#brainrot with me

Brainrot about the tiny details with me, Hacketteers.

Things I’m currently puzzling over:

How many kids go to this camp?

There are 10 cabins and we only see inside one, with Abi, if she and Emma break in to get their bags. It looks like there are four double bunks in there so each cabin would only sleep eight, subtract one for the supervising counselor and you get up to 70 campers.

But they act like they can all leave in one school bus. The maximum capacity of a school bus is 72 but that’s three small children (2nd grade or younger) to a seat, and I don’t think the kids are THAT young, given Abi’s comment about them having filthy minds.

Also, even if Laura and Max made it to camp, there would still only be 9 counselors for 10 cabins. When I went to summer camp, we definitely had one counselor supervising overnight per cabin. Do we think one cabin wasn’t used? That would be seem wasteful given that the camp is hurting for money.

Maybe they gave Nurse Kelly a cabin—it would make sense for her to stay onsite in case she was needed in the night, especially since it seems to be in a pretty remote location.

Where do they all shower and go to the bathroom?

There are showers and bathrooms in the pool house, and one bathroom in the public portion of the lodge, plus the “rustic” outhouses Emma shows us on the Island (no way those empty into the lake, btw. They almost certainly have like a septic tank type thing buried under them). That doesn’t seem like enough for that many people! My summer camp growing up had a whole building for bathrooms and showers but that is conspicuously absent unless it’s somehow in the same building as the Camp Store, which seems inconvenient.

Where is the Art Cabin?

Abi says the art cabin is out of the way when Nick talks about the kids paying attention to her painting lessons, but there are no cabins away from the main ones on the map, that I’ve noticed. Is one of the sleeping cabins actually used for art? Why doesn’t she just use the classroom in the lodge that we see strewn with craft paper?

Is there no adult staff at this camp other than Mr. H and Nurse Kelly?

Not asking for more characters in this already large cast, god knows, but it seems like there should be some kind of custodian/groundskeeper and kitchen staff, at least. Even if Mr. H does all the groundskeeping, there’s no way Nick can cook for all those people single-handedly and still have time to stalk his crush during her art lessons. But if there are actual adults on the cooking staff, why would they make an 18-20 year old guy their supervisor? Do you think the other counselors have to take turns cooking with him?

Who sleeps in the bunks in the lodge?

When Kaitlyn and Dylan are hiding from Caleb, they enter a room with bunk beds in the lodge. What’s that for? Just overflow? Seems like a good place for the additional staff that we never hear about to sleep. I imagine the counselors all sleeping there during their training/orientation before the kids arrive, though that’s never actually confirmed to happen in the game.

What do y’all think? What are your lingering questions about the locations or how the camp is run?

im tired but still brainrot about j7 version of that iconic 12/river scene so here goes:

"When you love Seven of Nine, it's like loving the stars themselves. You don't expect a sunset to admire you back. And if I happen to find myself in danger, let me tell you, Seven is not stupid enough, or sentimental enough, and she is certainly not in love enough to find herself standing in it with me!"

the scenario is maybe picard era j7 where janeway is captured by borg or some baddies and ranger seven is in disguise hiding among those baddies when janeway is making that speech and she made that speech because they already lost contact once seven decided to fuck off and join the rangers thus no one knows where the hell she was but the baddie didn't know that baddie just want to use janeway to capture seven

I think what’s so endearing about the counselor characters in this game is that everyone really is just trying their best. They’re all relatably flawed, they’re all masking some kind of insecurity or issue, but nobody’s intentions are really bad ever. Even the bullying Jacob receives seems like it’s done with the expectation that he’ll take it in stride because he projects so much confidence that surely he’s not going to let a little thing like a breakup bring him down. Because he’s hiding how incredibly soft he actually is. Only Emma seems to see that side of him (though maybe Kaitlyn has before because they’ve been friends for so long).

Regarding @voidaxolotl’s point about Dylan and the party, I maintain that them staying in the lodge would have been an even worse bloodbath due to its lack of structural integrity, so he’s not even technically at fault there. He can make two very bad suggestions to Kaitlyn (shoot werewolf Emma with silver shells, don’t go get silver shells from Abi) but otherwise he can only get himself killed by fumbling the blowtorch.

I wish we saw more of Kaitlyn’s motivations for a) even answering Jacob on how to sabotage the van in the first place and b) not bringing that up when it becomes clear that they need to gtfo. I feel like the fuel line vs rotor arm choice should have been more impactful there because if the van IS fixable it becomes more important to talk to Jacob about it than it would be if the van was just toast.

Possible plot holes aside though, I like that they all can and do fuck up. I’m older and theoretically wiser than any of them and I’d have fucked up everything in that situation. 😂

I think Jacob is my favorite character from The Quarry.

He first comes off as a self-centred jock who doesn’t respect a no from Emma, but it eventually becomes clear that his jock persona is performative and the reason why he keeps pursuing Emma is because she keeps flirting with him after they broke up despite knowing how infatuated he is with her and he’s too dumb to navigate the mixed signals.

When she finds him crying he doesn’t try to hide it, and if he gets infected he starts crying again, calling himself a “Stupid stupid boy! Summer is over! Summer is over and you’re nothing! She doesn’t want you! Nobody does! Nobody wants you!” and suddenly the beginning of the game where everybody are mocking him and brushing him off gets very upsetting.

Basically he’s a big dumb himbo who isn’t doing himself any favors in his desperate need for validation and human connections. I can’t get too upset at him for getting them all into this mess by breaking the car. He thought they’d just have to stay at the camp for one extra night, not get monster-mauled.

Maybe some day I won’t like the least popular character. Maybe.

I know that every batfam member would be able to survive the five nights at Freddy's Pizzeria, but I like to imagine they all go about it in different ways:

Bruce: figures out that there are souls haunting the animatronics and starts internally debating the ethics of (adopting) rehabilitating haunted and homicidal animatronics, on the basis that the souls are still children. Survives the five nights and plays by the rules, although his power level remains suspiciously high at the end of each night.

Dick: would have an absolutely joyful time spending five nights inside that cursed building as an adrenaline junkie. He's also weirdly gifted at excelling in obscure jobs such as a nightguard fighting for his life.

Jason: the second one of them moves, the building is going up in flames.

Tim: figures out how to jam the doors shut without them draining his power and uses that to his advantage to get work done, since he's already awake and doing nothing of importance.

Damian: convinces himself to guard by the rules without trying to sabotage the equipment and succeeds. Whenever an animatronic pops up at one of the windows, he starts insulting them. He also makes sure to insult them whenever he's done with his shift to assert dominance. Additionally, he nicknamed each of them after his brothers since they remind him of his everyday nuisances.

Barbara: being oracle has prepared her for this moment — quite literally child's play for her, so she multitasks between babysitting vigilantes and homicidal furry ghouls. (aren't they the same thing atp?)

Cass: she would manage to predict their movements and slip away to jumpscare them instead, running away before they manage to do any damage. Why stay inside the office when you can hassle the animatronics to hide in the office from you?

Steph: adrenaline junkie pt.2, although she would treat it like a 'let's play' and video call either Tim or Cass to share the experience with them — all they hear is her screaming, cursing and then laughing when they pop up.

Duke: unironically would also be hunting the animatronics from the shadows. He does it on the first night and they decide not to annoy him again for the rest of the week.

Edit: this is unironically being written by me, in the form of Nightwing becoming a night guard. will update with the link to the fic once i am done.

[poughkeepsies]

buck accidentally flirting with a man for an entire episode then being surprised when he gets kissed. proceeding to go on the entire next episode insisting he's an ally. accidentally coming out to his sister by dropping the wrong pronoun. accidentally coming out to everyone else by kissing his sooty boyfriend and coming into the room with evidence of the crime all over his face. every single step of this storyline has been the most in character it could possibly be.
