(Have been digging in some fics and more arts in the free time and... oh well there is much less with them all of what I would have liked to see or read. I mean Nightbeat and Skids look like a skittles disaster to draw can't blame no one ahah But overall there is so little of their possible dynamics)

I believe that there is a high likelihood that Alice survived episode 6.

...

Well okay, maybe "survived" isn't the right word, more like I believe that there is a high likelihood that Alice could come back from her death in episode 6.

Why do I think that? Well partly because she's one of my favorite characters and I want her to, but more prominently because she's come back from the dead before (if my theory is correct)!

Now, anyone who has spent some time in the Alice fandom knows about the list. She's in it, it deadnames her (evil trans queen), and so on and so forth. What matters to my post, though, is what her status is labelled as, which, chronologically, would have been her status at the time of Cabin Fever Labs's attempt at patching Nori of the Solver.

There she is, number 017, deadname scribbled out for respect. And what is her status? "Corrupted". Now, we don't know for sure what it means to be "corrupted" (trust me, I have spent several late nights/early mornings trying to figure it out), but my hypothesis is that the state we see Mika (032) and Jame (012) in are the result of being corrupted by a bad patch (Mika left, Jame right)

Chained up, sedated, kinda fleshy, and very dead, right? Now, to explain why I think this is what corruption looks like, it's just process of elimination. It can't be a successful patch because these guys aren't anything like Nori or Yeva (plus it does everything except outright say that Yeva was the first drone at Cabin Fever Labs to receive a successful patch).

Athough I could see a possibility where this is the result of a patch having no effect and the Solver lashing out, the part that hangs it up for me is that these drones wrote on the inside of their locker doors, meaning that they weren't killed then chained up inside of their lockers. It means that they were restrained inside of their lockers, then died on their own afterwards. That's not what would happen if the Solver was on a rampage. Also, even if the writing means nothing and these drones had ineffective patches, the Solver fought back, then they were offed, why would Cabin Fever Labs keep the dead bodies? Let alone chain them up and sedate them? They would've properly disposed of it so as to eliminate a potential host for the Solver, there's no reason they would have kept the body around if this was the product of a "no effect" patch.

So that leaves only one option: corruption. And just looking at it, this feels, at least to me, what "corruption" could look like. A sort of halfway between machine and flesh, chained up and sedated so as to get the spazzing drone from catching anyone, and a slow burnout after being confined in their locker (possibly kept alive so the scientists could see what happened). Seems pretty straightforward to me.

So to bring it back to my original point, this short-circuting freak out, a corruption of the mind, followed by a slow confined death. If this is an accurate evaluation of corruption, then that is what happened to Alice when they tried to patch her. What Mika and Jame look like? At the time of Nori's patching, Alice looked like that too. Despite that, though, she was still, through methods unknown to us, able to not only come back to life, but also completely reverse the fleshiness and return to looking like a completely normal worker drone (minus the knife tail, although I always assumed that that was a self-modification on her part considering it lacks any of the fleshiness characteristic of Solver Tails).

If she was able to come back unscathed from such a terrible fate then, then what's stopping her from using the same methods to come back from a simple head stomp? It was just her head that was crushed after all, not her core.

An addendum: "What Methods?!"

After reading my initial theory, I'm sure you're asking: "unknown methods? What does that mean?" Well I'm glad you asked, hypothetical person reading this that I made up in my head, because that lets me get into the biggest reason why I love Alice as a character so much. She doesn't make any sense according to the rules of the Murder Drones world that we already know. But not in a "she contradicts them", moreso a "she works in a different way", implying that there is a whole new set of rules in this world that exist, but we just don't know about them yet.

Anyone who thinks about Alice for more than a few minutes realizes very quickly how her existence as a drone admitted to Cabin Fever Labs makes no sense. She's very obviously been given the Solver, both because of her "corrupted" status on the list and the fact that she's even here at all, yet she also shows no symptoms of being possessed by the Solver or, most importantly, any signs of possessing the telekinesis/regenerative/create flesh limbs abilities inherent to all drones who possess the Solver, patched or otherwise. Not only that, but she also actively distances herself from drones who do, calling them "witches".

Hell, in the case of regeneration, she straight-up proves she doesn't have it when she replaces the tip of her finger that Uzi bit off with a new one instead of regenerating her old one.

In a comment section somewhere, I saw someone speculate that the reason Alice is like this is because she is asymptomatic to the effects of the Solver. This idea absolutely fascinates me, the idea that, for whatever reason, the Solver sits dormant in Alice's code instead of infecting her like it does all other drones. (I suspect that this is the reason why she was able to come back while other corrupted drones weren't. For a moment, something happened to kick her strand of the Solver out of it's dormancy to bring her back to life, before going dormant again.)

Even if my speculations don't end up being true, this idea that, in some drones, the Solver can lay dormant is still an entirely new concept, a new function of the Solver that we never see it display anywhere else. It's a treasure map hinting at a treasure trove of all-new lore waiting just at the end. The sheer promise Alice has is so exciting to me. There's so much there, hiding just below the surface I can feel it.

It is for this reason that, out of all the Murder Drones characters that go underutilized, Alice is the one that, I feel, is the most desperately deserving of an episode/mini comic series of her own. THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON HERE, I CAN SMELL IT! WE JUST NEED TO GO A LITTLE DEEPER!!!

solver flesh is vegan because it technically doesn't come from an animal. in this essay i will-

All the disembodied flesh could in theory classify as vegan on account of (presumably) not being attached to an actual creature. Ergo, no animals were harmed (unless the solver stabbed someone) or exploited (unless the solver possessed someone) in order to make it

but also, if you don't classify the solver as an animal, then it would also technically be vegan

In the "letter of the law not the spirit" type of way

Life!GemPearl is what fans think toxic Yuri is. It’s not in the slightest. Far from it.

Put some respect on FairyRot. Cleo didn’t burn down Lizzie’s fairy fort only for you to consider Gem and Pearl’s childish bickering to be peak toxic Yuri and divorce coded.

The A Good Girls Guide to Murder trailer just dropped and as I'm in my Chaos Theory era all I can think about is how Pip and Brooklynn would be best friends, solving mysteries and encouraging each other's worst impulses

[incorrect-fnaf-quotes]

Honestly, in the MLP AU, when the encounter happened, if everything had gone differently, Henry just had a full plan.

The idea that his friend was innocent was still on his mind—maybe it was all wrong? Maybe he’d been framed? Maybe, maybe, maybe- Henry’s thinking a lot.

If it had turned out differently, he would have brought Springtrap out of the attraction. He would have tried to figure out who really did all of this.

Henry really wished it had gone differently.

i want a story where flora reinhold solves a mystery on her own. she finds the courage to explore the outside world she had been sheltered from for most of her life, meeting new people and maybe even making some friends along the way. she proves to professor layton that she is not a fragile flower, and that she can accomplish things if only given the chance. she might even discover a hidden talent within herself. she showcases her smarts by solving puzzles. at the end, professor layton apologizes for underestimating her and begins to take her seriously. and from then on, he always includes flora in his investigations (while luke is away in america). do you undertale me. i want a character arc for her. i want to see some significant growth

the wiki trivia section says that she likes murder mystery novels!!! maybe she has a favorite book from that genre, and uses its protagonist as an inspiration during her investigation. "what would the great detective do...?" "this reminds me of a scene from my novel!" etc

i really wish i could write better. i would love to make a comic 💔 flora reinhold you will always be famous (to me)

Name: Life is Strange: Double Exposure

Genre: Mystery, Urban Fantasy, Puzzle Solver

Platform: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch

Release: 2024

Audience: Teen

Protagonist Type: Set

Romance type: Optional, BxG, GxG

Official Synopsis:

Max Caulfield, photographer-in-residence at the prestigious Caledon University, discovers her closest new friend, Safi, dead in the snow.

Murdered.

To save her, Max tries to Rewind time – a power she’s not used in years… instead, Max opens the way to a parallel timeline where Safi is still alive, and still in danger!

Max realizes the killer will soon strike again – in both versions of reality.

With her new power to Shift between two timelines – can Max solve and prevent the same murder?

Content warnings: Violence

Notes:

The protagonist Max returns from the first Life is Strange game. It is recommended to have played the first game to understand this one. The two romance options from the first game, Chloe and Warren, do not return, and regardless of which character Max ended up with, she will be revealed to have broken up with them at some point.

Two new romance options are available to Max: Vinh, a male university administrator, and Amanda, a female bartender.

The game uses a mechanic that allows the player to switch between two separate realities, and Vinh and Amanda's romances are exclusive to one reality each, so you cannot pursue them in both. You can romance them both at the same time via reality-hopping, but it is implied that this will complicate Max's future and requires a lot of effort on the player's part.

Much like the first game, the narrative is seemingly biased against the male love interest, as Amanda receives more romantic content compared to Vinh. Other characters also encourage Max to pursue Amanda, and she is somewhat easier to romance.

Vinh has lingering feelings for Max's friend Safi, who he had a fling with that ended before ever meeting Max. Helping Vinh to move on from his feelings for Safi is required to continue his romance.
