We Don’t Leave Friends Behind

Just a sideblog for twdg content, a place to post about the game and archive old fandom art/posts. Even if the game series is a decade old and had long since ended, it’ll always stick with me.

Its kind of shocking to me how many people are willing to write off twdg characters as liabilities when the entire first game is about protecting a walking liability not because you have to but because you want to. Lee didn't have to get Clem down from that treehouse, but he did because she needed protection and he knew he could at least somewhat provide it.

Then immediately people call Ben, Nick, Sarah, and somehow even Gabe liabilities and will type paragraph upon paragraph about how useless they are compared to Clementine. I adore Clem, but did they even play the first game? She tried to not be a burden, but in some cases it simply couldn't be helped and Lee had to protect her -- or remember that one time she conversed with a complete stranger on her walkie-talkie for at least a month without informing Lee (in fact she lied to him about it being broken!), and then she ran away with said stranger because she was easily manipulated into believing he knew her parents which resulted in Lee getting bitten and eventually dying, along with Kenny and Ben's deaths as well? Nobody blames Clem for that, she just made a mistake. A BIG one, but to be frank: so what. There's nothing wrong with making mistakes and especially when people should be taking care of each other. We care about Clementine and we're just happy to be reunited even at such great costs. (I'm aware that Kenny doesn't stay dead but we're talking about s1 not s2)

So my question is, why can't people provide that benefit of the doubt to other characters? Clem is Lee's deuteragonist, so it makes sense that she helps us the most and is present for the majority of scenes. That doesn't make the supporting cast any less valuable. Again, especially in a series that kicks off with immediately handing you a "liability" to take care of. The story was never about who was useful and who isn't. They're just people. Honestly what the fuck is going on with the majority of people who play these games because every forum I chance upon or tiktok on my fyp is just some hateful asshole 🤷‍♂️ It's not like, a BOTHER, it's just so weird to me

fun fact: Ben’s “FUCK YOU KENNY” monologue was written into the game after the first few test audiences overwhelmingly chose to save him in the tower and self-reported that they felt his story never culminated. The monologue was written to give the player a possible sense of closure based on Ben’s catharsis, and sure enough, subsequent test audiences tended to drop him at a ~50/50 rate.

Animated Heroines Appreciation Week: Sarah (The Walking Dead - 2013)

I don’t know why people have to be so mean. Like, even when I’m really mad, I still don’t want to hurt anyone…
