Personal Opinion - Tumblr Posts

Tuesdays are either the best or the worst, there is no middle ground

The reason I love Dareth so much is because he’s just a normal citizen who is unintentionally funny. He doesn’t have any powers or skill or ability or anything, he’s just an everyday citizen who, with a small stroke of luck, just happened to meet his favorite celebrities and then put in the effort to get to know them, trying to act all serious but is portrayed in such a humorous way that it’s hard not to smile when he comes into the frame.

Like, you’ve got to have a dose of the funny li’l guy every once in a while. He’s just that wannabe ninja whose dreams he’s had ever since he was a kid finally came true, and I’m happy for him. Like yes, you go Dareth!!

I've used kokobot since Saturday I think and I kinda like it ngl. I mean at least I can talk to someone else and still be anonymous yk. It's also nice to help others with their issues.

Guilty pleasure:

I still find potty humor and fart jokes funny

Opinion about Ahsoka and another poll

Now there will be my personal opinion about Ahsoka in her series. It will be very extensive, so be prepared (I just wanted to speak out for a long time).

I also warn you right away that this is just my personal opinion and of course it may differ from yours!

In my personal opinion, Filoni ruined Ahsoka in her series by making her another character who, although she looks similar, has clearly changed her character for the worse.

Firstly, it became clear to us from the series that Ahsoka trained Sabine as her Padawan, but then their paths diverged. At first, I thought that it could be due to the fact that Ahsoka was simply not confident in her abilities as a teacher, but in the finale Huang explained to us that after the death of the Sabine family (R.I.P Wrens😢), Ahsoka thought that the girl herself, having reached her potential, would become dangerous (well apparently, she will go for revenge, which Jedi shouldn't do). So it turns out that Ahsoka, frightened by Sabine’s fall on the vehicle, simply abandoned her when her family died and, naturally, she was in grief. This is also confirmed by the conversation between Ahsoka and Sabine in the first episode:

"I go where I'm needed."

"Not always."

Note that if Ahsoka had supported Sabine at that moment, and it was Sabine who wanted to stop her training, then there wouldn't have been such a gap between them. And so we are clearly given hints that Ahsoka behaved like a coward and simply abandoned the grieving girl on Lothal. Great decision Ahsoka, what can I say 🙄

Plus, it’s worth noting that Ahsoka came to Sabine only for the map, and essentially used Ezra as an excuse to attract the Mandolorian. And I highly doubt that if Ahsoka had unlocked the map by herself, she would have returned to Sabine to become her Master again.

Secondly, Ahsoka in her series has forgotten how to show an important thing that a Jedi and even an ordinary person should show, namely empathy. What Ahsoka does is act cold towards Sabine (even though she should be trying to improve her relationship with her), and when she says that they will have to destroy the map, which means Ezra will never return home, she doesn't show an ounce of sympathy, simply asking Sabine if she can trust her on this. Let's remember, in the same Rebels, when in the World Between Worlds Ezra had to let Kanan go, what did Ahsoka do? She supported him physically, putting her hand on his shoulder, and morally, saying comforting words, thereby, it seems to me, Ezra felt a little better, and Ezra wasn't even her student. What does Ahsoka do with her Padawan? She's just saying that she knows that how much Ezra meens to Sabine, and that we have to do what's right regardless of our feelings (so it's basically like, "I know how important your brother (Yes I love the brother/sister relationship between Ezra and Sabine more) is to you, but the whole galaxy is more important). That's it. No support, just words that were in no way comforting for Sabine.

Moreover, in her conversation with her student, Ahsoka didn’t even say the normal "I’m sorry." Why? Question for Filoni :/

And the last moment that infuriated me the most. When Ahsoka and Huang were in the mouth of Purrgil, Ahsoka began to say that Sabine willingly gave up the map and went with the enemies, and that "she made this choice for herself." Honestly, at that moment my fists clenched with anger. That is, Ahsoka didn’t even think that Sabine HAD to do this. That if she had not done this, she would have been calmly killed. Since the map, apparently, can only be destroyed with a lightsaber, and Sabine only had a blaster in her hand, in this situation, she would not have had time to get the lightsaber. Even if Sabine had let Ezra go and tried to destroy the map, Baylan would have killed her immediately. So in this situation, The Dark Jedi won and everything depended on Sabine, whether she would die or decide to stay alive. But Ahsoka apparently doesn’t care about her Padawan so much that she shifts all responsibility onto the girl and exposes Sabine as a selfish person who thinks only of herself (although she doesn’t act any better), and who would have been better off heroically, but pointlessly, dying. At this point, only Huang showed himself as a human being, and instead of making Sabine look like a bad decision, he sympathized with her, something Ahsoka didn’t do for half the series. This is the very case when a droid has more soul than a living person would seem to have.

Although the reunion of Master and Padawan was more or less normal, Filoni could have done it better, where for example both women admitted their mistakes (Sabine would apologize for the map, and Ahsoka would apologize for abandoning her long ago and for being cold towards her). But we have what we have.

I also want to touch on Ahsoka's logic that one life can be sacrificed for the sake of others. I understand that Ahsoka survived two wars, saw many deaths and faced the terrible truth in the face of Darth Vader, and it’s clear that she doesn’t want everything to happen again, but it seems to me that her thought is that one life can be sacrificed for the sake of millions of others, it also sounds selfish. According to this logic, any life is devalued and can be safely sacrificed. And it’s sad that Filoni and his Ahsoka series are trying to make it seem like Sabine is to blame for everything, that "she’s such a fool that she decided to do this." (And which, by the way, worked, since I saw how some people on the network actually said that Sabine is selfish).

Yes, I won’t say that Sabine is an innocent dandelion, but the blame lies not only with her. In my opinion, Thrawn would have returned anyway, he just would have been given a few more years of delay and to say that Sabine decided to sacrifice the galaxy for Ezra was a terrible act, I just want to ask: if you were in Sabine’s place, and in Ezra's place were your children, brothers or sisters, or just someone important to you and you were given the choice to abandon him/her thereby, save the galaxy or try to save him/her? Personally, if I were Sabine, I would do exactly the same.

As a result, I can say that Filoni spoiled his own well-written character, making the wise and brave non-Jedi Ahsoka in a cold and at the same time cowardly woman who had forgotten how to show sympathy for the one who needed it most, namely her apprentice. I don’t know if it was Filoni’s original idea to show Ahsoka in a more negative way (and show that the old ways of the Jedi, which Ahsoka is trying to follow again, will not lead to anything good) or if he thought that this was the same Ahsoka that we fell in love with, and if so, then it’s just a sad spectacle that the man who gave us Clone Wars and Rebels ended up changing his own character for the worse.

(As for the idea that Sabine became a Jedi, I’ll probably tell you my opinion later).

Phew, finally after express all my accumulated thoughts, I created another poll:

So, I keep seeing MDZS comparison posts...

There are people who fell down the MDZS rabbit hole via the novel, and followed the developing media that paralleled the novel, and others who only know the CQL drama. While the content on both sides does differ, based on media control, these facts remain the same:

Jin Guangshan is the most vile character:

Constantly cheated on his wife

Raped his best friend's wife, resulting in Qin Su

Made false promises to his conquests, especially women who were desperate for a better life where they weren't looked down upon for doing what they needed to, to survive/Meng Shi (possibly Mo Xuanyu's mother as well)

Strung his son along

Sneered at the Wens, but was against the Sunshot Campaign like a coward

Punished the innocent if it made him look good

Started all the BS by pushing MY/JGY down the steps of Koi Tower when he was a child

Lan Xichen is the most tragic character:

Felt helpless as Wangji was brutally punished, and live with depression after Wuxian's death

Couldn't say goodbye to his father

Learned his best friend was killed by someone he loved with his own family's arts

Mortally wounded JGY for a reason that may or may not have been true

Was willing to die with JGY, only to be spared and watch him die at the hand of his deceased best friend

Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao is the cruelest character:

Killed the man who gave him a new life after his mother died

Betrayed the boy who saw him as a brother from day one

Killed his own family

Made Wei Wuxian a scapegoat

Was willing to kill a bunch of kids and frame Wei Wuxian AGAIN

Almost killed a majority of the cultivation world in the same plan

Threatened the life of the nephew he raised after killing his brother

Threw Mo Xuanyu away instead of helping him

Betrayed Lan Xichen, yet still claimed he never hurt him

Nie Huaisang is a scary genius:

Spent ten years planning Jin Guangyao's demise, complete with back-ups and fallbacks.

Is actually a very capable cultivator despite not following the "normal" methods (at least he doesn't follow demonic cultivation) because how else could he have successfully sealed the coffin?

Lan Wangji is the most loyal character:

Continued to support Wei Wuxian despite everything going downhill.

Proudly took any and all punishments dealt out by his sect's rules

Visits Xichen during his Seclusion, just as Xichen visited him during this three-year Seclusion

These are my personal analysis of these characters, I have no expectations of others to agree.

This is a very interesting way of seeing AI, both the areas where it can be good, and where it most definitely isn't.

It also helped me come to terms with the fact that I absolutely hate the so-called 'creative AI' (which, as far as I'm concerned, of 'creative' they've got nothing, but that aside), I do realize that AIs that help identify cancerous cells, that help come up with vaccines, that detect engravings that are so old the human eye might not be able to make them out (though the humans are stil needed to actually read the runes/script), they're a good thing. I like the distinction made in this post.

What I'd like to add is this. A comment was made about how people can feel pride for something they never worked on... I think it's no different from when people would still another's work and call it theirs. I had this personal experience, and know quite a few others who have. Our fics were stolen (some more than once, by a single person, or different ones) by individuals who'd post somewhere we didn't, and clal the stories their own.

The person who stole and posted a couple of my fics under their own name went as far as answering a comment from one of the readers, who asked how she could write something so sad, stating that she cried while writing it! Like... what the hell?!

On the one, it made me furious, but on the other. I mean, she might have been able to lie to the reader. But she knew she didn't write that. What satisfaction could she really get from people praising something she had no hand in making? And it's not like she was making money of it, so not that either.

On the AI-front, I suppose they might say they aren't stealing anything (though that's debatable, considering what we know of how these sort of AIs are 'trained'). But the matter remains, it does happen, though like the previous poster, I will never understand either how someone, anyone, can find happiness in people praising something they'll always know isn't theirs.

I usually don't disagree with posts when I reblog, but this time I must.

Now. Do all fan-creators want con-crit? No. But that doesn't mean none of them do. I certainly do.

What we do need is to first establish what qualifies as con-crit. Personally, I like people telling me what they like, what they don't. If they liked how I handled a particular topic (I've written gay, lesbian, pansexual, aro and ace characters, platonic relationships, aromantic relationships, polyamory, PTSD, etc). Especially when I'm handling a new topic I'm very interested in what people think of my take on them.

Or like, I'm a cis woman, panromantic and pansexual. I'm not aro or ace, so if I happen to write a character that is that, and I do it wrong, I'd rather someone who knows better tell me, so I can improve.

Also, while I do try to research things, I don't always get things right. I've made several mistakes, for example, regarding laws in the US, particularly the laws that are different depending on the state. I've had people point it out when I make mistakes, and I'm grateful for that. It might sometimes take me a long time to make the needed corrections, but I do put it on my to-do list.

Now, having said all that, I'm aware that not everyone feels like this. Whether because they're the kind of writer that, when they finish a fic they consider it done and refuse to go back to it for any reason. That they're too busy to go back, or whatever else. They have their reasons, and they're valid.

So maybe the bottom line on this ought to be that, before offering con-crit one should know whether the author will welcome it or not (I always write in my ANs that I do!). And if you're not sure, you could probably erre on the side of caution. I doubt there's any writer that doesn't like to see an emoticon, or something like "Nice", "I liked it", "Good work". Even the smallest word is always welcome.

the question isn't 'is con crit okay?' that's a terrible way to frame the issue.

the question is 'do fan creators want your con crit?' and the answer is clearly overwhelmingly No!

like, are hugs okay? theoretically, sure. but if you're going around hugging strangers who don't want you to, and they have fucking told you so, then you are in fact an asshole and should knock it off.

I'd never heard (read) it put that way. The idea of pleasure, of joy, being something we should be afraid of... I thought we'd left behind that idea back in the dark ages!

Only we haven't, have we? and I mean, if you're afraid of your own personal pleasure... not gonna judge, to each their own and all that. But why do some people feel with the right to judge, to want to curtail other people's pleasures? As long as they're not hurting others in nonconsensual ways, what business is it of theirs?!

I find especially worrying that someone in healthcare would have this viewpoint.

Personally, I get migraines, some even pretty strong, several times a month. I have pills that I only take when one of them is starting, but they're strong (like, surgery-level pain-medication strong). They're good, so good! And the thought that someone could try to take them away, leaving me with pain so strong that it literally has made me contemplate whether a hole in my head might ease it somehow (this was before I was officially diagnosed and got my prescription; I'm not suicidal or crazy, or anything like that); the thought that someone might actually believe that me not being in pain is a bad thing...

It's crazy, that's what it is.

Now, ADHD might not be literal pain, but it's still something that can make life so very difficult, and if it can be made better, why shouldn't it? Why is it that some people believe we need to suffer when there are ways we could not?

I don't understand.

The other day I told a friend of mine that I never forget to take my ADHD meds because I fucking love my ADHD meds. I'm in my late 30s, I didn't finally get a diagnosis and meds until less than two years ago, and they have changed my entire life.

And he raised his eyebrow at me. We'd been discussing addictive medications a few minutes before, like the Tramadol I finally got from the pain specialist to take once a week or so to give me a break from my chronic pain, so I reassured him that methylpenidate (Ritalin/Concerta) is not addictive (at least not in people with ADHD).

His response? To raise his eyebrow even harder and say "Well it sure SOUNDS like it's addictive!"

And I had to explain to this man - who works in a healthcare related job by the way - that just because medication makes you feel good and helps you, just because you look forward to taking it, that doesn't make it addictive or dangerous. And he wasn't convinced.

The simple fact that I was excited to take a daily pill that has literally changed my life, after decades of fighting to get that medication, made him think I shouldn't be taking it so often. That it must inherently be dangerous.

I'm not even in America, but I'm pretty sure this attitude began there and then spread over here to Europe. This Puritan idea of "if something feels good, you must beware of it. Pleasure is dangerous, it is sinful, it is addiction, it is evil."

I know too many people who subconsciously believe that pleasure = addictive = dangerous = bad. Joy is a slippery slope to hell.

So here is your reminder for today that you don't need to be afraid of feeling good. If something improves your life, use it. Even if it is addictive - learn what that addiction means, whether the addiction is inherently dangerous or not, and whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks and risks.

My ADHD meds are, in fact, not addictive. But I will take them every day because they make my life orders of magnitude easier. I will enjoy them every time I take them.

My tramadol is addictive. I will still take it. I will keep it on a schedule to avoid becoming addicted, primarily because addiction in this case would mean reduced effectiveness. But I am not afraid of my painkillers. They are life changing.

Take your meds, everyone. Don't let anyone scare you away from doing something that improves your life.

ok can you explain why Nymphadora and Remus belong together? It feels like they came out of nowhere in the books

Honestly? No.

I read all the books, every single one, practically as soon as they came out, I've read all of them at least twice, and still that particular pairing took me so much by surprise I actually wondered if I missed something, skipped sections on the story and didn't notice it.

Really, I think the earliest reference I consciously remember seeing (in the books) is in relation to Tonks' patronus, and even then, it's written in such a way that you can think it's related to Sirius being dead. Especially because at that point in the narrative, they were going into that, into Harry's grief over his death.

I think they're the sort of pairing that's supposed to have formed in the background, kind of like Fleur and Bill.

Now, I'm not saying they couldn't have been good together. And I'm saying could and not are/were, because we see so little of them... Tonks clearly cared for Remus deeply, she didn't care at all that he was a wolf, was willing to form a family with him despite how difficult it might be, and that's noble.

He... he wasn't a bad person, though he clearly had his issues, considering that he tried to leave her at least once (or twice, depending on how you see the second time). All the years spent on the edges, not really being part of society clearly affected him, and the way he was raised to believe he was less because of his condition didn't help either. Also, the war going on, the constant danger, didn't do them any favors so...

In my worst days I might even think that they were just there to add to the drama. I mean, I totally understand that it's war, people die, of course. People lose their loved ones, parents lose their children, children their parents, etc. But considering that we didn't see pretty much any of the development of their story straight out. And then the way it ended. It feels like they were just put together to create more drama when they were killed-off in the battle.

The fact that there's even a scene in the movie (which isn't in the books) that seems to show the moment right before they die, and the way they show their bodies afterwards just seems to confirm this theory to me.

So, that's what I think, I could be wrong. And I've no doubt that the big fans of the pairing will love to fight me on my ideas, but that's fine as well. This is, after all, just my opinion. In the end, I'm just a reader, my having an interpretation of what I read doesn't mean it's the only one there can be.

i think remadora is meant to be a surprise (that's why the patronus and its possible relation to sirius is a red herring, harry's the one that gets confused and in turn confuses the reader), but i dont think it works. if you read pottermore, for example, they werent even together before the hospital confession scene in book 6. i like the ship, personally, and i can see why they fell for each other on a theoretical level, but im not surprised that it isnt popular. it lacks a lot of meat to sink your teeth into.

I think popularity depends on where you are and who you're asking. I've read a lot of fics, that were written after book six, that include Remadora. Of course, those that were written before tend to use other pairings (it seemed to be popular at one point to pair her with Charlie Wesley, I believe; also the Remus/Sirius pairing was really popular for a while, and still is in certain circles).

I think I did read Pottermore, but that was years ago, when I was more into HP than I am now. Nowadays I'm far more likely to re-read some old favs of mine when it comes to HP, for a bit of comfort reading, I really spend most of the time in other fandoms.

A lot of the pairings in HP fandom have this characteristic, this 'lack of meat' as you call it. That's because, understandably, the author preferred to follow a specific character (Harry) so while there are others around, and they're important, often we hear about what happens to them, instead of seeing it.

I mention Fleur and Bill before. But there's also Percy and Penny, they're mentioned at one point, and then forgotten about later. Even Hinny. Romione is perhaps the only more-than-half-developed pairing in the whole series of books, and that only if you believe that their constant arguing is truly the equivalent of pigtail-pulling and that that in turn is a good basis for a good, mature, lasting, relationship (I don't).

It's not our obligation as artists/writers to remind people when something is bad/wrong. They should know that already. If they don't, that's due to their own education, and the responsibility of someone else entirely. We as artists/writers are not their parents, or teachers, or anything of the sort.

We're also not responsible if what we create hurts them. Because it wasn't made to hurt, and as has been stated before, we aren't forcing our work on anyone. If it hurts you, stop reading/watching, move on!

If someone else uses our work to do harm to someone, that's on the person who's doing the harm, not on its creator (that's like saying that the person who made a gun is to blame if someone else kills people with it!).

People need to learn to differentiate, and not blame creators simply because we're an easier target than the actual bad people who want to, or have caused, harm.

🔹 Someone else's fiction cannot cause you physical harm.

🔹If someone else's fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.

🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.

🔹Someone else's fiction is not about your personal trauma.

🔹When reading or watching fiction, you always have the power. You can always stop. You are never reading fiction without your own consent.

🔹Fiction writers are not responsible for other people's mental health.

🔹The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.

🔹Just because someone writes about bad things happening, doesn't mean they want those things to happen.

🔹Don't like? Don't read.

Bottom-line, the problem's not the fandom. It's not even the people truly, geniunly invested in it. It's the people who just want a reason to be angry, to argue and fight with others and who're seeing the fandom (any fandom!) as an excuse to do just that.

one big thing i think people outside fandom (like, all fandoms, fandom in general, not any particular one) tend to misunderstand is they know it's a subculture of people who are weirdly deeply invested in fictional media, and they hear about drama caused by people in those subcultures being unhinged in not-fun ways, and they think the unhingedness comes from the fact of being overinvested in works of fiction.

which is a natural assumption, but in my experience that's not really the case? like in my experience the drama llamas in fandom are usually not the ones who are just genuinely very deeply into the fiction. i've known people who are basically thinking about star trek or x-men comics or supernatural pretty much 100% of their free time and ime that type of person is usually very nice and surprisingly functional in their regular life. when someone's a constant nexus of fandom drama it's usually not that they are obsessed with the actual work of fiction the fandom is about, it's at least one of the following:

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but their unhealthy parasocial relationships with one or more of the people who created it

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but some elaborate shared-universe subset of fanfic about it that's only barely related to the original at this point, and/or an esoteric reading-against-the-text reinterpretation of the source material (often if the canon is active and ongoing this leads to becoming actively hostile toward it for its inevitably increasing failure to conform to their preferred fanon)

what they're obsessed with is not the source material but the fandom itself and gathering clout within it, so that the source material basically only exists to them as a tool for scoring points in increasingly arcane fandom disputes

and very often you get the same person doing 2 and sometimes even all 3 of these, and that's where the trouble really starts

Truly, people in fandom nowadays will never know how good they have it, compared to those of us who started back then (it was about 22 years ago for me, back in the early 2000s, though I know some things existed before then).

The whole "don't talk about X"... not about anime and manga because cartoons are supposed to be for kids (nevermind that so many of those are most definitely Not meant for children!), not about... so many other things because they'll think you're just weird. And of course, the whole getting warned/sued, why? Well, it depends on who you ask, mostly I think that out of fear from the creators that your content might be better than theirs! (Truly, I know at least two Bleach fics that are way better than the official final arc!).

Website like Ffnet, and Mediaminer, and so many other did what they could. And it wasn't perfect, but people learned as they went. I think in many ways AO3 is the result of all that was learned throughout the years and the many previous attempts at creating a safe place for fandom.

I also agree with those saying we must not forget this history. I've had people actually mock me for my disclaimers. People we clearly have no idea they were once so necessary, or why. Or people calling me out for warning for slash content, accusing me of being homophobic or something (more than half of what I write nowadays is slash people, I'm most definitely not homophobic!). When truth is that I literally had people stop reading my fics halfway when I'd add a small gay couple (this was early on, when I was first starting to write slash). I was told I had to warn for these things in case people were offended. So I did what I was told I had to do. As did many others.

Also, people making money out of fanwork, and not just hoping for it, but expecting to be paid for (I'll never understand where this even came from, to be honest, but then I suppose I'm a different generation from many of the newer fans).

And no, being past our twenties and still involved in fandom doesn't make us cringe!

So I’m on AO3 and I see a lot of people who put “I do not own [insert fandom here]” before their story.

Like, I came on this site to read FAN fiction. This is a FAN fiction site. I’m fully aware that you don’t own the fandom or the characters. That’s why it’s called FAN FICTION.

Do we writers love comments? Definitely.

Kudos and bookmarks? Absolutely!

Do we need them? No, not really.

Readers don't need to do any of the above things to be a 'good reader', all they have to do is read (and hopefully enjoy). It's all we, as writers, truly want. Yes, we enjoy feedback, and reactions and all that. But we write for you all to read, and that's that.

people on my dash are annoying again and i'm tired of being a bitch about it so let me just say - if you read my fics and don't leave a comment, you're fine. it's fine. I'm not mad, I don't think you ungrateful, or an asshole, or whatever other guilt-trippy bullshit people spout here day in and day out. I post my stuff in the hopes of it bringing others joy, too, and yes of course comments bring me joy in return, but I don't think anyone owes them to me. if it brings you joy and i never know, if you "only" leave kudos, if you only lurk, if you literally never interact with me for literally whatever reason, it's fine. i promise. i love you. i hope the words bring you joy without there being any hang-ups about it <3

right, i was asleep when dying light the beast announced (timezone suck) and for a while i thought the beast was tv show for dying light series or a book maybe but

NOOOOOO IT WAS DL1: THE FOLLOWING SEQUEL!?!??!?!?! AND IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY DL2 DLC2!?!?!?!?!?!? AND WAS SCRAPPED AND COMBINED MORE TO BE "a standalone game fraturing Kyle Crane to bridge the two main games" AND WAS PUT UNDER DL2 ULTIMATE VER!?!?!?!?!?!? IF ITS A DL1 SEQUEL WHY BOTHER TO OUT IN ***UNDER*** ONE OF DL2 VER!?!?!?!?

Aiden's story is so under development compared to Kyle's. Yes I only own and play the game for 2 months but I've been following DL and DL2 since, idk 2018-2019???? There are so many plot holes on Aiden's story, what happen after the ending and when he left Villedor, does his infection sped up, etc, and Carnage Hall as DL2 DLC doesn't explain it. Compared to Aiden's, Kyle got the Following after the main game ended and his future is explained. At this point, I'm disappointed they kept milking Kyle for contents and put Aiden in the dark. That's not how you guys making story.

Being mad and disappointed aside, I wonder how they handle the game and its story. Are they gonna milking Kyle more? Are they gonna 'kill' Aiden? Does Aiden appear on the game? And are they really bridging the two games? Well, let's fuck around and find out, I guess.
