Y’know with Godly Games I absolutely dread the shipping culture that would happen if it were ever to get popular, with 2 canon relationships (one being very toxic, which is the point but it also adds stress to the shipping culture), one canon aroace character and then just one character who is single and would want a relationship
like you’d think that wouldn’t give them a lot of opportunities!!!!! but like you’re on tumblr so you know better
Ana, before she burnt down Haynesville: ohh, gotta love knitting needles. I can make a scarf. I can make a hat. I can kill your parents. I can make mittens.
Phoenix: wh,, what was that middle part?
Ana: I can make a hat.
Phoenix: Britney Spears’ music is awful.
Ana: you’re a goddamn liar. she’s incredibly talented, you buffoon.
Phoenix: ... someone told you the moon was made of cheese yesterday and you didn’t call them a liar.
Ana: what do I know? It could be. But all I know is that Britney Spears is perfect, and that’s a fact.
Phoenix: every day you prove to me that you don’t know what a fact is.
Ana: do you know my blood type?
Phoenix: yeah? It’s B positive.
Ana, pulling out the IV: welp, I guessed wrong.
Ana: would like to apologize to the haters for being an absolute snack.
Izera: You need to get a better grasp on human culture. Going out might help.
Worble: Oh! Actually, I went to the park today—
Izera: Hell yeah! I hope you got something from that...
Worble: I did!
Worble, opening their bag: this duck
Worble: So I have a hypothetical question.
Izera: Yeah?
Worble: how would you react if somebody just happened to... uhhh... accidentally...
[loud crash and Ellaire screaming]
Worble: ... put Vaseline all over the floor?
Izera, already leaving: you’re on your own kiddo.
Ana: I’m so glad I’m alive. There’s so much I want to do before I go. Like- I wanna beat someone to death with a plastic lawn flamingo,
Phoenix: you already did that.
Ana:
Ana: shit, you’re right, huh?
Phoenix: do you have any last words?
Ana: moist.
Worble:
Phoenix:
Phoenix: good news, we’re erasing you from existence sooner than we thought,
Phoenix: I have your child.
Ellaire: ...I don’t have a child.
Phoenix: they made me talk about my traumas can you pick them up
