Haha... what was Zayne thinking?

Interesting choice of clothes there, Zayne 😂

[liztuxiemacks]

This is super accurate

Their reaction to walking in on you changing:

Zayne: Immediately looks to the floor and steps back, closing the door and apologizing. He adjusts his glasses nervously after.

Xavier: Stops. Locks eyes with you for a little too long. "Oh, sorry." Covers his eyes but doesn't leave. Might do the task he came for with his eyes covered.

Rafayel: He blushes and gasps, asking why you didn't lock the door. Then he smirks and says, "Maybe you wanted me to walk in." Depending on your reaction he leaves or stays.

Sylus: Full, slow, appreciative once-over, "I didn't know you were here changing. I'll leave," said with a lilt. He lingers a bit in case you ask him to stay.

Caleb: No reaction. He just walks in and does whatever he came to do. He's used to seeing you change. Though... He'll lowkey ask if you need help.

If you haven't played or seen any of the memories from the tomorrow's catch 22 event, particularly Zayne's/Galen's, beware of spoilers. ( I actually wrote this a long time ago but posted it late, haha)

I'll get straight to the point, here's my steamy Zayne analysis

Each activator is in their respective memories:

Sylus : His right eye

Caleb: Behind his left ear

Xavier: Close to the base of the spine

Rafayel: Adam's apple /throat

Zayne: ... Yes you guessed it correctly. And I have proof.

There are many subtle hints before she presses "it" with the tip of her boot or knee (depending on camera angle).

There's also many theories explaining that it's on his lower chest, somewhere close to his abdomen. That's where MC'S knee is placed but if you look really close- her knee doesn't touch his chest at all.

There's also a few clues suggesting where it's placed through dialogue. To make it SFW, i wouldn't include any of the dialogue in this theory and instead, use hints.

First hint: His concern expressed through dialogue for MC contains multiple hints. Suggesting its somewhere obscure, it's something delicate and indecent.

Second hint: He's always in calm and collected and remain in control, despite MC injecting the frenzy enhancer. To fight off the effects, Zayne distracts himself by kissing MC.

Third hint: Have you noticed only Zayne's got a cheeky response to MC? Zayne: "why don't you… and find out? He knows where its placed but acts coy to tease her. Besides luring MC into the cage, none of the other guys invites/allows MC to touch them. ( Sylus doesn't openly invite her to touch him but instead her not to press it. MC's hand momentarily disappears off camera when he's on the floor causing him to loose control.)

One more fact though. The activator was placed long before they actually meet in this scenario so it doesn't have anything to do with MC. It's a personal choice.

Fourth hint: In all the other memories, MC announces (to the player) where each of the activators are placed on the guys. But for Zayne, she only mentions this: "so that's where the activator is…" If it's on his chest like plenty claim, why won't MC say it?

Fifth hint: Everyone's activator has a red dot indicator. Zayne does not. There's a reason for this. Its hidden. For those saying it's on his chest, look closely- its a reflection. he doesn't react at all when MC openly touches his entire chest and abs.

Watch where her left hand travels down to off camera after he compliments her technique with "impressive". We can't really see much with how fast it is in dim lighting. But if you slowed it down… Zayne pulls her close, effectively blocking the player's view before we even get a chance to see where it's hidden. We see MC leg's obviously shielding his lower half.( in every other scene with the boys, after finding the activator , it glows red. The most obvious being caleb'sleft ear, Rafayel's throat and Sylus's right eye. In this scene , it's left to the imagination.)

Her left hand returns to his chest to prevent herself from loosing balance. Zayne breaks the chain and temporaily looses his self restraint with one exception- he shields her head and back from the hard floor.

In my opinion, Zayne's and Sylus's memories are the steamiest compared to the others.

This is purely speculation but i believes it fits with his character. In the ending, he says 'You can't leave me' is his way of admitting that he's always been in love with MC. This also suggests that Zayne still has some level of control to continue the conversation after.

If you get the failed bad ending, when Zayne bites her, he can't forgive himself for hurting MC so his final goodbye, the only way he believes he can truly atone, is by dying or removing himself from MC's life. Which is consistent with his lore.

Lastly, if you love this analysis, please consider supporting me on ko-fi and inprnt.

I'll post another steamy zayne theory soon. if you want a first hand updates whenever i post a lads theory follow me on ko-fi.

Kurtis trent should've had a recurring role in the tomb raider series after his appearance. Not as a love interest. Canon or not, i personally think Lara is attracted to guys but still asexual.

While i don't think she should retire just yet, I do agree Crystal dynamics should make a new character and not alter Lara's personality. There's nothing wrong with original Lara in any way. Changing her seems hypocritical to the concept of "accepting who you're meant to be" like described in the Survivor triliogy.

Agree to everything else. Well said.

Everyone on Twitter loving the idea of TR1 being remade/reimagined or having the games in a unified timeline is making me want to smash my head against a wall. (I honestly think the Lara Croft and Tomb Raider game franchise needs to be retired and Square needs to create their own character. Create their own icon instead of trying to change an established one.)

Giving Lara the original look and dual pistols doesn't mean anything, Lara Croft, and Tomb Raider OG Franchise is more than her look.

What made the character and the games are the following: Lara's attitude/personality (no bs, witty, independent, willing to be feminine but still strong) and the atmosphere, tone, & game style (puzzles, timed events, limited saves, isolation, silence/little music).

All I can see any future tomb raiders games being is a continuation of a sloppy gender-swapped version of Uncharted.

damn i thought the same thing and when i saw this… 100% agree

also have you noticed this? Sylus calls MC kitten. Caleb calls MC a pipsqueak.

Pipsqueak literally means: a person considered to be insignificant, especially because they are small or young.

in the cambridge version, it literally says this ( if a guy calls you this):

someone who is not important and does not deserve respect: You little pipsqueak! People of little importance.

it's an offensive term and shows that he does not have her best interests at heart like Zayne. This fact is further proven by the apple theory. "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"

Even MC's grandma notices something is wrong and trusted Zayne to take care of MC not Caleb. So yeah, Caleb definitely a villain.

Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.

It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.

This is my favourite ever cutscene from the og re4. The voice acting? The little grin before jumping? PEAK.

I kept the last bit in because I loveee the way Leon sounds during this whole thing. His og re4 voice actor did a fantastic job; he sounds so sassy

And Ashley too!!! I do love the remakes but their og characters are classics.

[liztuxiemacks]

Now imagine a scene like this for aeon in a remake, maybe 6 or future entries confirming that night in damnation. OR a new cg movie that finally, finally resolves the tension these two characters have in game.

I know resident evil isn't susposed to focus on romance. It is a game about zombies after all but maybe just add a little scene like this for us aeon fans. I mean, chris got to punch boulders. that's hardly realistic in real life.

Full Sylus preview video. Better quality and the Touring in Love border removed. Enjoy😉😉

in one of the interviews, the writer mentioned they wanted the relationship to develop over time as opposed to them falling in love at first sight in og re2.

With 4 remake , i think its the same thing. Leon was originally indifferent to Ada's involvement with Wesker but in the remake (even though it's not mentioned in game) he's affected by it.

That being said, I still prefer the og storyline. It's a more detailed in comparison to the remake especially with the A/B scenario.
