CO09 THE FLIPSIDE BINGO

Somebody remind me of this

[skittlespizza]

"why can't you just be fucking nice. why does everything need tov be sarcastic with you, why do you have to hurt me, nicole? cant you just fucking listen to me? i thought you were my fucking friend. my dad is fucking hurting me and all you can do is make jokes and laugh!" jecka

vs.

"every situation ive been in is a joke because if i think about it deeper I'll want to kill myself again. i can't love or care for anyone because i was never loved or cared for. why does she want me to love her, to care about her? does she love and care about me? she can't, surely." nicole

no longer in highschool, jecka's leaving for college soon,, THIS IS WHAT THE FLIPSIDE COULD'VE EXPLORED

[roxy4ever]

The Hatman is the best character in the game and I wish he appeared more than once

What if Class of 09 Flipside was made by a Woman?

I liked Class of 09. I liked it's snappy dialogue, I liked it's social commentary of high school and women's experiences with creepy men and adulthood, I liked how it gave such a compelling main character where you know she's awful yet acknowledge that she has her reasons without justification. I like Class of 09, both the original and re-up. What I don't like though, is Class of 09: The Flipside.

Setting my personal disgust with the feet routes and the 'Palestinian slave trade' comment aside, the writing in Flipside just is completely different from the last 2. Instead of focusing on the biting social commentary of the woman experience, it instead prioritizes shock value with only some form of substance (e.g, jecka seeing nicole's suicide, jeffrey's death, the ending messages apart from the creator) And you know what else sucks? We never actually got to explore Jecka properly of who she is as a character, her relationships with her family, friends, former friends...Sure, we get doses of her life like her dad which does do what the game promised: Change how we saw the Class of 09 story before. We now understand why Jecka was terrified of the cop's yelling, not only because an powerful authority abusing his power but also experienced it before. See, this was the stuff I expected from Flipside. This was what the game should've prioritised in. Instead, it seemed like the creator would rather showcase his fetishes and spite people that don't like him or the game. From that there on, I keep thinking to myself: 'you know, this game would've been better had a woman wrote this.' But can they?

I'm a woman experienced high school before, even tried to fit the class of 09 writing style on my characters in my own personal time. Given how a lot of class of 09 fans are disappointed with the new game and I want to get into writing publically, I figure that I be the one to rewrite Class of 09 The Flipside in hopes of re-capturing the essence of the first two games alongside the game's intentions itself. Even though it's still in development, I've already outlined the routes/endings so far for you all to get a peek:

Route 1/Ending 1 - Invasion of MySpace: The foot route will be replaced by Jecka taking and making videos/pictures in order to make money after being fired from her job. Think of it like a late 2000s or early 2010s version of OnlyFans. This would help remain the social commentaries of men’s creepy behaviour to women alongside how their safety is affected. There’ll be an option of whether to go to the creepy man’s house or go home. If she goes home, she finds Nicole giving her dad a handjob with a dead expression. It ends with Jecka killing herself and implies that Nicole followed her too (not half naked though, just in regular clothes cuz I'm not a freak unlike someone)

Ending 2 - MurderSpace: If Jecka chose to go to the creepy man’s home, she gets murdered and placed like a doll in the man’s basement. 

Route 2/Ending 6 - Breaking the Wounded Heart: Jecka finds herself to work with Karen and Ari at Dominos. Overtime, they start to form a bond and Jecka herself starts to mature and finds Nicole to be unbearable. Jecka finally breaks off her friendship with Nicole and cuts forward to the future where Jecka currently lives a peaceful yet boring life, reflecting on the past with Nicole, wondering if she’s really better off without Nicole because while she’s now in a stable life without the chaos, it's the chaos that entertained her: Nicole entertained her. And now it’s all gone. But in the end, it suggests that things are much better with Nicole gone as it cuts to a phone beeping and Jecka looking down at it with a smile while Ari is by her side. Yes, this is the route where Jeckari is canon. I know this sounds too sweet for Class of 09 but I want it to still match the vibe with it being less shocking but more real in a way. Something too realistically depressing but still mundane. This is what I planned to be the saddest but best outcome of the game. The most real I should say. 

Ending 5 - Was it all worth it?: If Jecka chooses Nicole over her new friends, it ends with her and Nicole being homeless smoking drugs in an abandoned forest with Jecka reflecting on whether or not she made a good choice with Nicole before commenting on needing a Xanax to distract her from the regret and pain. 

Route 3/Ending 3 - Fuck Men!: Jecka gets into a relationship with a presumably kind-hearted gentleman. Nicole tries to warn her but Jecka won’t listen. She then is coerced by the man into doing sexual favours for his economic gain, making her become a sex trafficked victim.

Route 4/Ending 4 - Drunk Drive Delivery: Same route where Ari dies but instead the ending changed to Jecka being arrested for 6 months where the ending monologue would showcase her conflicted in anger and regret. Plus, it plays more to the idea of Jecka ‘dying at 21’ logic with being forced to work: adult party culture: that kind of thing. 

I'd be happy to hear any feedback or/and ideas for this rewrite.

Something about Jeckole

As completely and utterly bullshit as Class of 09: The Flipside was (or should I say the feetside) me and my buddy @/lightyagamiscorset (or Smile) are still thinking about one scene that was probably the singular good depiction of Jeckole's relationship in the game and actually sums up their dynamic as a whole.

Jecka: Sorry... it's just--

Nicole: Are you fucking kidding me!?

Jecka: You said it wasn't an ultimatum!

Nicole: I'm still allowed to be mad!

Jecka: I can't screw up my life over a Marilyn Manson concert.

Nicole: If it was Ryan Shackler you'd go.

Jecka: That's different and you know it.

Nicole: But what am I supposed to do with all this now?

Jecka: All what?

Nicole: Tickets and Ecstacy?

Jecka: You can't find someone else to go with you?

Nicole: Not really, unless it's some guy.

Jecka: Well make some regular friends.

Nicole: I don't know how to make friends! I don't even know how to talk to you.

Jecka: Ugh, can't you just scalp the tickets then!?

Nicole: I'm not some 50 year old Italian Guy, I don't know how to do that either!

Jecka: Look...

Nicole: Look what?!

Jecka: ...I don't think you should need me this much...

This whole conversation just emphasizes Jeckole's codependency. And there's so many ways for that one line to be interpreted, all of which equally debilitating in themselves.

"I don't think you should need me this much." -- You're stronger than you think, why do you need me?

"I don't think you should need me this much." -- you're getting too close to me. Stop. Go away.

"I don't think you should need me this much" you're getting too close to me, are you okay?

"I don't think you should need me this much." You're already so "good." Get away from me, you apparently don't need me.

"I don't think you should need me this much." I need time alone.

"I don't think you should need me this much." Why do you need me? I don't think you SHOULD. You shouldn't. You're not supposed to. You can't.

"I don't think you should need me this much." Get away from me.

"I don't think you should need me this much." please stop--what are you doing? I'm worried about you.

Just, holy crap. Me and Smile plan on doing a rewrite of the game, and if anything from the original is gonna make it in, it's that one line. It's a miracle a line like that managed to get into the dumpster fire of the sorry excuse of a game that Flipside was.

i'm not an expert on 2000s fashion but i think people confuse jecka's preppy style with this trashy y2k tiktok style, everyone has their own version of the character, but it seems strange to me when the characters' aesthetics are portrayed in a more tiktok-ified way than the late 2000s reality of what fashion was like... yikes, wth they were wearing??

considering that it is a highschool, there would be a dress code, in most of her outfits she only wears skinny jeans and shorts. also, when nicole and jecka use the coach's bribe money, she wears this dress and it's huhhh 😭😭😭

i think jecka would wear something like that, it was a weird time bc it was late 2000s to early 2010s

plus, these shirts skfnkdkd

i feel like people tend to draw her in a more trashy way, i don't think she wears that many accessories like borderline emo scene, also, i've seen people draw her as a gyaru, okay?? its a cute headcanon but it was the US in 2009, jecka would know what a gyaru is?? i guess people often confuse trashy with gyaru??😿

I'm sorry, it gives me a little ick when a piece of media is realistic and the fandom tiktokifies it to the max.

anyway, this isn't an attack or targetted, i was just thinking about this a while ago.

class of 09 flipside ending rewrites cuz i only liked two of them

jecka loses popularity ending- jecka rekindles her friendship with karen, causing her to slowly lose nicole and her status as a popular girl. she misses that deeply, but shes somewhat relieved to have an actual friend.

car crash ending- its the same as the one in the game but jeckas traumatized and actually feels bad. she goes to jail for around 2 years.

nicole sui ending- also the same (easily the best written ending in the game)

moving out ending- jecka is tired of her fathers shit and moves out earlier than planned. she says goodbye to her friends and blocks her dad.

jeckole ending- similar to the aricole ending in reup but jecka stays with nicole and its slightly less toxic

od ending- jecka ods cuz her depression gets worse day by day. her work is miserable. her boss sees her as an object. her dad exists. she cant take it anymore,

CLASS OF 09: THE FLIPSIDE PREVIEW!!

[percydoodless]

You an anti in the class of 09 Fandom? Aren't you the group that believes everything is secretly pro pedo propaganda if you squint hard enough? I'm going to assume that because you like class of 09, you must support selling cocaine to get thru high school and high school girls selling sexual photos of themselves on the internet. I know nothing about you, but you like this game. So surely your taste in fiction affects how you interact with reality, right? I'm a 'proshipper' and yknow, I didn't become rife with little kids to put my grubby hands on the second I realized that term fit me. Live and let live. If I read a fanfic of something immoral, like siblings getting it in or w/e, yknow how many people are hurt as a result? None. Someone thought up a scenario and put it into words. It is a made up thing and is not sufficient info to tell you anything about that person outside their taste in fiction. For all the class of 09 content you've consumed you must tell me of the next time you are compelled to sell cocaine on street corners in poor neighborhoods to cheat in your classes, since an individuals taste in fiction is enough to change who they are as a person.

You seem miserable. This mindset is going to continue to alienate you and I hope you find your way out of it.

Nicole would call you a chronically online pedophile loser, bro.

[imqueerandadeer]

somthing that genuinely makes me crazy is people are saying "ugh Nicole was so bitchy in the Flipside" hey so It's almost like she's not a good person at all and since we're seeing it from a different perspective than her own she is no longer likeable because it's from someone else's point of veiw. although I will give you that the fetish content was weird but this also isn’t the first time fetish content has been brought up in these games although it was never to the volume we see in flipside (or so I've heard, I haven't watched gameplay yet) so I can understand why people would be weirded out by it

[hermitpurple1997]

flipside isnt really funny its just terrifying
