my dream as a fanfic writer is to write a story which people want to talk to me about and send asks about afterwards and discuss things the characters did and the symbolism and meanings behind certain lines and I'll be all "hehe thanks" but irl I'll be in literal tears because I wrote something that means something to someone

Feeling a bit reflective on the eve of 1.6 being released-what a ride entering into fandom again!! Thank you so much, Concerned Ape, for making this beautiful game that has restarted my creativity.
Here's a little painting of the title screen that started it all!

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THAT WASN’T THE REAL MAX
I know that Grace's Max fantasy isn't Max; I'll be first to scream that from the rooftops, but I would like to analyze one small thing.
'Love me like you don't care.'
That is how Max has had people love him his entire life. That's it, that's the post, thanks for watching, hit that notification bell—

I’ve always thought of the LiB as being the eldritch equivalent of kids who have Barbies to play with and precious little else. You know how little girls will come up with the most convoluted, drama-and/or-war-crime-saturated games imaginable? That but on a cosmic scale.
day 8363827473 of enduring having the view that the lords in black are child gods and instinctually recoiling at ship art because of that headcanon. tis a hard life..but an honest one.

CORRECT
Jason and Salim are drift compatible. That is all.

Things that could’ve fixed the awkward Eric/Rachel/Nick drama in House of Ashes imo:
The love triangle is omitted entirely and the fandom is left to ship as it pleases
They have the conversation before the briefing and that’s that
They try to have the conversation in the Star Cave and get shamed into dropping it for the time being by Jason and Salim
(Alternately, Jason steps in Murray Bauman-style and insists they get their shit together before they drive him insane)
There’s no big conversation at all, just a little tension from knowing there’s a problem but they’re professional and save that for post-game
All three have multiple chances to bond Jalim-style depending on dialogue options and QTEs, possibly resulting in them behaving more like a polycule by the end
Rachel straight-up kisses Clarice in front of Nick and Eric after they make it to the “safety” of the temple

Imagining the cast of House of Ashes being trapped in Du’Met’s murder hotel.
Strikes me very much as “We’re not trapped in here with you, you’re trapped in here with us” situation.

I really do love running a Hatchetfield blog because there's a good chance I could create a post that literally just says
"paul"
and there will almost certainly be someone out there who just goes "yep" and reblogs. Because none of us are normal about this series. And I sincerely love that vibe sm ♥️

AU where Jason and Salim find Kurum/Balathu completely submerged in the fluid, pull him out, and then spend the rest of the game with a confused ancient Mesopotamian trailing along behind them

Thinking about how in a single gameplay Jason (who already has blood on his hands and conscience from an incorrect call) can be faced with the decision to:
let Merwin face the vampires alone
stab Joey
shoot or abandon Clarice
shoot Rachel
lie to Nick about his chance of survival
leave Salim to die
And then thinking about how they find Balathu or Kurum half preserved and suffering and Salim decides they must put him out of his misery. And how when Jason automatically moves to follow through, Salim puts a hand on his gun and says “I’ll do it.”
It’s a choice born of practicality, not kindness. But to Jason, who’s made the call so many times he’s gone numb, it must also be a lifeline.

Routes I wanna try once I finally get the tech to play House of Ashes:
playing Eric as an absolute jackass until they end up underground
actually I want to do a playthrough where the only American not being a dick the entire time is Jason, I think that’d be funny. yeah that guy’s the intolerant one. no yeah he’s the nicest most reasonable guy on the team.
getting both Jason and Salim killed underground just to see how the Kingkay Triangle reacts
taking every opportunity to say nothing, might fix a few things idk
getting Rachel to ditch both Nick and Eric
failing every QTE in human-v-human fights and then succeeding every human-v-vampire QTE (aka the Steve Harrington playthrough)
anarchy route. Salim beefs with Dar. Jason and Nick beef with Eric. Rachel’s just mad.
keeping them from finding any clues. they know jack shit about what’s going on and we’re gonna keep it that way.
Lemme know if there are other weird angles I should check out while I’m at it :)

does anyone else start picturing fanart versions of characters when reading fanfic even if the media the fics come from is live action/have canon depictions of characters??
like, i’ve been reading so much steddie lately but when i’m reading fics, i’m not picturing joe and joseph in my head, i’m seeing specific versions of steve and eddie from whichever fanart of them that fits the best to that fic??
like, in majority of fics, in my head this is steve:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(c) @rogue-alien
and this is eddie:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(c) @unavidas | (c) @toktopus-art
but like this is THEM™:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(c) @rogue-alien | (c) @glitterfang
(and also sometimes these)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(c) @jayjay-thejet-plane | (c) @theopteryx | (c) @toktopus-art
like??? idk how to explain it

i know we all laugh (mostly fondly) about the paper-thin plots in porn that only exist to make the sex happen, but i was reading some old stargate fic over the weekend, and i really think we're sleeping on the paper-thin hurt/comfort plot that only exists to force the characters to FEEL THINGS.
like, is this scenario realistic? no. does it make any rational sense? no. does it provide a built-in excuse for a character to collapse, bloody and disoriented, into the arms of his beloved/friend/partner? obviously, that's the whole point of this exercise.
i love it. it's my favorite thing in the world.
