This is a fan art of warren graham from one of my favorite games life is strange! And one of my favorite grahamscott fics!

He’s working partime at the Two-Whales diner in @im-the-loser-now ‘s amazing fic “No tip?” I linked it down below so please go read it and give them some love!

I’m not the greatest at backgrounds but I had a lot of fun drawing this even though it’s not the best. I also put a little clip in his hair because I feel like warren would love it.

I hope I’m not to late and the fandom died 😅

Would be just my luck😅

Thoughts on Life is Strange 2

Okay. First, I should do a full disclosure on me and LiS. If you don’t care, you probably should skip the next couple of paragraphs where I get into LiS 2 itself. Also, I’ve only gotten partway into the game… but I still have fallen very much in love with the characters and the dynamic.

I love the first game. I am a huge Pricefield fangirl and also am an Amberprice fangirl even if I do think Rachel Amber had moved on from Chloe before her death. I mean, not all relationships last. I once had a rather intense and fun relationship with another girl that lasted all but a month… but was still full of ups and downs and while I might do a few things differently, I’d never chose not to have dated her. That’s how I see Rachel and Chloe - Rachel had a lot of fun with Chloe… but realized after a year or two that they wanted different things in life. That doesn’t lessen what Chloe and Rachel had together, though, or for that matter what Max and Chloe have.

My enjoyment of Life is Strange: Before the Storm is more… problematic. I had issues with their portrayal of Joyce and David, and feel that there could have been a far better portrayal of Chloe’s issues if they had shifted it to the fall of 2009 and had Chloe having to cope with her mother getting ready to marry David (especially as in-game, Joyce started seeing David within two months of William’s death). The story should have been about Rachel helping Chloe cope with her life going upside down, not Chloe trying unsuccessfully to be Rachel’s hero and solve her problems. We should have seen how Rachel was Chloe’s angel, not this idiocy that the plot became.

All things aside? Max and Chloe’s story is ended. Whether you tossed Chloe into the metaphorical volcano to save Arcadia Bay or chose to let things happen and accept you can’t save everyone, you can’t effectively create a sequel without undoing everything of the first game. Seriously, you need to use Time Travel to undo the entire week, possibly up to the start of September, and maybe even all the way to March when Rachel died. Why not just move on with all new characters and a new setting? And Sean and Daniel’s story is one worth seeing.

Now, I have to admit when I first heard things about LiS 2, I groused over the fact we had an 18-year-old guy as the protagonist. As a woman, I kind of prefer playing female characters. We don’t get a lot of them. Often when we do, the character is generic and either a round peg put in a square hole (Mass Effect) or the story is so bare-bones that it doesn’t matter what gender or race you are (Elder Scrolls). Even after having played what I have with LiS 2? I still feel that Sean could easily have been Shawna and it could have worked equally well - only it’s a Hispanic teenage girl protecting her younger brother even against snide white trailer trash who upgraded to a real house. And yes, we need more minority protagonists… but there are a lot of Hispanic girls out there who likely would have loved to be the heroine of a tale.

Despite my desire for more strong female protagonists… I love Sean. I love how he is protective of his kid brother. There is a true sibling bond there and their dynamic reminds me of my cousins, and maybe even how I was with my older brother when I was younger. (Being a young brat transcends gender. We girls can be as bratty as boys.) Further, I love the dynamic between him and Lyla, and I can understand why @lylapark is so in love with the character. Even though we only see her for the first part of LiS 2, between those interactions and the texts between the two after Sean’s world turns upside down… you sense these two are also family - but the family one chooses rather than being born with.

That is the thing about Life is Strange 2. It is a story about family. The original Life is Strange was a coming-of-age story of a young woman realizing she isn’t straight (I mean, you can have her literally come out of the closet to protect Chloe from David) and seeking to do everything in her power to keep her best friend safe. It was a story of young love, and of learning who you are. It was a story about realizing you are strong - and one interesting thing is that Max never truly loses agency… even when tied down with David Madsen rushing to stop Mark Jefferson, it takes Max’s direct action of distracting Mark Jefferson in order for David to succeed. But that’s not what Sean’s story is about.

Sean is a teenage boy. He is just coming into adulthood. He has a loving relationship with his father, he loves his brother more than anything, and he realizes the world isn’t his friend. Bad things will happen and as a Hispanic teenage boy he has to be extra careful, as unfair as that is. What’s more, there is no free “rewind” to fix the story. He can’t afford to be reckless. But then, as I said already… Life is Strange 2 is a story about family. It is a story about a young man being tossed into the deep end and having to become an adult. It is about someone trying desperately to keep family safe.

So… if you loved Max and Chloe’s story… give Sean and Daniel’s story a shot. It is not the same type of story. It isn’t a love story, or a story of a young woman realizing she’s gay, or anything of the sort. Instead, it is a more personal story. Because family is important to most of us. And sometimes we don’t get along with our siblings or parents… but just as Lyla is as much family to Sean as Daniel and their dad, so too do we have friends who are family to us. So I think most of us can find something to relate to with this tale.

I’ve tried to avoid too many spoilers (for LiS 2 anyway) in this commentary. But even if you know all about the story… still, give it a try. Don’t think of it as a direct sequel, like the Two Towers following the Fellowship of the Ring. Instead, it is more akin to other sequels. Think of the Twilight Zone, where each episode is separate from the others but is linked by being Twilight Zone… or the early Nightmare on Elm Street in which different teenagers have to face down Freddy in the first couple of movies. Sometimes, sequels can just be set in the same world rather than follow a set cast of characters. And they can still be truly worth seeing even without a favorite cast to draw you back in.

I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:

Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin. 

Here is a page of medieval weapons.

Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.

Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.

Here are some gemstones.

Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on. 

Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.

Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised. 

Here is every religion in the world. 

Here is every language in the world.

Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.

Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.

Here are poisonous plants.

Here are plants in general.

Feel free to add more to this!
