the beauty of life is strange

[arcadiabaytornado]

The way the Life Is Strange franchise portrays freedom is so, so, so, insane.

It's portrayed as the ultimate goal Chloe, Rachel, Karen, Sean, Steph, and possibly Alex strive for. Yet, it's also portrayed as a doomed ambition that you'll have to give up everything to reach.

Rachel loses her life in her search for freedom, and so does Chloe unless Max makes the ultimate payment of everything she and Chloe have ever held dear. Karen has to sacrifice her family to be free, and Steph has to sacrifice her bonds in Haven Springs. Alex has to sacrifice her dream of living a happy life in Haven with her brother to end up on the road, and Sean loses A: His life or B: His freedom or C: His brother or D: His safety in his pursuit of escaping into Mexico.

But despite what all is sacrificed, freedom is still portrayed as something beautiful. It's portrayed as Chloe and Max driving off into the sunset for more adventures. It's portrayed as Rachel and Chloe happily daydreaming about their future with no awareness of the horror yet to come. It's portrayed as Karen, Sean, and Daniel star-gazing and letting lanterns lose into the night sky. It's portrayed as Alex and Steph playing in a band in front of their adoring fans

But it's also portrayed as something destructive. It's the tornado that destroys a town so Chloe can leave. It's the wild fire that engulfs a town Rachel feels stuck in. It's the bullet wound that made Alex and/or Steph realize they didn't belong. It's the blood shed by a nine year old as Sean crosses over the border. It's the deep emotional scars Karen left behind when she up and left in the middle of the night.

Freedom is portrayed as this beautiful ultimate goal that ends up being a force of destruction in the lives of everyone who seeks it. It makes me think of this philosophical question: "Can you be truly free if you have something? And it makes me think of how the franchise answers "No. At least, you can't have everything." It's an interesting twist from how freedom is usually depicted in media, and the choice to make the downside of freedom destruction makes me brain go insane.

I know that all you guys followed me for cartoon fanarts... but I can’t stop thinking about Life is Strange so here’s a compilation of art I did in these last weeks.

Most of them are True Color related because it’s my favorite game so far!

Warren: Dumbest scar stories, go!

Max: I burned my tongue once drinking tea.

Victoria: I dropped a hair dryer on my leg once and burned it.

Steph: See this little scar on my arm? I got that when Alex dug her nails into my arm during a sad movie.

Rachel: I have a piece of graphite in my leg from accidentally stabbing myself with a pencil in the first grade.

Alex: I was taking a cup of noodles out of the microwave and spilled it on my hand, and I got a really bad burn.

Chloe: Well, I have a few scars on my arm from crashing my skateboard.

Kate:
