Do I even need to say it??

What if Beths original Rick is the one that killed our Ricks Beth and Diane?

[lizardqueen80085]

I was disappointed that cop rick wasn’t in the seasons finale……but what if…..maybe just maybe these two are connected some how?

[lizardqueen80085]

Wait….so when Rick talks about how marriage is a sham and he couldn’t make it work….he isn’t talking about himself. He’s talking about other Rick’s and their relationships? Or is he talking about relationships he’s had down the line?! Rick lost Diane and Beth so young and it didn’t look like they were unhappy……

[lizardqueen80085]

Is Beth a natural blonde or a dyed blonde? If not then I don’t understand Space Beth’s hair color difference at the roots.

why do i have a feeling hawks and nagant don't actually have a relation to speak of whatsoever... Like currently it looks like she's the blueprint of all the stuff that could happen to him if he was rebellious that he knew of at like a hearsay level and one he tried to work his way around by seeming passive agressive... Like she looks just as isolated as hawks does ie rip both of them had no significant pacts outside the one with the hpsc

After this chapter, I'm /slightly/ inclined to agree but I think it's complicated on Hawks's end. I think they met once or twice, but more so Lady Nagant would have had a very big impression on Hawks's life and future career.

First off, @scarletrain1724 has a meta somewhere noting the gestures Hawks and Nagant exhibit are quite similar. It could be HPSC training to make them more approachable, but also it can be Hawks modeling himself early on an "model" hero (for him).

Two, I think the chapter shows at most she's in her early thirties and here's why. We see her in a seifuku uniform in a flash, which are more typically worn by junior high school students than high school ones (this is how we know initially PopStep was a middle school student and is now a senior in Vigilantes).

But take a look at this flashback:

That's the commission president! Missing some wrinkles! And yet just seeing that, and there have been people who have rightfully pointed out that Horikoshi reserves wrinkles for women over 40 typically, it's really clear that she's likely in in her thirties.

So Nagant is anywhere from 12 to 15 in this picture. Just going by how she looks, President is in her 40s or 50s. It's likely been twenty years since then. She probably spent ten years or so under them.

Hawks was bought by the Commission somewhere around 17-15 years ago. What this is means is that Hawks, as a child, would have been the age to meet her, likely, and she would have just been starting as a hero. There might be have been interactions! But more interesting than that is what it means for Hawks to have grown up in the Commission after she killed the boss and defected. Just going by the calculations here, he was likely a tween when she did this, and I think that Hawks's life probably changed.

An asset like Nagant going rogue and throwing away her training and loyalty would have made anyone very paranoid. I'm guessing they had to completely reevaluate the way they treated assets like her in hindsight. Hawks was in the pipeline so perhaps they were even stricter in limiting his agency, but also made sure he was incredibly dependent on them. They, of course, had an advantage in taking Keigo when he was very young, seven at most, and the fact his childhood was so traumatic at that point that he didn't have an identity outside of a hero one created for him by the Commission. I also don't think Keigo was used like Nagant to kill people - at least not in this large numbers. Lady Nagant's clearly a popular hero, but she managed both hero work and assassin stuff. I think, for the sake of their project, Hawks would have been pushed towards hero work just a bit more since they realized one person having the burden of all that killing was asking for trouble. And while his quirk is likely fantastic for killing quietly, he's also worth more as an information gatherer. So, I think what influence Lady Nagant has was the fact that Keigo grew up in her shadow.

Hawks, as one of Public Safety's heroes, would have seen this up close. To someone like Hawks, who prioritizes helping others/helping society at cost of everything else - his happiness, his friends, other people, what would it be like to see a hero who was his senpai, the person who he should have been like, throw it all away and cause such strife in the commission? What would it be like to know that she was in Tartarus and now everyone was looking at him, wondering if he'd follow in her footsteps? But this is Takami Keigo we're talking about; he's had to live with the burden of other people all his life with Thief Takami as his father.

Hawks grew into his heroism with the heavy burden of having to prove people he wasn't two people - he wasn't Lady Nagant, who betrayed his organization (no matter how much he can resent them), and he wasn't his villain father. Additionally given how the current chapters are very much implying that heteromorphs get perceived as villainous, and Hawks is significantly more heteromorphic than said villain father, there's three expectations Hawks has to prove wrong.

We don't know if they had a relationship. I like to think he met her a few times, maybe even observed her. I'm still in the camp of Hawks not really functioning as an assassin for the HPSC even if he had training for it, so I don't think she would have trained him. But this line from Viz implies that it's Hawks that feels he should hunt her down, and it's clear it's due to the responsibility he feels as her 'kouhai' in the Commission. It's the duty he feels as her 'successor' who has been fighting the shadow she left on his organization since she left.

Sally Character Analysis: The Constant Mother [SPOILERS]

Sally as a character is constantly being a mother to those around her. Even before the birth of her baby Gwen, Sally has surrounded herself with needy people who rely and depend on her. 

During her first 5 minutes of gameplay, we get to experience a day in the life of Sally Boyle. Between attempting to synthesize drugs for her needy clientele, answering the door to especially needy clients, receiving messages from her needy lover and looking after her (rightfully) needy baby, Sally is completely run off her feet. Sally constantly puts the needs of others before her own.

Her gameplay and narrative mirror this idea, one of her defining game mechanics is the fact that she has a baby to look after, meaning that she is constantly having to rush back home to feed and change her baby, this stunts her freedom and puts a level of urgency onto her tasks. 

However her narrative shows that this is a common pattern in her life. Her early quests all revolve around providing for needy people, which stunts her freedom and puts a level of urgency onto her tasks. 

For example:

Bobbies take her down to the station to aggressively insist she synthesize more Blackberry Joy for the constabulary as soon as possible. 

“The lads have developed quite an appetite for your fine cooking. As it were. If they go hungry, chaos will ensue. We must insist you devote your full and urgent attention to feeding them.”

Fittingly after i left the constabulary, an in-game notification popped up reminding me to feed Gwen. The parallels were intentional. Sally is needed and depended on by many characters, all competing for her full attention.

Additionally, her current and ex lovers appear to be equally needy.

General Byng lets himself into her house with little notice, he was feeling melancholy and needed Sally to cheer him up. Sally at some point mentions how Byng is often very melancholy and how difficult it is to get him out of his moods. Byng, like the bobbies, appears to rely on her drugs to help him forget. 

Near the end of Sallys game, Byng attempts to keep her imprisoned in an isolated location, that only he has access to. which also provided a lab so she can continue her drug production, but not just to make blackberry for bobbies, she was also expected to provide her “specials” just for Byng, as seen by a note he left on the lab wall that reads “Make me something special, won’t you? Love B.”

Onto Dr Verloc. Although we don’t really see what their relationship was like while they were together, even in-post it’s easy to see that Verloc depended on Sally greatly. From taking credit for her work and relying on her skills to needing her emotionally, Verloc appears to have fallen apart since she left him. In his petty attempts to have her arrested, he reveals his need to have her back in his life. When she goes to visit him, he flirts with the idea that she had “come crawling back” to him. In his death threat he sent to her, he ends the message telling her that if she comes to her senses, she can come back. He obviously still needs her and is acting desperately. 

Occasionally, Sally will talk to Gwen, one thing she says is:

“This would be so much easier if i had someone to help with you. But it can’t be your daddy, because he’s a, well, i think he’s a bit of psychopath. And i suppose if i WERE with him, the moment you went to sleep he’d want attention for himself, and then i’d be so desperately tired I’d bludgeon him to death.”

Which alone implies he was a needy lover while they were together, and it was something that likely bothered Sally. it’s also interesting to note that when pleading with General Byng, Sally tries to convince him to allow her to keep her baby, she says “I’ll make you happy, i promise, you’ll come first“, It seems everyone in her life is competing for her full devoted attention, and she knows that as long as her baby is in the picture, they won’t be happy. 

So she has to make a (very easy) choice between the abusive people in her life that depend on her, or, her baby. The only difficult thing about this choice, is getting away from these people.

A tragedy about her character, is that she has no need for anyone in her life other than her baby. All her lovers were just simply tools to protect her with or people to help her achieve her desires. She essentially needed no one.

No one, except Arthur. She needs his help, she loves him, and would like to escape with him, she’s a single mother who needs someone to help her in her life. She could ask no one else for help, only Arthur. For the first time, she allows herself to place her trust in someone, to depend on someone else for once.

The real tragedy is, Arthur decided he didn’t need her.

And in truth, Sally didn’t need Arthur.

But was it so wrong of her to want support, to want love, to want to be able to trust someone, to rely on someone? For once, she tried to reach out for help, but was denied. After all the people who depend and rely on her. She’s denied having just one person in her life who she can depend on. 

Of course Arthur has his own reasons for his choices, but that doesn’t take away from Sally’s own personal tragedy.

The tragedy that she must escape those who need her and is abandoned by those she needs. She is alone in the world, and can only depend on herself.

But she’s not alone anymore.

Sally finally escaping Wellington Wells with her baby is such a beautiful moment of personal freedom, freedom from the abusers that told her that she needed them. From the people who relied on her and depended on her far too much. From the people that would rather use her than love her. From the people that leave her when she needs them most.

Now, it’s just her and her baby. The only person who genuinely needs Sally, and Sally needs her. 

And they’re both free.

We Happy Few: Sally Analysis [SPOILERS]

I just finished act 2 and i wanna write some thoughts i have on Sally and how interesting her character is!

Major Spoilers ahead obviously

Before we even get to play as Sally, we’re introduced to her via Arthur and we learn a few key things about her.

. Arthur sees her as selfish and only ever thinking about herself (she does not disagree with this analysis)

. Arthur is mad at her for sleeping with his father.

I’m going to start with the second point first because, i think it’s pretty heavily implied that Sally is actually a victim in this case, but Arthur (and even more so tragically, sally herself) don’t see her as having been a victim. I don’t want to get too grim, but Sally was taken in by Arthurs father, she was a young girl, she even says to Arthur at one point “He took me in Arthur, what was i supposed to do”, she slept with him because she felt she was obligated to, she felt that she owed him. She was sexually abused as a young girl by a father like figure and worse than her best friend not acknowledging the abuse, she herself believes she wasn’t abused, or that it wasn’t wrong of him.

After we get to play as Sally, so many new mechanics get introduced. She has to look after her baby and care for it, provide food and clothing for it, and on top of that, she has to keep creating Blackberry Joy for her impatient and aggressive clients. In a way, she’s perpetually being a mother, constantly having to look after others with high needs and never has time for herself. A far cry from the selfish character Arthur assumed her to be. At one time he told her “it’s always about what YOU want isn’t it?” but when you play as Sally it becomes clear that it’s never about what she wants, it’s always for others.

Next, her choice in lovers, the two we know the most about and who she is the most involved with are Dr Verloc and General Byng, both men who’re quite older than her and both cruel or psychopathic. Has she got a type? or perhaps is she replacing Arthurs father in her life. Another abusive older man to fill the void the last one left.

In a lot of her flashbacks her mother is insisting that she focus on finding a husband or a lover, while Sally seems less than interested. Sally is sexualised from a young age, when her mother comments on her appearance before she was old enough to have a bra. Sally was sexually abused when she was younger but assumed she had an obligation to give her body to those who helped her. This is why she has such a lax and almost detatched view toward sex, it’s never about what she wants, it’s about what others want, what she thinks she owes, what she believes is their right to take.

It’s so much sadder when you realise that Arthurs perception of her being selfish and self-serving is also shared by Sally herself, she thinks she’s selfish, she thinks she’s cruel, and yet, nothing she does in the game is for herself, nothing but her final act, which was to escape with her baby.

I honestly love her character so much, she’s so brilliantly written and i adore her. Although i finished her part, i haven’t completed the full game yet, so i might add more soon if any more info on her pops up!

Weird symbols

Many players never got the answer about these weird symbols on the walls and floors and I did a little research since I wanted to know what they mean.

I mean these symbols (screenshots taken by a YouTube gameplay since I don’t have the game myself):

So I began, searching around google for alien symbols and after some hours of searching I found a sheet. I looked at it’s title and searched around for it which brought me to this:

After that I wanted to know if there are translation sheets for them and searched a bit more coming up with 3 sheets who seemed similar to these symbols that we see on the walls and sometimes on the floors.

So I tried to find sheets which could translate or tell me their meaning and I found a couple of sheets and pictures about it.

Many of their meanings could also be taken as a warning to either the robots or the player because at one point the player needs to sneak around to not be attacked by the robots which even a symbol warns the player to “be quiet”.

This one on the ground:

So yeah, I just wanted to share this around and also because many said on a poll on Instagram that they don’t know what it means and I wanted to clear it up for them. I would really like that you share this around since Tumblr messed up my first post about this and I had to rewrite this with 40 °C over at my country! :’)
