Who works a harder job in SnS? Andrew or Ashley?

>>532125558
3A is basically the Silent Hill crossover with how much abstract imagery there is
>>532126553
An incestvania, eh?

That expression is really hot. Andrew is a lucky man to have his sister constantly doing cowgirl dryhumping him

>>532122291
We already did that years back but neither of us likes alcohol so it's not the same divine incestuous-platonic ritualistic fun for us un4chanately.
>>532122871
Realistically, Nemlei just wanted to add a man obsessed with woman trope somewhere and it's cool.

>neither of us likes alcohol
The taste, or the drunkenness? I love being drunk, but the process of getting drunk involves drinking alcohol, which has consistently been a fucking miserable experience. Completely worth it, though.

>>532129672
Personally I don't like the taste and I have never gotten drunk and it sounds like a horrible experience. I know they're Northern Euro, but I don't know how Andrew becomes an alcoholic in an hour or two in SnS like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life. Mind you I don't have much experience with alcohol, so my opinion is worthless.

It’s kind of cursed to see them in brighter clothing. Though I suppose if Coffin wasn’t monochrome you’d see how colourful Ashley wears her clothes when she was younger.

>>532130046
>Personally I don't like the taste
Very sane. Alcohol tastes horrible, but a good mixer like lemonade will hide most of the vodka taste.
>I have never gotten drunk and it sounds like a horrible experience
Nah, it's euphoric, especially when you share it with a cutie (like your cousin). It feels like you're walking on the moon. You start finding jokes more funny. And you find yourself wanting, and indeed getting, really squeezy tight hugs. Also, one of the great things about being drunk is that you can make yourself immediately sober on command, and then just as quickly resume your euphoric state. Being drunk shouldn't make you feel sick unless you are staring directly at lightbulbs and putting your ear right up against a jet engine.

Go drinking with your cousin! Bars are very hospitable, though it is often cheaper and comfier to just daydrink at home.

What makes you think that? This game has appeared in the news a couple of times already (As far as I KNOW), and still haven't accommodated fully in the collective consciousness. There is still place for retaliation.

Likelihood of Burial needing an Episode 4B?

>>532142467
A brother in the early 2000s would've called his sister gay for doing that.

Coffin is great because it partly scratches that itch in the part of the brain where the fascination of the morbid exists. I associate it with cold autumn nights, old, decaying Victorian cemeteries, abandoned buildings, and that place your mind goes when you end up on a rabbithole of high profile suicides, murders, etc and begin to ruminate on death, maybe even a little suicidal ideation of your own. You know how old cemeteries smell? I can't describe it, but it's something unique. I was never much of a horror game or film fan, but I love that sort of moody, atmospheric stuff that drives the imagination. I remember going for a walk on a moonlit night with heavy fog when I was about 14 and the blue shadows of the trees looming just beyond the veil as I walked unsettled me in a way I couldn't describe, and I wanted to immediately turn and go home, but yet it also compelled me to keep going even more. Coffin to me is like that, and I hope that when all is said and done, Nemlei releases her influences for a lot of the aesthetic and premise of the game because I demand more Coffincore.

In what aspect? Every good piece of incestuous romance media features a younger sister, it's the default assumption. Why? Because little sisters are the platonic ideal of sisterhood, they're the default assumption.

Grok remove her robin hood ahh boots and let me see them feet

>>532150332
>Every good piece of incestuous romance media features a younger sister
Wrong. Coffin is the exception that proves the rule: little sister romance on the whole is "help me stepbro I'm stuck" in literary form. Meanwhile, Japan has produced countless slowburn oneekino.

>>532151321
>Wrong
I'm correct. Let me turn it around on you: how does the sister being older alter the dynamic? If it doesn't, there is no purpose to her being older as men—statistically—overwhelmingly prefer younger women. When it does alter the dynamic, it puts her in a caretaker role or puts her in charge of the relationship, neither of which are appealing to men with testosterone, at that point you might as well read momshit. I'm always right.

Should a son be allowed to spank his mother if dad isn’t around to do it? It might sound weird but a major theme of this series is how out of control women get without proper discipline.

>>532151654

>andrew tate shit
Once again, random redpill grifters mentioned unprompted. I don't know why retards like that live in your head rent-free, but I assume it's for the same reasons you can't actually refute my position. Her being older does not enhance the dynamic, hence why all of the good incestuous romance fiction is about younger sisters.

I did, but you refused to comment, so I'll lay it out again:
I could just as easily say that YOU might as well read daughtershit. Your fallacy is taking a (strawman) position to an extreme nobody insists it be taken to.

Hey guys, Peter Griffin here to explain! Anon is implying that he is obviously not going to suggest that you read father-daughter incest as the logical conclusion of your little sister smut journey. This is because whatever armchair psychology you intend to project onto him is simply irrelevant on account of what Anon is declaratively seeking out not being defined as parent-child incest. Likewise, attempts to make similar projections would be equally irrelevant if flipped around for your own position. The ultimate point being made is that sisterfucking exists in its own right without being tied to Freudian crap.

Hagwife. Luv hag

>completely ignored
I'm proud of you /klaj/

>>532153216
You used an excessive amount of words to say very little. My position isn't a strawman, it's a logical extrapolation of literary shorthand. A sister being older does not enhance the sibling dynamic from a romantic perspective; similarly, if written in a way that's even semi-realistic it would not appreciably alter the dynamic because men are usually the ones in charge of the relationship, and when they aren't that relationship is usually hell on earth. If her being older does alter the dynamic in said piece of fiction, it literally always involves the sister acting more like a mother or being in charge of the relationship while also magically not losing respect for her counterpart for it. You trying to flip it around and say that younger sisters and older brothers might as well be daughter and father isn't remotely comparable, because the male default is preferring younger women. In literary shorthand, youth is correlated with naivety and deference to the elder, which is usually the authority figure. Conversely, that's also the male fantasy for a relationship.

My proof for all of this? Again, all of the good incestuous romance fiction is about little sisters. Your counter-argument to this is that there's supposedly tons of Japanese "literature" featuring older sisters that is somehow slowburn kino, but I'd argue that's likely not true because it's Japanese.

>>532153912
>You fuck her
What did she mean by this?

>>532154134
Starting puberty with your sister already having a pair of tits is ideal.

It is extremely jarring that you cite the male imperative or whatever without seeing that the younger brother should, as a consequence of this imperative, remain in charge of the relationship on account of being a man. This mommyshit is irrelevant strawmanning, and your argument about "defaults" doesn't even take father-daughter off the table; under your rules, why should fucking your daughter be less of a default than fucking your younger sister?

There is a sus at the very start

>>532154730
>without seeing that the younger brother should, as a consequence of this imperative, remain in charge of the relationship on account of being a man
That's the crux of my argument. In literature if you deviate from a default assumption there should be a purpose behind it, otherwise it's a distinction without a difference. "Literary shorthand" means that you are utilizing reader assumptions to fill in gaps so you don't have to explain literally everything in painstaking, excruciating detail. Take elves for instance, even after a lot of liberties have been taken with that concept everyone still has a baseline assumption on what an elf is, which obviates the need to explain a lot of things to the reader which would otherwise detract from the core purpose of that piece of media. Similarly, younger sisters deferring to their older brothers is just kind of a given, where older sisters (the key part being a sister, not some random hussy) typically have some degree of authority over their brothers in most modern households.
>your argument about "defaults" doesn't even take father-daughter off the table
It does, because I was speaking of the default of romance, more specifically sibling romance. There's additional aspects of romance than simply age and deference to the man, but if I have to explain literally all of these aspects to you then you weren't worth talking to in the first place, either because you're arguing in bad faith or because you're entirely ignorant of the matter. As a thought exercise, imagine a knight storming a castle and slaying an evil dragon to save the princess, what kind of woman would be perfect for that scenario? That is the literary default.

>>532155173
Ashley telling Renee to take her meds when she brings up ____ is extra funny. She knows only and solely because Ashley told her about it as a kid. I guess now she takes the oath seriously, or she's just fucking with her. Probably both.

>>532156341
These rigid rules about how stories ought to be written is anti-art. The purpose of any given thing isn't defined by a pretentious French academic describing what he thinks other people's texts inherently do; the author of the given thing decides the purpose. If somebody wanted to bang his elder sister, writing a story inspired by that is not mandated to be a media literacy thing about actually having sex with one's mother. I can crumble your entire argument my inventing my own subversive elf race and there's nothing anyone can do to tell me they're not actually elves.

>>532157489
>I can crumble your entire argument my inventing my own subversive elf race and there's nothing anyone can do to tell me they're not actually elves
That's the thing, if it's subversive you are still constrained by the parameters of the thing you're subverting. If you were to subvert what it means to be an elf, you would have to demonstrate in what manner they deviate from the default assumption of an elf, which in and of itself means there is a sort of default assumption. Your desire for a featherless chicken to be comparable to man is not enough to make it so. You can write whatever you want, but there's a reason we don't have a lot of stories about the brave knight rescuing the thrice-divorced fat balding trans latinx from a dragon. Templates and tropes exist for a reason, and deviating from these templates should always serve a purpose. Ultimately if somebody is writing something they can, and in fact *should* write about the things they like and which interest them, otherwise they're just making a product. It just so happens that younger sisters are overwhelmingly preferred because of this.

>>532158280
>you are still constrained by the parameters of the thing you're subverting
One can also simply not give a shit. Textual rules only exist when the author and the audience mutually agree to enforce them, and the ontology of that which already exists is not automatically relevant to every author's imagination.

I honestly don't care about that stuff, isn't there supposed to be demons in this or something?

>>532158626
>One can also simply not give a shit
The odds of something turning out poorly because of this increase exponentially with this attitude. Again, if you're subverting something you're constrained by what that thing is, otherwise it's not subversion and it bears no relation to that thing. To my point: most coffin fanfics.

Did you not play the game or did you need chapter 3 to spell it out that Renee was horrible? Cause I thought it was really obvious Miss Graves was terrible in chapter 2, considering she left her children to die and wanted to have a steak dinner after the fact.

Aw, fuck it, im going to spam images too.

Bunnie is a hussy.

Nemlei is probably embarrassed of JiaC

>>532163602
Bunnie also end up eloping with Galiathos in the calm ending. Speaking of him, which toy is Galiathos? He and his men are part of the same chess set that the king is part of? (Chess pieces: King, Knights, etc)

>>532164029
Nemlei is probably embarrassed of Coffin as well.

Nemlei is incapable of embarrassment.

>>532164325
JiaC is one of Nemlei's best along with Better Half and Coffin. She have to live with that.

>aunt overheard my sister asking me to go watch a movie with her and asked if she met any cute boys at her new job

No way faggot

>>532164073
>He and his men are part of the same chess set that the king is part of? (Chess pieces: King, Knights, etc)

I somehow never put together that The King was a chess piece. The crown is even a chess piece. It makes sense that Galiathos is a knight and his squad are probably pawns. He even says his family has always protected The King.

Would that mean at some point The King co-ruled with his sister, The Queen?

JiaC sucks

>>532143486
I'm leaning towards no honestly, I can't see Nemlei wanting to keep working on this game for another 2-3 years.

>>532128278 (OP)
For a second the highlights in Andrew's hair made me think Ashley was pissing on him in the OP pic.

>>532169273
Remember that the entire game is already writen, and everything that the team is doing now is just putting the paper on a finished craft. Is not like it's being extended or altered as they go. Burial having two episodes depends in how well the engine can handle it.

>>532164575
JiaC was the first I played after Coffin and I immediately concluded it's the most dogshit game Nemlei ever made. Even AIWABB was better and it wasn't even as long as the lamely written femboy fujo romance that is JiaC.

>>532173205
Yes even after I played them all I thought it was the worst. I would still put Divilethion as the second worst, but at least its writing and delivery was good to some extent and it seemed like the only problem was that it was rushed by Wagemlei of the time, which is understandable. Candy Scabs is a short little story and doesn't take itself that seriously in the first place, it's a cute Halloween VN. And before anyone says it, no, I don't dislike JiaC because I hate gayslop. I liked Better Half a lot. I still think No Good Racemixxer is better but it was intriguing for me despite not being a fan of fujo work.

>>532181446
Cope about what nigga? That I didn't like it? You can go enjoy it but I think it's dogshit, and that's fine and normal because it's one of her first.

>>532191240
I played Better Half recently, and the menu theme "Steady Enjoyment" get a nostalgic feeling out of me every time. What a nice little tale.

>>532190191
She needs to do it more to fully develop her demon powers as a tar soul. Ashley was being completely literal when she said eating people makes her feel more powerful. The fact that it isn't allowed to happen in Shots and Such (Andrew puts his foot down and says no) is noteworthy.

>>532193865
??? would never stoop so low as to do something as menial as putting a straw in Ashley's drink. And it's not associated with many grasping hands like demon Ashley is.

>>532193865
>>532194396
I think that's a red herring and Ashley's "power" is more indicative of her level of self loathing and other mental problems stemming from such. And Andrew stopping her from eating more is a sign of him barely controlling her bad habit through disdain, like the end of chapter 2 where he's not impressed.

In a more literal sense it's not that act itself, but the mindset she has while doing it.

>>532195760
>Mental illness is indicative of power
Seriously guys, what did Nemlei mean by this?

Ashley not Nina died in the crate and it's all just a dream

>>532197153
She's a millennial.

>>532191240
There's something about Better Half that's just its own. Like, the rest of Nemlei games either take place on some magical Wonderland, or in a "Nightmare Before Christmas" kind of world. Meanwhile, BH is this low bar metropolis, with renegade wizardry, accompanied with hip hop beats and a ice gray cool colors city lights. This entire urbanistic style ambientation around an story about depression made the experience feels so cozy and sweet in contrast.

>>532195760
I interpret her cannibalising people is supposed to be symbolic to her throwing her humanity away, of which is part of what needs to be done in order to become a demon entity.

And in the story the trinket has become this vicious cycle of demanding more sacrfices for its power that it becomes arguably better to just throw it away.

It's just one of those days

You come home and see your 10/10 sister like pic related. What you doin?

>>532200215
she already threw away any semblance of humanity away when she was a kid
she was totally chill with murdering Nina and even reiterates that she's glad she did it as an adult
Her killing and eating the people who have wronged her since her birth is more human than her doubling down on the most vile thing she's done
Also, the first time she engaged in cannibalism it was entirely justified and was the sole reason she even survived

if I had a 10/10 sister then I'd have a fundamentally different life path so to determine what I would do would require understanding the kind of person I'd be in that scenario and that'd be way too detached from my current self to ever reasonably come to a sufficient determination on the matter

Demons are alright.

>>532201752
Entities are cooler.

>>532201402
Say hi and go upstairs to my room. The nicer my sister is with me, the more I realize that I don't know how to actually be a brother. It was easier when she hated me

Why Nemlei likes UP so much?

>>532201402
Hahah you guys are weirdos

>>532201429
Sure but the story does look to portray the continuation of using the trinket as this vicious cycle. They get into the mess in chapter 3 of having to retreat to the entity's dimension because they wanted to recharge it, and they have to recharge it because they used it. And in Shots and Such, Andrew questions the point of murdering their parents and sees it as just pointlessly appeasing Ashley and her never ending disatisfaction and doubt in him. And the little hints like Andrew burning the trinket and Ashley being a demon in a vision seem to hint the trinket maybe the problem.

Sure they were justified to eat the cultist corpse in the apartment, but eating their parents' corpses seems like just petty revenge. And she just tries to cook the campers corpses despite Andrew telling her that it's not a good idea.

Maybe throwing her humanity isn't the right term I'm looking for. Maybe it's supposed to represent gluttony. Of where at first she was starving and understandably ate from a corpse, but then she overindulges and eats the corpse of her parents for questionable reasons. And gluttony and overindulging would parallel with what the other aspects of her character does like how she insists to keep using the trinket for its powers and how she was starved for love and attention as a kid but tries to overindulge and exhaust Andrew as her only source of it.

Idk I'm just throwing shit that comes to my mind.

>>532199679
This right here is why Nemlei is such a fucking hack for debunking the Nemleiverse. Better Half is so much cooler if one imagines that its unsophisticated witchcraft underground came as a result of Andrew and Ashley's antics in the 2000's. Incidents like swathes of police simultaneously entering a comatose state would obviously be censored by the press, but smart cookies would still hear about it through the grapevine and do their research. From street murmurs and the underworld would a trinket science scene eventually emerge, with people like Lua being one of many hoping to profit off the highly illegal occult.

>>532203698
I agree with your points but I definitely think you were wrong on the humanity part. I appreciate the clarification.

Anyone else here dgaf about the incest but just find andrew and ashley cute together?

>>532235356
Incest won't be optional ever once I seize power.

>>532235356
We HAVE to downplay the incest otherwise Visa & Mastercard are gonna send their death squad after Nemlei and her brotherhusband.

>>532235638
Why did you do this to her :(

>>532235356
Did you play Burial? "Never." is a 50-50 option for Ashley when she isn't afraid that Andrew will hurt her and she doesn't feel like she has to put out. It's such a definitive answer to his question, if she would've answered 'Uh, I don't think so...' it would've let the door open for incest in the friendship route but no. She made it definitive.

>>532235693
Ashley doesn't care for much about seggs, yes. However still that doesn't stop Andrew from being, well, Andrew.
I didn't mean they will have seggs in every route, but incestuous tension is still an inseparable part that comprises their strange dynamic whichever route they follow

>>532236196
Once Andrew discovers masturbation he'll get over it, alternatively he might cope if Ashley becomes secure enough to not feel threatened or even comment on him hooking up with random floozies.

>>532233554
Says who?

>>532235693
ALL roads lead to incest
Someone post the illusion of choice image

>>532239790
Women can't rape men.

>>532240842
Andrew may act like a woman but he is still a man

>>532241132
What? It's true.

>>532240842
what is the definition of rape

>>532241692
Being unwilling and overpowered, something a woman can never do to a man. Even if he says he doesn't want it if he gets hard he wants it.

>>532241692
Something about institutional power dynamics

>>532241801
An inebriated man who is additionally pumped with viagra would be weak enough that a woman could overpower him, and hard regardless of whether he wants it.

>>532241959
Why the viagra? He'd get hard anyway unless he has ED.

>>532227329
>>532225902

>>532242069
So you're saying it's impossible for a man to refuse sex?

>>532242475
From a woman? Yes. Although I've seen soft bottoms in gay porn, they were probably just tying to be useful by pleasing their man. Bitch brain behavior.

In a world with only Andrew and Ashley there is always sex.
Word of god:

>>532276442
So? It's not happening if Andrew doesn't make a move first and he's less likely than ever to do it in the never route, even SnSdrew as a drunk degenerate bum crawling on the floor had it in him to push Ashley away. He either gets off on denying himself like some sort of masochist or it's indeed pathological like he said in Decaying Along.

>>532276442
SnS proves that Ashley craves cock, and everything she has to do is just go outside and fuck some cultist in the demon sex rave and everything will be alright

Ashley (not Leyley) will love her inbred kids.

>>532278481
It's pathological. Absolutely insane how A&A are the sole Nemlian protagonists where most of their dismays are caused by their own stupidity and mentally ill behavior.

This was quite clearly shown in the elope flashback, her childish view of sex meant she was only interested in it if she could be Andrew's one and only (and vice-versa).
Since he already had sex with Julia, she's completely disillusioned with it, to the point where it's only a tool of control for her, which at its extreme led to SnS.

This makes me wonder though, in burial she has far more trust in Andrew, but the sane route is where it seems she has the most trust, since she doesn't even need to put sex on the table to control him, as opposed to the questionable route, where she still has that idea.
I imagine this is where the conflict will be in the questionable route.
Even so, it's hard to imagine Ashley refusing Andrew if it came to it, so it sounds uncharacteristic for her to say "never", specially after seeing the dream, maybe that's what the sane route will explore?
She still needs to grow up either way, enjoying sex isn't the taboo she thinks it is, and she did seem to be enjoying it in the dream.

>>532281354
>>532292470
Why do you post these thumbnails every thread?

>>532291543
"Never" is the answer Andrew wants her to give. Her saying that doesn't mean he stops wanting it, or that she doesn't want it. We also know Andrew (correctly or not) thinks she's trying to manipulate him when she comes on to him, be it as a teenager, in Questionable Burial (caging the Green rabbit,) or in Decay. It's only in Cliffhanger where she's honest with him and wins some trust that he's willing to be romantic with her. Sane Burial could be the same.

>>532274070
It depends. We'll watch tv together or just lay on the couch on our phones, or rather she's on her phone and I just sort of relax and enjoy her company. I think we play vidya more often than marathoning shows now since television sucks.

>>532294219
Naruhodo. I'm only asking because I'm alone with my sister for a few days and idk if hanging out together like Andrew and Ashley does is a normal thing or if it'd be weird for me to ask

>>532286131
Ashley cuts him

>>532294774
Follow the golden rule: don't think too hard about shit. Most interactions that are weird is because the person approaches it with the mentality of a robot following a script. Ironically, the only way to stop being perceived as weird (negative) is to stop caring about what is and is not weird for the most part. Obviously a bit of moderation is key, don't go to the grocery store in a fursuit or some shit like that, but if you're worried about if somebody will think you're weird for asking to hang out with them then you're overthinking shit.

>>532292704
Fair enough, though it has to be said, her complex with sex still is very latent in every scenario so far.
As hinted in SnS, Andrew solving his own issues with LU's therapy session is the first step to solving Ashley's, so Chapter 4A should be about that.

>as a teenager
That one seemed to me as the only time she was being genuine and not manipulative with him.

That's fixable. You probably shouldn't try to your sister though.

>>532317124
Brothers not cuddling their cute sisters is directly contributing to the collective hand-wringing of countless coin aerodynamics enthusiasts.

>>532318797
On the contrary, it is people destroying their healthy family bonds by unnatural imposition of eros upon them that pleases the metal disk smoothing enthusiast.

>>532319590
How can eros destroy family bonds when it is necessary to create families?

>>532319590

Cuddling doesn't have to be sexual, and child-rape-blackmail-ring enjoyers want people so paralyzed by fear of appearing such that they don't form such close relationships.

>>532319986
This >>532317124 was the post you disagreed with.

>>532321140
>Blood relations don't have the same type of relationship as family by marriage
That's just dodging the question. Why does romantic and/or erotic love inherently ruin a familial relationship when it's foundational for almost all other relationships?

>>532319590
There is zero reason not to fuck your family. If you already believe that your bond is eternal then there should be nothing stopping you or them.

>>532321620
You are like a man asking why your horse can't run on gasoline like your car does. That's not what it's for. I'm sure you wouldn't disagree that a sexual dimension to a parent-child relationship is inappropriate even in adulthood, why is that a problem but between siblings it's fine?

>>532321620
People nowadays are scared shitless of true intimacy and think that sex is this forbidden act of rebellion and that sexuality is confined to fucking instead of the beauty of expression that can nourish the human experience when embraced. The reason why Nemlei stories are so nice is because in despite of whatever bizarre context these stories happen, the characters come together from a place of love. If anyone want to have meaningful bonds to other people of close kin, it's important to stop being afraid about the beauty of nature.

>>532323203
>That's not what it's for
Asserting absurdities without justifying them might work on /pol/, but /calg/ is an intellectual thread. You cannot justify your claim beyond "i read it somewhere and assumed it was true"

>>532323203
you can arbitrarily designate what is or isn't right but that doesn't change reality
a horse can't run on gasoline but any relationship can endure and even benefit from sex
there's nothing wrong with adding sex to a parent-child relationship either

>>532323402
You haven't justified your claim that it's fine either, you just assume for no clear reason that your position is the default I have to disprove when if anything it's the opposite.

>>532325508
Right here >>532319590, you claim that eros destroys healthy family bonds.
But whatever, man, I know you can't actually back this up with reason. If you could, you would've rather than trying to desperately dodge the question or assign responsibility to others. You probably read online that outbreeding is based and tradpilled while incest was Jewish and you've been drinking that Kool-Aid ever since.

>>532331302
This. But at this point, is not about what the common sense wants, but about the fact that Ashley is everything Andrew wants, even against his better judgement. Also, Ashley is not that bad, she serves and does the best for what she knows and for what she have left, and Andrew would gladly take that and even less just to have her.

>>532344238
Fuck off ???, I'm not buying.

>>532346736
He's right. My sister used to hate me, and I considered that a tragedy. Now she doesn't hate me and I miss when she used to.

>>532346934
Don't worry, your brain just hasn't caught up to the fact sisters are cute yet.

>>532347780
It's not that I'm annoyed or anything, it's just that I don't know how to interact with her anymore. My sister used to hate me, genuinely hate me. She said as much and it wasn't a tsundere thing, she really didn't like me. Well, a few days ago my parents left us waiting in a coffee shop and my sister bought some girly drink full of sugar. Naturally, as her brother, I asked for a sip; and she, as my little sister, said no. So, I told her that if I could have just one sip, I wouldn't talk to her for the rest of the day. I said that genuinely expecting she'd pounce on the offer. Instead, she said "why do you think I'd want that?"
It's a small thing, but that's basically been how we interact these days. Yesterday, I was watching a movie and she came and sat next to me even though there were many other seats available. I just don't get it. I don't know how to interact with her anymore. It's not necessarily that I want her to hate me, it's just that I know what to do when she does. It's familiar
Sorry, this is really rambley. The truth is, I've been wanting to talk about it for a while, but always felt bad about bringing it up. It's just that I've spent so long in these threads trying to get her to like me, and I did it just because it was a Coffin thing, if that make sense. Now, she doesn't hate me; and I realize that the only thing worse that not getting what I want is getting it.

>>532348243
It was a bit memey but I stand by what I said. You also make it sound like she suddenly started being a lot nicer to you which means she's making an effort to improve your relationship just like you did. It's perfectly understandable to feel a bit off balance but you'll get used to the idea of being friends with your sister soon if you let yourself.

I wouldn't expect an apology though, she is still a woman after all.

>>532332118
>Ashley is not that bad
Did you play the game? She's only not that bad if you're willing to isolate yourself and become antisocial for her.

>>532348243
New things are always uncomfortable. That's a rule of life. Try talking to her, normally and organically when the circumstances allow. It can be about anything, really. Acclimatise with baby steps. She's not just your sister, she's your friend. And friends take time to find their stride together. If you're struggling to get used to having her around, then tell her that and be honest that there are times you want to push her away because it's easier than getting used to being on good terms with her. If you want her to help you overcome that, then ask her to. Even if over the phone, you have to communicate.

>>532351353
You're very much correct. People would rather wallow in familiar misery than gamble on pursuing better, I would argue probably due to some subconscious fear it will make things worse for them. People will sit and grow mold in conditions they can tolerate, because they're acclimated to that level of shittiness. One must strive to become more delphic, to love cute sisters as easily as one breathes.

>>532348243
>"why do you think I'd want that?"
All this means is that you talking to her isn't a big enough problem to where she has to bribe you to shut up, that doesn't mean she likes you though.

>>532309084
I don't why but this made me kind of realize something: perhaps concerningly as a straight male, I relate to Ashley the most out of anyone in this game. I at one point in my youth was universally despised by my peers for being loud, weird, and annoying. And felt as if literally everyone in my life had failed me without actually giving me a chance. It also took my awhile to realize my parents were the crux of the problem. Unlike her, I didn't really take solace in another family member since none of them were close to my grade level and didn't go to the same schools. All things considered, I mellowed out eventually and turned into a functioning (albeit broken) member of society.

>>532354406

It's a great quote, it's from Oscar Wilde. It's about how hard people are to please and how self-contradictory we can be. Often, people don't really know what they want. They may have a vague fuzzy idea, but the real thing rarely matches up to the ideal. Life is all about making compromises, nobody ever gets exactly what they thought they would. So, not getting what you want is a tragedy because you're being denied, but it's nice because you have that goal and that idea of what you want. However, getting what you want is also a tragedy because it's so often disappointing.
You're not Andrew enough if you don't get it

Anon, I have unironically been pretending to be Andrew for years, mostly for the enjoyment of /calg/. I've been doing things for her purely because I thought it was "A /calg/ thing to do", if that makes sense. Her actually warming up to me was ostensibly the goal, but I wasn't actually expecting it

>>532371254
You're jealous because you are a failure of a man that wants to be passive in life and coddled by everyone, unfortunately there's no such thing as unconditional love for men and that's not a big deal either because people are very loving. This day and age showing the slightest interest in someone will endear them to you.
>>532371865
>She used to jump at any chance for me to leave her alone.

Basically, yeah. Being a woman seems like it'd be so easy, whereas being a man is doing a bunch of difficult and annoying shit all the time "because you have to, okay". So excuse me if I don't exactly warm to the idea. If I had the option of dressing up cute and looking pretty and having sex all day, I'd take it. Being a man fucking sucks
But this is threatening to become dangerously off-topic, which is why I try not to bring it up. So I'll leave it here

Anon, it's a term coined by a Victorian playwright. What did you expect? Oscar Wilde is actually one of the most famous Gothic writers of all time, which makes his work quintessentially Coffin

>>532373384
>Anon, it's a term coined by a Victorian playwright. What did you expect?
Nothing at all, it just fucking sucks. Nemleian tales are all about characters fulfilling ideals, even in the mist of tragedies and sadness. It doesn't fit at all because everything they desire comes from pure love, and what you do in love is everlasting. That doomer cope can be true for some, but it's such a bottom of the barrel level of truth that it may be as well be a lie at this point.

>>532373963
>Nemleian tales are all about characters fulfilling ideals, even in the mist of tragedies and sadness
Nonsense, SnS is the perfect embodiment of what Wilde was talking about. All Andrew has ever wanted was to get over his Nina guilt, escape prosecution, and have Ashley all to himself. For 22 years he suffered the tragedy of not getting it. Then, at the end, his greatest tragedy suffered was getting it. He has everything he wants, but none of it is right. He escapes his guilt (of all things) by becoming a drunk, he escapes the law by living in a slum, and has the wrong Ashley.
It's Wildean, Kafkaesque, Shakespearean cinema, etc.

>>532372891
If you were a woman, then you would complain about your shortcomings and lacks as a girl then. All these notions comes from your own conclusion inside of insufficiency and lack of resolve, and it's blinding you from seeing the truth and embracing your opportunities to grow. Get a grip.

>>532374857
>Nonsense, SnS is the perfect embodiment of what Wilde was talking about.
I don't see the contradiction between what i stated and this assessment, because that ending is not fulfillment at all. If you feel miserable, and KNOW that this is not your ideal, then where is the "nonsense"? Andrew hurt Ashley, didn't make love properly, throw his life away, put up with existing instead of living, none of them grew, none of them accepted who they were; in shorter words, it was not ideal. That's like showing me the "Kings End" or "Full Timer" JiaC endings and telling me "See? See? I told you, missery is A FACT". He has everything he wants but none of it is right? Then he doesn't have it, because that's not it. Is as simple as that, but alas, we see what we want to see, until we have enough and decide to see the truth, and go for something greater.

>>532375471
You said " It doesn't fit at all because everything they desire comes from pure love", but it does fit perfectly. I'm not sure how else to lay it out other than what I showed. SnS is like an exercise in what Wilde was talking about. And I never said "misery is a fact", I'm sure some endings will be less miserable than others. But it's true that the only ending we have so far is a miserable one.
>He has everything he wants but none of it is right? Then he doesn't have it, because that's not it.
That's... the POINT. That's what Wilde was talking about! People work so hard to get what they want, but when they get it they realize they don't actually want it. What they wanted in their minds and what they worked so hard to get end up being different things, but they only realize that after having it.

Don't Andrew and Leyley kind of have different ideals of each other? From Andrew's perspective he desires Ashley and hates Leyley. He wants an Ashley that sees him as an equal and doesn't betray his trust. And if we're to assume Ashley's proposal to elope with him in the flashback represents her ideal with Andrew, it kind of aligns with his and doesn't really contradict.

However we do know that a sticking point of the game is how the protagonists adopt alternative personas that represent the uglier flaws of them. It's literally the title of the game. Of how Leyley is constantly testing her brother and will never be satistified, or how she only wants Andy.

So how would this interact with how Wilde sees tragedy.

>>532376289
>That's... the POINT. That's what Wilde was talking about! People work so hard to get what they want, but when they get it they realize they don't actually want it.

The thing is that the quote you posted implies a "Against the wall and the sword" situation where having unfulfilled ideals is a reason for sadness, but that fulfillment is also intrinsically tragic?. This is why i think this quote in particular (I never read Wilde) is a cope, from the point of view of someone that never ever tried achievement for himself, and as i said:
>People see what they want to see.
The way i see it, is this: When you fulfill what you want, and accomplish what you set out to do, you enjoy yourself on that spot until you're ready for more, and move to the next. Life becomes an endless adventure! Excitement, things to learn, to discover, opportunities to grow. You see a vast range of things in this beautiful world, and what it seemed like an overwhelming burden, is actually an atlas of dreams, where you unite dream and day. This is why i mean that people that don't even set forth towards the new eden, thinking that the earth is flat (That your dreams are destined to bring you sorrow) say platitudes like this to shelter themselves from the endless possibilities. At the end of the day, it all comes down to choice, and if that is your conclusion, well... That's yours, have it.
>Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained. He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence. (William Blake)

>>532376834
Andy and Leyley are their regressive sides, their pathologies that undermine and endanger their most important bonds, the whole thing is these ideals are extremely harmful, but neither they don't know how to overcome them.
Ashley is making more progress in Cliffhanger, but Nemlei hasn't really shown us an answer for Andrew yet(which I assume is because Decay is Andrew centric, I imagine Burial will be the opposite, where it's Andrew making side-gress, and whether it comes out as good or bad will be up to Ashley's choices who's spining her wheels).

>>532376834
>So how would this interact with how Wilde sees tragedy.
It'd reinforce how avoiding tragedy is impossible. Andrew and Ashley both suffer by not getting what they want, but both cannot get what they want at the same time. Each wants the other's happiness, but each siblings idea of how the other must act for their personal happiness conflicts with the other siblings idea of how they should act for their own happiness, if that makes sense.
>>532377106
>When you fulfill what you want, and accomplish what you set out to do, you enjoy yourself on that spot until you're ready for more, and move to the next. Life becomes an endless adventure!
Wilde would probably say that you never truly accomplish what you set out to do. However, you also just have a happier disposition that him. Wilde was a playwright, a Victorian, and Irish. He's like Schopenhauer. Pessimism is a theme of gothic literature (and being British)

>>532376834
>Don't Andrew and Leyley kind of have different ideals of each other?
If they were honest about themselves, they would realize that they could only move forward is they accept who they are instead of circumventing around it, and being blinded by the past. After giving some thought, Decay and Burial reveal that most of their dismay is self affliction: Either Andrew refusing to move on (doubting), or Ashley refusing to move on (not accepting the coming of age), causing all sort of trouble for their own idiocity. Probably later on, on Cliffhanger, Andrew will have the final word, and we may see him with the same carefree disposition that we see in Burial, but this time, laid in his own resolve, maturing and moving on. Overall, i think their ideals get along nicely; is their own lack of conviction that is holding them back, because their inner strains are mutually exclusive.

>>532373963
NTA, but SnS and Splat! embody that Wilde quote very well. To never come to love one another due to (inter)personal failings is tragic, but coming to love one another as in the aforementioned endings and overall story branch is just as, if not more tragic because while they get what they want, it comes at a price. Splat! is poetic in that they achieve this only by total capitulation of themselves as individuals to become one in soul and action, figuratively and literally, expressed and driven exlcusively by hurtling out the window with total, unquestioning trust and compassion in and for one another. The anon above put it better than I could and I don't want to spend ten more minutes typing.
>>532377106
It is not that fulfilment is intrinsically tragic, it's that fulfilment gives way to more desires, or comes with a sacrifice such as, but not limited to fundamental personal change, with which, your goals and desires also will (and in this case would scuttle the other protagonist's own desire, as the Ashley whom Andrew fell for and craves would literally no longer exist, and vice versa). The tragedy in that is self-evident. See your own sentence about enjoyment of the moment and constant adventure, you're almost there, but I fear your demonstrable ESLness (and dare I say, wogness) is hindering your ability to properly engage with the Wilde quote and comprehend what the other anon is presenting.

I think it mostly comes down to philosophical differences between us, as well as the truth beyond conventional knowledge. I threat life as a dream, not as a nightmare, and as the other anon pointed out, Wilde was a Gothic author, and Gothic fiction is founded in the sense of hopelessness, personal darkness, and fears embodied in all kind of supernatural beings that represents themes as such. Lack, limitation, obstruction, and bondage, your identity sense is laid on your shadows, and makes you come across all kind of conclusions about life that confirms exactly those aspects, but darkness is nothing on its own, it's only the absence of light, is not the complete truth. See how we appreciate the same story, but we come to different conclusions about it. Something partial is not the full essence of it, and if there is something missing, where's the full picture? This is how i feel about those endings, and i feel reassured when Nemlei remarks that there is something that could be better at that point, but that such route is not quite there yet, which mean the ideal is not realized just yet. Is a consistent theme across Nemlei works to reach a dream, and the only thing that the characters needed to leave behind is the false notion that you need a world affirming you, when all that you need to do is to decide, because there is not world separated from your own mind.

>I treat life as a dream, not as a nightmare

>>532380445
There also worth mentioning that the core aspect of the original quote is this part right here:
>because while they get what they want, it comes at a price.
This is an illusory conflict, because as i laid out, if there is something missing, you're did not get it! This is not seeing the full picture: Would you see just one line in your checkbook to conclude your finances? Also there is no reason why coming across that point in time should be a reason of discouragement. There was an anon who suggested that even after S&S, eventually the failed marriage stage play will bore them out, and would eventually do better off screen, even if they never grew, and never matured, they can salvage what they can, but anons were already pre-disposed to "the worst that could happen, it happens". Take your worst nightmare and multiply it tenfold, now take your greatest dream and do it as well, they are part of the same substance of reality. Trust the plan, there is not a single Nemlei game that doesn't give the protagonist what they wanted in full, an ideal best of their own in some form or another, where the things they let go were all along the very same things that were holding them back, and nothing of value was lost, you only do what you love.

>>532382998
NTA but the saying predates Wilde, he just popularized it
https://quoteinvestigator.com/2019/08/11/two-tragedies/
> I congratulate you, my dear fellow. In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. The last is much the worst, the last is a real tragedy! . . .
However, what's survived the test of time is just the two sentences

>>532379974
Decay actually shows Ashley doesn't really have problems with growing up, it's just that it has to make sense for her, she's fine dropping the childish adventures in favor of marriage if she understands it's what Andrew wants, she only clings onto it because she's working under flase belief he was happy back then.
I think Ashley's problem comes down to her inability to show vulnerability.
She's been conditioned to adopt the Leyley persona, the foolhardy version of herself with no visible cracks in the armor that anyone could take advantage of, and she becomes worse the more she's hurt.
This makes her emotionally unavailable in the ways that Andrew needs from her, she can't acknolwedge her faults and misdeeds in how they hurt him, even though the guilt gnaws at her.
She hates herself for it but she can't open up, at least not so far.
For Andrew, it's his lack of faith in Ashley from her betrayals that lead to him being unable to trust her, and he feels like opening up to her again is just letting her tear apart more of him in the proccess, as she already has.

>>532383543
Partial truths, such a pessimism vindication of life in the absence of the full picture, is something part of any point across time and space, and in every culture that existed, exist and will exist, no matter the time or the place. Those ideas are laid out by individuals, and if convenient, adopted by the collective, and its mostly motivated by feelings, but our feelings are not facts, because the truth is that which does not change, and you are in a world that is in constant change. There's all sort of possibilities and experiences that in one way or the other, will only confirm what you already know and decided regarding life (Half full, half empty vase of water). But the best part of the truth, is that you don't have to believe in anything, you can just know the facts, know that (You) are the single common factor of every experience and every idea, and that being aware of it, having faint notions and ideas, even the act of sympathy, requires your imagination, and then accepting what you imagine as a fact, and so what you say your world is, that it becomes. This knowledge have an organizing power in your life so wonderful, that you can't help it and see love in everything, and suddenly, you realize everything that's possible. You don't even have to do anything, just be who you are.

>>532384214
You're right, those are the times she's nostalgic about and are also special to her because she thinks Andrew felt the same. Her latest happy memory was at Renee's new house so it's not like she hated the present.

>>532382079
>I threat life as a dream, not as a nightmare
It's not about how you treat life, it's about how life is treated and presented within the game itself. There will likely be an ending (or multiple) where the outlook is positive, but it will not do such a 180 as you suggest with your above posts, nor is there any indication of a positive change in overture throughout the game as stands.
>Something partial is not the full essence of it
Then for Andrew and Ashley, this will be impossible. For either of them to reach total fulfilment in this sense, as other anon has again pointed out and as presented throughout the game until this point, it will be simultaneously impossible for the other to do so. Their ideal outcomes totally contradict one another and are built upon falsehoods, facades, and lies. To compromise is it introduce tragedy, as they may get what they want (each other), but not in the form they initially envisioned (as they must fundamentally change to do so). Your logic is circular, you have given no supporting evidence aside from games removed entirely from Coffin. Please invest in better critical thinking skills, duolingo (free!) and a dictionary, my dearest ESL-kun. Your claims of cope have turned into your own.
>when all that you need to do is to decide
That is not true fulfilment in the sense that you have been speaking of, and again, fits what Wilde wrote to the letter.
>>532382998
>you're did not get it!
Then how does one achieve that without fundamentally changing either themselves or their objective? They cannot, because again, their objectives totally contradict one another. They can, and will change, the cliffhanger, the Andy/Andrew and Burial/Decay splits each demonstrate this process to varying degrees. As above, they may indeed find happiness and fulfilment in the future, but it will not and can not be as envisaged, and will require them to change, for better or for worse. See you next thread.

>>532385854
>Please invest in better critical thinking skills
I prefer to leave you at this. Feel free to think about it or not, it's just the same, and it's not my work to sell you my worldview, i'm alright with being a "fool", maybe there's is fulfillment for others in being a fatalistic intellectual and seeing in shades of grey, but its not for me.

>>532386549
>my worldview
Then don't try to impress your personal worldview upon a game that has already very clearly violated it. Personally I don't think that true fulfilment is impossible, but in regards to Coffin (which is not real life), the core story beats, our antiheroes' behaviour, their decisions (at points of divergence), current endings, and their changes to these points, directly contradict the true fulfilment as you postulate to be infinitely possible. My personal perspective on life, happiness, and wants are not the same as those artists present in their works.

I'm a guy but Ashley is one of the few female characters who is literally me (the others being Samus Aran and Iwakura Lain).

what he wants is marriage with Ashley but instead he gets marriage with Leyley
he didn't get what he wanted objectively and that's why he hates his life

>That's... the POINT. That's what Wilde was talking about! People work so hard to get what they want, but when they get it they realize they don't actually want it. What they wanted in their minds and what they worked so hard to get end up being different things, but they only realize that after having it.

Andrew didn't work to marry Leyley. He settled for marriage with Leyley after he came to believe that it was his only option.
Throughout the whole of the shoot route Andrew is coming to terms with his understanding that he will never get what he wants. He either rejects this by killing himself or embraces it and decides to enjoy what shit life he does have.
Andrew didn't work hard to marry Leyley before realizing that he wanted Ashley. There was no revelation after their marriage where he realized that this isn't what he wanted. The quote is completely inapplicable because his situation fundamentally lacks that realization.

You need a certain type of female brain to be literally Ashley.

Imagine having THESE older sisters.
