Redraw of THAT scene.
My favorite moment in the game for many reasons.
Im always so proud of him for it.
Sorry for being so quiet everyone! Work has me busy and I’ve been on and off sick the past couple weeks, and trying to get outside a bit more before it gets too cold
Not going on hiatus or anything, just know my posting will slow down a bit, plus trying to fix my sleep schedule <_<;
daisuke and anya aren't shown interacting much. I think that's for a reason.
with daisuke being practically the embodiment of hope and innocence and naivety on the ship, it makes sense for anya not to interact with daisuke - or atleast be shown interacting with daisuke, especially from the perspective of jimmy. the one time that i can remember anya speaking of daisuke, is when speaking to curly about daisuke's psych eval and how daisuke says that he's enjoying his time on the ship, with anya then going "should i be worried?". anya, especially after the ship crashes, is always a foot out - always standing on the edge, ready to jump. she keeps the other pain meds in that locker hidden for as long as she can so she can have a way out - a way to control her own fate. she's given up on hoping. at first glance, you may assume the most hopeless character is swansea, with him ending his sobriety and falling back into his addiction, verbally stating that there is no hope for the crew any more - but swansea holds onto daisuke despite it all. he hopes. he dreams. maybe not for himself, but for daisuke and anya. swansea has also been a dreamer, even when he was in the midst of his addiction - he WANTED. but anya is never really hoping. she's just kind of there. and who can blame her? she's stuck in close quarters with her abuser, in a ship that's falling apart, 5 months pregnant with a child she never wanted. who can blame her for not hoping for better. she used to. she did, she had hoped when she went to curly about what jimmy did, but that hope was crushed when curly did nothing. he failed her. so she doesn't hope. she can't stand to - not any more. but for a long time she can't stand to give in either. not until she's pushed into it and locks herself into a room with curly - in the very room curly had dictated as having a lock for 'safety' concerns. and while she does this, daisuke - hope - is trying to get in and help her. banging at the door, desperately trying to get in to anya, but then jimmy takes daisuke away, and hope leaves, and anya kills herself as her hope is gone, once again taken away by jimmy. there's also the fact that daisuke is practically the 'child' of the group. the innocent and naive. and children are commonly seen as the 'hope'. the 'change'. the 'proof of something better to come'. and then you think of anya's pregnancy and how that happened. and how when she looked at daisuke and saw how hopeful and bright and young he was, all she was reminded of was the child inside of her, and then reminded of jimmy. of course she wouldn't wanna be around daisuke as much. it was too close. he was too close.

Can we give Swansea some more love and attention that he deserves, because while he is not completely in control of his emotions and is quick to react, it all came from a good reason that being he cared so much for the crew.
Daisuke, he saw so much potential in almost like a son, for him to be there for Daisuke at every turn, even being the one to put him out of his misery so he didn’t have to suffer anymore, even telling Daisuke to close his eyes so he wouldn’t see what would happen, he cared so much.
And when Anya confided in him about what happened to her, he came CHARGING to put an end to all of it, for Anya, for Daisuke, for EVERYONE.
I feel like we don’t give Swansea enough attention, and we should!
So far my only complaint with the Silent Hill 2 Remake is Maria’s AI, especially in combat scenarios.
I don’t mind escorting a character around, because I love Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 4, and other games that have had escort segments
But in the original Maria wasn’t on top of the player during combat sections, this bad…like Maria, please, few feet back or get with the program and fight with me!
Happy birthday Satoshi Kon ❤️🦋🌹
