Why did D9 screw up the LiS timeline with BtS?
It's time to touch the third rail here and bring more criticism down on Before the Storm. Given the absolute delight (in a good way) True Colors was, along with the eventual success of the Remastered Edition, I have given Deck Nine some passes for the transgresses that was Before the Storm. But I have never forgotten the massive problems that came about with the whole-scale rewriting of LiS background lore.
When looking at why Deck Nine rewrote continuity, I think the blame lies with the vocal minority of fans who absolute hated on Chloe Price. The Deck Nine crew misconstrued this as a hatred of a deuteragonist who was angry and acted selfishly at times rather than realizing that the hatred was because Chloe was a woman. Thus they tried whitewashing the entire cast of LiS characters (outside of Max who was thrown under a bus and then run over repeatedly) by erasing anything potentially problematic with the characters.
(As an aside, why did they mistreat Max? There's two reasons that come to mind. First, Deck Nine may have felt that Max, as the least problematic character, was someone who could be their background "problem character" without causing too much hatred of the character as Max was only hated by a small group of the vocal minority hating on Chloe. Second, they needed to sell Amberprice and by having Max ghost Chloe, it took Max out of the equation. Seriously, having both Chloe and Max ghost each other would have worked far better, especially if Joyce kept bringing up "why don't you talk to Max?" and Chloe being sure that Max would want nothing to do with her. It would have had Max remain in the story without the blame being just on Max's shoulders.)
Unfortunately, there was a massive problem with trying to keep the core LiS characters from being "problematic" and that's the fact that Joyce was flirting with David within six weeks of William's death. (William's death happens after Max's birthday on September 20, 2008, and before Joyce's flirtatious note to David on November 20, 2008 - and the cold weather needed for the Price fireplace to be used most likely happened on October 10, according to RL weather records of the region.) This flirtation was enough that David Madsen kept the receipt from the diner to commemerate the date he met Joyce… and also annoyed the hell out of Max "I'm a teenage wallflower" Caulfield enough that she had impolite things to say about the note Joyce left David.
Joyce starting to date David within two months of William's death and marrying him within a year of being widowed would easily explain why Chloe hates David. It would paint Joyce in an unflattering light for a lot of people. And there are quite a few people who never realized just how quickly Joyce moved on from William and instead just insist Chloe was "unreasonable" for treating David that way. So Deck Nine just… pushed back the timeline. It's "dating" rather than "married" and it's past a year. So Chloe is just not moving on like her mom is. And David gets to be shown as "caring" if a little bit of a douche.
There were other ways they could have painted David in a better light. More, they could have had David and Joyce remain in an unfavorable light and in doing so provide some reason for Chloe to be acting out and causing trouble.
The truly sad thing is, there was an event in the Timeline photographs which would have provided an excellent way to not only provide a storyline for the game, but also stick to continuity (and even have Chloe meet Rachel Amber): Chloe running away when she was 15 years old.
Let's say that David moved into the Price household when Chloe was 15. Chloe has problems with it, says something offensive to David, he slaps her… and Joyce takes David's side. Chloe maybe even sees David proposing to Joyce… realizes he's here to stay despite having hit Chloe, and chooses to run away. Chapter 2 would have Chloe, with backpack and such, in the Oregon woodlands and coming across a campsite with a blonde-haired girl close to her age with two blue earrings who talks to her about why she's running away, who she is running to… and questions her as to why she's trying to reach a "best friend" who hasn't talked to her in over a year.
We even can have conflict that helps explain things in Life is Strange itself. If Rachel's father was homophobic, then the growing relationship between Chloe and Rachel would start raising red flags. Rachel and her father could come into conflict as a direct result of Chloe. And at the climax of Chapter 3 the father calls the cops on this "runaway" resulting in Chloe being sent home to Joyce and David. The game ends with school starting and Chloe being greeted by Rachel Amber, whose dad had moved to the area.
(How does this explain things in LiS? Well, in LiS Rachel's parents had given up on her… but in the William Lives timeline they are still actively looking for her. And in the William Lives timeline Chloe wouldn't have run away from home. Thus they don't meet up and Rachel's dad doesn't learn about his daughter being bisexual and thus be dismissive of his daughter.)
Now you have a fun little summer love story and justification for Chloe being upset with David and Joyce. You can even have made things so that David could be considered "justified" for his actions for the Chloe Haters. And it would have fit within existing continuity. BtS for me is creative fanfiction. It's a story that Chloe tells to Max, making it up out of whole cloth, so that Max is distracted from what happened with the Storm. And I think Max knows it's not the truth. But she lets the story remain because Max has been distracted and is having fun snarking with Chloe while poking holes in her plot.

Honest opinion here about the new “unamed Life is strange Game” since everyone’s talking about it. Maybe on getting new Max and Chloe content?.
I get we’re getting a brand new game but I don’t think it’s gonna be a “after the storm” Since we already got the LIS comics for that.
Tho yes the comics may have stuff that have small gaps in it. It’s good, you can see a part of Max and Chloe story after the storm <3
I see that game more as a new characters, new protagonist. And i would ADORE that. Deck nine always surprises me with the amazing protagonist, scenery, music!! But I think adding more “plot” to a story that already ended would be a no for me. Like continuing max and Chloe story for what reason they already got closure in the comics which (SPOILER ALERT)!!!!
Was so good? After Max came back from the portal. Back home. Back to Chloe!! They got they department together literally living together like a good married WLW couple <3 really sweet ending please don’t ruin that. I would adore seeing the comic animated tho. I think it would be the best time to fill some gaps the comic has.
But if anyone has another opinion I would love to hear!!

This is a really important read. (fyi the title refers to the upcoming LIS, not True Colors)
Rebekkah Valentine is the real deal, she does great fucking investigative journalism.

Honestly it seems like a miracle that True Colors is as good as it is. Fuck Square Enix.

Just played Love is Strange
Bawling. Amberfield* really is an electric combo like I believed
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It gave me the closure I needed. Start living for yourself, Rachel. In my mind this is canon.
Got the date ending. This game characterises Rach so on point, more on this later.
Tumblr media
Truer words have never been said

Rach like you said, you & Chloe should quit smoking :)
But this shot I got I really love. She's let go & she's assured. You are free, RA.
Bawling 2.0/true ending
