Honestly, i respect the hell out of just how involved the game forces you to be with seeking mr eaten
Like, when i first started playing, i was having a good time, yknow? Then i discovered u could seek mr eaten, and like, im curious, of course im curious, but theres piles of warnings on that story and when i went to look it up as like, idk risk investigation, i found out that (spoilers btw) it would lose me my character, like my character would just be gone, idk how or why and i dont want to know without seeing it myself, but i knew my character would be for all practical purposes gone if i did it
And like, by this point i was already attached, yknow? I liked this character, i was doing my best, i was being a slut down in veilgarden and trying to become a master criminal on the side, i was having fun and way too emotionally attached to this character to sacrifice them, yknow
But the mystery, the intrigue, what in the name of the masters happened in the seeking mr eaten story???? I had to know
So what i did, was i made a seperate account, a sacrificial lamb, if you will, specifically to seek mr eaten with, i thought that id just dive directly into seeking mr eaten and like, kill off this character or condemn them or whatever horrid fate would happen to them, and I'd get to know the mr eaten story without risking my emotionally invested account, pretty standard strat in these kinds of risk storyline yknow, just make a throwaway to experience it with
Except! Except! That didn't work!
See, to seek mr eaten, you need high stats, you need resources, you need knowledge, you need a large variety of things that u just dont have and dont have the ability to get in the early game, i didnt get anywhere at all by trying to jump right in, my sacrificial lamb could not be sacrificed
So i start playing with her, and playing, and im choosing choices i didnt in my first go and focusing on stats i hadnt on my other account, and suddenly im invested in this character too, they arent a sacrificial lamb anymore, they came down to the neath to hunt down their nemesis, they were a mother whose child was murdered, she was ruthless and practical, cruel at points but not without reason, had a soft spot for children, i had like a whole mental storyline for her
And i went oh. Oh.
Fallen london absolutely forces you to get invested in your characters before youre allowed to seek mr eaten, they will not allow you to remain distant, the really extremely common strat that works in any other game to experience the 'bad route' by making a stupid trash character just wont work, is absolutely foiled!, by fallen london
Fallen london gives you a route it says will take everything from you, and then forces you to gather things to lose if you want to experience it, and i respect the hell out of that

The 'Quagmire' episode had me laughing so hard bc mulder and scully getting stranded on that rock was basically a really convoluted version of the only one bed trope and for WHAT REASON? So that they could talk about cannibalism and moby dick

The Wild King By @mystic-findings-collection
Splinter would read to his sons every night before bed. Stories of cats in boots, science and animal facts, and fairy tales where unicorns and dragons reside. Over time however, Splinter had drifted away from them more and more, being too attached to mindless television to even look at them anymore. Leo seeks to change this, but once faced with troubling truth, he runs away to where the wild things are.
Yellow Skies By @super-weed-ninja
In this au, instead of being mutated directly into teens, the turtles mutate as young children. Splinter raises them alone until they're about 7, when they meet April O'Neil, an aspiring reporter looking for a good scoop to jumpstart her career. A little family of mutants living in the sewers might be the perfect story, if only she didn't up loving them like her own family.

I'm having thoughts, about the fact that Suvi's default position when getting Ame's note is to not trust it and think Ame lied to her for their own personal gain. Like nothing Ame has done up to this point warrants that distrust, I don't remember a time when Ame has lied to Suvi. Ame has always tried to be upfront with her which has led to some tension. But Suvi, is always lying, always twisting the trust to suit her needs, lying to herself, the people around her, to get whatever she needs. Whatever she wants. I just think the position of complete mistrust towards others that have never given you reason to mistrust is such a reflection of yourself.
I also think Suvi's constant combativeness and mistrust of Ame and her intentions is both a reflection of her own faults and a result of her insecurity. But ALSO that Ame poses a threat to Suvi's understanding of herself and the world. Whether that is a subconscious knowing, or a conscious one, I think on some level Suvi knows that Ame doesn't see the world the same way she does, and will challenge her on it and whilst so far Suvi has managed to one up her and shout her down and stay one step ahead, she won't be able to do that forever. Because Ame was always wise when they were kids, Ame was always steadfast, and Ame sweet wonderful Ame always learnt so. Damn. Fast. And that is a problem for Suvi.

I just rewatched Everything Everywhere All At Once (which is easily in my top 5 movies of all time), and I was just thinking about Jordan Li watching this movie for the first time. Maybe as like, a movie night with Marie.
Just getting super into the story, marveling at the fight scenes, the characters, etc.
They both definitely cried, like, a bunch. And laughed, just as much.
Marie would notice how much Jordan was being affected and would end up just holding them and comforting them.
And they just kinda sit there after the movie's over, processing the masterpiece they had just witnessed.
I can see them needing like a week to recover from that movie, lol. (I know I did).
[Seriously tho, if you haven't seen this movie, go watch it. It made me cry my eyes out one second and laugh the next and question life all at the same time. Perfection. Also, Michelle Yeoh is Queen 👑]
