well at least now i can say with absolute certainty that netflix hates two things, and that’s ghosts and gay people
Idc if it’s wishful thinking, I want my show back. So yeah, go stream it, enjoy the gay Agatha Christie show with a romantic subplot.
I know that’s it’s really hard to be happy right now but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t leave the fandom. We have made such an impact in FOUR MONTHS and Netflix will see that they made the wrong decision. This is an awesome fandom and I want us to keep going strong!! We are amazing and I want everyone to know that.
i need to steal charles rowland’s gender like i need air to breathe. not even joking. i need it so bad.
no passenger princesses in my car only survivors who are happy to be alive
"I hope Payneland is made canon in the Sandman."
That's nice. I hope Charles smacks Despair with his (newly mended) cricket bat.
Hello chronically ill TLT fans (I don’t know how to find you but hopefully you find me). It is time to announce your headcanons for what chronic illness(es) each necromancer has. When I get a new diagnosis I just assign it to a necromancer to cope which is a fundamentally emotionally healthy thing to do. Please share your thoughts/totally-not-projections!

Jayden talking about how much he believes in the power of the Dead Boy Detectives fandom;
In addition, I wanted to say thank you here to everyone who continues to work so hard on promoting, streaming, sharing the show and signing the petition! Please do not get discouraged or give up yet.
We really do have a chance in this genuinely if we can keep it up for as long as possible! We are doing so great, the cast and crew honestly believe in us. If you need some motivation today or this week just know they are all rooting for us and continue to hold out hope! They are fighting just like we are 💜
Hello esteemed mutual. If you are reading this, then that means my propaganda is working. But you might still have questions, so I am here to answer them. Well. Actually. My propaganda already worked without the help of Captain America, but I also like writing these posts and SOME OF Y'ALL haven't bought it yet after I posted a lot so here I am after all.
Spiritfarer is a management game by Thunder Lotus Games about death. Yup, death. I have... an interesting history with this game, that you can ask me about later, but I read multiple times that it's a great game to deal with grief and yes, it is. Also, apparently it's been renamed to Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition, but that basically means that the game is complete. After release, there were some major free content updates. Now that the game's been finished, I might replay it as the full package.
You play as Stella, who upon her death, arrives in an afterlife of sorts and takes over from Charon (yes, that Charon) to become the Spiritfarer. In life, Stella was a palliative care nurse in charge of helping increase the quality of life of patients with a serious illness, who stayed with these patients till the end in order to ease their pain. That's why she is fitting for this role. Stella inherits Charon's boat and sails around, picking up spirits of deceased people who haven't really moved on 'to the great beyond' just yet. Stella houses them on her boat, makes them feel comfortable, helps them with unfinished business, and eventually lets them go.
Yup. You need to let them go.
Anyway, have a trailer:
Personally, I think this game excels at the combination between story and gameplay. As in, I am usually fine if a game prioritises one over the other (like Tears of the Kingdom's gameplay is better than its story, and Night in the Woods's story is better than its gameplay), but this game is just right. It's a management sim, so you need to care for these spirits, update your boat for more rooms with activities to do, collect resources, farm, cook etc. Your management influences the mood of your spirits, which in turn impacts the game.
Once you're off your boat, there's some platforming and 2D exploration. There are also special events for certain kinds of items that lead to a special mini-game.
It would've been a cosy and relaxing game if it weren't, you know, about death. I mean, it's still relaxing and chill. It's really nice to play. The impending goodbyes just loom over you.
And aside from satisfying gameplay, the story is just amazing. The amount of characters that Stella meets is great and everyone has their own story. It's a game about death, as I said before, and it shows how death can occur in different ways. Prepare to weep. A big part of this game is about saying goodbye. The game simulates a grieving process. You may foolishly believe that it's just a game, and you control it, and you may hold on to some spirits, but in order to progress, you need to let them go. Oof.
The story is well-done in a way that it surprised me, but looking back on them, all those surprises were predictable. Those kinds of stories are the greatest. It still makes you feel something, but it wasn't a left field either. It's just good shit.
Thank you Wikipedia for listing it: Linux, macOS, Windows, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, iOS and Android. I think the mobile port is done through Netflix Games. I played it on Switch.
There is local co-op. Stella is joined by her cat Daffodil, even in the soloplayer mode. But in multiplayer, the second player controls Daffodil. I have never played it in co-op, and Daffodil cannot do everything that Stella can do. I think he's like a better Cappy. But again, I have no experience with it myself.
It's about death, and as I said, it's about different ways death can occur. Death isn't always natural. In fact, people unfortunately die from illness, unnatural causes, or from self-inflicted harm. And not everyone reaches old age. Also, you delve into the lives of the spirits, and not everyone had a rosy life. Topics like abandonment issues and unhealthy relationships are part of the story.
Nope. That's because the content updates were free. I do have, you know, things to say about content updates in general, but I have more to say about paid DLC so I respect the hell out of Thunder Lotus for not charing extra money for it.
It's heavily implied that Stella is French. Is that close enough?
