this game hit so close to home that i can't help but wonder if that's sad or not. i love Gail, as a character, as a protagonist, in the beginning i nearly found myself thinking she seemed like kind of a douche but the more i spent time with her, the more i want to be her gf BECAUSE IT SHOULDVE BEEN ME NOT SUSIE understood.
and it's not just understanding, it's relating to this, very niche experience (at least how i see it), of being a queer, neurodivergent, shut-in transwoman that struggles daily with navigating her life, fears and trauma. feeling like you will NEVER in your life be understood until that one person shows up and turns your perception of reality upside down in more ways than one. you laugh, you cry, you hurt, you heal. you move on. you realize that no, you're not hopeless. things can get better.
you can even fuck ME PLEASE ME I WANT GAIL SO BAD a burger.
