it has been brought up before but. y'know the little details in tissue use that tell you something about a character. like whether they use the same one(s) until they are totally useless or if they pull a new one for each and every sneeze or blow. or if they use a handkerchief instead. just thinking about it.

We've not even got the casting for the biopics yet but I can already foretell that the iPhone face is gonna be so bad.

Like society has spent the last 40 years systematically breeding out the genes required to make a face like Ringo Starr's (a great tragedy and one of the major signs of the decline of Western civilisation in my opinion) so I think sadly we are beyond the point of getting actors that actually look like them. They're either gonna have to give up and get some twinks in or do some weird Bradly Cooper-esque prosthetics work and I don't know which one I'd prefer

Hey guys. Important message.

Do NOT tell ANYONE to kill themselves, regardless of anything. Plain and simple. I've seen a lot of this happening, especially to people who voted for Trump. Trump is a horrible, depraved monster of a person, and if you did vote for him, I will heavily question your morals and character, but that doesn't mean I get the moral high ground--or right--to tell you to end your life. Doing that is wrong and disgusting, pretty much in any situation and just because someone did something horrible does it mean you can tell them that they should kill themselves. Saying something like that about Trump, as in he should kill himself, I can understand, I have made such jokes, but I don't think I could be genuinely happy at the prospect anyone committing suicide. I can sorta see where people are coming from, because they're angry about it, just like the rest of us. Like yes, they did something awful, but wishing for the death of someone because they voted for someone else sounds kind of familiar.

Hate, but don't wish the death on. (Except trump)

this may be a weird-ish thing to ask but I was looking for some cool official art of Colette and stuff on here and found a post of yours with official-looking art, but it wasn’t the full image. do you have/can you find the full image of this? this is an entirely voluntary request you do not have to answer this ask!

Not weird to me :> This is that picture in its entirety!

And, I feel like I should make this a Coke master post while I'm at it! Because once I made an incomplete compilation for Fang and someone liked the fact that all the neat Fang pictures were in one spot.

So here you go! Colette may not be the focus in all of these, but she's in every one! I'm not completely sure if it's all of them though.

💝 Bonus:

A lil loop with her buying stuff!

Before we call anon rude because let’s see it from their perspective, imagine getting an entire feast to eat. That can be pretty hard to start with so much that’s going on, but if they start with one thing they know they’ll like (aka one character they like) that can be the start for them leaping to other characters to finish the story and the bigger story. I struggle the same way to start book series if I don’t have at least one character that drives me to read it, it’s all about what can be the hook to push them through. Sounds like the anon is neurodivergent (just a guess) so they might genuinely not see it as rude and see it as a solution to even play the game to start with.

Btw absolutely adore the game, the complex and rich characters making them all so unique is amazing. The art is so pleasing to the eyes I love it!! I’m waiting for it all to get out at once so I don’t get too impatient. Shae however interests me the most, which routes will have the most lore for them? Will there be routes that give more lore in general based on decisions you make or do they all share the same amount? (I mean general lore not just Shae lore)

Apologies; we are not trying to accuse any asker of being rude! We are simply explaining our perspective as the developers / are trying to broadly encourage folks to dip their toes into other areas of the story outside of the main route(s) they're interested in, especially considering some routes will be made available sooner than others, and these other routes will likely contain additional scenes/lore of everyone's fave(s) regardless! We want to give each main cast member an equal amount of love (and lore) regardless of their overall popularity, so our goal is not to tut-tut anyone for having strong preferences for one character over the others, but rather to explain that you may be surprised by how much *more* you learn about your preferred characters in the other routes. That's all!

For Shae... Well, they were a foot soldier for one of the worst periods of the War. Lore wise, any other story that touches on the War will likely have content relevant to them and their experiences. ^^

tbh i'd probably read a lot of x reader fics if it weren't for the fact that most of them mischaracterize the character involved

talking to my younger brother about the way my parents may or may not treat me differently from him and our other brother, in terms of like. when I say shit about politics, or am complaining about stuff at work, and they tell me to chill. I just think that my parents and my one brother to a lesser degree, just find me fucking annoying lol

I'm going to preface this by saying: if you aren't ready to regulate after what just happened with the election, keep scrolling! You don't have to rush your horror at what happened and immediately get back up and at em if you truly aren't ready. But if you find yourself falling into doomerism and your emotions AREN'T temporary mourning (or you're ready to hear something other than doomerism), maybe this post is for you.

---

If you think this election means we're "past the point of no return", you haven't faced a lot of failure in your life, have you? You haven't read a lot of history about social movements and revolutions, have you?

Do you think we just started working for this election alone and now that it's over...the buzzer has sounded and the game's over? I know that's a minimizing comparison, but really, what other situation do you know of in real life where if the outcome you didn't want occurs, it's over, no coming back, can't fight against it?

Was there 'no coming back' for Germany after the Nazis took power? Was there 'no coming back' from the Trans-Atlantic slave trade? Did the oppressed and their allies just say 'well, we tried to make the slave trade illegal and it didn't work - how is everyone still working as abolitionists?? Do they not know how damning this is??' No. Well, probably some of them did, but the others - the ones who had been fighting before any sort of legislation was ever conceived, they took the hit but kept fighting.

Just because the fight is hard and you don't succeed every time you try something doesn't mean it's over. We just elected the first fucking trans woman to Congress! But because Trump won the presidency, that all of a sudden doesn't matter? You think you can just throw in the towel?

Grief and horror and dejection (yes, even plans to escape the country if you're part of the most affected groups) is 100% normal and good to feel. BUT never ever ever let that balance tilt to full-on doomerism that paralyzes you and makes you stop fighting forever. Take the time you need to process, but telling everyone that we're 'past the point of no return' is doing the work of the oppressors for them.

When I was getting my degree in criminal justice (criminology: law and society undergrad and full on CJ masters), I read enough history to understand that we're crawling up a mountain of shattered glass. Those before us bled to death crawling up that mountain so that their bodies could shield us and allow us to crawl up a bit farther before we start getting cut. Which allows us to crawl that much farther and lay down ours so those after us can be protected from the glass that cut us.

Is that inspiring to know that you're planting seeds in a garden you'll never get to see? Never knowing if those seeds will truly come to fruition despite the pain and horrors you faced? Nah, probably not. But the alternative? Giving up because you didn't get everything you wanted (and deserve as a baseline for being alive) in this one election - that doesn't mean it'll never happen. You know what's a guaranteed way to make sure it DOESN'T ever happen? Deciding we're past the point of no return and paralyzing yourself.

I'm not suggesting we wait till next election and try to get them then. I've been working outside elections a long time - everyone who ever made a difference in the cultural landscape worked outside elections. Maybe it's time you started, too.

You'll face a hell of a lot more failure than just one big blow every 4 years, but if you get back up after each failure and keep at it, you WILL make a difference.
