I think Chloe Price knows a little bit more about kissing girls than you do pal cause SHE INVENTED IT! Then she perfected it so no man could best her in the ring of honor!

it's a matter of pride.

kate and her blackness

it is absolutely true that kate being black in the life is strange television adaptation being produced by amazon racializes the dynamic between her and nathan, her and victoria, her and jefferson, her and max, her and blackwell, her and arcadia bay. to pretend it does not influence these things is willfully ignorant. the influence, i hope, is the point.

the original game exists. it has existed for over a decade. if you are watching the show with the hope that it is similar to the original game then you need to go outside and roll around in the mud until you emerge someone different and hopefully more intelligent. the last of us tv show is profoundly forgettable if you’ve played the game, and yet i adore the episode with the older men falling in love as they try to survive the apocalypse. a reimagining should chafe, should challenge. you /should/ feel uncomfortable as to what it says about victoria when she directs her cruelty towards kate. you /should/ feel uncomfortable when max tells kate that she needs to contact the police about her assault. there is real, honest-to-god potential here with this show, to reckon with the fact that our so-called “everyday heroes” are messy and ignorant – they are teenagers believing themselves woke while simultaneously not able to actualize tangible compassion towards the black teenager crying right in front of them.

to be clear, i think the show will be watchably mediocre just as most "reimaginings" of existing ip are watchably mediocre. i do not have hope that the show will be good because it is being produced by amazon, and the existence of said show is merely to capitalize upon nostalgia towards a perceived cultural phenomenon. kate’s blackness will certainly layer victoria’s actions with more abhorrence, but I do not have hope that the show will explicitly draw attention to this dynamic. that exercise will be left to the fans, the watchers, the discourse lovers, many of whom are starting their homework early.  

kate marsh is not real. she was always a canvas for the world to paint cruelty upon. when you are at the lighthouse at the end of the game, pondering if there is any good to leaving arcadia bay in one piece, you are meant to think of kate. when max is fretting about whether she should have the power to let chloe’s father live or die, you are meant to think of kate. kate is the dove, the angel, the virgin. she cannot change, she can only be mourned, aspired to. all characters are like this. they exist to tell a story. they are not real, and so they can be changed to tell new, different, compelling stories. this is a feature. every fanfiction contains nothing but OCs. if you can’t handle that, if you want everything to stay how it was before, if you would burn down the future for that first love you had when you were in high school - then i have a game i think you should play.

actual dialogue from ep 3 of lis: Max: I bet you hoped Kate Marsh would stay quiet.

Nathan: Idiot says what?

Max: Did you drug her?

why would he say that?

something i like about kate and how her depression is portrayed is how she's not just a sad, shrinking violet 100% of the time, she's also quick to anger and quick to assume max is against her, because that kind of trauma makes it hard to trust people.

i think showing that depression isn't just sadness, but can also be misdirected anger, is very important. this side of kate should be talked about more

I wish I took a better pic of this writing in a bar bathroom in toronto bc I think of it so often. Be So Completely Yourself That No One Is Attracted To You Or Wants To Employ You

life is strange is a tender story about two girls who love each other and a bunch of other stuff.... i feel like to truly understand it you have to view it not from the meta context of being a Gamer inflicting your will upon the land with Max as your vessel, but from the perspective of Maxine herself as an insecure teenage girl who is constantly finding herself at crossroads but is given the power to overcome uncertainty by experiencing multiple outcomes, allowing her to take action confidently for the first time in her life. When you achieve this understanding you become enlightened.

tonight is the night for warren graham thoughts because i cannot remain silent any longer i think he formed his music taste off of /mu/ and only listens to forum-loser approved music </3 I think he has annoying opinions about pop music, and he sincerely loves In the Aeroplane Over the Sea... if i were better at making playlists i would construct the most beautiful and Warren Accurate one the world has ever seen... i know he loved fall out boy when he was like 13 and will defend his continued love of pre-hiatus fall out boy with his life. i also think sincerity and earnestness are large enough parts of his character that he would find being seen as pretentious to be embarrassing. he doesn't want to be seen as a hipster he wants to be seen as Cool and Interesting </3

[deer-dawn]

also god he loves the strokes he loves the strokes so much. not an advanced Warren idea but look at him......

[deer-dawn]

and also rip Warren Graham 1996-2013 you would have loved pokemon go 😭

[deer-dawn]

i feel lighter now......... peace and love

[deer-dawn]

i haven't seen as much discussion on Warren's actor (probably because only 3 people gaf about his character, including me) but i want to say that warren's narrative role boils down to "dweeby nerd with crush" and from what i've seen, faly rakotohavana will be able to sell that quite well. i am excited.
