COLE YOU BITCH

L.A NOIRE SPOILERS

WDYMM U ACTUALLY CHEATED ON UR WIFE

DUDE YOU UAVE A FAMILY WHAT THE FUCJKKK

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BOYS, WHY DID THEY EVEN ADD THAT AARRGHGHH

How am I supposed to cheer him on when he cheated on his wife WHILE HE HAS TWO KIDS SIGHHHHHHHH

[la-hoire]

Where do you sit in the camp of 'Roy was being somewhat genuine at Cole's funeral' camp? Because damn I just finished the game and I refuse to believe the man is THAT much of a good actor he'd slip in a voice crack lmao

(Props to Adam J Harrington for it though)

Tbfh I feel like Adam J Harrington accidentally made that noise after saying that whole speech and Team Bondi just went with it because that was probably their best take lmfao

But just looking at Roy, I think to an extent he felt a little bad about how this whole thing ended because I’m sure he did think Cole was a good detective and had potential. Plus that whole affair with Elsa and watching Cole act more and more like a dick probably made Roy think Cole would end up just being another dirty cop like him down the road, meaning they’d probably be besties.

Also Roy strikes me as the type of person who will do the least amount of work as long as he can get away with it so even if Monroe sent him, how would anyone even check if he really did his job? Homeboy could’ve just gone to the Blue Room and grabbed a drink and be paid for it (or not gone at all) but he still chose to actually warn Cole. If he wanted him dead, he could’ve just not said anything and nobody would know.

At the very least, I genuinely think Roy felt that Cole’s death was a waste and wasn’t something he necessarily wanted to happen but also wouldn’t go out of his way to prevent.

(Plus I think Roy was a good cop at one point but just got fucked up the longer he worked in Vice and saw how corrupt the LAPD was so maybe that was the decent part left in him actually feeling grief idk)

not to talk about a decades old game that has aged with some controversy but like LA Noire

and specifically homocide where, maybe im overthinking this, maybe it was an accident- but the game presents you with a choice of who to arrest (which is tldr the guy who probably did it, or the guy who probably didn’t do it but is also a far bigger hazard to society)

and it’s like? Do you do the right thing and arrest the guilty guy, sure-

and this is where storytelling and game mechanics merge because-

because if you do the right thing and don’t frame a probably innocent (of this) man you’ll get capped at a 3 out of 5 star rating (becuase your boss doesn’t really care about the guilt he j ust wants the one guy arrested, he just wants cases closed and things to look good. He doesn’t want doubt. Feel like there’s a commentary being made there if you squint /s)

and I knew this right. And I stood there, for ages, getting AFK dialgoues as I wondered whether it was better to fuck over my rating or to do the right thing. I even pressed the “ask your partner for help” prompt out of curiosity- and do you know what it said? It told me to do the right thing that penalises you. If you dither, if you go “shudl i do the right thing?” the game says “yes” and then it says “fuck you”

anyway I just think that’s really neat. LIke sure you could play it really emotionally unattached where you just care about statistics and achievements- but also isn’t that the point? That you care more about your job, about looking good than actually helping? idk just a very cool thing that came up there

but as i said, maybe im overthinking, maybe it’s an accident. but that was a very interesting moment of metagaming (if im using the term right)

gonna do the same shit there Ira Hogeboom did in Okinawa

[geekgirles]

As I always say, I haven't played Waven, so I don't know how far in you gotta be to have these quests, but I'm getting really peeved seeing you get to interact with Pinpin, Pin, Eva, Ruel, Elaine and Encre Noir, and even Lotie, while Yugo and Amalia remain nowhere to be seen.

I'm warning you, Ankama, if anything happens to them in The Great Wave or you break them up, next time I see you it's on sight.

Damn. There are series and games I love. But the plot... When some of the characters have their terrible fate sealed, so randomly...

Spoilers for Banana Fish and LA Noire ahead...

Like, whenever they kill the guys seeking a form of redemption, goddamn, I hate these... And yet those are great stories. But do I want to rewatch or replay these ?! Nah. Or if anything, I'll stop before the actual end I think.

Ash Lynx, Cole Phelps. Squished by fate like little flies. RIP. The first one definitely hurted more somehow. Good kid at heart. Cole ? Yeah, he seems antipathic a lot of the times, but you can tell that he's tired of stupid honors. I've read comments saying his cheating doesn't make sense but oh boy... Would you talk to your wife about the shock of seeing your mate's exploded body ? Burned screaming civilians ? Yeah, no. But the traumatic past is clearly something shared with Elsa. Anyway...

For both, I have to say I'm not a fan of not giving them the peace of mind they deserved after having tortured lives.

If there's a graveyard for fictional characters, well let them actually rest in peace.

Well developed stories but GODDAMN. Authors, who hurted you ?

a song that reminds you of L.A. noire

reply with the name/link of a song that reminds you of L.A. noire. and if you can, add a reason on “how” and “why” it reminds you of L.A. noire.

mine is; Deep Song by Billie Holiday.

the lyrics “Lonely grief is hounding me. Like the lonely shadow hounding me. It's always there, just out of sight. Like a frightening dream on a lightening night” reminded me of Cole Phelps and his past (during his time in the war). in many scenes, we see and hear Cole doing his best to avoid talking about topics like the war. Every time he gets reminded of the past, he definitely gets PTSD. Which is also why he avoids topics of the war.

Spoilers;

“Lonely wind cries out my name” made me thought of Cole after his affair with Elsa. Ever since that incident, his life instantly flipped over. His fans became haters, haters became more filled with hateful emotions. Lonely wind = haters + Elsa + Jack.

LT Doodle Stream Recap/Questions!

(Part 1/Part 2)

Hello everyone! Wisteriasymphony here. Yesterday the LT hivemind had the wonderful experience of our first doodle stream together!

For the purposes of cataloging all of the questions we answered on our stream (because somebody doesn't know how streaming works yet *COUGH COUGH*), I'm going to be answering them all here!

La Terreur takes place in 2002, and the events of the timeline last about a year. Of course, it's a retrofuturistic cyberpunk-y 2002, which explains later developments like the alliance ring and so on.

They're the same au! Miracle Exposure has just been a tag Silu has used to categorize talking about the effects of the miraculous, but it all happens within LT.

Hawkmoth is already a pretty solid design as is. Shadowmoth and Monarch will probably get overhauls later on, but why fix what isn't broken? Hawkmoth is already just the right amount of gross and creepy and fancy and bald, so no need to revamp that.

The consensus to far is that Felix arrived before the quarantine was instated, but he could easily have bribed officials into letting him into Paris if he needed to. The quarantine is mostly to keep people in, and if some idiot with a death wish high-paying member of the british aristocracy is willing to give money to a dying city just for a ticket in, then why wouldn't they let him?

@gaussiansphere put it quite nicely in the stream when he said that the heroes aren't trapped in Paris physically, but mentally. There's nothing theoretically stopping Ladybug from blowing a hole in the defenses of Paris and going on the run, but she has a moral obligation to protect her city. Everyone else feels roughly the same way, though we did discuss the idea of having the concept of migration fit Max better by virtue of his big goals in life involving getting out of Paris.

Also, the miraculous will likely be passed out differently. We're not following exact episodes, only storylines.

On a similar note....

Ladybug will probably alternate who she gives all of the minor miraculous to multiple times over the course of the story. She would find it ridiculous to pass them out to people "for keeps", as @sillysiluriforme put it, and before a certain point in the story will favor adult holders over teen holders. (Not saying why this changes though heehee, spoilers.)

MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!!!!!!!! Los ships no son un foco de La Terreur, pero.. Adrigaminette 100% mejor del mundo JAJAJAJA XP. de lo contrario es lo mismo que el canon.

Opinions de los kwamis hacia sus portadores es q los ven como niños. Son indiferentes a la humanidad en realidad. Los kwamis también los vicios q usan sus portadores para obtener. (Adrien huele a tabaco Y queso apestoso :/ Marinette no se afectada porque Tikki quiere el sabores dulces en su vaporizador).

#wispanol arc hehe. also YES you saw that right English audience, the kwamis are smokers. Marinette has to ask Luka's bandmates for vapes because the closest bodega to her house is run by a sweet Chinese grandma who her mom likes talking to, so if she bought from there she'd be absolutely screwed. Adrien just buys all of the tobacco as Chat, though.

We're not planning on having Aspik show up in LT, at least as far as we have planned. If he did, however, his rat eating desire would definitely go through the roof. He'd probably try and time his rat-eating specifically for when he's Chat Noir, just to make things easier for himself. (Until he eats one as Adrien by accident and has to live with the mental baggage for the rest of his miserable little life...)

Well.. there are a lot of characters that really don't need redesigns! Or where redesigns would be extremely minimal. Marinette's dad only really needs to get proportional legs and then that's it, and the same philosophy extends to most of the other minor characters.

Here are some of @clemnoir's designs for the rest of the class, though!

In fact, her lovely annotations somewhat answer another question we received....

We haven't figured out everyone yet, but the scholarships group so far is: Kim, Max, Ivan, Rose, Nathaniel, and Mylene. Adrien, Chloe, Sabrina, Alix, and Marinette are all paid tuition.

There could be! The ancient miraculous are indeed destroyed, much like the infinite amount of others like them, Bearinette and Lambdrien are just explorations of what it would be like if they hadn't been. The bear and lamb miraculous are not canon to LT, nor would any future ancients be. If we get any good ideas, you'll see them.

[wis is biting all of her fingers to prevent herself from talking about the coyote....]

The big issue Marinette has with being Multimouse is that she's no longer respected as the leader, at least as much as she's used to. Because she sees Ladybug as more of a responsibility than fun superpowers, her side effects are more psychological by consequence, whereas Adrien's are more physical. She also feels some sense of jealousy towards Scarabella, as well as general insecurity over not being the leader when she's Multimouse... but despite this she continues to use the Mouse Miraculous more often than in canon just for the sake of "training" Alya.

Silu dice muchas gracias!!!!! ...No conocen sus identidades fsgdss. Exposición al milagros del raton causa disocociación, duplicación no literal para Marinette jajaj. (Pero, no puedo decir si dos Marinettes aparecen en LT..... tal vez, tal vez no? huummmm)

Tambien, ellos comiendo ratones en privado. Nadie los trae en su almuerzo. Todos ellos tratan con sus síntomas en secreto.

Violence and misery and horror and class dynamics. I'll get into it more in Part 2, but characters' relationships to power is a huge part of this AU, both of the magical and non-magical variety.

[cadeloverforever]

Don't take the song into account xD, hello! I come with a headcanon and one shot? From black noir ll since chapter 7 left me 😦 There may be SPOILERS! (Although most likely yes :v, I don't know) (The reader is going to be human and the black noir will know about the romance with the original black noir by Vought or something like that)

╭═══════════ .❥. ═════════════╮

BLACK NOIR ll AND A LITTLE OF THE ORIGINAL BLACK NOIR HEADCANON

➹ We talked about how you started to suspect that the Noir you were sleeping with wasn't YOUR Noir.

What made you suspicious is that the first time you saw him after he was gone for a few days without explanation you hugged him, But he looked like he was confused, you didn't see his notebook where he wrote what he wanted to say.

"Earving? What's wrong? Did you lose your notebook?". After those words you looked at him a little worried and the "response" you received from him was a quick nod of the head.

➹ The other time he suspected you a little more was when he brought peanut chocolate, You knew he was allergic to it which seemed strange to you but you thought he just didn't read the label correctly and you just gave it to someone else.

➹ It seemed strange to see Noir still for a long time (he was asleep since Noir II is narcoleptic) and when you tried to talk to him he simply didn't respond, You could be asking him for his opinion on something and have the same situation.

"Hey? I was asking you something, are you feeling okay? Do you always do that lately" you said moving him a little, you watched him startle and just quickly shake his head.

➹ The day they told you that Noir wasn't him was when you brought him a beaver stuffed animal for your anniversary together, Noir didn't accept it and then cursed.

"I can't keep doing this shit, and before you say anything, I'm not the real Noir I don't know what happened to him, they just hired me to try to be him (I don't remember if the person who plays Noir knows what happened to Noir but we assume he doesn't) After that 'Noir' left, you were left wondering what happened to him, if he was still alive or if he just escaped... Without you
