/lisg/ - Life is Strange General #437

does anyone have browushki's artwork?

THAT'S A FUNNY WAY TO SPELL KATE

Molli is #1

Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue. Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.

(amazing post btw, legit choked me up a little. You earned that dream Chloe, you're gonna rattle the stars kid.)

Thanks anons, that's way better.

C'mon guys, it's only five letters, M-O-L-L-I. How hard can it be.

...

Yes, but most of it is Rachel stuff.

Blackwell's Bathroom, Arcadia, The World - overcoming obstacles, pushing their own personal frontiers in an ever-so-combined effort.

"But when you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind
So Max, climb in
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win"

(Sorry btw. - I think you'd wanted to make a thread? And I thought you weren't around to. I will spam Halloween pics over the weekend so you can make one on Monday!)

There are some great artworks that are of Max and Chloe though right? Could you make an imgur album so I can download from there please? I'd appreciate it..

>Thunder Road reference
Don't make me fall for you user. I was already Ado Annie-ing it up in the last thread.

>It also just occurred to me how well the Streets of Fire soundtrack suits Max and Chloe
You and me we're going nowhere slowly and we've gotta get away from the past. There's nothing wrong with going nowhere, baby, but we should be going nowhere fast.
And I don't know where I ever got the bright idea that I was cool. So alone and independent, but I'm depending on you now and you'll always be the only thing that I just can't be without, and I'm out for you tonight.

>I think you'd wanted to make a thread?
!00% slipped my mind. Besides, your last thread was great! I'm very proud of you for having the courage to do another one. You should keep it up, you have a real knack for it.

>There are some great artworks that are of Max and Chloe though right?
I don't think there are, no. Were you thinking of any specific ones? Because then maybe I don't have all their artworks after all. These two are the only of them together, and then there's one of Rachel and Chloe together and a doodle collection of faces.

You already love me, silly!

I didn't make the last thread, I just read All The Posts.

And yes, Springsteen's All-American We-against-the-World sound - so full of energy, freedom, nostalgia, sadness and love - lends itself well to the sentiment of the ending. Literally "On The Road".

...

And from a Google search I've just seen that there were two pictures on their deviantart that I did apparently not save. They don't appear to have been posted on their tumblr either, so I don't think I can easily get them now.

Here's the face thing though. Do you really want the Rachels?

Btw.: imgur a shit. If you really want the art in source quality, don't use imgur. It uses lossy compression.

>It's October
>Wake up to walk dog real quick
>Walk outside
>It's snowing
OH GOD! IT'S HAPPENING! PLEASE SPARE ME!
Accidentally bumped the old thread like a dumbass

Is that a Grahamfield pic...

Oh Chloe, you're so punny and adorkable.

>Vicky wanted to get lezzy with Max but was too shy

That's the real tragedy.

>You already love me, silly!
Oh I can't deny it.

>I didn't make the last thread, I just read All The Posts.
Oops, been up a little too long. Usually my detective skills would have would have foreseen that possibility. But even Shirley's deductive abilities are hindered when the midnight oil is burned to long.

>Springsteen's All-American We-against-the-World sound
>lends itself well to the sentiment of the ending
Absolutely. Though I feel it's a little too optimistic to represent the actual ending itself. Maybe more so say, 3 months down the line. When they're really ready to leave the past where it belongs. For the actual ending I think Tom Waits is our man. Wistful, restrained, crestfallen, but still ever so subtlety hopeful. And every bit as American Springsteen.

Across to Mississippi, across to Tennessee Across the Niagara, home I'll never be. Home in ol' Medora, home in Ol' Truckee. Apalachicola, home I'll never be. Home I'll never be. Home I'll never be.

I just really want the Maxs and Chloes that he's done really. I'd like the Rachels too but if its much of a hassle it doesn't matter as much. I just really like his style, this looks so nice imo.

What would you suggest to upload it to then? you can post them here if you'd like.. if it won't take too long.

>As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding
>Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them
>"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..."
>Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me."
>"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!"
>"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny."

No! It's Chloe with blonde hair. Look at those gray jeans and that white shirt looking through.

Well, maybe it was intended to be Warren. We'll never know and so just decide for yourself. Death of the artist. It's Chloe in my head.

Yeah, it depends what kind of sentiment you want to delve into there; what you think the mood or spirit of the moment is, or what kind of perspective you have on the whole ordeal for that matter. Realistically, more Waits - narratively, Springsteen.

Either way, the only really fitting song must be Obstacles! And fittingly enough, it combines both in tone and lyrically (depending on interpretation I guess) both wistful and hopeful notions.

Again, there are not any more Maxes or Chloes that I know of (besides that one "some doodles" image and one that focuses on Warren and has Max and Chloe in the background - both of which I unfortunately don't seem to have myself). I can post the Rachels here, sure.

if the Rachels look like that it's ok... i like the way Max looks in the one I posted and the one here I like Max and chloe plenty too. If you got more of those please post if not its all good thank you though

...

Sorry, there are only Rachels from here on out. Do you want them?

Oh she's much prettier here. If it's not going to take up your time or bother you, yeah I'd love to have them. I'm collecting as much LiS stuff as I can

It's a handful of images. Can do.

...

thank you!

...

...

Oh shib!

Screw all that. I just checked their vk again and realized they renamed their tumblr.

It's all here! scherbetnyi-limon.tumblr.com/tagged/life is strange

Still, as I remembered 5 pages of Rachel and not any more Max/Chloe besides those I mentioned. And is tagged as Grahamfield. Urgh. Death of the artist all the same.

This is only fitting, then.

Oh, and one more Max that I didn't remember was from this artist since it deviates pretty significantly from their usual style.

I don't usually say goodnight but people keep asking where I am so I'll do it tonight.

Goodnight lisg/! I'm gonna call it a night before I become completely incoherent. May dreams of blue haired wonders and freckled tokers... or... wait, never mind. Sweet dreams!

>Realistically, more Waits - narratively, Springsteen.
Exactly. I prefer Springsteen but still feel that Waits is more appropriate.

>the only really fitting song must be Obstacles
For sure. I actually think I like when the song is used the first time more. It was the first time I fully understood how amazing LiS was going to be. But there was no better song choice for Max and Chloe's send off. It really puts into perceptive how far they, and you, have come.

>spoiler
Fuck. Deleted.

...

>I actually think I like when the song is used the first time more.
I must agree, not least because the endings are a trainwreck in more than one regard. But more than whether I like its use the first or second time around better, I actually think the fact that they did bring it back is the most important part: End of Episode 1 - Max and Chloe on the cliff, reunited, together, holding on to each other, confiding in one another, Obstacles playing "throughout the town"; End of Episode 5 - Max and Chloe on the cliff, committed, in love, prevailing, entangled in one another in most of every sense, Obstacles playing them "out of the town".

The ultimate, truest foreshadowing. Even the meaning of the song and its tone changes accordingly between the points, interpretively. As you say, highlighting how far they've come - the lessons they've learned, realizations they've come to. Quite a brilliant fit indeed.

Goodnight Shirly!

oh cool what an interesting thing to look into Rachels room!

omg you're wonderful user thank you so much!

beautiful

goodnight buddy!

I'm still going to pretend that's blonde Chloe.

You're welcome. I'm glad you made me check and find their blog again. Those elusive Russian artists!

That's what I meant with "death of the author"!

Totally blonde Chloe.

Those Russians really are elusive, they vanish and have their own social networking sites and it makes things too complex!

>>That's what I meant with "death of the author"!
true. I don't think anyone actually got a Warren vibe at all from t hat. I bet s/he was commissioned that but secretly made it blonde Chloe.

Why is Rachel's face so masculine?

...

>I bet s/he was commissioned that but secretly made it blonde Chloe.
Cheeky thought. Accepting this headcanon.

They draw it so.

That said, her in-game face as depicted in the photos does have a masculine wideness to it. Native American cheekbones and all. :v)

But obviously that artist has a more specific idea of her that doesn't necessarily agree with in-game Rachel, visually and otherwise. (And in the photo with Frank, Rachel actually looks so cute that people thought she was Max!)

Honestly I never understood the Rachel obsession some fangirls have in the fandom. I mean, she has value to the narrative and she's certainly pretty... but she's just not a character at all. There's so many rich characters in the game, and Rachel practically (and literally) doesn't even exist. Maybe she's their wet self-insert dream, her not-existing making it easy for them to project their own ideas (and selves) onto her.

The artist did give her some very prominent jaw bones. Still, some of the pictures are really nice. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of art of Rach.

I have to sleep so goodnight /lisg/ stay comfy. Keep the thread alive, I hope things go back to normal soon, I don't understand why no one's showing up this week, it's bizarre!

That's Frank's jacket, the idea behind that drawing likely being to make her appear even more masculine that they usually do. She does have prominent features, so a defined jaw is possible.

There's not a whole lot Rachel art, but still way more than you'd expect for what is essentially a "non-character" (for example, I wouldn't be surprised if there's more Rachel art than for all actual side-characters combined - it sure seems that way).

They better find themselves back here for a weekend of spooks!

Sleep well.

Even though we never got to meet or even hear Rachel, I just wanted to know more about her.
Everyone has their own opinion of who she was and if she was good/bad. Personally, I think she was a very nice person who made some very big mistakes and paid for it dearly (Or deerly). She's a big part of the story but her history is unknown- just the fact she is playing some guiding force for Max and Chloe, perhaps to try to atone for her screw ups.
Maybe there is some timeline where Max saved her and Rachel got to be honest with Chloe.

I also have my own ideas and interpretations of Rachel, her value for the narrative and characters.

And I mean, I get what the appeal is with her too. Obviously people are interested in this person that at the least seemed to be integral to it all, mysterious and hard to "catch" - both in words and actuality.

So the "fascination" with her as a part of the narrative, having wanted to meet her, "understand her" - that all is obvious. But the obsession with her as a character; the fanfiction and fanart, the characterizations, headcanons, developing a character that ultimately has nothing to do with the game itself or its narrative, "loving" this character as much as actual characters - that's weird to me.

...

Kate smells.

...

Like wine.

...

Did her and Victoria take a wine-making class? Could be fun.

I'm enjoying all the art of Rachel. I get why some people don't think of her as a character or care about her beyond a story device, but I think she's pretty and the whole idea of her (Someone who influenced Chloe and helped her at a very bad time) is interesting.

So does anyone want more of these?

Basically, frenemies

I'd play her in a prequel-sequel.

Are the text LiS scripts?

Oh, pretty font and tasteful-yet-sufficient scaling. Well, either moar or share your script.

Would you happen to know the artist of that one? Google reverse search came up empty and I wanted to see if there was a larger one/more.

I hope the series has her in it. A prequel game would be great too (even though it would end very sadly) especially if you buy into the theory that she had the same power Max did. I don't think Rachel had it herself, but I do think she's part of the reason Max has it.

That's actually from the Visual Novel "Love is Strange". The artists are credited on their tumblr.

I think it's from Love is Strange.

>Lisamber

Gotcha. Thanks.
Still never played through that. I wish you could play as characters other than Max because then I would give it a try. I know there's multiple routes, but having Max with anyone other than Chloe just seems wrong to me.

=kek

Maybe, maybe not.
>share your script

>Our system thinks your post is spam. Please reformat and try again.
Sigh.

Yay.

Getting it down to a postable size ruins it though.

Thanks for the script, this is pretty fun to play around with.

No prob. I think it looks better with lighter images.
Have fun!

What would alt!Max and alt!Victoria do on Halloween?

That's an interesting effect as well. Almost like looking through a rainy window. What's the scale params for that, 5 int and 10 font?

Dress up, dance, drink. Make out.

Even alt!Max would have sooner or later stopped the drinking though, and rekindled with Chloe.

>That's an interesting effect as well. Almost like looking through a rainy window. What's the scale params for that, 5 int and 10 font?
For .

Go visit Chloe
But that timeline technically never happened so in reality, this year the three of them are going to meet up (Kate as well) in Arcadia Bay, grab some food together and catch up, and then go to a big Halloween party run by former Vortex Club members. Even after graduating Dana is still a big party-thrower.

Alice is going to be devastated and go looking for Lisa even if she has to travel the entire world

>Maybe she's their wet self-insert dream, her not-existing making it easy for them to project their own ideas (and selves) onto her.
this is exactly what I think it is. They never really show Rachel so she's got this ideal image about her, she sounds amazing and loved by all! Rachel doesn't look Masculine but if people confuse Max for her she's gotta be qt!

Maybe you could do these pictures with fewer words and only using words in that scene. Like a Picture of Max and Chloe looking at each other at the pool and it's the entire script from tht scene

/Lisg/ why are you dying!? I'm a trained doctor make way!

I miss lisg , it used to have actual discussion with posts every 2mins

Lisg will pick up after the live action series comes out.

/lisg/'s not dying. It's just a little slow right now. And if you want discussion then try to spur some. Unfortunately we don't have any news right now. Hopefully by the end of the year if Edouard's twitter and that Lifeisstrange2 website are any hints.

I wonder to what extent Victoria could be reformed
The Ep 5 timelines are a clusterfck, but IIRC, in the final one, you never actually talk to Victoria at the party which is a crucial moment in the Max-Victoria dynamic.
I guess seeing all the destruction from the storm would probably sober Victoria up just as much as anything that happened in the erased Ep5 timelines

IMO this 3-days-per-general speed is nicer than things were before. We still get the usual baitposters, but compared to just a month or so ago everything seems a lot more chill (ie, every thread doesn't turn into thousands of words of character-limit arguments over minutiae)

/lis/ is not dead.

It's just newfriends being unable to deal with a comfier pace.

As long as we have dedicated posters that keep it floating in downtimes, there'll be plenty people to chime in and things to chime in to.

We've had this 3-days-per-general rhythm for months before Episode 1 was made free.

Mission for /lisg/: Find the artist of pic related.

chillax sista

max looks like a puppy

I think Victoria would need to go into isolation for a little while and think about her own life. What she wants out of it and who she wants to be seen as.
After that time she may reach out to those she trusts such as Taylor, Max, or even Kate and find a way to apologize. From that point on she can just work on being herself, not creating some persona based on superiority and crushing any perceived competition. Her almost dying by the hands of a man she admired would surely be a huge wakeup call.
I can see Victoria becoming friends with Max, and very good friends with Kate, perhaps even civil with Chloe. As long as Chloe holds up her end, which she will out of respect for Max.

but cuter

I don't know if a newer person would know /lisg/ in any way other than kind of slow. The days of multiple threads in a day ended pretty long ago.
It's different but I don't think it's worse. I quite like the slower pacing and comfiness that came about after episode 5.

Chloe's right. Let's all just put on some music and be calm.

The cutest puppy!

>I don't know if a newer person would know /lisg/ in any way other than kind of slow.
Kind of slow, sure, but not this slow. After Episode 1 was made free, things picked up again a fair bit. So the anons that came with that wave and are still here now would not be used to it.

But I also like it more like this.

>Chloe's right. Let's all just put on some music and be calm.
Max and Chloe are dancing slowly to this: youtube.com/watch?v=kF9ijspj3l4
