#and Cathy’s relationship with Heath and their interactions were so fun to watch

[pvlvsdog]

OH i just saw the post where you love WH, im literally the same, i had to study it as a mandatory reading and hareton heathcliff and arguably cathy first gen just became my lit crush, and i discovered the game haha… i haven’t done his canto tho :/ delaying it cuz of the rumours its not.. that great

Oh my!! I could yap about it for hours mate, ngl if you like wanna, I’m open to chatting about it (over discord or asks here or tumblr messages to the last ones tend to lowkey glitch for me hhh). Also you are so so real for the lit crush part. These ppl are unwell, but oh Gods, are they crush material hhhh

Im probably going over to my bfs after work today so I miiiight finish it and reblog it with (spoiler-free) feedback on how badly the things went. But like yeah, so far I’m kinda disappointed. Sure, I’m not saying they got to adapt everything one for one (like how in metamorphosis Gregor being a veteran is not that big of a plotline but they amplified it in the game to fit the setting better; in the end it worked out in their favour bc that helped them rely the themes of the book/character better while the story got to be more in line with the overall world they are building) bc I’m happy with 1970 WH as my perfect adaptation (as a Hindley and Frances enjoyer I gotta favour that movie hhhh they fed me GOOD). But even besides that. It’s like… so far they don’t seem fully committed to portraying the relationship between Heath and Cathy in the way they should. Like, it seems more shallow. The way that mr Earnshaw is written also leaves a lot to be desired because I think his treatment of all 3 kids could have been explored and it would add to what they were trying to do. But I’ve nearly finished the canto and there was not even a single sentence that would get into how he started the cycle that consumed the generations to come. It’s not a gripe that I have only bc it takes away from Hindley’s motivations (that too, but I didn’t start the canto expecting them to give him much, so honestly the bar was so low that I’m pretty happy with what I got), it genuinely would make the themes they attempted to use make more sense. I’m trying super hard not to spoil you but yeah, both when it comes to following the BARE MINIMUM of the essence of the story and making sinners make sense the story falls flat. Don’t get me wrong, I love the setting and the vibes, but it feels like they genuinely regretted that they picked WH as a character source and tried to write their story they wanted working against the provided text, not aiding their writing with it

Also you probably saw but personally, my absolute fave is Hindley. I can acknowledge his actions. I can also own up to being unwell about that man. Full on literature crush, kicking my feet, twirling my hair. Also I designed limbus!Frances bc she deserved a mention (I’m biased bc I love her and also she is literally me). There will be a post with her. Tho if you or anyone else wants to check out the extent of my focus on all the limbus WH characters, I got some content posted on godscomplex4 on insta hhhh lots of Heath. And Hindley and Frances. And my self insert hhhhh. Also I suppose if we’re talking about characters that had me giggling and underlining text in my book, Edgar somehow found his way into that category despite me fighting fiercely to shoo him away. It’s a bit ironic I’m more apprehensive about liking him than Hindley. But oh well. That confrontation scene had me a bit in shambles even if I don’t love his overall outlook on life as a person. He had his moments and I enjoyed them more than I would like to admit hhhh. Hindley stays as my beloved fictional wife tho
