That could be it! Trends taking longer to get onto the island, while today technology makes it come instantly.

I thought the vinyl was interesting because in my own experience the only people with vinyl are either musicheads or audiophiles. It would be cool if the characters were, but it's also possible it was inherited. Perhaps vinyl is popular in the design because it looks cooler/more obvious in terms of aesthetic. Vinyl does look cooler in characters homes rather than a CD stand. Or perhaps some developer bias has shown through...

The family picture of Pablo and Rafael made me start thinking about how old characters are and when the game takes place. I’m certain we will never get a specific age or time but we can make guesses. The game is definitely post-2000s (due to the clothes and technology present) and there are also references to 19XX multiple times.

The main thing about the family photo is that it looks like it was taken in the 80s or even in the late 1970s based on their mom’s glasses. However, their dad’s hairstyle (short in the front, long in the back) was popular in the 1980s and had fallen out of favor in the 90s. Which ultimately means that both Pablo and Rafael were probably born in the 1980s or perhaps 70s depending on exactly when the photo was taken.

Let’s say for arguments sake that the photo was taken 1990 and Pablo at the youngest is 10 (born 1980), that would still make him in his 40s by 2020 or in his 30s in the 2010s (which I find probable if the game takes place in the 2010s).

[Edit: Having gone and checked, the photo says 19XCVI which could translate to 1996. But, it’s odd that the year is obfuscated in such an obvious way as with easily translatable roman numerals. If it is roman numerals, then does that mean you can translate all the other dates with roman numerals too? Or is it just this one? If it’s just this one, then why just this one and why hide it behind something so easy? Moreover, why is the fashion inconsistent with the date?]

But then again, magic and gods exist in this world so who’s to say that the timeline is the same as ours. Something I also noticed was that a lot of townsfolk have vinyl records and vinyl record players despite CDs taking over the market (outside of music fans who still stick with vinyl in some cases). Plus, I believe that the image is intentionally nebulous to keep the game “out-of-time” so to say. Does anybody have other facts or guesses?

It might just be me then lol. That's not what my family dressed like. It reminds me of all the photos we have from the 80s. I asked my mom about it since I thought it was odd and she's the one who thought of the 70s. My parents are Danish and Polish so maybe they have different experiences with the fashion at the time. Plus, my parents were in the US at the time so that might be why they have different experiences. The 90s makes sense timeline-wise since then Pablo would be in early-mid 30s if the game took place in the 2020s. I still can't get over the way the picture was dated as 19XCVI though. 👀

#i will admit the 1970s felt off for a date on the photo #the 80s and 90s are a manageable time frame though #super interesting to hear from others as i thought there was something interesting with the photo #but why roman numerals???? #coral island #pablo sanchez #rafael sanchez #meta #theory #reblog

There's something incredibly funny about Lasombra couriers who were esteemed members of the Sabbat who aren't allowed to talk about it or gloat because you know, and every time someone calls them a 'nobody shovelhead' they're just like:

Sullivan: Yeah I'm Camarilla now, kinda glad to be away from those psychopaths in the Sabbat.

Someone: Well you weren't REALLY Sabbat because you never got initiated --

Sullivan: FUCK YOU

#lettow: you were never sabbat you were just some shovelhead #lasombra courier: back in the sabbat i would've cracked your head like an egg gangrel boy #the oblivion scholar background makes me emo #like that one line about how your courier wandered the empty halls of the sabbat strongholds just remembering... damn #really feeling sullivan right now / as would my courier #not to be old and crotchety but back in the sabbat- #wish we got to see more of sabbat millicent too #vtm #vampire the masquerade #vtmnr #vtm night road

#the funniest thing about this is that depending on your lasombras background they could of been true sabbat #like at least two backgrounds make it clear your character is being groomed to be an important member of the sabbat #the oblivion scholar background literally says that the sabbat elite respected you and invited you to their discussions #shovelheads don't get to do that #there is some hilarious about people blowing off lasombra couriers for being a shovelhead when they could of been a menace #i love that the lasombra courier was a member of the sabbat #vtm #vampire the masquerade #vtmnr #vtm night road #sabbat #lasombra

anyways the bond that shepard and joker share is so underrated. they care about each other so much. 🥺🥺🥺

#someone once said that shepard/joker were drift compatible #and... yeah #shepard and joker GET each other #my favorite scene has to be the one before landing on ilos #everyone else is arguing about landing but shepard/joker just communicate #joker says he can do it and shepard TRUSTS him #they put their life/their squad's lives/the galaxy's lives in his hands because shepard trusts joker #also joker's goodbye in me3 is the only one that gets me #he gets up and salutes shepard #i have a mod that restores a paragon action during joker's final goodbye where you shake hands with him and #shepard and joker share more respect/trust/care in their faces during that handshake than any of the canon romance scenes #and the scene where he has to leave shepard behind on the crucible... #he's so desperate / his voice literally breaks when the chosen companion tells him to go #plus the fact that they go to a fancy restaurant with each other and hangout for 10min before even asking what's up is amazing #whether or not you see shoker as romantic is unimportant #those two are drift compatible in a profound way #every time i think i've left shoker hell these fucking games drag me back #we was robbed #i'll never forgive bioware for making him unromanceable #nor will i forgive them for writing him like THAT in me2 and me3 #mass effect #joker #jeff moreau #jeff joker moreau #commander shepard #shepard

children clearly understand just fine but it’s astonishing to me how many otherwise sensible adult people don’t GET that traditional “redemption arcs” (very christian idea) arent really applicable structures in either steven universe or she ra, both of which have a central moral thesis that evil isn’t something you ARE it’s something you DO, and (up to a point) can choose to stop

#yep #it's exhausting to watch fandom circlejerk to moral superiority with this shit #people will go on and on about how leftist/progessive/moral they are #but the moment a character isn't 100% good they immediately demand violent punishment #(and these people always claim to be anti-death penalty or believe in restorative justice too) #and the amount of graphic description some will get into over a fictional character... #it's especially tiring when a character is remorseful and/or going through redemption already #yet to meet someone like this who wasn't fucking awful #video games #redemption #punishment
