the various endings' Dates get dropped in a pocket universe together
it's just four Dates comparing their traumatic experiences, then suddenly Boss walks in like "surprise, it can get worse"
I'm not caught up with Prime Defenders yet and at this point I'm scared to, did Wiwi fucking kill someone?? like I'm already spoiled on him drugging Tide, just tell me if he has blood on his hands so I can sleep at night
I'm so glad enough time has passed for people to stop caring and acknowledge that Engage is just FUN
Matthew's ears are slightly pointed like that because of the Gormotti ancestry
oh and he definitely got that scar doing something stupid as a kid. that or Na'el punched him
so is NO ONE gonna talk about Raine's Belos goop scars being their own tears
girl help, I've had Soren's bracelet for like 5 minutes and it's already making my entire army incredibly uncomfortable. why does Ike exclusively talk to him in that voice
quick FamilyEcho of the werewolves, who infects who and when, because I can never remember all of them off the top of my head
blue boxes are unavoidable, pink boxes are dependant on player choices
I checked the wiki and every bit of ending text I could find, so I'm fairly confident these are all correct, but feel free to say something if you see an error
fun things I realised while making this:
Abi is the only counsellor who is guaranteed to be cured if she gets infected
not counting individual QTEs, Dylan has the most opportunities to be infected, two of which are caused by his hand being bitten
Caleb has the most guaranteed infections, while Silas has the most potential infections
Dylan and Kaitlyn are the only counsellors who can be infected by Silas, meaning they would be the only ones still infected if Caleb died and Laura failed to kill Silas
it would be impossible to get an ending with everyone infected, as Abi will always be cured and Ryan cannot survive without killing Chris, curing everyone Chris infected
Dylan can be infected again after losing his hand, but it will not grow back. this is either because he doesn't stay infected long enough to turn, or maybe werewolf regeneration simply isn't strong enough
Dylan is the only counsellor who can be infected twice in the same playthrough, and also the only one who can be infected by the same werewolf at different times
if Jacob is infected, he can actually survive having his head crushed in a bear trap
an infected Kaitlyn can survive being crushed by a storage container
Nick is the only counsellor who can infect an NPC, that being Bobby, however Bobby will always amputate his finger to prevent infection
Laura, Max and Emma are the only counsellors who can infect other counsellors
Max is only counsellor guaranteed to infect someone, and the only counsellor who can potentially infect multiple people
Abi, Dylan, Ryan and Kaitlyn can never kill anyone while in werewolf form. Abi and Ryan are cured too soon, Kaitlyn is infected too late, and Dylan seemingly stays in/near the scrapyard after turning
Emma and Dylan are the only counsellors who can be infected by more than one werewolf, meaning they're also the only ones who can turn at various times
Dylan will only turn in-game if infected in Chapter 5, meaning Emma is the only one who can turn at various times during the game
Ryan is the only counsellor whose survival is dependent on being infected. infection can save multiple characters from various failed QTEs, but Ryan is the only one guaranteed to die unless infected
Laura is the only werewolf that can potentially infect someone while still in human form, and consequently the only one who can infect someone with consent
if Dylan and Kaitlyn are not infected by Silas, every character could hypothetically be cured by killing only Caleb. unfortunately this wouldn't work in-game, as Kaylee always dies, Chris can only die before Caleb, and surviving the Hackett House forces Ryan and Laura to confront Silas
by the same logic, the main conflict could be over as early as Chapter 3 if Caleb were caught or killed
I've only known the Process of Elimination cast for a couple hours but I would die for each and every one of them
yes that does include the serial killer
Tumblr is fun because one of my posts will get 30k notes and then I'll have one that only gets like. 12
Merrin: Dragons are such wonderful creatures... It's a shame I only have Lady Veyle and the Divine One to talk to.
*cut to Nel, Rafal, Zelestia, Roy, Byleth, Corrin, Camilla, Tiki, Soren and Robin taking a nap in the Somniel treasury*
Merrin: Such a shame.
