this has been said much more succinctly but im gonna say it again so i can pin this post on my blog:
alyx and gordon are a heavily implied relationship in the game. if you are looking at a piece of unestablished background lore (did they meet pre-rescas) and your decision is to make a headcanon that makes it weird instead of assuming the writers aren’t creeps:
that’s your right, but that’s also a you problem.
and if you truly believe this ship is as problematic as you say, then I honestly think that you should have nothing good to say about haIf life as a whole, that such a thing would go beyond the pale of anyone’s ability to ‘just ignore the bad parts’ as I have seen people claim, and I don’t understand why you’re positively engaging with this media at all.
obsessed with people who stan side characters it’s so funny like you’ll see them talk endlessly about count gobbledegook IV and then you go to wikipedia and find out they’ve been in five episodes total across a 300 episode series

I love fanmixes (or FSTs, as we used to call them when I was your age.) Two things stop me from enjoying too many of them:
1. I am a bitter old shrew with the musical tastes of an old hippie (this is a personal problem)
2. Slow, angsty, deep and meaningful songs are really great lyrically… but boy do they drag the mood down.
So when I decided to put a mix together for Ghost Trick, somewhere on my Top 5 Favorite Games of All Time, I knew I wanted to keep the upbeat, cheerful, funky mood of the game in mind when I chose my tracks.
So here you have it. A Ghost Trick fanmix made entirely out of upbeat, cheerful, funky, groovy, dance-y tunes that’ll keep you in a good mood even when I subtly hint at depressing, gigantic spoilers.
(UPDATED - because 8Tracks, the original source, is dead dead dead, and Spotify works better anyway.)
here is the article, it’s a good read that does into detail about “ordinary” people’s experiences being forced into a conservatorship. it’s a horribly violent system.
(WEHT)– Indiana conservation officers are alerting Hoosiers about an invasive species in the state. DNR has reported signs of spotted lanternflies in Switzerland County, which is near Cincinnati. The planthopper originated in Asia and was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014.
Adults have a very distinct red color on their underwings with spots. The egg masses of this insect look like mud and can spread by vehicles.
Spotted lanternflies feed on plants which makes [the plants] too week to survive winter months. DNR is asking all Hoosiers to keep an eye out for these insects and call 866-663-9684 if you see them.
im moving back to indiana soon. do we squish them when we see them + call the number? what do we do about the eggs
