Now this will be interesting… (or maybe not, who knows)

Fight it all you want Andrew, you’ll end up in the same place… (Not meant for anything real, just a dumb edit)

TCOAAL has lots of optional dialogue interactions. Which is YOUR favorite?

(I like the Cliffhanger phone scene, the humor and dialogue is amazing, the CGs are great, Andrew’s smug demeanor is entertaining, and it reveals some of Andrew’s true feelings for Ashley which is nice to have after the smack in the car)

99% of Andrew’s mind is freaking out… meanwhile the 1% hiding in the darkest corner of his mind is thinking of plausible deniability (people say how adult ashley copied the choker from teen julia so I took that and… yeah…) (another dumb post)

Are these most likely insignificant details that don’t actually matter? Probably. BUT, it would be insane if this speculation was true, and go to show how NOT NORMAL Andrew Graves really is…
(Honest made this post because I’m feeling kinda… miserable, at the moment and just wanted to make something stupid… I’ll do an actual analysis post next week or something…)

If you didn’t know, in Episode 2, when the cultist first enters your room, you can instead take Ashley back to the cultist club and have an optional interaction where you summon Lord Unknown (You can see a gameplay portion of that here at this timestamp, lasts roughly 12 minutes: https://youtu.be/WGLnvglJX3c?t=1113). Given that Andrew and Ashley will return to the club in Burial and get involved with the cult, it might have some effect… (Fan art by Michelle_4strid on twitter: https://x.com/Michelle_4strid/status/1772372680680894845)

These two are something else… (the 'asset' holding was accidental btw, it was originally supposed to have a different ending, but this is so much better)

I tried to make interesting seat positions, but I was running out of characters combos to put… anyways, where sit?

Andrew’s reaction has (maybe?) been amplified for comedic reasons… BUT we did see his potential for jealous outburst when Ashley was going on a date with douchebag, so… (Now how will Ashley use this against him…)

TCOAAL is a story where unexpected things happen (I feel like that’s most stories, but still).... Which of these unexpected moments or plot beats are YOUR favorite?

(The kisses from Andrew and Ashley in Shots & Such were definitely unexpected for me, given how distressing the route was beforehand and how opposed the duo seemed to each other (though small moments compassion did happen), but it works well because this moment where the duo having their feelings somewhat revealed and Andrew’s inability to commit to them then serves as the basis to make the route even more horrific and tragic, which works very effectively for the story of the route overall, even if it is distressing…(also the CGs are great))

Ashley feels terrible, you gotta cheer her up buddy

Oh yeah happy mother’s day, my actual mom is really really good, is probably why I find Renee so abhorrent by comparison

Ummm…her head makes for suitable kicking material (okay for a real one… the mistreatment of Andy and Leyley isn’t COMPLETELY her fault, having a unsupportive family herself and only being 15 when having Andy are factors…………… but yeah she still sucks at motherhood)
(Also my actual mom is really great so happy mother’s day to her!)

Sure the Grandma isn’t 100% perfect, but considering that she is in an unbelievably shit situation in having to navigate around the Grandpa’s horribleness and Renee’s terrible parenting, I’d say she’s, at the very least, alright in my book, and seems much more caring than Renee (Trying to give Andy an out on the punishment by letting him reflect alone in his room, offering him an extra large breakfast the next day; not much of a bar, but still). Happy mother’s day to her!
(And yes, Mother’s Day includes celebrating anyone who’s a mother, including Grandma’s)
(Also I swear if the Grandma turns out to be horrible in a future episode-)

Basically any version where Ashley looks different, including in talking sprites (Normal Ashley, Teen Ashley, Child Ashley) or CGs (ex. Burial Questionable Ashley, Teen Princess Shirt Ashley, Midsummer Devlog Art Ashley, etc.), or any others, I guess the tar soul/entity Ashley from the Ep3A car vision would also count… (Fan art by wakuwakuk_mikan on twitter: https://x.com/wakuwakuk_mikan/status/2052623290590732689)

The situations these two dumbasses end up in… (similar to how Ashley tricked the hitman in Ep2) (Also if anyone wants the Ashley sprite let me know I guess)

Do you want to parent a hollow emotionally reserved serial liar OR an extremely emotional self loathing brat? (PS pls try NOT to make this…weird)

If Douglas wasn’t a complete doormat, just more of a non interventionist… he knows, even if the siblings argue during the day, that night is when peace (and cuddling) occurs

While TCOAAL is a psychological horror with many dark and twisted moments, there is also some funny and absurdest stuff as well. This humor is often in optional dialogue and interactions, but also sometimes finds its way into the main story through absurd or unusual situations. Which main story moment in TCOAAL is the funniest to YOU?
(I personally like the accusation scene at the beginning of Burial route, just the absurdity of Renee calling Andrew out, him freaking out, and then Ashley’s funny and cute reaction (with the cg also being adorable) is just hilarious to me)

We’ve all probably been there…although for this scenario it’s also awkward for other reasons in particular…
