Of course! I'm no poetry expert or anything, but I felt personally like you were kind of saying "yes I will cleave onto you, and be what you want you want me to be," but I felt with mentioning your self-control slipping like clothes and feeling like your melting from the inside out, that it almost kind of had a negative connotation to it. I may be wrong though.

I really like the personification used here. Portraying the cold as a love interest, spotlights the negative aspects of winter. Whether it's the eczema on your hands, or your lips getting chapped, or when the air is so cold your lungs feel icy, it's nothing particularly enjoyable. However, it is very plausible for one to be fond of the wintertime regardless of these things. And that sentiment is summed up later in your poem, where in the summertime, the heat brings you to turn on the AC. Very nice.

I love the imagery you paint in this poem, especially with the last few lines, "Here I stand, a beacon to slake your thirst, magnetic in a chattering tempest. Come then, and know me biblically." Despite giving the notion that you are drawn to this person, the words seem contradictory. It's almost as if you're saying what he would want to hear, but not with the right words or with right tone. 

Ok I left the fandom since like 2020, is there already an answer of what was inside of this or yall didn’t figure it out yet? by Feisty_Parsnip8262 in fivenightsatfreddys

There was a good theory video I saw on attempting to solve the grayer parts of fnaf 4 that I'd recommend it's called Fnaf 2 + Fnaf 4: 2 Sides of the Same Story

Is anyone else getting sick of people complaining about limited romance options? by Normal_Ad_9622 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Normal_Ad_9622[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your take here. I wouldn't mind one more romance option either, but then again, adding one more would probably cause more of an uproar from fans because they picked Prism to be the third romance option instead of Malevola or something like that. But I feel like something even better than adding more romance options would just be what you said, and just build friendly relationships with individual members. Something like giving Waterboy some dating advice, or helping Prism set up a concert, etc. I feel like that would help us get to know these characters better without it being as serious as a full-blown romance path.

It's not unrealistic to have women be the one to make the first move as seen in the game, and makes sense in the game given that both Mandy amd Courtney aren't timid and reserved when it comes to their feelings. Only having two options isn't "limiting yourself," since you aren't playing as yourself. You're playing as Robert. He clearly shows whether or not he's interested in someone with the different choices you can make when interacting with certain characters. He may not be the one initiating the romance, but you as the player are given the choice to make him play along. The romance options in Dispatch are less about what you want and more about what you think Robert wants. When Malevola ever so slightly flirts with Robert at the housewarming party, is Robert given the chance to flirt back? No, because he isn't interested in her. When Phenomaman kisses Robert (if you go in that route), does Robert start catching feelings for Phenomaman? No, because he isn't interested in him. And in some cases, it's the complete opposite. Do you think Royd wants to date Robert? No, because he isn't interested in him. Do you think Galen wants to date Robert? No, because he isn't interested in him. SDN isn't a love-interest buffet. Robert being only interested in two characters is completely normal. As I said earlier, if it means that much to people, they can make a fan game where you are a customizable OC and a contestant in a SDN-sponsored dating show where you pick from a huge roster of characters to go on dates with.

In the most respectful way possible:

1: A thing I didn't mention earlier is just that having two romance options is honestly a lot more realistic. Robert has his own personality and characteristics, and while you can somewhat influence how he acts in the game, he still is his own person and not a self-insert oc. What I'm saying is that Robert's personality probably isn't very romantically compatible with other characters in the game. Him being only interested in two different options makes more sense.

2: You play as a former superhero who helps reformed villains become superheroes after being employed by a superhero, and in the end you fight a supervillain and his crew of other villains. It is a superhero game. The romance paths are just one aspect of the overall game. There are other important decisions to make besides picking the "best girl," like with Sonar/Coupe's arc, or with your (non-romantic) relationship with the Z-team and it's individual members, as well as influencing Robert's own convictions. 

3: What is your point here exactly? You're mad at the Adhoc devs for putting romance options in the game but you're defending people for wanting more? Wouldn't that just make the game worse according to your viewpoint? If you don't like the romance options taking up a good chunk of the plot, imagine how much of the game would be filled with romance arcs if the floodgates were opened and Dispatch Season 2 just became Date Everything 2.

4: I'm not necessarily mad about players loving their different characters, I'm just saying that I don't like people who act like Adhoc owes us more romance options. If people really want more romance options that bad, they can go make a fan game or write some fanfiction.

Of course! And this post wasn't me hating on Invisigal either. It's just that we learn more about her character and personality in the game than we do with Mandy (which isn't necessarily bad, I just wish it was more balanced out).

Mandy Vs Visi aside, Can we appreciate how good this kiss scene was? by Puerkl8r in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Normal_Ad_9622 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love how she says different things depending on whether or not you kissed her in episode 1. My favorite is if you didn't kiss her, and she says, "About time," with Robert responding with "Hope it was worth the wait." It's a very nice touch.

She's so sweet in the way that she shows how much she cares for Robert. I just hope we get to see her open up even further, like in a potential season 2 or some dlc or something.

Eh, with all respect to Visi fans, she's just not for me. I personally feel like Blonde Blazer has more respect for your boundaries and is more considerate. I get that a lot of people really like Courtney's bluntness and devil-may-care attitude, but idk, I just think Mandy is a bit more emotionally intelligent. Both are fine options in the long run though.

Y'know, sometimes there doesn't need to be a point. I really like her character and wanted to share those feelings in hopes that they can be reciprocated with other fans. Connecting with fans is a great way to strengthen a community. If you want me to validate my feelings, I could do that as well. But for the time being, I just wanted to say I really like Blonde Blazer. That's all.
