(tape 1 bloom)

replaying the opening (its been twenty minutes Im still in the first convo) anyway i do NOT like swann's mom's attitude.

'well urs being selfish now im gonna guilt trip you about visiting for the holidays even tho i know it makes you uncomfortable and the only way to say no is to hang up on me, in which case i will text you calling you rude for treating me like that'

replaying bloom and rage and the way each of the girls look at swann even so early on is adorable. like, autumn’s unabashed looks, nora’s longing gaze, kat’s nervous peeks… the way this game depicts young lesbian girls finding themselves and having crushes is so tender and sweet and I love this game and sapphic love

Dropping this quick sketch because I’m in my Bloom & Rage Era and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I finished Tape 1.

I can’t wait to finish the full piece for this- 👀

[bardistraee]

just finished the first tape of lost records: bloom & rage and i am sooooo normal. i'm so okay. it's fine. i'm fine. the girlies are fine. we're all fine.

it's not like we made a blood pact in a fairy circle and it turned into a giant glowing abyss pit. no we totally didn't do that. the baby queers would never do such a silly reckless thing. we just made a cute little music video that didn't cause a tv to rewind and play on it's own at all.

(tape 1 bloom)

we love conditional homophobia (this is... this is sarcasm)

so i was nicer to the mom in first convo, a bit more call-out in this one

so instead of her 'did u have a thing with one of the girls i wont judge' to 'is this about a phase you had back then'?

like hello?? hello???

[moonyaugust]

how did I only just realize the parallels between lost records bloom and rage and I saw the tv glow.

for a film that is supposedly in my top four, that this didn’t occur to me until now is deeply embarrassing. but yeah if you’re a bloom and rage fan watch i saw the tv glow you will not be disappointed

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

I’m still working at finishing all the collectibles in Tape 1, but after replaying a majority of the scenes I figured it’s time for some of my Tape 2 Thoughts and Theories!! This will probably be updated after I play through a few more times to try out some of the different dialogue/choice options, so I’ll call this Part 1 for now!

Spoilers under the cut!

Most of my thoughts come from Present Day Swann and Co talking about the past, when they’re narrating over events from 1995, some of these are quick comments I believe were meant to slip under the radar while your attentions drawn elsewhere…

I’m really hoping to get better insight into Dylans character, its stated multiple times by Swann that if she knew everything that was going on that she may have spoken kinder of her (Depending on your dialogue choices,) and at first I assumed this to mean Kat’s Leukemia and trying to watch out for her sister, but after going through Corey’s things in his bike and reading the letter that she wrote him and the bruises on her face in the final scenes, I’m highly suspicious of Corey, but at the same time I think there’s more going on behind the scenes specifically with her family. Kat and Dylans parents sound extremely strict with multiple lines talking about the amount of trouble they’d be in simply being someplace they shouldn’t or even talking on the phone. Even Corey makes references to the girls parents and the punishment they’d face by not listening to them, yet not wanting to get in the middle of it himself.

And speaking of Corey, there’s another line of Dialogue given by Present Day Swann during the fight between all the girls and Corey at the Movie Palace/Ice Cream Shop. Autumn says that after things with Corey got worse, implying that we’ll see more of a conflict with him in Tape 2 given that the events at the Blue Spruce didn’t seem too different from other interactions with him. Tying that into one of the very first flashbacks we get while Swann is sitting in the car, I think that Corey will be our main antagonist in Tape 2, as the figure in the woods with the Wolf Mask shares some resemblance from the small bit we see of them- I also think that whatever event takes place with this character directly ties into something happening to the Mikaelsen Ranch. Autumn makes another comment about how Corey got blamed for ‘What Happened at the Ranch.’

The Mikaelsen Ranch seems to be the main attraction of Velvet Cove, with the Water Tower featuring Antlers that I assume connect to the towns obsession with the Deer Farm and Hunting. In the Present Day However, the Water Tower isn’t quite so glorious and Velvet Cove seems to not care about repairing it as other towns would for their prized attractions. While this could be an impact from the Abyss and it’s possible consequences, it could also be from Velvet Cove moving on from the ranch, the cork board outside of the Bar features one Pamphlet about the Ranch, but is otherwise covered in other events to experience in Velvet Cove, unfortunately the downfall of the Ranch could also be from the Mikaelsens grieving- (Which I don’t want to think about at all because I’m fully expecting Kat to walk into the Blue Spruce by the end of Tape 2. 😢) But we also know the Mikaelsen Ranch will be a major point of interest in Tape 2 as we see some event unfold possibly resulting in its Destruction, whatever happened it doesn’t seem like they were able to get it back to its former Glory and Velvet Cove appears to have moved on from its Deer Ranch Era.

And a fun little throwaway theory that I’m still playing around with is the connection between the Mining Article in the Blue Spruce and the Mining Letters/Mining Equipment left behind in Fawns Rest. The article mentions something about a bunch of Miners Missing from Copper Co. and people organizing a search for them, but based on what we found at Fawns Rest the Cabin could have belonged to one the Missing Miners, which begs the question did someone else find the Abyss before Swann and Co, or is the Abyss even a result of some Mining Accident gone wrong?

They’re’s probably a whole bunch of clues I’m missing in regard to any of my theories, and I still have some things to finish up in the game along with some dialogue options to try but regardless this game has me HOOKED. I can’t wait all the way until April 15, I need some answers now!! But for now, I’ll just have to settle with pouring everything into Tape 1 to search for some answers for now!!
