i am young, and unspoilt, and in love, full of terror, and prayer, and yearning.

to me, chloe is the moon, rachel is the stars, and max is the sun. because the stars are the moon’s constant companion, beautifully lighting up the sky and making sure the moon is never alone, but the moon still circles and chases the sun, who are so apart but still try to be so close.

I saw this image, blacked out for a few seconds and when I woke up I'd ordered the deck. The rest of it goes EXACTLY AS HARD AS THIS ONE.

imagine being haymitch and you’re shitting yourself having a face to face conversation with THE president snow and then he just starts going on about some situationship he had like 40 years ago? i just know haymitch had to hold back from being like “dammmnn so she really didn’t wanna fuck you huh”

even without all the theories about the abyss and the supernatural element of ‘LR: bloom & rage’ is such a beautiful testament to youth and friendship.

what really sticks with me is “remember us, remember me - k”. it’s like what corey said, kat is desperate to be remembered, to leave some sort of mark on the world, and as much as he was being an ass when he said that, he’s right.

the whole game kat knows her time is limited, and doesn’t want to spend it trapped. she does everything to fight against the time she has left. she rebels and falls in love and frees the deer knowing she can never be free herself.

and no matter what she wants the rest of them to remember that, to remember her even long after she’s gone, to remember about their bond and their time together, because it was special.

it makes playing as swann even more impactful because you spend the entire game reminiscing and recounting a past you can’t quite remember, while filming though a camera, a perfect metaphor for literally trying to capture the past.

kat, even from beyond the grave, is begging them all to remember, and 27 years later they all do.

so like when are we gonna talk about how in LIS: BTS ravens were used to represent looming death and grief and in LR: B&R kat is represented by a raven?

[curiouslystrongmintsblog]

i think what kills me the most about kat calling swann her “soulmate” is just the hopelessness of it all. like kat knew she was going to die, knew she was trapped in that town with her family, knew her and swann couldn’t last, yet she still loved her so adamantly.

normally i hate it when lesbians are doomed to be separated or die in media, but there’s something so beautiful about kat loving swann despite it all, and swann returning to her after all those years.

i don’t wanna be that person who can’t let life is strange go but can someone pls actually tell me why kat and rachel have so many parallels

[curiouslystrongmintsblog]

i hope in another universe my friends can save me and i get to escape my small town…………oh

[curiouslystrongmintsblog]
