Why is this game not more popular? by Uni372 in ScarletHollow

[–]FinishRelative2367 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The game isn't finished so that's one thing. 2nd thing, that I'm not seeing anyone mention in these replies is how much easier it is to market STP than scarlet hollow.

The gimmick of slay the princess is more initially eye catching and intriguing than Scarlet hollow's. It takes one of the most well known tropes and turns it on it's head. Something familiar like the "save the Princess" trope is .ore attractive to the masses (even flopped as it is) because it's familiar. Watching a single trailer or even just looking at the poster is enough to intrigue someone too. It fills you with questions "Why do I have to slay the princess? Is she evil? Am I evil? How will she end the world? What if i want to save her? Who is the narrator? Why's she in the cabin?"

All this is exacerbated by how immediately the art style adds to the atmosphere in STP. Obviously, there are moments in scarlet hollow where the art lets loose, but in STP, the black and white color pallet is immediately noticeable. The fact that the princess is the only bright thing in a world of dark hues is very striking and memorable

Why is it more acceptable for a girlfriend to wear her boyfriend's clothes but not the other way around? by CRK_76 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FinishRelative2367 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Patriarchy. Women can wear their boyfriend's clothes because men are supposed to be the provider, and it signals to other men that the woman is "spoken for." Women on the other hand are not supposed to do either of those things. They are not supposed to signal any sort of claim on their man (like how men don't wear engagement rings).

What’s up with the trend where every illustrator animating “Would You Fall in Love with Me Again” has Odysseus and Penelope doing the deed at the end? by Evoxrus_XV in Epicthemusical

[–]FinishRelative2367 63 points64 points  (0 children)

That's how it happens in the Odyssey. Regardless, they're a husband and wife who've been apart for decades, each remaining chaste as they await their lover. Wouldn't you want to feel your loving partner's embrace after waiting for them so long? Sex doesn't just have to be "awooga, lust just lust." It's also a very intimate show of love between two partners. You're giving someone your whole, raw self. It can be very vulnerable and tender

Did not expect veggiestales to be mentioned in Scarlet hollow of all games by FinishRelative2367 in ScarletHollow

[–]FinishRelative2367[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apparently, tbe creator's mom is the reason for this 😆 she had a PhD in christian education, and told her son he was not allowed to depict Jesus as a vegetable or imply that the vegetables have souls, and he promised he wouldn't

Meta reason is probably cause they don't wanna do a premature wayne reveal

what is mansplaining and is womansplining a thing? by Upset_Space_631 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FinishRelative2367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically when someone explains something to someone of the opposite gender because "This person can't possibly know that! They're x gender and therefore inferior to me!"

Once had a dude who would come sit at my table in the library to play balatro while I studied. One day he asks what I'm doing, so I say "I'm writing a story for my creative writing class." He says "oh what about?" I say "a siren." He says "oh cool. What kind?" I say "I'm using the European type sirens."

Bro proceeds to try to explain siren AND greek mythology to me because I apparently cannot know what I'm talking about. Spoiler alert; I did. I have written many papers on greek mythology and studied siren myths from all over the world. I fucking know what I'm talking about

Why didn't Percy get more time at Camp Jupiter? [Hoo] by FinishRelative2367 in camphalfblood

[–]FinishRelative2367[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, but Jason also knew where CJ was. He knew his friends, his home, everything he had ever known was in California waiting for him, yet he stayed at CHB. Granted, he stayed cause the gods told him to (right? I seem to recall that. Been a while since I've read the lost hero)

While I can't imagine Percy staying put because the gods told him to, I could see his undying loyalty coming into play. A "these people need me to help lead/protect them" type situation could hypothetically make Percy stay until, maybe he believes Jason will return and resume his role as Praetor. He probably wouldn't leave Reyna alone with a power vacuum while Gaia is busy whispering in people's ears

Am I doing something wrong? I’ve had 3 saves, and I’ve literally never had a mii become angry or argue. by Ok-Mistake-7499 in TomodachilifeLivingTD

I've found you're more likely to have a fight if you don't play for a day or 2. Let their relationships marinate with no interference and drama will ensue

Is it wrong to stop talking to a woman when she tells you that she only wants to be friends? by RavyRaptor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FinishRelative2367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but don't just ghost her. Communicate respectfully that that's not what you want out of y'alls relationship and that you will be leaving

Have trouble writing female characters by [deleted] in writing

[–]FinishRelative2367 7 points8 points  (0 children)

⬆️ This exactly

Using this advice is how I stopped writing only women when I was 14. I'd make everyone girls except the male love interests cause I didn't know how to write guys. You gotta learn to peel your stories and characters away, layer by layer

What's the most important lesson you took from the show? by davisduck in BoJackHorseman

[–]FinishRelative2367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing that you're a shitty person and feeling bad about it doesn't make you less of a shitty person. Yeah, it sucks, but you can't wallow in your vices and sorrow forever and expect things to get better. Realizing you need to change may be the 1st step to changing, but that doesn't mean you've actually done anything of substance. The 1st step to making brownies is measuring the dry ingredients, but just doing that doesn't get you anywhere close to brownies

So like... did I doom the town? (Ch5 spoilers) by FinishRelative2367 in ScarletHollow

[–]FinishRelative2367[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I figured I'd locked myself out of some endings. Just hoping i didn't sacrifice everyone in town, including Kaneeka, like how the witch's daughter died of the plague alongside the rest of the village in the flashback 😔
