Forever
Because I wanted to see if I could pull it off and because I still think MoM should have had an ending like this, I wrote a short "Alex does a canabalism" or at least that's what I first dropped in the note when I decided to write this so this is very much everyone dies territory, hope you enjoy how it's written
@kassiekole22 @delurkr @tatjana-fantasy @qusok @unhingedlesbear @ctrvpani @kindheartedgummybears @blubary @tinynightmarewoman @mybrainrotforreal
Terror fills every fibre of Alex's being as that familiar feeling claws inside…
He'd made it go away, for a little while… His own face stared back in disapproval as he quietened that desperate need… Shattered glasses and twisted metalic taste… He was not ready when the curtain fell and could not return… What would their mother say? Seeing him now… Scavenger… Little more than a carrion creature… Haunting unending halls until all sense flees from him…
He sees her. face flushed prettily, tear stained as her grief echos over and over… Alone together, promises made bellow, reaffirmed above, entwined in the light of the sun. Faith. Tested in the dark as the hollow feeling sets in…
Relentless in their nature, those that came before follow…
The scent of decay cloying, clawing, crawling within him. Tearing at him… Engulfed in primal desperation. Contorted. Twisted painfully turned around as they blame him, denounce him and degrade him.
He sees her, holds her as she melts into him. Delicate fingers adorned as soft orange hues wash over her, rocked by the waves. Sunset caught in her golden hair, fading light in her eyes as she smiles brightly…
But in darkness he is tempted, temporary, tensions taut before he breaks… He shouts at the apparitions that trouble him, kicks and screams and fights for some sense of self to return… To before… She fled from his sight for what he must do to settle his emptiness. Quite. Alone. A thing in the darkness… He was a person once. Just as those who stalk his every step were once more than faded names on crumbling pages… So far removed from themselves… From himself as they damn him…
…but it is different this time…
Warmth spreads throughout him, under and within, a familiar scent soothes his troubled soul… flesh torn asunder as limbs fall silent, waves wash over him, gentle heat fades away in the stillness… Golden sunlit sky painted red as dusk settles apon him… He cherishes the dying rays, taking the last heat of dimming embers into himself… Holding onto this last good thing for as long as he is able…
He lay on his back as the cool night air fills his lungs… Stars stretch out endlessly above, drifting away from the rest of the world… He reaches out to the moon shining brightly apon the deck, pure silver light as the sun gives him this last gift in absence of day… Tainted hands, hazy memory… A glimmer of something apon his finger tugs dully at something far away. Peace. He sinks into warm darkness… So little left as he's engulfed in this last flicker of recognition… Her name was Julia and she was everything to him, eternal companion, forever with him and within him…
Old bones of young lovers, bleached in the blazing sun, cracked and scattered in the darkness… Blurring one into another, joined in flesh, wed in spirit… Condemnation… Completion…Catharsis… A single glittering jewel remains amongst the rust and decay… Vows unspoken… Forever.

One of my "littles hopes" for The Casting of Frank Stone, Directive 8020 and beyond:
Please continue the trend of having at least one playable character whose name starts with a J. So far, I liked every single one of them for different reasons. <3

JULIA because @unhingedlesbear literally just made a post saying her name with a bunch of hearts and it inspired me somehow.

Since she can mention wanting to keep her last name because she's already making a career with it

1858 Carvers
Tumblr media
Continuing with my Tilly Johnson era of doubles, here is Solomon Carver, owner of Ravenden factory, and his wife Mona Carver. Solomon is the double of the canon Carvers and Leonard Carson, and Mona is built off the idea of Simon's wife Madeleine who was kidnapped in 1690.
Starting with Mona - Her face is based on the Julia model (basically because Marie Whitman in TDiM happens to be a Julia model and is married to Jeff who's a Carver model) and I tried to age her up a bit and borrowed from Marie's and Julia's outfits for her design:
Pink with knotted trim reminiscent of Julia's pink knotted t-shirt
Her brooch is a landscape painting similar to that t-shirt's graphic (minus the surfer ofc lol)
Her net overlay is inspired by Julia's black top with the openwork design
Blue belt and white (under)sleeves similar to Marie's
No hat because I didn't wanna. A hat would have been required but I have my priorities (curly hair✨), but she does have gloves, which are the random yellow color that was a thing in the mid-1800s
Solomon -
Black because he's in mourning. Mona dies in 1858 and his father was murdered by his evil son died some time before, so mourning is his vibe
Super wide hatband as was customary when a man was mourning his wife
His watch chain is made out of Mona's hair. He cares about her death to some degree so I thought it would be interesting. (Hair jewelry was a thing in the 1800s, not always because the person was dead)
Fancy cane is fancy. It's made out of wood and whalebone, because the whaling industry in the 1800s was centered nearby on the Massachusetts coast and a lot of crafty whalebone products came out of that
Also I don't know how tall the C's are supposed to be but in my mind Mona is tiny so that's where the height difference comes from 😁

man of medan review thingy *SPOILERS*
i literally just finished mam of medan today after starting it in the morning and i do have to say that i kinda agree with people when they say this game is underwhelming
(can i just say that this is my personal opinion, i am in no way shape or form a game reviewer this is just for fun)
PROLOGUE
firstly, lets talk about the prologue. i actually liked the prologue it was paced well (and we saw joe aka the soldier with the same face model as jason but thats unrelated), the tutorials were actually fun and it set the 'mystery of the ship' up well.
ACT 1
although, i do have to say that i liked act one for the most part but it just drags for SO LONG. theres 5 whole chapters of all the characters talking to each other and 'getting to know' each other with only 1 of those chapters having any important relation to the later game and the other 4 being filler. and can i just add that obviously julia and conrad are brother and sister and alex and brad are brothers and fliss is the only new person. so i dont really think 5 chapters should have been used on introduction because NEARLY EVERY CHARACTER HAS SOMEONE THEY ALREADY KNOW. and before people start saying "but brad and julia have never met before!" or "but conrad only knew julia at the start of the game!" i know that but julia literally said that alex has told her loads about brad, so im sure not much of an introduction is needed and conrad was focused on fliss in all of the chapters so that solves the issue of them not knowing everyone because at least fliss had someone to talk to.
i think that there should have been a maximum 3 chapters spent on introduction and the other four left in act one should have been spent on introducing the pirates and the threat they bring. however i did enjoy that not all characters got along at first and you could really take different routes with everyone and establish relationships that will have an effect later in the game.
ACT 2
i do have to say that i enjoyed act two a lot, its probably my favourite act in the game. but my god it is long. theres 11 chapters in total (counting echo and finding friends as 1 chapter as they are interchangeable) and they arent memorable at all, at least not the beginning anyway. i felt like they were trying to establish two threats at once, the pirates and obviously the ss ourang medan. but it just didnt really work, there were too many things being introduced at once because the pirates werent properly introduced in act 1. which caused the beginning of act 2 to just feel way too busy.
on a more positive note, the later chapters i really enjoyed. i think its because the pirates took a step back from being a threat and the game really started to focus on the ship itself and the mystery around it. i really liked that they decided to sprinkle in the characters hallucinating and that the player could really have a chance to figure it out and put all the clues together. i think out of all the chapters in the game glamour girl and echo are my favourites just because of the really cool gameplay and suspense, especially in echo i LOVED that they added a time loop in the game. it just made it feel a lot more creepy and mysterious.
ACT 3
boring asf. the pacing in this game is so weird in every act, the first two felt like they went on forever and were way too long but act 3 felt like literally nothing happened. and thats because BASICALLY NOTHING HAPPENED. the only things i can really recall is the group using the radio, the junior bit (way too many opportunities to die can i just add) and the alex segment, which some people dont even get to play.
i didnt even realise that the first two chapters were different because literally nothing seperates them from each other. this is a theme in act 3, all of the chapters feel like a blur and mushed together and it just feels really short and kind of boring to play.
THE END
i dont really know how to feel about the ending because there are so many of them (7 in total). so im just going to talk about the one i got (the entire group escaped on the duke of milan and julia didnt die).
this ending just feels so blah and empty, like the characters just escape and everythings fine now no repercussions at all! naur. absolutely not. thats so incredibly wrong and not what would have happened. at least one of them (probably conrad lmao) would have gone on the news or smth and told people what happened because why wouldnt you?
i just really wish we got an actual conclusion, like how everyones lives are going, what they are doing now, if theyre still affected by what happened and how. this honestly goes for all supermassive games, I WANT TO KNOW HOW THE CHARCTERS ARE AFTER. this might just be me saying this because i want to see more salim and jason but thats beside the point lol.
finally i just want to say that the creatures being hallucinations was sucha BORING ENDING. the whole game you are trying to escape these creatures and they just end up not being real??? pussy ending if you ask me.
i do have to say that i find it really cool that a choice you make at the start of the game (julia surfacing too quick in Dive and her drinking the beer in Ghost Story) can have such an impact in the end (if she did the previous things she will die of decompression sickness/ the bends in the ending.
RANDOM SHIT
i think in my playthrough i found around 26-28 secrets, 4 black pictures, 3-4 white pictures and i didnt get the gold picture. this might just be my horrific looking skills but also i think its because the secrets in this game are so hard to find??? plus, sometimes going into a certain room, picking something up or taking too much time can result in the next chapter to automatically happen. i think this feature is so shit and unbelievably tedious to put in the game. i remember at least two instances where ive seen secrets and pictures that i want to go pick up but was not able to because i walked into a room or i picked something up (fliss in the ballroom hallucination and brad a julia trying to find the generator (it was brad and julia for me)).
i much prefer in house of ashes it shows that if you pick this thing up or go into the next room you cant go back, and all the secrets in house of ashes arent impossible to find.
CONCLUSION
man of medan isnt a bad game, i enjoyed playing it and personally i thought it was scarier than house of ashes, but the pacing, ending and exploring mechanics just made it kind of annoying to play at some instances.
EXTRA
CHARACTER RANKING
Fliss (love her, exasperated queen)
Conrad (funny man, again glamour girl is so good)
Julia (laid-back, has some flaws which is essential, used to be my number 1)
Brad (nerdy little brother whos scared of everything and wears glasses trope, but was pushed to 4 because of echo)
Alex (nothing really going on about him, was kinda rude to brad at the start)
honestly alex and brad are interchangable
RATING
4/10 / 2 1/2 stars
if you have read this far thank you for listening to me yap for 1,247 words, love you <333

D- Do you think Conrad's line warning Julia about Alex being a "lady-killer" is foreshadowing how Alex can potentially kill Julia or Fliss in the Matters of the Heart chapter?
It was probably just a throwaway joke from him, but still, do you think??
