I hate Jimmy but I like him in the fact that we’re supposed to genuinely hate every fiber of his being. I think the story tricks us into thinking he’s a good person, or at the very least a morally grey character, and it’s like the story itself shows annoyance toward it while also giving us a sense of sympathy for falling to the same manipulation that Jimmy puts others through. But that is only if we actually realize the truth.

it shows annoyance towards us as the player/viewer but saves its special hatred for Jimmy. Not us, Jimmy. It’s annoyed that we show some kind of good will towards Jimmy before the silent reveal in the text that he assaulted Anya. It’s like the game acts like how an actual person would realistically react to this stuff: the player/viewer glosses or barely acknowledges the aspect of rape (as many have while playing the game) and the game shows fury towards you. But if you piece everything together about the assault, then it’s like the rose-tinted glasses fully come off and you see the horrible situation for what it actually was, for who Jimmy truly is

the game is like a test for its player/audience.

do we gloss over the horrific actions of Jimmy, the smaller details in the conversations between Anya and Curly, and the context clues of what Jimmy did to Anya; and thus allow the game to show its righteous fury towards our incompetence

or

Do we realize the truth of everything, of the actions of our protagonist; actions that we were led to ignoring by the main character himself before learning about what he’s done to everyone on the Tulpar; and thus allow the game to still show sympathy towards us while also rightfully being frustrated and maybe even hating us still

in other words: Do you eventually see the tiny, dead pixel in the vastness of it all; or are you so used to seeing the bigger picture that it never crosses your mind until it’s too late

Writing Mulder and Scully out of sync, not talking, not getting along, is WAY harder than I thought it would be. If anyone has any advice 😅

[euclydya]

[utilitycaster]

with all due respect (not much) every post about how no one is mentioning Ashton with regards to the other group is very tedious. It's literally as simple as Imogen and Laudna's codependency is well established and everyone else is being far more pragmatic and acknowledges that contact is simply not possible; Orym has a vague tie to a deity such that Fearne can at least make an attempt whereas Ashton has no such connection; and on a meta level the cast knows the other three are together so they're assuming in-game if they find one they'll find them all; and also it would be immensely boring to watch the party just sit in Uthodurn and wring their hands until people who can teleport return so instead they're going to Molaesmyr, which is awesome. I promise you that if Team Wildemount managed to contact Laudna or Orym they would be like "so Ashton is also with you, right?" and if they found that they'd been separated they would then make an attempt to find them.
