I have a lot of feelings

This is where I'll talk about my deadprem headcanons away from everyone else

[pillowstains]

What she says: I'm fine

What she means: Anna is found dead on a tree (earth). Becky is found in her shower which is turned on (water). Diane is suspended above a statue before being crushed to death (air). Why isn't Carol set on fire??? Or Thomas or Emily even though they aren't George's sacrifices because they still become goddesses but no one is set on fire. why???

Part 2 of There Will Come Soft Rains illustrations! It’s a good fanfiction by @michaeltillotson, and you should definitely read it. Aaaand here’s a bonus because Victor knows how to get me drawing extra things.

Thomas for that headcanon thing ;U

Thomas.

Headcanon A:  realisticWould actually have time to sleep if he didn’t spend ages putting on nail polish (two coats + gloss) after work every day, then removing it again last thing at night so he doesn’t get caught with it at work.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilariousI can’t decide whether this is truly unrealistic or not (it’s not), but Thomas is absolutely a switch. He actually quite likes taking control and, most importantly, is good at it. The secret club is basically a Masters degree in kinky shit, and he knows how to do anything, even if he rarely gets a chance to actually use a lot of it, because of George’s power complex. Basically… this is the way that Thomas and Carol are most alike, and they are almost indistinguishable personality-wise when it… gets down to it.Twins!

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friendsThomas could probably have managed to get away from George (eventually), if his mother hadn’t died and left him hurting so badly from it. She and Thomas were very close, as we know from her teaching him how to cook, and more than just the loss of someone he cared about that much, there’s the fact that it thrust a business into his hands and forced him to become a single parent to his younger sister. He was probably so exhausted for so long afterwards that he was easy prey. That, and George probably managed to worm his way in with the “my mother is dead / dying as well, and I don’t know how to live without her”. I mean, really, if they’re both mommy’s boys with absent dads… well. It’s not unlikely that George could use that as his way in, is it? Take advantage of that trauma, bond with Thomas when he’s at his lowest, and never let him go again.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.Fuck canon, Thomas would drink, and he would be a sloppy fucking drunk as well. He probably only says he doesn’t to make a good impression on York and, largely, because Carol can seriously drink, so what he does barely even counts in comparison! He only drinks very sugary cocktails and wine, though. George would probably try to get him to drink scotch and he’d gag.

eyyyy for the hcs: the maclaines and michael, gimmie

Thomas:

Headcanon A: Has a very similar body type to his mother (tall, wide shoulders, narrow hips) so all of his dresses were…. inherited.

Headcanon B: A squirrel (Common Eastern Gray Squirrel, of course) broke into his apartment once and his love for squirrels vs his need to keep a neat apartment were at odds with each other. He fed it some granola but eventually Carol removed it.

Headcanon C: Lost his virginity to George while he was in high school. In the back of a police car.

Headcanon D: Never really hated Emily, that was just a mix of an emotional breakdown and purple fog. :’’’’)

Carol:

Headcanon A: She mostly dropped out of school to run the bar, sure, but she was an awful student anyway and failed a lot of classes due to apathy (except for algebra because you gotta be math good to run a business).

Headcanon B: Isn’t used to being spoiled so she gets genuinely giddy when her friends remember her birthday and do something special for her.

Headcanon C: Suffers from pretty severe and self-destructive depression. She lets a lot of ~town gossip~ get to her (re: things like Sally doubting that she and Anna were ever friends) and it fuels her substance abuse like nothing else.

Headcanon D: Smokes cigarettes with Michael behind the A&G diner and they complain about life together. :’’’’)

Michael:

Headcanon A: He’s one of the shortest men in Greenvale and is very self conscious about it.

Headcanon B: Harry isn’t forcing him to rhyme–he just knows that it kinda pisses the old man off but that Harry can’t do anything about it or else he’ll have to speak for himself.

Headcanon C: The diary entries in the first year Harry adopted him are all sad orphan wishes about how he wished he had a loving father who he could actually call father. Feeling alienated and out of place is a theme throughout his entire diary though…

Headcanon D: He has considered putting arsenic in Harry’s liquid food before….

I think it’s officially @michaeltillotson‘s birthday in his time zone, so here’s a little gift! Hope things get a little more cheerful soon. <3

[michaeltillotson]

I’ve been here just lying in the basement / Keeping my head up and my eyes closed / I forget what I was erasing / I guess I don’t need to know.

Thomas MacLaine Aesthetic for @bumblepuppy.

[michaeltillotson]

Face down upon the bar / I always said you’d get far / But you’re not the kid you used to be / Someone should call your family.

Carol MacLaine Aesthetic for @bumblepuppy.

[pillowstains]

Sometimes, I’m inspired by things.

#nope George is jock goth

Honestly you’re not wrong--York and George are the yellow-orange vs orange-yellow of being the Joth-est. My reasoning is that York is more likely to listen to Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees and George actually works out in game.

A Deadly Premonition sequel but it’s just Diane trying to talk to people about Bioshock and why it was a masterpiece and them trying to escape.

[michaeltillotson]

Diane Ames probably painted Bioshock fanart. Diane Ames is a high class nerd, who only likes pretentiously nerdy things, but is 100% behind them.

Consider Diane forcing teenage Becky into a splicer costume she painstakingly made from scratch at home and taking three hundred photos and posting them to the whole extended family. Becky wanted a Bella Swan costume, and she did not get it.

Day 9-Who did you think was the culprit? Did it change during the course and why?

I guessed correctly, so instead I’m going to post my favorite theory: The Raincoat Killer lives in Sigourney’s pot and when it gets too cold he bursts out of it. Also, when my sister was playing it, I convinced her that Kaysen was wearing a fat suit so she shouldn’t assume that he wasn’t the killer just because the killer was too thin. B)

Day 7 & 8 in the same post because I am lazy

I’m preparing to go to an ~anime convention~ this weekend so keeping up with these hasn’t really been my top priority! Anyway-

Day 7- What is your favorite weapon and why?

Now I’m going to be a hypocrite based on what I said on Day 4 but.... Grecotch is really good, okay? I don’t have time to deal with the wall crawlers, and I’m not patient enough to aim guns so I just like brute forcing my way through levels. I like the wrench too, because unbreakable melee weapons rock. It’s not asked, but I want to trash talk the saber here because as someone who has fenced before, York’s hold of the weapon is awful and his posture is way off.

Day 8- What is your favorite side quest?

I’m... not sure if I can narrow it down to just one! I like Carol’s quest because it gives her a well-needed moment of sensitivity. I like Nick and Olivia’s quest because it has Nick admitting that he’s been a huge jerk towards his wife and actually feeling bad about it. I like Wesley’s quests just because I like that the cool, badass gunsmith collects trading cards. Honestly, the sidequests make up so much of the meat of the game that I make sure to do as much as I can before my final trip to Harry’s mansion.

[pillowstains]

Day 6- Post a fan art.

I mean...

I’ve drawn

quite

a lot....

I like it when characters have different face shapes, and DP is just brimming with facial variety! I obviously have... favorites that I draw way more often than others, but really most of them are fun. Anyway, here’s the first DP thing I’ve ever drawn which I don’t think I’ve ever uploaded.

Zach sitting in Thomas’ car, holding his biscuit and crying to the piano version of Miss Stiletto Heels. Because... that was basically me at the end of the game.

[pillowstains]

Day 5- What genre would you say this game is?

I count it as survival horror when I’m talking about it, but I think I’d call it... murder mystery? With a slice of survival horror if you’re like me and brute force your way through combat levels with melee weapons rather than act sensible and shoot things from a distance.

If “Twin Peaks and Silent Hill had a baby that ended up being kind of a weeaboo” is a genre, than that’s the most fitting.

[pillowstains]

My drawings so far for @michaeltillotson‘s fanfiction, There Will Come Soft Rains. As well as a bonus because he dangled this carrot in front of me:

[pillowstains]

Day 4-Which character is your least favorite and why?

I don’t like Kaysen or Harry, but there’s a certain character I have a reserved hatred for.

Lilly Fricking Ingram. A loving mother and normal wife, not deserving of any ire, right? A woman who constantly insists she’s normal wife, works in an all-American grocery store, infantilizes her husband and trusts the police whole-heartedly. I can’t not see her as a rural, conservative-Christian woman who protests against Planned Parenthood and only married her husband because she got knocked up with nightmare twins after a night of ~premarital sex~. Lilly Ingram is the type of person who thinks that her twins are indigo children and would comment on any post about Black Lives Matter with “I think all lives matter”. Lilly Ingram probably thinks depression isn’t a real problem and that going on a jog can fix your mood for you. Lilly Ingram doesn’t put spice on chicken, but she does bake it in Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup.

And all of her quests with her scolding Keith for “making messes in the storage room” and then giving you an item that he loves without his permission is really gross to me, especially since she doesn’t even feel the least bit bad about it. She may act polite and friendly, but she’s just the ‘nagging wife who won’t let her husband have fun’ trope under a sugar coating.
