got here OR how I got seduced by two morons, but it fucking worked. Anyways, nothing’s impossible live your dreams.

[your-mind-is-a-stream-of-colors]

Another head canon I’m on a roll today: Victoria and Max takes candid shots of each other(or whoever you perfer them with). Max puts it up on her wall without telling Victoria(or once again whoever you ship her with) and Victoria hides it but has a very clear folder labeled Max(or whoever)

Chasefield | priceChase | pricefield

Victoria takes pictures of things like Max fiddling with her camera while Max takes pictures like Victoria focusing on her homework.

Victoria/Max take pictures of Chloe when she’s just chilling on her bed and no you cannot change my mind. 

Marshfield | chasemarsh

Victoria takes pictures of Kate smiling playing with her bunny or laughing with her friends because “just look at her smile you idiot.”

 Max takes pictures of Kate doing things like playing her voiln or roller skating(I just get the vibe that no matter who Kates with she rollerskates with them no I will not comment further)

Amber field | chase Amber

Max/Victoria will try to take pictures of Rachel but she’ll just instantly know what’s going on and start posing and Max/Victoria just goes along with it

Dana x Max

Max takes pictures of Dana while she’s focusing on a sports game or cheerleading

Taylor x Victoria

Victoria takes pictures of Taylor doing things like positioning pens properly and organizing her stuff.

Garhamfield 

Max takes pictures of Warren in “science mode”

Just more dumb thoughts about a five year old game
