idk the idea of Ghost being an absolute dog. rough, mean, downright cruel. treats you like a thing, he’s gross.
and Price being the opposite. like can’t imagine even asking you to lift a finger, full on princessification. buys you pretty things and brushes you hair for you. and them just never seeing eye to eye is making me CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYY
what's crazy is that they're both doing the same thing, just with wildly different approaches. and my (controversial) take on this is that Price is arguably worse than Ghost.
with Ghost, you pretty much know what you're getting into from the jump. no holds barred. he's not playing games. he wants you, he'll have you. end of. everything is laid out in stone before he even has to lift a finger to get you. you want out? run.
(but just. keep running. forever. because if he wants you, he'll never stop chasing you.)
but Price? you don't have to lift a finger because you can't. princess-ification, sure. but the sort that involves gilded cages. it's still a leash even if it's gold.
the end justifies the means, and that includes all things - even you. especially you. and once Price has you, you're stripped of everything that he doesn't like. put on a pedestal. your life wrapped around his finger. dependent on him for everything. he convinces you to quit your job, to move in with him (into a house that's just in his name). bends you until you break. moulds you into the thing he covets the most. there's no room for error here because one misstep and he can just. remove you.
and where would you go?
back to the friends he told you he didn't like? bad influences. or the ones he gave you that follow his every command? can you get a job in a city he has so much pull in? probably not when he has you blacklisted everywhere. the Price name holds a lot of weight and he has no qualms using his inherited power to ruin you.
he systematically dismantles your entire life and the wild thing is: you end up thanking him for it.
two sides of the same coin but at least Ghost is honest about how badly he's going to ruin you, y'know?

hello lovie! would it be possible to do a T141 with an american S/O? It always makes me giggle when i read them to see the culture differences! thank you lovie!!
Hey! Not gonna lie, I think all of them would almost get a heart attack from the culture shock! I know I do everytime I talk to my American friend! Also, I am neither British nor American, so I don't know a whole lot about either of those countries! I based this off of what my American friends have told me about the States!
TF141 with an American!Reader
Price: The moment you tell him about any of the human rights violations that are completely normal to you regarding your work he feels as though he’s going to die of a culture shock. What the hell do you mean you don’t get paid vacation??? He gets a whooping 28 days off, so why don’t you??? If you even get any days off in the first place. And then there’s the fact that you need to “earn” your sick days. What the hell??? What kind of shithole are the United States if you can’t even stay home when you’re sick??? I feel as though you could genuinely stun him into silence if you tell him those things like they’re the most normal thing in the world. He’s going to grow very concerned with you. Don’t you want to move in with him instead? Live in a new country that respects your rights as a human being at least somewhat? He will genuinely offer you to move in with him here and there, especially if you tell him some more concerning things. Theft at work? Just by picking up a pen from the ground? Really? The more you tell him about the States, the more he comes to resent that country.
Gaz: Oh, the two of you are gonna be arguing a lot. He’s well aware that there are quite a few regional differences with words, but Gaz is going to pretend he’s always right, even if he knows that there’s no right or wrong. Ghost is a leftenant, not a lieutenant. Those are chips and not fries. Love, that’s a bloody biscuit. He smirks at you every time he mentions his superior British English. Call him a colonizer and he’ll shut up, though. In fact, he’ll be super shocked. Seriously? You joke about that? He doesn’t make any jokes about 9/11 either, for example. It’s very surprising to hear how chill you actually are about 9/11, considering how much bad it brought with it. He doesn’t dare to make any jokes about it. He’ll call you Mr./Mx. Oppenheimer, though. He knows it’s disrespectful towards Japan, but if you have the audacity to call him a colonizer of all things, surely you can take a little joke. You gonna shoot the missiles, love? Gonna go to bloody Walmart and buy an AK-47? He loves you, but man, if he doesn’t need to be there, he doesn’t want to go to the US either.
Ghost: You’re a very perplexing creature. Because??? How can one human being be this loud in public??? Are you not afraid of being judged??? Of getting bludgeoned to death because you looked at a YouTube Short in public??? Naturally, he’ll protect you, but man, you’re very daring. Besides, how can you just??? Walk up to people and talk to them like that??? You don’t know them and you weren’t forced to talk to them either?????? Sure, you’re friendly but?????? Are you not afraid of getting judged in public for your accent or dialect??? You’re an American in England, people are gonna mock you??? You seem to take it in stride, though. Good on you for that one, lovie. But are all Americans willing to be this social??? Do you just walk up to people all the time and talk to them??? Do you not mind your own business at all times??? Congratulations, you’ve confused this man beyond repair just by being American and being a little bit social. Also, how in the world are you this touchy? Just because his touch starvation kills him doesn’t mean he’s gonna do anything about it. And yet here you are, hugging someone you’ve met a few hours ago. What???????
Soap: For Soap, it’s the small things that confuse him. Like, do you just guesstimate how much you pay at the store? Bonnie, what the hell do you mean YOUR STORES DON’T INCLUDE TAXES IN THEIR PRICES?? Also, bonnie, you can actually rely on public transport here in the UK. It’s okay, you don’t have to be afraid of the double decker bus or the metro. Because why in the world do you need a car to get literally anywhere in the world??? Also, why do your housing estates look like that?? It’s all squares?? He’s never gonna let you live down how ugly it all looks. Besides, your houses can literally be blown away this easily as well. You should come live in Scotland with him. This is not a suggestion, by the way, as you will be living there with him eventually. He refuses to live in the US. He’s gonna show you how nice Scotland really is! In fact, he’s gonna give you your very own kilt as well! It’s very comfortable, you should know! This, in actuality, is a bribe to get you to forget about the US. Please, never mention them again. They’re the peace police, but no one likes them, bonnie!!!

Life is Strange: Double Exposure reveal livestream spoilers
To conclude, we basically learnt nothing about the game itself. Powers and investigations are described pretty vaguely and pretty much everything everyone already expected with the whole timeline/dimension shift thing.
In terms of Max's background, Chloe and relevant Arcadia bay stuff are all relegated to the background (Max and Chloe probably separated for some reasons or never together to begin with in bae timeline I guess) so they don't have to account for anything regarding Max's past story except for having a "traumatic background" and it make sense for her to want a new beginning/"clean slate" no matter what you choose.
I'm...conflicted. On the one hand, probably the only way to justify having a sequel with two drastically different endings and still making one coherent story. On the other, yes both endings are traumatic, but they are traumatic in such different ways, they would absolutely affect Max in different ways that I'm worried they just won't address. Besides neither of which would really justify Max having/using another power to prevent yet another death the same way like before?
It just really feels like a repeat of the first game without really accounting for the first game? Like the characters feel similar from what we've seen, there's yet another campus setting, yet another murder mystery with superpowers... idk too soon to tell yet, but I am worried for now.
Game play looks neat, we also have those music moments back (yay(:), Max's voice is growing on me and much more nostalgic than I thought it would be, the graphics (while not stylized like the first game) is still pretty.
We also learn that Max uses blue tooth earphone and digital cameras now. So yay modern technology?
IDK (and I know I'm speaking to the air right now with my non-existent follower count),
Thoughts?

Ireland is a tiny, relatively sparsely populated, wet and cold island on the edge of Europe, with mediocre (at best) public transportation, damp and tiny houses, and a healthcare system perpetually on the verge of collapse, priced like it's fucking Manhattan.

no fucking joke getting hit by a car and offered a $1000 compensation has like. god okay i use my paycheck for "rent" and bills around the 1st of every month, and whatever remains (usually around 150-200 or so) to last the month which includes things like groceries, medications, travel fees, and appointment fees. i am always broke by the middle of the month. with an extra 1000 after using my paycheck on rent/bills i am currently: repairing my glasses, i now have the gift of sight. set an appointment for my GED test bc i now have the extra $100 to pay for it and the money for transportation to get there. im getting Mickey a bigger crate, as he currently uses Arlo's and she was much smaller than him. bought a binder, and paid off the last of some dental debt. this is the most financial relief ive ever felt in my fucking life. i need to get hit by cars more often its easier than getting job interviews
