louis, clementine, jane and kenny for the character opinion bingo 🙏

RAAAAHHHH LETS FUCKINGG GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

louis

im doing these in ms paint dont make fun of me BUT LOUISSSim in love with him top 10 f/o of the over. oh my god. LOUIS GETS a *little* done dirty by the fans but in general hes really beloved and i am grateful for that. i love him. he is so the EVER im so excited to start s4 literally just for him i am obsessed with this guy hes the silliest billiest of the ever my life

clementine

CLEMMMM one of my fav characters honestly... also i checked off adoption papers but best friend bestie papers also work. SEE i was playing s3 w max and he was like "im a clementine apologist" and im NOT her moral greyness in s4 IS MY FAVORITE FUCKING THING EVEERRRRR mcarrol ranch. RAHHHHH OH MY GODDDDD all my thoughts about her are, to be completely fair, recycled thoughts from much more competent anaylitcsists (thats not a word but i dont care) BUT still i could regurgitate those recycled points for HOURSSS i love her sm. ALSO she doesnt REALLY work better as part of a dynamic im moreso referencing her parallels with aj and lee GGRAAAAAAHHHH LEE AJ PARALELL im very easily pleased.

jane

hmmm janeee... this is where my popular opinion differsss. ok so my thoughts on kenny (this isnt about kenny but kennys impportant when talking abt my feelings on jane) rlly shifted when i watched the video "we dont talk about kenny" or some shit BASICALLY making the claim kennys role in s2 is that of an abusive stepfather. i didnt agree w all their points but its what shifted my view on kenny. (altho my view on kennys shifted AGAIN after playing s2 but youll see that in a sec) when it came to jane tho a lot of the comments were complaining that jane was "just as bad", and the vid doesnt mention her enough. so thats the belief i adopted

UNTILLL i played s2 and thought. no. no shes not nearly as bad as kenny imo. jane has commitment issues forged by trauma which is why shes hesitant to connect w the group and leaves on impulse. she knows what its like to get hurt. but the fandom constantly mischaracterizes this as jane not caring about anyone but herself (probably cuz kenny said it... just sayingg....) and that pisses me off. you cannot claim jane, who killed someone who wasnt directly attacking her the first time for clementine, who pulled clementine out of the ice and was the most concerned with saving her life, who came back after being 2009 emo furry levels of a loner just for clementine didnt care about clementine. she totally did!! she was real with clementine, warning her about love and loss to protect her.

shes totally not justified at all in ep 5 tho. and shes not justified in everything she does! ever! shes morally grey and i like her but i think it just comes back to the ass writing of s2. they wanted a conflict between luke and kenny (new vs old family) but then were like "shit how can we kill one of them!" and decided to bring hotheaded, flaky jane in to KILL A BABY so she would be on the same moral playing field as kenny. which she ISNT thats DEFINITELY A LOT WORSE!! so of COURSE a lot of people hate jane. but idk i think shes mischaracterized a lot which leads to hate for the wrong reasons. it almost feels kinda?? misogynistic at times?? people who are adamant kenny, who has violent rage fits due to his trauma, is justified in doing so but jane being emotionally distant, or dare i say, "a bitch" bc of her trauma is out of line... i see yall...

kenny

ayyy bingo!!! oh i got bingo on jane too i just didnt notice oops. OK so kennys section is gonna be as long as janes so before i ramble about that i wanna clarify the dynamic part: kennys whole thing is loyalty and i think his best moments are when hes with other people. theres not one specific kenny + another character dynamic i like, i just think kenny is best when hes w people.

kenny... clenches fist. i mentioned in my jane rant how the "why we dont talk about kenny" video changed my perspective of him. and yeah! it did! i dont like kenny in s2 specifically. i think they fucked up his character for the sake of pointless angst and where we couldve gotten an arc about cycles of trauma or healing or literally just kenny-based-fanservice instead we got a pissing competition between him and jane of who could take out their trauma on the other more violently. kenny particularly gets me bc personally, im a big doormat! i walk on eggshells for people. s2 kenny is the type you need to walk on eggshells for. and thats not healthy. i think kennys statement about jane in the truck is wrong, and i think hers is wrong too, but... i mean shes a LITTLE right. the people around kenny ARE scared of him. he (I THINK) recognizes his actions to clementine but seemingly doesnt take an effort to really change them... he just mopes around and then beats up teenagers. its exhausting.

but i dont think its right to call kenny an abusive stepdad. hes not as bad as i expected, to be frank. hes just really poorly written. he is in heavy grief over his familys death, and theres something that can be done with that, but it isnt. he stagnates until it escalates to a final confrontation- which would work in theory if the confrontation wasnt over the death of an infant, like regular kenny would still totally kill her ITS BABY MURDER IT DOESNT WORKKK- and ends. at least closed-off jane opens up occasionally, she isnt totally stuck at the same point like kenny is. kenny recognizes his problems, but when hes with people he acts the same. itd be like if jane kept telling clementine "i think i will open my heart and be less afraid to accept people into my life" and then left the group again. i could probably say more but ive been typing this for like an hour at least im gonna end it here. kenny my beloved but also i hate you

(altho one thing i do love abt kenny is how no matter what ending u choose he assures u it was the right choice... i think thats sweet. just bc im a big kenny critic doesnt mean i dont still have a big attachment to him)

anyways w/ all this out of the way please note these are all my opinions if anything is inaccurate dont come at me... im simply sharing my perceptions of my favorite little game

#NOT gonna tag this bc i have some unpopular opinions #also didnt research anything for this so there might be inaccuracies!!#dont wanna spread misinfo yknow #bunny tag #walkie talkie

Can I ask what the problems were with Austin’s official art? I’m a dumbass who doesn’t play the sax lmao

first of all you’re not dumb, most of the inaccuracies i’ve spotted are just obvious to me b/c i’ve played the sax for like, a decade lmao. also i know this post is ridiculous and nitpicky and i’m not trying to like. attack v*ria or anything so please don’t send me messages later lol

so like what sticks out the most is that it’s literally just a stock image of a saxophone edited into the drawing. she colored the bell (the curvy part at the end, where the sound comes out of) + the mouthpiece so you might not see it at first but if you zoom into the buttons it’s pretty easy to tell lol. i put the (flipped) original drawing at the bottom of this post if you need to reference it.

now onto very specific things that irked me:

1. austin’s sax is a tenor, but it’s the size of an alto: both instruments look the same but you can tell the sax in question is a tenor b/c of the curve before the mouthpiece. here’s a cute little graphic to illustrate size differences!

as you can see the tenor is significantly bigger lol. the sax in austin’s official art should’ve been like, twice as big.

2. the saxophone is flipped. honestly i didnt even notice this until I was typing this up but the keys on the bottom of austin’s sax are what your right hand rests on. it looks as though she imported an image facing the other way and then decided to flip it, even though that’s not how saxophones work lmao!! you just plain don’t see all of the buttons from that angle. for comparison...

3. his hands aren’t even in the right spot!! though the sax looks super confusing to a non-player, i promise there’s a method 2 the madness. i did my best to label the pics above - though the buttons I circled aren’t all of the buttons you use they’re generally where each hand rests/where your basic notes come from. (there are additional buttons on the sides for flats/sharps/octaves etc but that is absolutely not the point of this post lol). i pointed this out in the image down below (and flipped it bcuz now it irritates me that it’s not facing the right way lmao):

I mean you could make the argument that he’s holding it or something but like, his fingers are clearly drawn to be pressing buttons of some sort, but i mean, first of all it’s honestly levitating bc he has no real grip on it, second of all there are easier and less risky ways to hold ur sax, and third of all my final point:

4. there’s no neck strap: bro you can’t play a sax while holding it up with no neck strap. u just can’t. trust me ive tried many times as a joke lmao. if you can play it just doesn’t sound great bc your fingers are just pressing down on everything!! if you let go of some buttons to play different notes u WILL drop it!! neck straps exist to allow you to play both while standing and sitting. also the sax is like, a heavy instrument (especially the tenor & the bari) so the strap on ur neck (i’ve seen some for the back too w/ the larger saxes) helps to distribute the weight so you’re not like, dying.

i just. idk like the reason i know these things is because i’m a saxophonist but like, i’d figure that if you’re being paid to make official art for a real book series you’d like... put in like 2 seconds of effort? at least use one reference of somebody actually playing?? do 30 seconds of research??? there’s so much about this that’s so lazy i just can’t get over it. like i understand that the saxophone is an extremely complex instrument that’s very hard to draw but like... idk ? like i said you’re literally being paid

anyway here’s the drawing i made with some of the stuff fixed b/c it would not stop bugging me!!

#long post #also not sax related but some people have pointed out that the coloring of his hands is sus #lmao im so sorry this is so much
