Not much of a take, but I kind of wish the critical fanbase actually critiqued the lore where it mattered (for lack of a better way of phrasing this)?

I dunno, if you’re going to criticise Forsaken lore-wise, at least take jabs at the characterisation pitfalls (I’m looking at you, c00lkidd’s info for Chrisaken day 5), the characters that seem to turn a blind eye to the game’s vague overall themes (as in, Nosferatu), or the fact that the vast majority of the cast are concepts that lack proper executions (although I’m personally alright with this, it is a fair criticism)!

Yet all we really get is ‘the lore for this character isn’t edgy/cool enough’, or ‘007n7 has too many connections’ (hasn’t he been directly stated to lack immediate connections among the survivors?), or ‘it’s too depressing’ (that’s practically the point, I’d wager) — Come on guys! :’)

What’s slightly worse is that the writers seem to be taking these non-issues to heart, and it, well, causes things like c00lkidd’s lore expansion to happen. Sacrificing the characterisation and depth of your story’s cast to make things edgier and such is evidently not very good for you writing.. Whatever the case, this bugs me severely 😔

- anon’s exploding gun

this is so true,, especially since forsaken is such a character-driven game. If people didn't care about the story, or characters, or themes, I doubt the game would be as big as it is. And butchering c00lkidd is not helping people's interest levels 😭

[forsakenhottakes]

Honestly, I don't believe Shedletsky needs to be reworked. He's already strongest sentinel imo. Cuz he's has something other sentinels don't. And that's consistency. Shedletsky just got press one button and sword goes out. While others Sentinels needs some factors to stun

Guest 1337: Hit Block

Two Time: Backstab the killer and hope killer won't do 360 on you.

Chance: spent your time throwing that coin. To get 3 charges and hope you won't get 10% while attempting shooting.

And Shedletsky...? You hit sword or not. So yeah I believe that the strongest aspect of Shedletsky is that he's most consistent one.

i think apart of the appeal of shedletsky is definitely his simplicity. Which makes sense, since he's one of the starting survivors. I'm terrible at playing sentinels, but he's always been relatively easier

[forsakenhottakes]

hot takes.. ERM. the killers are actually good guys and the survivors are bad

because uhm. like the survivors are the ones in purgatory. watching their friends get killed and getting killed over and over. so they are getting the worse end of the stick

plus u can kinda give most survivors how they where bad

evne like guest

he may be a savior but he still kill people in the process regardless if he was doing it out of good

shedletsky has 1x

twotime and azure

builderman,... idk he prob did something like ban all guest or something in HQ

noob with sixer

taph went kabbom

veronica with her past with being with bad ppl

007n7 with coolkidd

chance with winning rig game iirc

elliot with his hate for 007n7

dussakr with the spawn. at least. I think. idk its late rn

i could gos ons but no

Wow, a take on here that's actually kinda hot. A rare sight these days

[forsakenhottakes]

Imma be so fr i am tired of seeing ppl bitchibg over the 'redeemed hacker' 007n7 and cating like it's the worse thing to grace earth

YES BITCH WE GET IT YOU WANT MORE EVIL 007N7 NOW STOP BITCHING OVER REDEEMED DAD 007N7 DAMN

hey what if Evil Hacker 007n7 and Redeemed Dad 007n7 were two different characters and then they kissed. They both take care of C00lkidd and are happy and College and God Noli cry every day while Showman Noli (or whatever his current lore is) tries to steal their car

[forsakenhottakes]

Honestly, as guy who almost got lv 100 on nosferatu. I believe he's B+ at best. Nos is best killer when it comes catching survivors that not paying attention. So yeah in my opinion the best counter to nosferatu is paying attention.

Playing as 007n7 has made going against Nos a lot easier in my experience too. Even though I dislike the guy, I can't say his gameplay loop is too terrible. Still needs 14 nerfs though idk

[forsakenhottakes]

Honestly, Ellernate would be much better at a redeemed hacker rep instead of 007n7.

Anon you're so real and true for this. May your pillowcase be cool, and you find 100 dollars on the side walk tomorrow. (I also really like Ellernate's design,, he's so cool trust)

[forsakenhottakes]

Another take from me! One of my favourite things about Chance’s outdated lore (Snake Eyes, if you will) is that it never makes them out to be someone stupid for all that’d gone on with iTrapped. None of it is their fault. When the evident danger of the Russian Roulette deal is brought up in the document itself, it’s moreso put in a ‘could you blame him?’ sense.

Chance is someone who has lacked genuine company for quite some time, and he considers iTrapped the world providing them that for once (to paraphrase the official statement). Chance is someone who has always been invested in adrenaline-seeking, and sure, things grew less dangerous overtime, but that aspect of him is still present. Yes, they would say yes to someone in iTrapped’s position proposing a game of Russian Roulette, no, that does not make them stupid, and no, that does not lack sense when you consider who they are and the very foundation for these twos’ relationship.

Hence, it just.. makes me really sad when I see the fanbase consider them a fool for all this? I dunno, leaves a bad taste in my mouth every time I hear about Chance lacking survival instincts, or being too stupid to get how terrible their company is (they’ve had awful company by them for practically their entire life, what do you expect?), or being ‘blind’ (sometimes ‘blinded by [most often romantic love]’), or being too into thrill to get anything, or whatever else along those lines :(

- anon’s exploding gun

trust me, i am one of THE biggest haters of how fanon makes chance more stupid than he is. Can he be naive? Yeah, for sure. But they aren't a child. My interpretation is that they saw that iTrapped was a walking red flag, but ignored it because of how much he craved friendship.

[forsakenhottakes]

Okay. Uh. First time sending in an ask on here. Here goes!

I am not the biggest fan of the common fandom interpretation of Forsaken’s iTrapped. Don’t get me wrong, it is a fun one! The idea of Chance hanging around someone the polar opposite to them who’s generally real sick and tired of their antics is definitely a dynamic I enjoy when executed well! However, I really wish more people took what the text states about this fellow into account.

iTrapped can be reckless. iTrapped can be excitable. iTrapped can be unserious. iTrapped can be everything we think Chance to be, and we know this, because he is introduced into Chance’s life as someone with a lot in common with him by the Snake Eyes lore document (or, if we consider the doc itself too inaccessible, the descriptions of Chance’s outdated lore on both of their pages on the unofficial wiki, which are directly excerpted from Guyy’s document). They bonded through how much they had in common, and whether or not this Chance-esque persona was a facade is up to how you read it, but the point still stands! I want more iTrapped interpretations that factor this in for his personality.. Makes for a dynamic with Chance that is just as fun, not to mention.

- (Could I be anon’s exploding gun, perchance? :])

I think iTrapped's more cold (heh) demeanor was probably a "post-may madness/his friends getting banned thing". Kinda like him having to put on a serious front to get a means to an end. That's just my interpretation though, and i do agree that a more silly side of him would be fun to explore

A lot of new anons lately, too! Not that I'm complaining lol

[forsakenhottakes]

(to mod azure) omg i thought i was the only one who gets reminded of eddsworld whenever people discuss rpf in the forsaken fandom. but for an actual hot take, i do not like dusekkar x taph. it's one of dusekkars most boring ships tbh and i wish people focused on both characters far more interesting ship options. (ie shedletsky x dusekkar, builderman x taph) ik ik i can't force anyone to ship anything, and even if i wish people would look at other dusekkar ships that doesn't mean i think they should be forced to do so. but i just dont see what makes dusetaph any more interesting than any other dusekkar ship. (if anyone who ships dusetaph reads this and feels fine with leaving some reasons they ship it in a reblog or something, ill be grateful. im not saying this to be snarky or anything i just want to understand people better.)

ik many people dont really have an actual reason to ship something, they just do it because they think its cute or hot or whatever. but dusetaph is literally dusekkars most popular ship by a big margin and i just wonder what so many people are seeing in it. i guess i just dont get it.

to me it feels like people already shipped all the other characters in the roster together, and just paired whoever was left over. can i be ⌛ anon?

real and valid. while on the topic of more interesting dusekkar ships, if i can promote twosekkar— (gets shot)

And yup! Welcome to the blog, ⌛ anon!

[forsakenhottakes]

Howdy, I’m new here but uh. Oh boy, I got a VERY opinionated hottake.

I like Nosferatu, a lot. AND I don’t care for Azure, or even feel hyped for their release when it comes. Lemme explain my side real quick.

Nos, in no means, is a perfect character. However, I adore his lore and character design greatly. I feel like his lore is much more grounded in way compared to Two Time and Azure. Another thing, akin to the lore, is that his isn’t centered around another character entirely. Azure’s lore feels so overdone already. Another sob story about broken bonds and such.

There are other reasons, but they would fall into the drama aspect, so I’m not going to explain that. ^^’

Also uh. May I be known as 🗡️🐈 Anon?

yup! you can be 🗡️🐈 anon!

as far as the take itself goes, my lawyers are advising me to stay quiet. live your truth though

[forsakenhottakes]

Honestly, I don't really like any ships involving Shedletsky, Builderman, 007n7, Dusekkar. because ships like this kinda make me feels uncomfortable. to me because there's real people behind those accounts. And most of them married IRL. Like as example Builderman(David Baszucki) has a family IRL. Yes I know their Roblox account are not them, but this shit still feels uncomfortable to me. I suppose my mind mentally ties those accounts to IRL people. Yes, i know I sound like "grrrr I hate fun" I really don't mind them. But still they just rub me in the wrong way.

This take gave me flashbacks to the eddsworld fandom circa 2016. some things never change, and the line between rpf and the characters based off of them is one of them. I guess

[forsakenhottakes]

This might be against the rules, but this needs to be said. Feel free to delete this if you want to.

If anyone wants post about some sort of discourse or drama in the fandom, for fuck's sake, PUT IN A FUCKING TW OR A TAG THAT SPECIFIES THE POST IS ABOUT DRAMA. I do not care if you add the main tag in, just have some decency and acknowledge the fact some people have the "forsaken drama" tag and any other instances of that tag blocked so that they don't want to see anything about it because they only want to see the FANWORKS and some of us WILL feel guilty for having no control over anything and everything we get obsessed with or like.

No, you can't just say "move on" or "the world kept spinning". It is stuck in my head 24/7 and I am doing this for my own enjoyment and if I lose it while I have nothing else to obsess over, my mental health will plummet.

And if you're one of those people who post art related content about the game but then add a paragraph below your art about the current drama, PLEASE add a TW and the read more section BEFORE adding said paragraph. This has happened to me MULTIPLE TIMES when I thought someone's art was cool before I get to the part where they make 2 paragraphs about their opinion on the drama and I. Do. Not. Like it. I liked their art, but all I got was a new account to block.

It seems insensitive of me to say, but some people really don't want to know about what's going on with strangers on the internet and only want to fuel our dopamine without some rat whispering in our ears about how we're horrible people for loving a game. It bums us out when all we want is to enjoy making works inspired by or about the characters and story in the game. The least you can do is be sensitive about how some people don't like seeing drama-related stuff and add some sort of a warning that you WILL talk about it or what not.

TL;DR, if you wanna post about drama-related stuff, add a tw tag or any instances of the "forsaken drama" tag. If you post art/content for the game but you wanna add your own opinion about the current drama, add a TW and the read more section below the art you want others to see and before your paragraph about it.

this^^ (i dont think this counts as breaking the rules, since it's not bringing up any specific drama. more or less just fandom behavior and etiquette in general, so you're good anon)

[forsakenhottakes]

Ill just be deadass here i dont fuck with twotime. Never understood their appeal ,,

Damn, that's tough

[forsakenhottakes]

Taph X Slasher is a stupid ship. They have nothing in common and are only seen together because both are mute, which is... odd??? Like imagine I shipped two characters because they're "both autistic" or something, as though that gives them some kind of automatic affinity for each other.

i always say ship and let ship, but it is true that they don't have much in common in canon lol. At least it's giving taph some attention

[forsakenhottakes]

why does 007n7 have the spy tf2 skin when spy's abilities more accurately match two time 😭 like literally what does 7n7 have in common with spy other than turning invisible (which two time can also do) (and 7n7 can only do after cloning) and being a mid father

two time has so many good skins already that i guess they just have to spread them out lol

[forsakenhottakes]
