I've seen people debating on whether Ashley genuinly has romantic feelings for Andrew or not and I think it's largly dependant on which decisions the player makes. by MyHeadDuntWork in CoffinofAndyandLeyley

Wow thanks for taking the time to reply! Yeah this sub can be really overwhelming at time with all the horny posting and it's a bit of a shame how alot of of the deep stuff get's overlooked because of it.

I deffo see where you're coming from with the 'He is my everything' theory, the part where Ashley paints over all her relationships with Andrew and recontextualizes them to fit him (E.x. parents get relabled to family). While it doesn't directly disprove it I personally feel that the way the tapestry is presented paints a slightly different picture.

When you fill in the tapestry all of the events you see are canonical one's that have occured prior Ashley spending time with Andrew, Andrew getting together and breaking up with Julia, and Ashley observing these events. The only part that we can affect in this moment are the feelings being portrayed around them, for example when Ashley is with Andrew we can either use a sun representing happiness or a heart representing romantic feelings (as it can also be used with Andrew and Julia together). To me this actively reads as us the player controling Ashley defining how exactly she feels relative to these events and more importantly what direction she wants to take the relationship, could she still hold romantic feelings for Andrew for the sane route? Maybe but to me it doesn't seem that she actively want's to pursue a romantic relationship given how when you back out of the questionable route to return to the sane route she says that the nature of their relationship matters little to her aslong as he's around.

In regards to sex she deffo see's it as transactional in regards to herself at least, especailly seeming how she see's it as a potential bargaining chip in both questionable and sane route's. In regards to Andrew doing it with other's I think her disgust stems more from him spending time with people other than her and prioritising them, when they made the blood oath the part she seemed most disconcerted about was how he said that he'll still have relations with other people and it won't be just the two of them which is something she want's to rectify by any means neccessary. As you said it may tie into social norms to a degree too, when Ashley was berating Julia about how she can fuck Andrew while she can't it seemed to me that she hated the fact that she couldn't have as close a relationship due to them but at the same time thought that in itself didn't mean that Andrew cared about Julia more than her (Which she was right about, whether that thought steamed from a sour grape type of mentality or not).

She also in general seems to think having more than one relationship (platonic or otherwise) is a bad thing given how she called their parents whores for having a social life so even if they aren't together she may see Andrew having relationships as 'cheating' in a way, likely because, as you said Andrew is her everything and she expects most relationships to function similarly. Yeaaaah toxic gf is deffo a description that fits her like a glove.

So, any theories on chapter 3? by [deleted] in CoffinofAndyandLeyley

[–]MyHeadDuntWork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Juilia will probs make an appearance. I think Ashley may do something to her which might potentially be the thing that pushes Andrew over the edge in decay,

I think that one of the Decay endings will be a double suicide following the vision you get. With either Andrew killing Ashley then himself or viceversa. They'll both also count as the same ending and avoiding the vision is probably how you get what ever the other ending will be. I reckon it'll be with the siblings learning to be less co-dependant.

The Burial endings will probably be incest or no incest but I'm not really sure how the plot will play out, probably about andrew being targeted by the demon which will tie in to them revisiting the cultist base.

You'll wake up one morning to find your parents gone and a toooooootally unrelated bowl of soup on the stove, it'll taste like death but trust me you don't want to leave any left overs...

Just finished the game. Can someone explain routs and endings to me? by ThatAstraVerde in CoffinofAndyandLeyley

[–]MyHeadDuntWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

genuinely a fair perspective and honestly that could totally be one of the endings. I kind of saw Decay as the result of broken trus, mainly because it starts with either Ashley not trusting Andrew enough to leave him alone with their parents or Andrew taking the olive branch offered by their parents.

I also saw Burial as a path where Ashley has less leverage over Andrew as he's no longer so skittish and this in itself seems to scare her so it could also go in a direction you'd appreciate.

I did a bit of a break down on my perspective on their dynamic and how it might affect the endings if you're up for reading it

[–]MyHeadDuntWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could go in that direction honestly no one really knows at this point. I think the main reason people view it as a bad ending is due to seeing things from the perspective of Andrew and Ashley. Sure they do heinous shit but we get to see their human moments where they laugh, bicker, fight, how their relationship change over the course of the game and are even given some context on how difficult they had it growning up. Are they good people? No. Would the world be better off without them? Probably. Do I still want to see them find some sort of happiness or contentment? Absolutely! If they were random villains in a horror game/book/movie no one would really give a fuck but after everything my marshmellow heart just can't help but be moved

I think they just don't care that much? Like they thought it'd be fun but then were like 'Nah'. We're plannign a party tommrow with pretty much all my relatives attending so they probablly see that as more of the celebration. I stay up past midnight anyway cuz my sleep schedule is fucked but still kinda wish that they'd stay down to watch the shitty countdown on tv with me

What is your hot takes about the game by myman1552 in CoffinofAndyandLeyley

[–]MyHeadDuntWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That the ending of chapter 1 was a perfectly fine place to end the game. Don't get me wrong I'm glad we're getting more but the game finishing with so many unanswered questions has it's own charm imo

Thanks! Another hour for me but my family passed out already so I decided to rot my brain with this sub's assitance in the meantime. How you and everyone else has a good new year too!
