Two girls in cursed manor 🔮🦇

While I had played the "Secret of the Old Clock" and "The Secret of Shadow Ranch" hundreds of times, my classmates were thrilled by "Curse of Blackmoor Manor".

And I didn’t understand why: the only things I liked about it was Mrs. Drake’s greenhouse and a parrot. For the rest of time, I’ve been suffering from that stupid maze and endless games Jane forced us play.

In general - not my cup of tea Several years later, it would not have occurred to me to play this game voluntarily if it were not for my friend. And you know what? I was excited about the ambience and music, how many interesting details and secrets the manor was hiding, how much I didn't noticed as a child! My bestie made a poster with us in the lead role - two girls searching for treasure in a cursed old manor ⋆｡°✩

Opinions can really change over time, but who you play with is more important. Ber.

"Ain't No Love in Oklahoma" - Nancy Drew/Scott Varnell fanfiction

A great news for my Russian-speaking subscribers - I have finished writing a fanfiction based on the Nancy Drew game "Trail of the twister" with a Nancy Drew/Scott Varnell ship (forgive me lord) I couldn't stop myself. I reimagined the story and the character when I re-played this game as an adult, and a lot of things inside me rebelled. I refuse to accept the ending offered by the game, and I offer you my own vision. I hope you'll enjoy it  🌩

"She's an amateur detective, and he's the main suspect. Nancy Drew is the correct to the core daughter of a lawyer, while Scott Varnell is a stubborn and determined stormchaser who has lost his sense of life and is disillusioned with everything around him. How will Nancy's investigation unfold, and what has Scott been going through all this time?" Read it here: https://zahleb.me/works/TGf5pSp55w/3WEYJKDKx5 or here : https://ficbook.net/readfic/019be656-a1f0-79ef-acb3-259a9fdfd29a  🌩 let me know if you'd be interested in reading this work in English, and I'll put all my skills together and translate this fanfiction

Hey! It’s Ber here! Nothing warms the body and soul on a cold winter evening like clam chowder🦪🍲

it is not the original Jenna Dublin's recipe (she keeps it safe like Mr. Krabs), but it's also easy to make and pretty delicious.

I used the recipe from this video (also I added some shrimps and I did not use celery)

The plot of Nancy Drew games summed up in a sound 💀💙

slowly turning my 2022/2023 dayplanner into a collage/art book, now including these DDI and SHA inspired pages. thanks to notprincehamlet for the idea of using supplies you already have on hand to make something based on an nd game, and to hotchkiss-and-tell whose clk collage also provided inspiration. definitely check out what they made bc they're much more polished than mine

Nancy Drew : The Secret Of Shadow Ranch — Day 10

@drewtober

Somehow, this game went from being just a good game to being especially enjoyable one for me

Maybe it's the Wild West or the animals on the ranch, but I already have two handmade items from this game: the recipe box and the wallet.

I should make a post about them

Nancy Drew : Secret Of The Scarlet Hand — Day 6

In the university of Linguistics we studied the Spanish language as well as the history of Spain and the culture of indigenous people of South America, so I can easily say that Mesoamerican civilisations (mayans, aztecs, Incas) are my Roman Empire.

I enjoyed this part of the series and still somehow remember the name of Pacal's mother and the beauty standards of that time. I tried to draw the temple complex in Palenque and the portrait of king Pakal. What is more it's a combination of a carved portrait and a jade funerary jewellery mask both founded in the crypt of the Temple of the Inscriptions. All of this has a direct connection to the game and the hieroglyphic puzzle.

I hope I've managed to capture the puzzle and love for this game. I also really hope to one day write a short review of Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto," which is also an interesting film with its representation of the indigenous Mayan people.

But for now semper ubi sub ubi

Ber.

I watched this masterpiece just yesterday and my heart aches from the realization that we will never see a sequel (despite the presence of concept art and a main synopsis) . How did a film that has been worked on for so long fail so badly at the global box office? (no more faith in humanity)

Anyway, Jim and Amelia are still my crushes, the details of this world are amazing, and I'm ready to read fan fictions , because I need moooree Treasure Planet content
