Rusty Lake Confessions

I've read some Rusty Lake fanfics in my life (please don't judge me), and they weren't actually bad, but they still made me really upset. It was like almost complete lack of that surreal atmosphere.

Okay okay okay so I've read some in the past too, and I definitively agree that a lot of them lose the surrealness of the games, but there is a "surreal" tag on ao3 that does have some pretty cool ones!

I think writing being a very descriptive medium makes it lose a lot of mystic that an interactive visual one does, but I have toyed around in my head about ways to fix this too. I think for example, a fanfic written in the style of a screenplay could really nail the more abstract and surrealness of the games. It's also interesting since you could tie it to the theatre in game which is fun! Idk if I'll ever do it, I'm not the best writer and worse at motivation, so if anyone wants to steal my idea, please do and also link it to me i want to read it

I FUCKING HATE ALBERT. ALBERT DOES NOT FUCKING DESERVE ANYBODY IN THE FANDOM'S LOVE. ALBERT DESERVES TO BE PUBLICLY SHOT BY A FIRING GROUP. I wouldn't have given a fuck if he only hurt people who did shit to him. But he hurt Ida, Leonard, and Frank, all people who DID NOTHING TO HIM. Laura barely gets SHIT from the fandom but albert get EVERYTHING

I wonder who actually our playable character in Servant of the Lake is. This cannot be unimportant thing. It's never happened that in any Rusty Lake game we just played as a third-party character.

I've heard theories that we're playing Harvey POV in SotL. I think this makes sense because, like... Harvey is the first RL character I think of when I hear "servant". Perhaps we are playing as his past human form, and the game will also tell how he took the form of a parrot.

While I doubt this will be it a fun idea I had was that we kinda just play as ourselves. This might stem from the fact I also think that the player character is gonna die at the end, probably because they saw something they weren't supposed to.

BUT that's not very likely to happen, would be cool though.

I don't think we play as Harvey though. Idk why.

Because Mr. Owl said he needs a predecessor does that mean that they eventually die it just takes longer.

hmm, I am unsure. does anyone else have any input on this?

I mean... he does become a fish(or reverse mermaid) when you give him a future cube in Paradox, so I always read that as some form of tranformation was coming to him that made him unable to do his job

During paradise is Harvey's appearance canon? Or was it just for the achievement.

Like was he actually alive when paradise was happening?

I would assume it's canon but I suppose you can never be sure?

Yeah.

Because I was thinking about maybe the fact that maybe the grey bird in the servant of the lake trailer is Harvey's parent or smth.

very interesting theory, I like it!!

Yeah, idk tho bc Harvey is pretty old. But in one of the things it does show William holding a bird egg so.

#this is also what I was thinking #rusty lake discussions

I also don't know but maybe it's like he want to retire? Hmm, juts a thought.
