Wow it's been a year already!
Following suit where I wrote daily Jefferfield for last October, this year I'll be doing the same with a new set of prompts.
Thanks to @flufftober2021 for the list which'll be met everyday with a look of terror from yours truly.
Without further bureaucracy, hit the link for today's story:

Oh, you know the new Remastered footage they showing this Sunday (about 35 hours from now)?
There’s no Jefferson in it.
But there’s Nathan and Frank. No Damon as well in the BtS parts, villain prejudice once again, the trailer focuses so much on shit parts instead of the real good parts of the game, I miss the older trailers from the time LiS episodes were still releasing.
Leaked footage prints under the cut, and the big reason why I think I’ll wait for a sale instead of purchasing it right away...
Should’ve posted this before but, yeah, in 10 minutes they’ll show this pre-recorded meeting, not only they’ll have Derek Phillips in there, they’ll have an entire section about the villains (Derek and Nik Shriner), I imagine it’s very worth to watch this!
So I decided to make some cursed content.
Pasted “Vintage development” at that website, they gave me Agatha Christie.
I was always told I’d like her stories, but to be completely honest, I never read any -- I did watch the Orient Express movie, however, I thought of the case resolution to be too half-arsed to bother for any other stories coming from Christie.
Guess I’m destined to always come back at her mention, maybe I’ll give a chance to one of the books in the distant future.
So I was lurking your blog. I think it’s fine for people to ship dark ships like Max x Jefferson but I confess I am shocked hearing you talk of how bad Chloe is for Max when Jefferson kidnaps Max, drugs her more than once against her will and ties her up all without her consent. She’s scared in scenes with him, pleading with him to stop. He doesn’t. He even tries to overdose her. Curious on why you’d think Pricefield is bad when Chloe would never in a million years hurt Max like HE hurts her?
Jefferson might've hurt Max mentally (insulting her) / physically (a slap) during episode 5 -- a scenario which gets rewound in either canon ending, this means that, in Jefferson's point of view, he never ever hurt Max.
To me, this is not comparable to the ordeal Chloe's been putting Max through for years since their childhood. What we see in the game is but a slice of the abuse Chloe is used to inflict towards Max.
Let's take this 'moment of calm' from inside the Price house as some of the most important evidences of the abuse Max's been through:
From the 2:32 timer:
Chloe: "Come on, open it chicken!" Max: "Hold on. And I'm not chicken!" Chloe: "Prove it! You drink first, Max!" Max: "No way! It was your idea, Chloe!" Chloe: "Whateva. Give me that bottle." Max: "Well?" Chloe: "Tasty. Very tasty." Max: "Here, I want a sip!" Chloe: "Sorry, this is not for kids." Max: "Don't be greedy! Gimme some!" Chloe: "Oh shit, the carpet!" Max: "There's wine all over! What do we do now?" Chloe: "My parents are coming! Cover it up..."
First of all we have Chloe insulting Max by calling her a chicken. Next Chloe pushes the transgression into Max first, and when Max refuses, Chloe quickly ploys a way to taunt Max into becoming willing to share the transgression with her, by assuring she liked it. When they spill the wine into the carpet though, Chloe orders Max to cover it, as if it was Max's responsibility (a mere guest at the Price house), not Chloe's.
Later in that same video, starting at 5:02, we have another 'moment of calm' where we can spot some most subtle nods to abusive behaviors coming from Chloe:
Max: "What do you truly want to do when you grow up?" Chloe: "Max, I'm already grown up. What about you?" Max: "Travel. That would be awesome. Explore the world. Go far from here..." Chloe: "Far from me? Thanks a lot, dude." (...) Chloe: "Count me in. What would you do while I was bodyguarding you?" Max: "Maybe take pictures of our adventures. I would love to be a photographer. As if I ever could be..." Chloe: "What are you talking about? Max, you are a photographer. Your pictures could be in a museum. Someday they will. I believe in you..."
So Chloe thinks she's too grown up compared to Max, which is a display of her 'authority' over Max, as if Max must submit only because Chloe is older. Then when Max expresses the idea of fleeing far away, Chloe makes haste in guilt-tripping Max to say she should bring Chloe together. Later on, the expression "bodyguarding you" is the one which raises the biggest red flag in all this, because Chloe is masking her stalking into 'protection' for Max. Finally, when Max displays lack of confidence in her own skills, Chloe says her pictures COULD be in a museum, Chloe is feeding Max's anxiety instead of assuring her she WILL SURELY be in a museum.
You notice how Chloe carefully words her intentions in a way which is very dangerous for Max, damaging her self-esteem over and over, in just a single convo?
Now imagine years of constant bullying coming from your supposedly 'best friend', someone who should've wish you only the best, but ultimately treated you very, VERY poorly, so poorly that, when you see yourself suddenly free of them (the trip to Seattle), you don't want to ever talk to them again, because subconsciously you know your perpetrator's been toxic to you and your anxiety leads you to avoid them -- there's butterflies in your stomach, whenever you pick up the phone you suddenly begin to sweat, you know you don't want to talk to them, you want to avoid them at all costs... you want to avoid them so hard that, when you come back to your hometown years later, you still won't look into contacting your perpetrator again.
Max wouldn't had contacted Chloe. It just happened they met, and Max was under the power from her childhood aggressor once again, unable to refuse because she's been conditioned to not refuse Chloe. Along the game we see numerous other moments where Chloe guilt-trips Max into doing all sorts of things for her, some we can refuse and some we are not even given a choice. Not to mention all the dangerous actions like waving guns towards Max, getting involved with people of power, we all know how the story ends -- Jefferson wouldn't kidnap Max if the Dark Room was not found by them, his plans were focused to get Victoria instead, she had a folder already while Max didn't.
Compare years of conditioning from Chloe directly with the behavior Jefferson displays along the game -- he's always willing to encourage Max to submit her artistic work, never gives up on Max, and when she's captured, he confesses to her that she was his winner all along. Jefferson never meant bad things for Max, but between protecting Max and protecting his Dark Room secret, he choose the later when he comes to acknowledge Max is willing to spill everything.
Yes, I believe Chloe is much worse for Max than Jefferson could ever be.

Happy Birthday, Mark Jefferson!
Wait what, his birthday is the 11th, my phone rang the hell out of me today, where did I pick the vibe for 10th?
Oh, Reddit's date was wrong! And I saw that shit every single day, so that the 10th was imprinted into my subconscious.
That's why they banned me, a Jefferson fan, they really don't care for him!

Happy Birthday, Mark Jefferson!
Just gawking at Derek Phillips in glasses and smiling.
Shit it’s 6am and his voice is so powerful I haven’t slept yet.
Life is Inside Out
Today I put Remastered Jefferson as my lockscreen and the clock in his lens aligned perfectly with the height of my mobile's time app.
Gosh, the wait is going to be so hard.
Jefferfield Remastered wallpaper.
Obligatory cheap edit because the teaser footage is the only thing which looks good (where are Max’s freckles plz, can’t see them in the teaser OR the Steam shot).
Can’t make it any bigger because the YouTube video is 1080p (while the True Colors trailer goes up to 2160p holy shit).
Oh shit, I’m going to re-edit this sometime later because I realized the Steam video is looking sharper than the one I got off YouTube -- that one is blurry somehow, these screens I got for this montage are no good =/
Sorry Jefferson, I fucked up your shot.
I’m going to screenshot the chiaroscuro out of this game...

Life is Strange and #LifeisStrange: Before the Storm will return in an all-new Remastered Collection, featuring enhanced visuals and animations. Available as part of the Life is Strange: True Colors Ultimate Edition, or standalone later this year.
Really hoping to be able to get only LiSR and not bundled with BtS.
Also, Derek Phillips confirmed he had no involvement with this game, which means there’s probably no new scenes, it’s simply a reskin of what we already have.
Are you still open for Jefferfield prompts? :)
Sure! It’s been hard to get some quality time for leisurely reading/writing lately, but I could try something quick like last October’s daily prompts.
Thanks in advance!
hey how did you make that jefferson ai voice thing? i've been wanting to make one myself too and im just wondering how you did it
I’ve been debating whether to answer this or not, I know using voices of others is kind of a gray area, it’s wrong, although legally possible as far as I know... Fuck it, the application owner seems okay in sharing all about it!
So, I use this tool called xVASynth. It is a synthesizer for character voices from Bethesda games. It just happens Derek Phillips, Jefferson’s voice actor, also voiced a major character in there, so I've been using it to attempt Jefferson... but it often sounds just wrong because his character there is harsh, it’s not a smooth character like Jefferson is! =D
May you have fun, please let me know if you make anything cool with this app~
