Reincarnation Au

Even if Dead plate wasn’t queerbaiting, it was DEFINITELY shipbaiting. The dialogue option about whether Rody is jealous of Vince’s possible gf, the hair drying scene, the way he stops correcting Rody about not calling him Vince… u guys r tumblr girlies, you knew damn well what you were doing LMAO. There’s nothing wrong w that lol - it makes for a fun dynamic - but don’t claim that queerbaiting never came into it pffft

My co-developer and composer who worked on the game are both men, calling us "tumblr girlies" is a bit condescending and disrespectful.

To queerbait or shipbait, it means we were taking advantage of possible queer characters and relationships as a means to appeal to queer audiences while maintaining ambiguity about the characters' sexualities. We don't believe the game was baiting anyone since again not only the sexualities of the characters aren't ambiguous as it was fully stated they were written as queer the moment they were designed way before the game was even developed, we've expressed multiple times that while the game does have themes of queerness and cannibalism the main plot and intention behind the source game was always intended to heavily focus on exploring the horror that comes from toxic and unhealthy obsessions and mindsets and how far one is willing to go for them (Rody's self-sacrificial and desperate love for Manon, Vince's selfish obsession for perfection, Rody and taste, etc). The game is about a waiter seeking out and realizing what happened to his ex-girlfriend, that's always been the main plot, Dead Plate is a game in the thriller/horror genre and there was not a single mention of the game having any possible romance in it nor the queer identities and interactions of the characters were used to promote the game in any of the official game pages or promotional material to draw in more audiences, so hearing that you're watering the game down just as some kind of shallow bait is a bit disheartening.

Sometimes characters just happen to be queer, and not all media with queer characters are strictly about romance. Their relationship is still up for audience interpretation and people can take them as whatever they like if they want to enjoy them like that as long as they aren't hurting anyone but we never meant to intentionally bait anyone into trying out the game using their queerness, and that as queer writers ourselves we've expressed time and time again how we wished people to check out the game for the overall narrative and message it has rather than for people to only focus and view the game as shipping material since we believe the game offers a lot more than that.

not literally, this IS the plot of sfh

its so funny to me that atsushis pic was in the newspaper like hes kinda locally famous

i mean im sure with teh shit yokohama sees tehy move on from one event to the other real quick, but its funny to imagine atsushi as some type of local celeb like he gets recognized on the street and shit

becuz akutagawa's face is plastered on local police stations all the time

and sskk r besties; like i know wan and anthology arent canon but i feel like them running into each other all the time pretty much is like akutagawas always there

anywho

so its so funny to imagine ppl being like 'whale hero guy hanging out with a MAFIOSO??'

and atsushi is like 'uhh thats not akutagawa the rabid dog of the mafia thats akutagawa the not-rabid-dog-of-the-mafia'

citizen: ...

atsushi: also we're not hanging out; i hate him, he hates me; id die for him, he'd die for me; sometimes we accidentally meet up and go shopping or take a walk and stuff like that. but we're not friends. like i think he's the coolest person ever but he's also a little bitch.

"help me." "let me."

mjjw Warm Bodies au where MJ’s dead heart starts to beat upon first sight of JW. (kills his gf), saves his life, takes him home, follows him when JW flees. //feels so wrong to add dirt on MJ but he’s zombie, needs to be dirty.

KH, MJ’s best friend will get to meet SY, JW’s best friend. Webtoon!JaeHo as JW’s group leader (WTJH is a good person😭), JHwa in a team! prolly MJ’s just a dentist (b4 he turns) in this au. would be funny tho if he becomes a killer after he turns human. other goshiwons r boneys bc i’m bias towards MJ.

this is so mjjw but MJ won’t hold himself back xD.
