Lost 3.15 | Left Behind

[the-cat-at-the-theatre-door]

Once again I am thinking about the lyric parallels between Gus the Theatre Cat/Grizabella the Glamour Cat and Memory, not only in the comparison of how the other cats (namely Jellylorum) talk about Gus vs. how they talk about Grizabella, but more specifically how that one set of lyrics:

For he isn't the Cat that he was in his prime/Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time

I can smile at the old days/ I was beautiful then

Putting emphasis on the concept of *was* - as in no longer. As in these cats are trapped in a modern world that no longer has any use or affection for them, as it did once. Of...outliving their usefulness or their talent or (even more emphasized) the virality and attractiveness of their bodies (see how even affectionately Gus' physicality is commented upon as being a "shame" now, as is Grizabella's - less affectionately - considering what it was before), and struggling to adjust in a way that will never quite be possible for them. They are relics of old, they *realize* this even if they are aware of little else, and it's too late for adapting or catching up. They will long for their prime, but it will never be back in their grasp.

Important question, do more of the RE8 villagers survive in this version?

Yes, very much yes. I can't, at this time, guarantee any specific characters other than Elena (definitely) and Luiza (probably), and an undetermined number of unnamed villagers, but I definitely plan for some of the villagers to survive.

While the total wipe-out of the Village in RE8 is a lot more believable than other "total wipes" like Raccoon City or the Pueblo in RE4, as it seems significantly smaller than both RC or the Pueblo, and has a more intelligent breed of bioweapon under specific instruction to exterminate the Village, Resident Evil has a weird and kind of uncomfortable history with complete massacres over its long history that I'm always inclined to push against. It's lazy, uninteresting writing to me when it's a trope recycled so frequently... especially given it's very clearly mostly used to provide clean narrative "closure" between each game by eliminating any other survivors other than the main protagonists (and Wesker lol). Like... RE4, for example, functions as a contained narrative because the Pueblo dies at its end. Its function is over in the continued story of "Resident Evil"... it only matters going forth in the context of Leon, Ashley, and Ada as characters. But as a writer, I'm much more intrigued by a version of that story that involves other survivors. What would it mean to live through something like that, not as the hero outsider protagonist, but as a civilian? How do you even recover? Who would you be after?

The weight of the horror of the complete destruction of a place that's isolated to a single game becomes faded when it's the same shit in every game. I'm sick of it, and bored of it. It would hit harder if it wasn't every damn game... better to take it apart and try something new with its empty box.

When I went to fight Egil: Underleveled by about 12 or so. Died the first time because I ran out of time on destroying the three pillars (AIM GODDAMN IT-). Have to downgrade to Casual Mode like a pathetic loser to have a fighting chance against him.

When I went to fight Lorithia: Overlevelled by about 12 or so because of all that time spent mercy killing Telethias, getting Shulk and Reyn's skill trees, and searching for those damn Rainbow Slugs. Manage to wipe the floor with her on normal difficulty and barely pushing a button.

Also me when I went to fight Lorithia:

I had a successful layover in Atlanta but the airport must have sensed it and made the time I spent trapped there my own version of purgatory. I genuinely think I saw hell in Hartsfield-Jackson. and I bought the most generic sandwich you can imagine and it was $30

Hell is real and it's the Atlanta airport, but it's also the Phoenix airport too.
