we all know i love a good writers game but i've done the wip game so many times that it's genuinely become redundant so i've decided to make my own little game!

rules: share the first line (or two or more!) of every current wip you have (that you feel comfortable sharing) and tag some writer friends! feel free to add the titles of your documents if you see fit

bro she's fucking cold Lucy Heartfilia and the cold were two things that were wholly and completely incompatible. A light breeze at the beginning of fall was enough to have her teeth chattering and she somehow lacked the ability to ever pick a seasonally appropriate outfit at the beginning of the day.

Cuffing Season The warm summer months bring with them a surge of job postings tacked upon the board at the guild, which always have everyone eager to get in on the Jewel rush before settling down as the temperature begins to drop with the change of seasons.

drunk lucy 2 The sunlight that streamed through the window would have been pleasant any other morning—Lucy would have revelled in the light and warmth it provided to her, relishing the feeling for just a moment or two longer than she needed as she snuggled up nice and cosy in her sheets before she woke up, refreshed and ready to take on a new day.

well i can't share the doc name bc thats a surprise so you just have to think one up yourself Somewhere in the drawers of her kitchen lay a scrapbook of all of the recipes Lucy had scrounged from recipe books and magazines over the years.

grocery shopping Natsu wasn’t entirely sure how he’d managed to get himself dragged into this. There were few things he hated more than grocery shopping—there were too many people, and sounds, and lights, and decisions, and food that he couldn’t eat until he got home.

hair time Glancing up at his reflection in the mirror, Natsu dragged his hand through his hair as he made note of his appearance.

insecure natsu teehee Finishing up their job should have been a quick affair. Hand in the bad guys, get the reward money, head back home to Magnolia. Should, being the key word there.

kinktober 19 (this one isn't gonna get done for kinktober sorry lol) Lucy was a creature of routine. Thursdays were her self-care nights—something she made abundantly clear to anyone she thought might interrupt her alone time (Natsu and Happy).

kiss compliation Lucy still felt giddy every time they so much as brushed hands and Natsu never made any attempt to hide the wide grin and heart eyes he sent in her direction every time they were around.

NATSU HAS A BREEDING KINK!!!!! The dialogue and subsequent laugh track playing from the television went in one ear and out the other, little more than background noise as Natsu lazed around on the couch.

natsu is a perverttttt The sigh of relief that Lucy lets out as they step into her apartment is a familiar one—one that Natsu has heard a million times over at the end of the day, after a job well done.

shirt For as much as Lucy loves cute clothes and getting dressed up all nice and pretty, she also values being comfortable—something that some of her cuter clothes do not afford her.

something there that wasn't there before “Knowing not that this was indeed the legendary sword called Excalibur, Arthur tried to pull it from the stone. He tried once, to no avail. He tried a second time, but still he could not pull it out. Then, for the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword-”

Lucy paused her monologue, waiting for her partner to interrupt, as was written in the script, only to be met with silence. Upon looking over at Natsu, she found him lying on the bed lazily looking over the script in hand but clearly not paying any mind to his scene partner.

too many beds The soft tap of fingers against keys filled the quiet as the receptionist looked through the vacant rooms of the inn, Natsu and Lucy waiting patiently on the other side of the desk.

“And was that one bed or two?” The woman asked, looking up at the couple.

“One.” “Two.”

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

you had been doing some spring cleaning around the house whilst your husband severus had been away. he had been at hogwarts, it was the start of the school season and undoubtedly the first day was always the longest.

you had deep cleaned the kitchen and bathroom over the past 3 hours and now it was time to sort the living room and bedroom. you figured that you start big and then go small. so you started on the living room. you took down all the books and wiped down the bookshelves clear of dust. you then took care of the books, they were all pretty easy to clean considering they were all leatherbound.

as you placed all the books on the clean shelves, you found a box, it was a small one and fit around your hand. putting the books down, you opened the box and saw a necklace in there.

at the top of the box it had engraved: ‘to my newly beloved.’ you tilted your head, keeping the box to one side and continued to clean.

you put the box in your pocket and you finished the living room, eventually going to the bedroom to clean away, you changed the duvet covers and pillow cases and swept the floors.

you looked over at the box from time to time, you could have sworn you had another box somewhere.

you looked through your drawers and found another box, only this time with the words: ‘to my newly wedded wife on it.’ another necklace appeared inside the box.

you couldn’t help but let yourself smile, it had been tradition for severus to get you a necklace for every milestone you both reached in your relationships. so once you finished cleaning the bedroom, you looked through everything that reminded you of your first date with severus.

you picked up bits and pieces here and there as you eventually remembered what your date consisted of. putting it all together was probably the best part of your day.

you couldn’t wait to surprise him.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

it had been six years ago where you met severus.

as the hogwarts librarian, you wanted to make sure the books around them were more than accessible to everyone, whether it be through the school’s loaning system or to support those who weren’t able to get specific books for their classes, you knew you were just as important as any other member of hogwarts.

“professor l/n?” a student called, a hufflepuff student.

“oh there’s no need to call me professor, i’m just a simple librarian.” you said.

“but everyone here is a professor, you should be one too.” the student admitted.

“well…perhaps in the near future.” you suggested.

“now you’re here to see me, no doubt.” as you changed the subject with the student.

severus had been strolling by, he watched over your interactions with the hufflepuff.

“so you’re unable to afford the textbook for potions since your parents are out the country and they are the one’s funding your third year?” you asked, making yourself clear of the situation she was in.

the student nodded in shame, ready for you to scald her for such a thing but you didn’t you turned to the other room, eventually you found what you were looking for, you took out the exact potions textbook they needed and handed it to them.

“but but i’ll have to return it-”

“there’s no need, i want to make sure students such as yourselves make sure they are getting the best education there is…so it is yours to keep.” you said.

“oh an extra tip, if you really want to protect this book…use this book cover.” you added, wrapping the book in its cover so it would protected from all things.

“so it can protect me from the rain?” the student asked.

“i’ve heard these book covers will protect you from pretty much anything.” you said, winking playfully at the student who seemed to be overjoyed at the fact that you were giving them this book without any strings attached.

“thank you professor l/n!” the student beamed.

“you’re welcome, oh and just one more thing. here.” you handed them a small packet of lemon sherbets, the student thanked you once more before heading off to their dorms. they timidly greeted the potions professor who had watched everything unfold.

“professor l/n i assume?” severus asked.

“that is me, no doubts i know who you are. severus snape.” you said, flashing a smile at severus.

to which he only acknowledged your smile with a small nod.

“you know you shouldn’t be giving away such valuable things at your own accord, i’m sure dumbledore taught you to control yourself on such…circumstances.” severus said.

“well unlike you…i’m just a simple librarian, my work is very much different unless you would like to swap jobs with me, you can be my guest.” you winked.

“miss l/n over the past few weeks, your job has undoubtedly intrigued me unfortunately i won’t be willing to take over your job…just yet.” severus said.

you only giggled softly.

“are you aware that you’ve given a hufflepuff third year one of the finest and if not a very expensive textbook?” severus asked.

“magical drafts and potions is the title i take it?” you replied.

“you don’t get those for free and you’re handing them out left, right and centre.” severus added.

“are you questioning my job.” you teased.

severus rolled his eyes, letting you slowly explain yourself.

“i’m nothing like the lonely librarian who scalds kids for a book that’s overdue one millisecond late. i want to help these students just as much as you do. there are kids in this school who come by day in and day out on scholarships and hardship funds, they can’t afford to get the latest charms textbook or parchment paper, so i have a duty and i will fulfil it.” you explained.

severus had thought of your response for a moment, for once he actually admired it, though he didn’t dare say such a thing.

“that’s…reasonable.” severus said.

in fact it was quite admirable of you to do.

“and the treats aren’t there as blackmail i take it?” he asked.

“nope…the kids don’t use it against me, lemon sherbet?” you offered him some from the already open packet.

severus looked to the packet and then back at you, your smile still on your face. his demeanour slowly fading away at the seems as he then took a lemon sherbet from your packet.

“will i be seeing you around then severus?” you asked, taking a lemon sherbet for yourself and popping it in your mouth.

“unless you wish to be cooped up in my potions class, then as you say…be my guest.” he said. you let out another giggle as you put some books out on your desk.

“i won’t keep you from your job then.” severus added, looking over at some students who didn’t want to intervene in your conversations.

“it’s lovely to talk to you severus…have a good day.” you said kindly to him, severus only nodded and walked out of the library.

severus still had the lemon sherbet in his hand, he rolled his eyes and put the sherbet in his mouth, grimacing slightly at the sour tinge it had.

perhaps this was a sign that this wasn’t the last time you’d see him.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

since that day he met you in the library, he couldn’t find himself stopping by the library.

this wasn’t part of his routine, but it was slowly becoming apart of his normality.

he was greeted by that warm smile of yours, offering some of your breakfast to which he always refused but knowing you, you always insisted. you would both talk about the day you had ahead, you had the upper hand with a lenient schedule and you couldn’t stress how difficult it would have been if you were in severus’ shoes.

you’d both part ways 15 minutes before classes began, then you’d find each other once more at lunch. you were drawn to the bookshelves lurking around his potions class, occasionally sorting them out or if you were lucky you would find him at the great hall. overseeing the students’ behaviour.

you’d find yourselves in front of severus once more whilst you were doing your job. he would often sit in with you, completely enthralled at how much patience and control you had with these students.

unfortunately severus didn’t have either of these as a trait, but this was severus snape. he had a reputation to uphold.

but as he found himself drawn to the kind hearted librarian, in the moments he was left alone his feelings had been all over the place. he wasn’t harbouring feelings was he?

he rolled his eyes at the concept and continued to his work, the potions ambience surrounded him. bound him to his desk, the cauldrons bubbling sporadically, the fireplace that you generously set up for him, the atmosphere still mesmerized him to this day.

severus heard a knock to the door, growling to himself at the fact that he had been distracted.

“i don’t mean to disturb you but professor l/n wanted to give you this.” the 5th year said, handing him a small package.

perplexity and curiosity were newfound emotions he felt. shooing off the 5th year away, he then sat at his desk unwrapping the paper and there he saw a copy of advanced potions making

severus owned this book in this youth, he used it for his own benefit, making annotations here and there and correcting even the book’s way of potion making, severus took out his own copy and looked at each and every annotation and correction he did.

dear severus,

i hope this finds you well. i heard from a little bird that you’re very familiar with libetius borage’s works. so i rummaged through my stores and i found a second edition copy of advanced potion making.

pretty cool eh?

that little bird also told me that your own copy has most certainly seen its time so i got you this to cherish and look after as well as you did with your own copy.

have a good day!

y/n l/n, librarian.

how did you know this was his favourite book?

he looked at the pages filled with instructions and compared it with his own copy. he’d have to annotate the new copy over again at some point, severus couldn’t stop himself from smirking as he put the books in his personal drawers.

that was what solidified it.

he wasn’t going to hold back on his feelings.

he done it before and he wasn’t going to make that mistake again.

severus grabbed his cloak and made his way to hogsmeade. he looked around each and every shop to find the finest jeweller there was. he looked around the store and looked at the necklaces, picking out a necklace that had a patronus on it accompanied with an emerald beside it.

once he came back, he had to figure out where would be a good time to present this to you. at this moment, he knew inevitably had to ask you the question.

one he always dreaded. not out of spite but it never sounded appealing to him, why was he doing this in the first place?

as the day was slowly drawing to a close, he looked over at the box which had the necklace inside and sighed. he had to do it.

grabbing it, he went to the library and saw you putting some books away. you turned to see him, greeting him with nothing but a smile.

“hi severus, i couldn’t catch you today but i hope you liked the little gift i sent you.” you said.

“i did…thank you for doing something so generous. i must ask you something, it’s very important.” severus asked.

you furrowed your brows and put the books away on the shelf, you let your attention be undivided to severus as you listened.

“y/n…can i call you that?” severus asked cautiously.

you nodded.

“y/n, i have harboured feelings for you but…i find myself unsure, very uncertain of how realistic these emotions i have for you are. so…i ask you if you would…would you like to go on an outing with me?” severus offered.

you were shocked, severus snape had feelings for you? in all honesty, you weren’t sure where you stood with the potions master, but you had nothing to lose.

“are you asking me on a date?” you asked. severus found himself flustered at your own words, you held back a smirk as you took hold of his hand for a moment.

“i’ll go on date with you then.” you whispered, you walked off as you finished your day and turned off the lights in the library and walked off.

you were going on a date with severus snape.

this was actually happening right this second.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

you adjusted your dress once more looking into the mirror. you finished your library duties for the day and you left your chambers.

severus had planned for an afternoon away from hogwarts. you were nervous, that was for sure.

how were you supposed to act around him? what would you say?

as you slowly made your way outside, you saw that looming figure that was severus. he turned back for a moment, and you gave him a warm and shy smile.

“hello.” you greeted, severus took your hand for a moment, and then he rested his lips against your hand.

“you look wonderful y/n.” he said, a sheepish blush appeared to your cheeks as you followed him.

“you don’t look too bad yourself.” you answered.

you followed severus, your hands still intertwined with one another as you sooner or later arrived at a forest.

“look over there! there must be a picnic for us.” you took note at how abandoned the forest was but the sunlight glimmered onto the picnic that was laid out.

“its for us.” severus said.

“no way!” you said as your surprised tone took over completely and you hugged severus/

“all for the both of us…really?” you asked.

he nodded, severus lead you closer to the picnic and you sat down on the rug. you saw the light meals that had been prepared, along with your lemon sherbets.

“i see you’ve been reading as well.” you said as you picked up a copy of shakespeare’s sonnets that you gave to him.

you couldn’t help but smile at this man, he had picked up on everything he did and was always willing to do what he could to make sure you were happy.

you both sat down and at the food that was in front of, nibbling and discussing how beautiful the forest was, among other things but he wanted to keep that hidden for now.

you looked at the book between the two of you, you shifted and handed it to him. you moved a little so that you were rested on severus’ chest. at first severus was a little taken off guard at the position you both found yourself in but then he relaxed. his arm rested on your shoulder playing around with your hair for a while, with the book at hand.

“read them to me.” you pleaded with that puppy dog expression of his which he clearly couldn’t refuse.

severus opened the book as the pages fell onto a sonnet

“a woman’s face with nature’s own hand painted, hast thou, the master mistress of my passion; a woman’s gentle heart, but not acquainted with shifting change, as is false women’s fashion: an eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling, gilding the object whereupon it gazeth; man in hue all hues in his controlling, which steals men’s eyes and women’s souls amazeth. and for a woman wert thou first created; till nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting, and by addition me of thee defeated, by adding one thing to my purpose nothing. but since she prick’d thee out for women’s pleasure, mine be thy love and thy love’s use their treasure.”

severus looked at the pages, turning to another page that revealed another sonnet.

sweet love, renew thy force; be it not said. thy edge should blunter be than appetite, which but to-day by feeding is allay’d, to-morrow sharpened in his former might: so, love, be thou, although to-day thou fill thy hungry eyes, even till they wink with fulness, to-morrow see again, and do not kill the spirit of love, with a perpetual dulness. let this sad interim like the ocean be which parts the shore, where two contracted new. come daily to the banks, that when they see return of love, more blest may be the view; as call it winter, which being full of care, makes summer’s welcome, thrice more wished, more rare.”

he recited the sonnets in that baritone voice of his, you felt a new sensation simply from being around him, the longer you spent with him the love you had for him grew second by second.

you looked up at him, a soft smile appeared as you sat up. you noticed that he was fiddling with the pages of the book, you placed your hands on top of his, stroking his hands softly against your gentle fingers.

“y/n…i must say this, you’re the most beautiful woman i’ve ever laid eyes on…and i want you to be in my life more than before.” severus confessed, your loving eyes never left your face as you beamed and smiled.

“i would love that very much severus. i would love to be with you.” you answered, a smile on both your faces and they weren’t going to leave anytime soon.

“i have something for you.” severus said, you took the box from his grasp and opened it to reveal the necklace he bought for you.

severus helped you put it on and you couldn’t help but kiss his cheek after doing so. then severus cupped your cheek and pulled you into a soft kiss, once he pulled away slowly he looked into your eyes for a moment.

“do you like this…my newly beloved?” he asked.

“i love it severus.” you answered breathlessly.

he pulled you into his warm embrace and couldn’t help but have this smirk on his face.

and quite frankly severus couldn’t wait for the future ahead.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

“sev! you’re home!” you squealed, approaching him and jumping into his arms.

severus let out a deep chuckle as he held you and kissed your cheeks.

“hello my dear.” severus said, as you both let go.

“how was the first day back?” you asked.

“nothing too out the blue, but then again this is hogwarts we’re talking about.” he said, you couldn’t help but giggle at his little remarks.

“ooh ooh, i have a surprise for you.” you said.

severus’ brows furrowed but nonetheless, he followed his beloved wife.

out into the garden and opening the gate, soon closing it afterwards. “now…do you remember our first date?” you asked.

severus nodded, “like the back of my hand.” he answered.

“whilst i was cleaning today, i found the first necklace you ever gave me and it inspired me to this.” you said pointing to the small picnic that was a few seconds away. severus looked at the scene before him, sat down and took in his surroundings.

“you do amaze me every single time my dear wife.” he said, pulling you into a tender kiss.

as you sat in the beautiful forest, severus had spoken about his day and how he had to deal with more new students.

“did you do your annual 1st year speech?” you perked up.

“no i didn’t.”

“i’m not convinced, you do it every year and you love it.”

“i didn’t recite that speech.”

“yes you did.”

“no i didn’t.”

“yes you did.”

“no i didn’t.”

“yes you did.”

“no i didn’t.”

“yes you did.”

“okay i’ll admit it. you have to show the first years who they have to deal with for potions class.” severus caved it.

“i knew it!” you giggled, you then grabbed at his cloak, putting it on and going at a small distance and what you did brought out laughter all round

“there will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. as such, i don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. however, for those select few... who possess, the predisposition... i can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. i can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death.” you impersonated your beloved husband, getting each word of that speech down to the bone.

severus let out laughs that you probably didn’t hear before. you laughed and it made your day instantly better.

you then found yourself relaxing in severus’ arms, much like you used to back on your first date.

“thank you y/n.” severus said.

“thank you for loving me, marrying me.” severus added, kissing your forehead as you both admired the scenery.

“i love you severus.”

“i love you too y/n.”

it happened to be your tradition once a year where you would recreate your first date and every time you were down, you’d always remember how much happiness brought you.

and severus’ happiness was no doubt the most infectious and perfect thing there was in the world.

you’d cherish until death did you part.

1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 23, 25 <3

omg grecia hello teehee <3

1. Which book would you consider the best book you’ve ever read and why?

this is SO HARD... i’m gonna just throw out a few that i would give this title to each for their own reason. pride & prejudice/emma (refuse to choose between), beloved, rebecca, gone girl, the seven husbands of evelyn hugo, americanah, little weirds, the poet x. I KNOW THATS TOO MANY. but i just love books. i just think these all are beautifully written in various ways and are so focused on humanity and the wide range of topics that can cover. they’re all VERY human books.

3. Are there any genres you will not read?

hmm i don’t think i’d totally say no about any genre but i don’t really read like. fantasy very much? i just don’t find it appealing anymore like i did when i was younger.

6. Are you the type of person who will read a book to the end whether you like it or not, or will you put it down straight away if you’re not feeling into it?

i always finish books even if i hate them just bc i need to know exactly why i hate it and i hate when you tell someone you didn’t like something and then tell them you didn’t finish and they’re like maybe it got really good at the end!! how would you know!! so i finish so that i can fully understand just how much i don’t like <3 on the more positive side i trust that a book i want to read will get better! i give them time!

7. answered

8. Do you prefer to read first person or third person?

i prefer third person but neither really affect my enjoyment of the book! i’ll read either

9. answered

10. Bookmarks, dog ears or leaving the novel open and face down to keep your spot?

dog ear if it’s my own book, bookmark if i’m borrowing.

12. answered

23. Nicest edition or cheapest edition?

nicest edition tbh... i like to display them but i usually buy the cheapest edition. if money wasn’t an object then nicest edition lol

25. Do you enjoy concepts in books to be concrete or abstract?

oh hm! i guess it depends on the author! i really like kind of abstract concepts in books and sometimes authors who deal with things concretely feel kind of childish but i think if it’s a good author then i’m just along for the ride no big deal

Hey guys, so Arti just finished book two, and honestly it was great. I got a week of serotonin from that. Currently she's on the third book, and she might want to murder me just a teensy bit after she finishes chapter one/prologue. Teehee. Alex, out!

#Hive #H.I.V.E.#Mod Alex #Yeah she’s coming along with her own rant soon

alright mothers an fuckers lets get down to some PL vs AA

alright so the last person who owned this game has 2 save files, one in the first and one in the third slot, both named chucky. one’s just past the tutorial, the other’s hanging around at some place called ‘knights garrison”

unnerving

i feel like I'm running into a creepy pasta

a work of fiction eh

oh fuck

accent guy no

wee woo wee woo, here come the doll people of Layton Land

oh shit

it’s fully voice acted. i wasn’t expecting this...

aw. i guess i cant do my voices... that stinks.

“fuck you let me sleep forever”

i love him he's so grouchy

true wet blankie

voice wise i like Nick’s but I’m not as much a fan of Maya’s

oh its not fully voiced! great. this is actually kinda nice– i get to do voices, and the dramatic moments have their own dialogue track

ok now that I'm done laughing about the Puzzle memes being very accurate, it’s time to see if i can solve a fucking puzzle

ok. im. already totally mystified. welp.

I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN

once again my inability to parse things renders logic puzzles a bitch

it isn't helpful that they didnt detail the way the witches interact with the paths before submission but

(sigh) i knew the Layton sections would suck

not objectively, just for me because i’m ass at logic puzzles

my expertise lie in point and click adventures

his name is CAR ACCIDENT

carmine: I'm probably fucking dead pls help

layton: well i never!!

layton: it is my belief that you are in quite considerable danger :)

OH GENTLEMAN

WE GOT ONE FOLKS

do towns have districts? i thought that was more of a city thing

THE BOOK

YOU FOOLS

now, once again, i do know some details about how this game concludes, and i must say I'm really curious about how the fuck this all works if its not actually magic

EVIL BOOK ADDED TO INVENTORY

ok so this stained-glass window place is kind of like the logic interface? it stores all the things we’re wondering about at present..?

very howls moving castle-y

also i appreciate the fuck out of these cutscenes

Layton: ,,,yes, that was careless of us

boy this guy has cucumber coolness out the wazoo

the Trunk eh

hint coins are so satisfying to find

aww moving is so cute

holy fuck

that was one helluvan accident

...i really hope they dont count how many tries you do the puzzles

BUT I DID IT

EAT SHIT

OH OK

JUST SOME FUCKIN CTHULU SHIT

THATS FINE

boy people sure like hiding money in lamps

luke!! dont fall into diagon alley!

Luke: this is bad professor!! theyre getting closer and closer!!

Layton: ...hmm................

thats a magic cloak right there

“Isn't this us, Professor?”

“Surely not– my ass is not that flat!”

BADGERS

OMENS OF DEATH

oh here we go

prologue to the AA part

ooh haven't heard that theme in a while

camera: [pans up violently enough to physically ruffle espella’s very short skirt]

oh thems drugged eyes

its in all the animes

hmmm. so is this like a dual world thing where we exist both in our world and the world of Laborynthia at the same time or

ooh english court is pretty

dghfgsh i love nick’s voice so much

much better than Reigel

he’s just got the general feel of Phoenix down better, i think

a cargo of badgers huh

calling it now the badgers are full of jewels

this is straight up The Chipmunk Adventure territory

also i dont blame her for wanting something to cuddle after the shit she’s been through

eee he’s doing his pick-up-quirks-from-other-people thing

oh hey the save sound is the exact same sound as the original.

also thats interesting– there’s a hint system in place in the court sections as well

whoa i wasnt expecting that epic an objection for the first contradiction

also im not sure if i like this remix of nick’s theme. it’s orchestrated but its not quite as crisp as i’d like...

your chocolate bar sounds like a mouthful of chips mr smiley

johnny just has a pile of bars behind him with one bite taken out of them

i love this game but the decision to make the text roll off in this weird, halting way is making it really annoying to read out loud

MAYA WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FUCKING PIPE

“I kind of like living, thanks”

its ok baby nothing can kill you

“in my long, six month career

im crying so many good jokes in this game

whoa phoenix’s shock animation is a lot more violent this game XD

“This is my work outfit. It gets very hot in the kitchen, you know”

it’ll be hotter when you spill soup all over your exposed midriff and arms, babe.

...also is it really ok for you to be toting a meat cleaver around in court

“I may be short, but I’m well-proportioned! And that’s what matters!”

oh maya

“What does it matter which way she held it?” well for starters it would be impossible for her to hit you with it if she held it the way she did

“So the defendant attacked the witness holding the pipe backhanded...”

no, that just doesn’t work out, especially with her being so short. she’d have to be above Aldente to strike her that way, and even so it’s still an extremely cumbersome way to do that. You can only really hold a knife backhandedly

wait a minute

they’re

they’re pointing it out

they’re saying it IS bullshit, they’re-–

s-something that makes no fucking sense, ACTUALLY makes no fucking sense!

its not a plothole! they’re calling it out!

i... i think I'm in love

that poor eel

also phoenix is a sea urchin again teehee

fuckin’ knew it

chipmunk adventure.

ok so wow. this is really amazing. maybe im being extra-complementary cause i just finished SOJ but... wow. everything from the soft colours and gorgeous lighting to the excellent cinematography to the fluid, interesting character sprites, to the pretty orchestral remixes to the fun and engaging writing, to the spectacular cutscenes... its all just so excellent it feels like a friggin gale of fresh air compared to SOJ

and this game came out in 2012. thats four years before SOJ, and just one before DD, and yet the difference is staggering. i don’t know if its a budget thing, or if its the director’s fault, but theres just something about the animation and camera angles thats so much better. everything is so smooth– no character ever jumps from animation to animation– they slide into it naturally

and the slow pan-up on Aldente as she got cornered was pretty good at conveying a real sense of anxiety

plus, the fact that we don’t find out who tried to kill her is genuinely unsettling. PLvAA doesn’t need to be bloody or gorey to convey a sense of uneasiness or fear– just that lingering mystery of a fourth person– and where they disappeared to– is enough to give me the shivers. ...although it is 1 am and I'm prone to being nervey

i have only 2 tiny nitpicks, these being the sequencing of the music (cuts off very abruptly rather than fading away) and the odd way the dialogue halts all over the place for no reason

otherwise, sublime first case

ps- still love nick’s new voice. dreamy, if a little stiff

pps- espella you cant just leave evil books lying around.
