phantom hourglass might not be the worst game ever made or even that I've ever played BUT it has the honor of being the first game I ever truly rage quit bcs it made me so upset that I still have a grudge against it TO THIS DAY and that counts for something
Do you guys ever think about Rana?
How she was only in Minecraft for about a month, and still to this day is remembered fondly in the hearts of many.
How one of the very first documented fanarts for the game featured her and (Indev) Steve together.
How she is such an integral part of the history of the game, and yet is still seldomly known.
How she's been so wiped away by official sources, the only way we still remember her existence is through internet archival and word of mouth.
How she was the frog mob in Minecraft many, many years before frogs were truly implemented. That she carried apples and roses with her, back when roses sprouted one by one out of the ground. That you would have to slay her to even know such a thing.
There was once a brief point in time where we could play with her character model. She did not move the way she was supposed to, as her animations never properly displayed, but she moved anyway. She had maxed out stats that meant nothing and could not properly equip anything, but that was okay. We loved her anyway.
Do you think if Steve could talk, he would tell us about his first friend in green? Of the very short lived adventures they had together in a newly forming world? Do you think he would even remember after all this time, the same way many of us don't?
Do you think she remembers the short time we could play together?
Do you think she remembers us too?
Y'know I really feel like Harry and Dave's relationship goes highly unexplored which is a shame because there IS quite a bit to explore, ESPECIALLY if you care about shipping. But as the game stands I mean, they must be aware of each other. Harry in fact definitely knows about Dave. I don't think he'd tell the fucking weird rotten bunny his terrible boss brought in IS the number one threat against Freddy's since day 1 but even so. Dave I don't think would see Harry as much more than A Phoney™ though, which is always more of an obstacle and way less of a person. Which is usually opposite of how Jack sees his often sole employee. Like, you get what I mean? It's almost similar to 2 with the main opposing routes being Peter and Dave except the stakes are arguably way lower now.
