Ted saying that no driver has had this level of attention on them since Michael Schumacher...

Gentlemen, a short view into the past; Max's debut season, his Red Bull debut, the literal rule changed as a result of his debut in the sport... oh and everyone and their mother calling Kimi Max 2.0 and Toto's second chance at signing debut!Max since he failed the first time around...

One thing I'm so relieved with in Alan Wake 2 is the handling of female characters - especially Alice. The women of Alan Wake 1 were fairly lackluster: we have Barbara Jagger, a concept of a girlfriend more than a character, Rose, a pretty one-note fangirl who also just gets taken over by the Dark Presence for most of it, Cynthia Weaver - by far the best of all of them and one of my favorites, and then Alice.

Alice is so bland in Alan Wake 1. She's the classic hero's tragic wife who gets taken/killed early on to prompt him to save her. We get very little of Alice outside of her relationship to Alan. She's a plot device more than a character.

But I found myself so much more invested in her in Alan Wake 2. We get to see her photography - something that had mostly been introduced as a way she creates covers for Alan's books in the first game and now gets to stand alone as something purely from Alice. We get to see her process her fears and her traumatic experience through her art. We see her using her art to fight back against the thing haunting her. We see her as an artist in her own right and not just the wife of one.

I love the decision to only ever show Alice in videos - she feels real that way, and the choice to have her staring at the camera telling the viewer directly what she's going through and how she feels really worked to actually connect me to her. She finally felt like more of a person than just a concept.

And on top of that, we got so many other fantastic women.

Rose got more personality and agency - still a fangirl through and through but there's more to her than that now. She's hilarious and weird and runs around fighting shadow monsters because she thinks a dead author speaks to her through the clouds - and she's GOOD at it, actually. She knows what she's doing and how to protect herself and does what she can to help Saga along the way.

Saga is fantastic. She's capable and determined and good at her job, but also weird. She's excited to get a cult case. She finds a weird doll in the woods in some kind of ritual set-up and thinks it would make a good gift for her daughter. She's been psychic probably her whole life and just wrote it off as intuition. She's tormented with doubts and insecurities but the people in her life reassure her that's she's doing her best and has done so much for them.

Kiran is the tough government agent trope but as a woman, and I mean that in a good way. She gets to be a strong leader, kind of mean and annoying to deal with at first, stubborn, and capable. She has the bitter ex-wife who couldn't deal with her work. She bonds with Casey over marriage problems and drinking. She gets to shine in The Lake House, and I love it. Her role in the story would have been so easy to write as a man and they didn't go that route.

Remedy Games overall do still tend to have more men than women, but it feels like they're making a genuine effort to include more diverse, interesting women with every new installment, giving us more options to play as them, and I really appreciate it.

Chapters: 2/? 

Fandom: A Discovery of Witches (TV), All Souls Trilogy - Deborah Harkness

Rating: Mature 

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply 

Relationships: Diana Bishop/Matthew Clairmont, Diana Bishop & Matthew Clairmont 

Characters: Diana Bishop, Matthew Claimront, Max (The Last Anniversary) 

Additional Tags: HumanAU, modernau, Crossover with The Last Anniversary (Trailer), Just something that came to my mind after watching the TLA trailer

Summary:

It was supposed to be just another evening, just another date. But when Diana Bishop finds herself trapped in an uncomfortable conversation, a familiar yet unexpected presence changes everything.

Matthew Clairmont hadn't planned on intervening - but the moment demanded it. What began as a chance encounter soon felt like something else entirely.

Sometimes, the most significant moments happen when you least expect them.
