(about your thing with relating to shifty)

im more upset that she uses the vessels against LQ while also dismissing them as important viewpoints and perspectives. in my eyes she is just cherrypicking the parts of those lives that she finds meaningful while ignoring how they were real people that had fears and lives.

and yeah a little bit of taking them from their happy endings to be combined into something they never asked for.. she says they are gifts from lq but its not like he ever chose to give them to her.

(i know you said youre okay to debate but im honestly Terrible at it and i just wanted to share my view because i do have my reasons for preferring the princess(es) over shifty)

Ok. Sorry it took me a day to respond. I’ve been putting my thoughts together on this before i write back

a) not gonna argue there. shifty is manipulative and uses the experiences that she's had with us to try to convince, guiltrip, strong-arm, or really use any form of persuasion to get us to leave with her.

HOWEVER. I do not think that she as a whole ignores that they were real people that had fears and lives. Vessels, hearts, eulogies- shifty speaks to us of the identity of each and every princess as she cradles them in her embrace. She is not ignoring 'their' experiences because they are hers as well, because each and every one of those princesses is her, even if they functioned independently for a time. She does ask the Long Quiet to ignore these, but I don't view this as casting aside the aspects of herself less interesting or useful to her, but trying to convince the Long Quiet to look away from these contradictions, and to stay focused on the more compelling cases for escaping together.

So yes. she's a bit of a sophist. but she doesn't ignore the princesses, just ask the long quiet to

b) i mean… i have a lot of thoughts on this. They were always a part of her, they always were her, they just didn’t know it yet. I think all of them were searching for her, they just didn’t know that’s what it was they were searching for. The most aware of this is the spectre- she senses the longing within her, and realizes that she can’t quite explain what it is or why, just that she needs to be somewhere, rather than try to label it as something else, like the other princesses do. At their core, though, all of the princesses know that they need something, and that the slayer is the gateway to it.

Also…happy ending??? I know the game implies that they might have almost gotten this before being taken away, but let’s think about this for a second. There is no way out of that construct. There are only a hundred feet or so of woods and the cabin. What happy ending awaited them? The player and the princess don’t realize it at the time, but they’re not actually in the real world. They can’t reach the real world. They are trapped there until either a reset happens or they starve or kill each other or something along those lines. None of the princesses can actually escape without reuniting with shifty and rejoining the world. They’re just as trapped in the woods as they are in the cabin. If anything, shifty was actually rescuing them.

I had a straight up horror movie moment while playing Lethal Company last night. I would say it was scripted if it hadn't been impossible.

The scene: Friend and I get cornered inside the ship by a monster that hunts entirely by sound. It's standing just inches from our hiding spot and we are doing our best to not make any noise that would get picked up by the mic. I'm literally sitting with my hands over my mouth trying not to breathe.

Then, just as the monster was turning to leave....

My real-life cellphone next to me dings with a text from my mom

@Everyone saying Misha needs to get a job needs to shut up, because

A) it getting rude, even "if it's just a joke"

B) I need this to go on until he accidentally/intentionally interacts with a truly unhinged post and the Fandom losses what ever shred of sanity we are holding on to.

I have no idea where to dump my Mentalist whump prompts but here we are:

Jane who definitely has a penchant for abandoning people leaves Lisbon to chase a lead but it's weirdly cold and/or rainy and ends up being caught outside for an extended period of time.

Of course she yells at him when she returns soaking and he deflects with humour and that is that.

Until she comes in showing the first symptoms of illness.
