Intro post maybe

Minor but fine with adults interacting

If you don’t want me around, Just block don’t report, I’ll never intentionally follow accounts just to break their dni or rules

That also means I can’t help with your fund raisers and kickstarters etc etc and I’m sorry about that. I’d appreciate it if I stopped getting them because there’s nothing I can do but I understand the people sending them aren’t always in a position to read these sorts of thing💚

Lmk what actually goes in an intro post because I have no idea

Tags because everyone has them and I’m just a sheep

#megareblogs - self explanatory

#meganalysis - analysis or just rambles about games (literally only mouthwashing I think)

#megarticulates - usually rant type posts

#megasks - self explanatory

#megames - rare gaming content sort of thing (just pictures of sky cotl right now)

I’m like if a super huge tv (a mega tv if you will) came to life and the newscaster is me and the game show host asking questions about topics you couldn’t possibly know about is me and the reruns of old movies is me and Netflix is me and the documentaries are me and NHK world Japan is me

Genuine question but does post-crash Curly have an eyelid??

Sure there’s a whole meaning about now he’s forced to watch the consequences of his actions of letting Jimmy run around the ship after previously ignoring it and turning a blind eye (see what I did there). Now that he’s made a choice the game makes damn sure he sticks with it.

There is nothing left for him to do but watch what he has allowed to happen because his eye is the only thing he can really use on his own. He’s now a spectator in his own body, forced by Jimmy to take the pills, forced by Jimmy to eat his own flesh and forced by him to stay alive. Jimmy is the captain now and makes almost every choice for him, whether he wants that or not. The monster he allowed or just down right ignored (whether or not Curly could’ve actually done anything is actually difficult to say because of the way Pony express is and also the limited options on the ship. Be 100 percent aware I don’t completely blame curly in the slightest!!!) is now his saviour of sorts. And he has to live with the fact that he is only alive because Jimmy let him. That all he can do is watch the man that massacred his friends and caused their deaths save his life. You’re saved by the people you save.

But also his eye must be fucking dry?? Like eyeballs are no joke they gotta stay moist and if you don’t blink bacteria will start climbing in there and rooting around as they do after like a few weeks let alone a few days

ALSO THIS IS A VIDEO GAME SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF AND ALL THAT STUFF !!!!

(Also reached my first 100 likes a couple days ago!! Thank you guys so much hehe)

I don’t think you really get a real sense of what Anya is like as her own person. STAY WITH ME PLEASE THIS IS NOT AN ANYA HATE POST I LOVE HER!!

It’s just that she’s under so much emotional stress due to being around her abuser and also being pregnant that we never get to see who Anya is. She’s always on edge and nervous (for 100 percent good reason !!) Plus being through the perspective of Jimmy mainly doesn’t help us seen who she really is.

We don’t see her as a capable and competent nurse because of the way Jimmy frames her, the way he talks about her when in his perspective and the way he treats her. I didn’t really think about how capable a nurse she was because it’s hard to keep somebody in Curly’s conditions ALIVE with limited resources because it’s never mentioned by Jimmy even once. All he sees are her faults because it allows him to feel better about what he did to her, allows him to just see her as not really a human who has prospects and a good future in nursing ahead of her.

Jimmy just wants to take everything from her that could’ve made her human in his eyes so he can feel better about what he did, so he doesn’t feel guilt and doesn’t feel the need to take responsibility. He acknowledges Curly being a ‘hero’ and a good person and (not sure if this an actual quote from the game or if I’m just stupid) that he can’t be half the man Curly was and that’s only because he believes that’s something he can ‘fix’ by putting him in the cryochamber.

ANYWAY main point is that Jimmy is unreliable narrator and attempts to take away Anya’s achievements by not acknowledging them so he can view her simply as an object which lets him feel better about what he did.

Swansea appreciation because him killing Daisuke is just the ultimate merciful action in my eyes? Not being selfish enough to let someone you love slowly die just because you want more time with them, or holding on to false hope while only putting them in pain is so hard !!!

Especially when Jimmy could never have done something like that, never taken responsibility for ending someone’s life even if it’s for a good reason, you can see that in his reaction to it. JIMMY IS LITERALLY SO UNFIT TO BE CAPTAIN IT IS UNREAL!!! Instead of making the hard decisions, He says he can fix it, holding on to false hope so he can ease his own conscience but at this point nobody’s believing him.

He can’t keep saying he’ll fix it and they’ll believe it, like they believed it when he twisted Curly’s story about not being sure he wants to do the job anymore AND ALSO AND ALSO WHEN SWANSEA SAYS ‘YOU CAN TELL THE WHATEVER THE HELL STORY YOU LIKE’??? Like at that point he’s very aware of Jimmy’s manipulation now

The action of Swansea killing Daisuke lets him believe he can kill Swansea, just like how he excuses him causing Curly’s injuries because Curly is a ‘bad person’ and was going on to bigger and better things. It’s just all excuses with Jimmy

Anyway Swansea is such a good character and I love him and we need more Swansea fans💕

Also he’s such a dilf WHAT WHO SAID THAT???

I’m probably gonna keep mouthwashing posting til I die

Jimmy just constantly gets away with it, again and again. Even when he dies it’s a form of getting away with it. That’s what I think is so ironic about his death, he KILLS HIMSELF instead of getting in that cryochamber. He doesn’t get in that cryochamber and if they get saved 20 years down the line, tell those people what actually happened to the tulpar crew.

He just passes off responsibility on to Curly by putting him in that cryochamber who can’t even tell anybody. (Not saying Jimmy should’ve been the one to go in there but whatever I don’t have a better alternative) It lets Curly live with his actions, maybe because he was the one that let this happen but also you can’t blame him for everything and his fate isn’t completely deserved. His fate isn’t a form of karma because we don’t take joy from his suffering !!!

Jimmy just can’t even take responsibility right and turns escaping his actions into some kind of heroic act just like how he twists the image of Curly in his mind to be a bad person to justify his actions. It’s all just a justification sort of thing I think? Correct me if I’m wrong haha

There’s probably more stuff to be said about his death that tbh I can’t really phrase right☹️

Just a little stupid ramble about my favourite game rn and now I swear I’ll shut up forever 👍

OKAY OKAY WAIT

Thank you TikTok comment for helping me realise this (I have never had a single original thought and for that I do not apologise) but when Swansea puts the axe into the screen thing, it’s directly into the sun, right?

JUST LIKE HOW HE KILLS DAISUKE WITH THE AXE

‘YOU USELESS RAY OF GOD DAMN SUNSHINE’ LIKE HELLO??? SUBTLE FORESHADOWING

THIS GAME IS EVERYTHING
