Maybe. It’s just hard to write the first case of a district. Why have they all been bad.

Among other things, why are we more focused on the victim being bad at acting than we are the fact that he was running a casting couch situation with young actresses. Why did we just forget that part after Chapter 1.

#criminal case #andy plays criminal case #I don’t even have a big long ramble for my tags #I have hope for the rest of the district- I’ve been told it’s the first *good* district #but man this is a weak start

Wow

That sure was one of the cases of all time

#criminal case #andy plays criminal case #this is about The Secret Experiments #and to be clear; the hunch I had back at like. Case 15 or whatever was right #which is to say that it would’ve been infinitely more interesting if Rachel was the murderer instead of the victim #because her general callousesness and sincere ambivalence to human beings dying around her wouldn’t have been weird #because that’s her character #also I’m gonna be honest if I wasn’t told about it ahead of time I would not have read Jones as someone who was into Rachel #like. he just strikes me as someone going through the same shock that I went through when I started the case #which is to say. that was someone you knew who was alive last week. now they’re not #it’s a jarring thing #anyway yadda yadda this was honestly uh. not interesting as a final case oops #mostly because I think they were trying to tug at my heartstrings with how noble Rachel was and how much she suffered but #uh they pulled too hard and now I’m numb #shoutout to Drake though. real great suspect. hope he recovers from the cancer

Alright, fine. I’ve been the captain of the ‘Rachel really sucks, actually’ train but.

I dunno. There’s undoubtedly something just… haunting about seeing a who was woman as on the grind as ever just last week being a lifeless skeleton floating in an acid bath today.

Which is definitely totally awesome, because I’m sure this means I’ll be able to cope perfectly when I’m forced to look at corpses of people I actually did like.

#criminal case #andy plays criminal case #now with all that being said despite my whining and bitching the Financial Center genuinely wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be #like. it had a weak start #like two broken knees and a twisted ankle weak start #but it picked up into genuinely interesting cases!#and I don’t really mind it not having a big overarching plot (unless you count Rachel)#especially because I think part of it just had to pull weight that the Industrial District left behind #primarily I think it did a much better job of tightening up the dynamic between Jones and the player #which as I’ve been keen to point out sorta kinda sorts out during the Industrial District but ultimately leaves something to be desired #also the Financial Center had In The Dead of Night. which is just the most upset (pos) I’ve ever been during a case #so. it gets points for that alone tbh #who knows maybe I’ll be like the cool kids (Nick Mostly) and do close thoughts whenever I finish a district #we can look at the Financial Center in a few days and I can catch up by doing a rundown of the Industrial District #then everyone can tell me how wrong I am #…I kid (hopefully) but I have noticed my opinions tend to be contrarian. never intentionally #but hey ho maybe it’ll be interesting to read through I dunno

Absolutely unreal lore drop that Charlotte divorced Jones over his job and the toll it had been taking on him but Rachel is somehow married to someone still.

Who is that. I need to know more about them, because Rachel is notably Mrs. Priest. Will this ever come up again?

Probably not. I’m not even sure it was on purpose. I’m probably overthinking it! But I just. Rachel’s spouse is gonna live rent free in my head now.

#criminal case #andy plays criminal case #Rachel Priest. or as I like to call her; ‘The Dockyard Killer but a person’#because apparently the bit in the Financial Center is ‘man I don’t like Rachel’#also I that it’s an unreal lore drop in comparison to Jones’ divorce #but. accounting for early game Jones yeah no that checks honestly

It’s occurring to me now, writing the follow up to the doodle comic from the other day. I. I projected part of my daddy issues onto Bo.

I. Did not know I could do that by accident. The more you know?

#criminal case oc #bo moynihan #me 🤝 Bo ‘bonding with your father over a point and click adventure game’#(both game protagonists are blonde. white shirts. big ol coats)#(these will be the happiest years you have with your father. cherish them.)#…no I mean it. like. light spoilers (i guess??) but Bo has a special emotional attachment to Gabriel Knight #both the character and game #(it’s some of the only games they’ve ever played)#and it did not occur to me how much it’s gonna end up echoing my own relationship with my father and the Monkey Island games #oops. all baggage. very sorry you had to read this

Turns out Bo's empathy cranks up tenfold with kids, wonder why that could be

#criminal case #criminal case oc #bo moynihan #david jeremiah jones #julian ramis #We're back baybee!#yeah so the muses took me in a stranglehold the moment I saw Julian #We love cinematic parallels that only I know about #ALSO HI #In the time it took me to finish a sketchbook doodle comic I finished the main case #WHY WAS THAT THE FIRST THING MY PREDICTION SHEET WAS CORRECT ABOUT #Anyway tune in for the cool sequel I guess where Bo is definitely cool and normal about that trial

Now on one hand, there being another dead teenager with a literal baby discovering the body isn’t awesome. I’ve known Julian for five minutes and I want to give him the biggest hug ever

On the other:

God short people are funny in this game

#criminal case #andy plays criminal case #I suppose this is your semi-weekly cc update #case 18 babey. we’ll be off to brighter pastures before you know it #and also like. what do you mean Bo’s like 3 inches taller than a toddler #rip them I guess

You know, I have the strangest feeling about the end of the Financial Centre.

Because like. I’ve osmosis’d a lot of the bigger spoilers, I think. Rough ideas of them, anyway.

But. Man, from what I’ve gathered so far, I can’t help but wonder if the ending would be more interesting if we flipped the script on its head. Though, I’m still a ways off, so I guess that’s just a bridge we’ll cross when I get there

#criminal case #andy plays criminal case #‘oh man I wish Rachel was more interesting’ monkey paw curls #like I dunno! her informant (possibly only one?) was killed and she barely blinks #it’s. unsettling.#and honestly I feel lied to I feel like she’s been presented to me out of context as a poor victim of circumstance #and that’s just. not correct #anyway hi tune into our next instalment where I complain about. case 17 #whichever that one is

i was reworking my own cc oc playlist and i was wondering if u have one for bo!! would love to see it

Oh, I don’t actually!

It’s not that I wouldn’t like to have one, I’ve just traditionally struggled with making oc playlists in general, which is made even funnier with the fact that to my friends, it seems to come as naturally as breathing.

Just. Is it a vibes based thing? Does it have to have a deeper meaning?

… that might be it, I might just be trying to apply a strict science where it doesn’t belong.

But this does make me want to try and put my nose to the grindstone and make a playlist for them. Dust off my Spotify account I haven’t opened in like a year and all that,

#criminal case oc #bo moynihan #that being said until further notice #please consider bo’s ‘playlist’ to just be How Lucky You Are from Seussical the Musical #and it loops for 10 hours #…That won’t be the actual playlist i promise. but it *would* be funny

Alright calling it now. Baby did the murder in Family Blood

#criminal case #for the record I’m about five seconds into the case #and this is partially in jest #but wouldn’t it be funny if ‘toddler did the murder’ was the first thing we could check off from my assumption bingo

Oh thank God Fashion Victim is settling back into the usual fair.

Like it’s paced properly! Everything actually happens for a reason! It’s not just you doing case things until someone walks into the room and points at the killer for you. Yippee!

Also, I’m fairly certain Odelle is,,, contentious as far as killers are concerned but honestly he’s done a better job at asserting that the Financial Centre is supposed to make me feel more off kilter- that the Industrial Area was filled with crimes of sudden passion but that the Financial Centre is filled with genuinely evil and skewed people.

And that. Is because a gross person ‘making an example’ out of a lady, partly to ‘be someone’ and partly for incel bullshit is the most grounded we’ve been in a while. It’s gross and pointless and a waste of life and I think that’s the point this place has been trying and failing to make before now.

Oh and they say weekend as week-end. Which almost derailed this entire post because of how distracting I found it.

#criminal case #andy plays criminal case #‘what do you do on week-ends’ oh look a fic opportunity #genuinely cannot believe I came out of this an Odelle Defender*#*purely in regards to his roll in the narrative #but here we are #but yeah no Fashion Victim is the best of the district so far by a country mile

Okay hi it’s targeted bullying at this point but

Bomb Alert in Grimsborough may genuinely be competing with Dockyard Killer as worst case so far.

Which, I suppose isn’t that surprising, since they share a lot of core issues. Like a suspect who belts ‘yeah I did the murder’ at the top of their lungs as soon as they walk on screen, a lot of wasted suspect space, and a character who absolutely reads as ‘yeah I could be reoccurring but I won’t’ (which, specifically is not about Rachel because I know she’s at least semi-consistent through the district)

Which, on the topic, Rachel is shockingly dry for someone I know is semi-reoccurring. Like, she seems to live and die on morally dubious reporter lady. Like, to compare against Bart, because I miss him, he only gets to cases to exist but he shows an actual character in the time he’s got.

He’s just a ‘kid’ (however much of a kid you can be at 25, anyway) who seems to play for all sides if they offer a good enough deal and is also a giant loser nerd, it’s great.

I don’t know, maybe I’m jumping the gun. Maybe she’ll do something concrete in the,,, like 7 cases she has left. She has the capability to! I know she has the chance, and I want her to, because I don’t like sounding like a negative bitch every time I give an ‘Andy plays CC’ update.

I mean, I suppose on the flip side, they absolutely have started ironing Jones out to a more particular degree, and that’s a welcome change. But I’m holding out hope! I’ve been lead to believe the Financial Centre kinda sucks so it’s just a matter of trudging through nonsense until I can break out into other districts.

#criminal case #andy plays criminal case #admittedly I probably will keep bullying cc #but like. I want that be lighthearted ribbing #like pointing out that 90% of scenes have a gun just. hanging out #but I just have to keep digging into it cause it’s weird these problems *arent* getting ironed out #anyway uh original work hopefully coming soonish. hopefully. I’ve been tired and sad

For the record when I was describing The Financial Center as being ‘things happen to the player: the district’

Like. That wasn’t a challenge

What do you mean the SECOND case is just. You sit down at the park and then an explosion happens, that’s the inciting incident.

#criminal case #like I was joking about The Kiss of Death(?) last time #But I played Bomb Alert on Grimsborough! I was supposed to remember that was coming!#rip to my memory of two years ago it literally doesn’t exist I guess

Is it too early to make a Judgement call on the Financial Center

#criminal case #the answer is yes #but. with the not even one case I have under my belt it feels #weird so far #like.#blood on the trading floor combined with things I’ve heard #it makes me feel like the Financial Center is just. things happen to the player #not ‘they do things’. ‘things happen to them’#hey wait #yeah isn’t the financial Center the district that has the one case #the one that opens with the victim literally falling from the sky #yeah like the bit is funny and I enjoy it but #it kinda encapsulates the vibes it’s giving off

What’s up gamers, it’s your favourite girl

Uh 👉👈 I kinda wanna do some drawings when I come home from work so. If anyone has any requests or suggestions, as specific or vague as they may be. Let me know.

#criminal case #hi the engagement sustains me #but I simply only have loose amorphous blobs of ideas in my head so. I need a grounding rod #or something. yeah. that makes sense I’m sure.
