Thinking About How Leyley Is Initially Happy To Have Her Birthday Celebrated But Then Does A Complete

Andrew: *Murders Ashley to keep control over her, talks about Ashley like she's his "creation", treats Julia like a sex object, doesn't get or respond to most of Ashley's gestures of affection, is accused by Ashley of not really loving her.*

Some Fans: I sleep

Ashley: *Imprisons Andrew to keep control over him, talks about Andrew like he's her toy, rapes Andrew, doesn't get or respond to Andrew's gestures of affection, is accused by Andrew of not really loving him.*

Some Fans: "See this is all proof that Ashley is a monster completely incapable of concern for others. She never loved Andrew, she just sees him as a possession to be controlled."

I really don't get why there's such a dissonance here. I typically assume it's because Decay was told so much from Andrew's perspective, but it's still really jarring.

I hate when I like a fucking edit of two characters I ship and the caption is dumb ass shit like “NOT A SHIP!!! NOT SHIPPING!!! KYS IF YOU SHIP THIS!!! DIEE!!!!” Like you could’ve not said anything.

Imagine Yonaka making valentines chocolate for her brother every single year, even after he wasn’t around anymore.

Look, I'm not saying hot sibling sex would fix Jinx, but I do think it would help a little.

people being like 'i love gross toxic awful ships, hnnggg.' their post blowing up, then them being like 'the proshitters have found this ewwwwww go away.' brother... im gonna need you to be so for real right now 💀

antis with their "toxic yaoi" that goes no further than enemies to lovers

What are your thoughts on TCOAAL mods? I tried watching one of Renee and Andrew but... I couldn't finish it due to the characters just not feeling like themselves anymore.

blatant plagiarism if you ask me, and probably would fall under that if nemlei decided to sue for copyright infringement. i have no interest in going near it. it’s taking nemlei’s story and her art and her characters and releasing an entirely different story, a version of the game where ashley’s sprite is replaced by renee’s and andrew wants to fuck his mom. nemlei herself seems a bit irked by it, judging by the piece of optional dialogue she included in the hallway scene:

so, simply put: i find these mods disrespectful because it’s certainly no longer nemlei’s story or nemlei’s characters as she wrote them in her game. and for what? to turn the game into meaningless “yay hot milf x her son” slop that doesn’t make any sense at all for the story?

no, it’s not the same as game mods that are, say, original cc and skins for your original character in dragon age or baldur’s gate. this is a visual novel, an interactive story, it’s the equivalent to dumping a pdf of a book into microsoft word, hitting ctrl+f and replacing “ashley” with “renee” (or your oc’s name, but at least that’s creating original fan content to some degree for your own enjoyment) and then publishing it online.

and no, it’s not comparable to fanfiction either, which is simply borrowing nemlei’s characters for writing purposes and creating original work— generally, in fandom, a way to show appreciation and with no lack of respect towards the original creator’s work.

all that said, i’m not the fbi, i really don’t care what people download onto their computer as long as it wouldn’t put you on a watch list.

nemlei: this guy is evil. he's literally so bad. he wants to FUCK his SISTER. he is IN LOVE WITH HER. TAKE THIS CHARACTERIZATION TEST TELLING YOU HE'S AN EVIL AWFUL SISTERFUCKER. the fandom for some reason: andrewwww :( fuck that cunt whore ashley women are so braindead retarded and always fuck over the nice guys fuck her hysteria infected cow and i dont hate her because im misogynistic
