look rusty lake roots leaves big time gaps between stories and leaves a lot of room for interpretation, but the evidence points to ida and samuel having THE most raunchiest, passionate relationship ever. homegirl saw visions of her future husband dying painfully and she still decided to marry him. they had a child before marriage in that kind of era. samuel and ida were the couple who were visibly eyefucking each other across the room all the time and could barely keep their hands off each other while albert seethed quietly in the corner

shoutout to leonard vanderboom for literally just being A Guy like when one of your cousins was born via flower impregnation and lived in a well for more than a decade and the other was literally created in a lab with an EGG that your uncle stole from your DEAD MOTHER and communicated with the spirit of your dead great great uncle to rebirth him as her daughter you kind of end up being the normal one by default

rusty lake paradise has the most accurate portrayal of sibling dynamics ever. eldest child (expected to clean up everyone's shit and gets no thanks whatsoever) middle child (overlooked & underappreciated) and youngest child (menace to society, literal annoying pest)

albert vanderboom is the vriska of the rusty lake games. if this were a bigger fandom there would be massive online discourse started by people who insist "albert did nothing wrong"

best part of cube escape paradox is when harvey interrupts dale's mental breakdown/therapy session to demand that he call for a bird food delivery. as he should ofc

my favourite part of rusty lake roots playthroughs is watching people get increasingly apprehensive every time a jar appears in the scene

do you think elizabeth and david talked about their brother in the 15 or so years he was off the island? jakob's memories may have faded as he left, but theirs certainly didn't. do you think they had nightmares about their mother getting burnt at the stake? did elizabeth tell david her memories of the brother he barely remembered? did the adults tell them, over and over, that jakob's sacrifice was necessary, to the point that by the time he came back to the island, they had already accepted it as an inevitability? did elizabeth get rid of her brother's old things so she wouldn't be reminded of him anymore? did david stare at old family portraits trying to come to terms with the fact that he would essentially be meeting his brother for the first time and saying goodbye at the same time?
