I'm gonna say it.
It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.
That is a bonkers assumption to make.
I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.
I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes
the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually
liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space
preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good
no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl
liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that
just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny
some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have
no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems
abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships
y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

I found EVERYTHING!!! (I hope)
Marriage picture: Many people pass by this picture because this is the part, where Misfortune breaks the vase (bless those very few youtubers who went back and looked at it) but if you go back to it, Misfortune will tell you, that her mother only got married because she was expecting her and that she wanted to have an abortion.
Morgo got stuck in a bear trap: Close to the end, Misfortune will start running after Benjamin while Morgo is telling you not to. Most of you probably didn't listen to him because (obviously) but if you do, Morgo will tell you that getting trapped in one of them is: "hurts like hell", that means he once got trapped in one and this is why he knows how much that hurts (according to the tone he said it)
Benjamin's painting: Right before you enter the "magical" cave, you'll meet with Benjamin while he's painting something on the ground. This is also missed by a lot of people because you have to interact with the brush twice to get the secret. The first time you interact with it, Misfortune will only talk about it but if you interact with it again, she will continue the painting, revealing a shield around her so Morgo is not able to get her.
Lil' Cutie: This is actually one of the achievements but people still rarely get it (at least the youtubers). So, if you choose to set the puppy free from the tree, she/he will follow you and will let you to pet her/him. If you pet the puppy 3 or 4 times, Misfortune will name it "Lil' Cutie" and you get the achievement for it.
Leach: If you release the puppy, you can interact with his/her leach and Misfortune will tell you that, when she and her mother went to a museum, her mother had her on a leach because she was unpredictable then Morgo says that he thinks it was because she only ate candy that day. It's a really cute conversation between the two but also very concerning because of the leach.
All over again: If you choose to read Benjamin's diary, at a certain page you'll find the page that says: "Victim don't realize all is again. All is again!" This basically means that Misfortune (as well as the other kids) is stuck in a time loop. We actually see an actual time loop that Morgo makes at the end of the game when he resets the day to the time where they started.
Ultra-war: When you read Benjamin's training papers, you'll find out more about what is Morgo and most importantly, how Morgo came to life. There is a sentence that says: "After the Ultra-war, thousands of beings were discovered as byproducts of the war." THERE WAS A FRICKING WAR BETWEEN THE REALITIES BEFORE LITTLE MISFORTUNE'S TIMELINE!!! Which I will talk about in the theory I'm working on, so keep an eye out on that ;)
Misfortune understands what the animals says: This is something that nobody seemed to be concerned about, the fact that Misfortune randomly started to talk with animals through the journey is pretty weird in itself but the fact that she actually got a response from them and she understood it is pretty surprising. Just because WE were not able to understand what they say doesn't mean that Misfortune don't, like she even understood that Benjamin said that they have to go and she heard whatever mean thing the parrots said to her. Just like our dear friend Fran, right? The only difference is that there we also heard what the animals said, not just her.
Benjamin's bookshelf: It's also a small detail but if you get a good look at Benjamin's bookshelf, you'll find a book called: "Learning how to be gray". If you saw the puppet show in Itward's flying machine from Fran Bow, then you probably know that in one specific sentence Itward says that he is: "The link between darkness and light. He was GRAY". So, we finally got to know a little bit more about Itward, which is really great! (especially to me because I'm planning to make a theory about him) But this also meant to me that I have to throw my Fran Bow OC into the trash, because before Little Misfortune came out I thought that being gray is not something you can accomplish but rather another kind of being who was born when darkness and light came together ... and I am really sad now :(
Morgo's sign: I have seen many people being confused about that iconic sign on Morgo's hand which he shows to us in the final battle. If you remember the first time when Misfortune crosses the road, then you probably know that at the middle of the road she stops and gets transformed into a strange creepy place with Morgo getting closer to her. That very well made scenery is just enough to get everyone's attention away from the sign that appears under Misfortune at the same time. That sign is the same sign that Morgo has on his hand.
That's all I got for now. I'm not entirely sure that this was all of them (heck! I'm not even sure that I have found everything in the game yet, there's just so many things!) but if I remember/find something new, I will let you know :)
This is a site skin for those who wish they could read AO3 under the sea. Enjoy 🐙
