Thoughts After Finnishing The Bright Seasions

Just be warned, there are some spoilers about the podcast, so if you haven’t listened to the whole thing, I suggest not reading this post.

Dr Bright: God, do I love this woman! I wish I had her as my therapist! She is so kind and practical to her pacients. I’ve actually began using one of the breathing exercises that was mentioned in on of the episodes, and it works really well for my anxiety. Joan Bright, best therapist 10000000/10

Sam: Boy, can I relate to Sam. Having clinical anxiety and depression is really tough and I struggled a lot with panic attacks this past year. I can’t imagine how it would be like to loose your parents in such a tragic way, but having someone to love and help you heal, even if you’re taking a break from each other, Of very good. Having a suport system is always good. Also the fact that the crossover Ars Paradoxica with The Bright Sessions is cannon blows my fucking mind.

Caleb: I love this boy. I love him. I would do anything for this boy. He is so kind and loving and sweet and, let’s be real here, that’s hard to do when you’re openly gay and in high school, empath or not. When he and Adam finally got together, I was gushing so much with feelings I nearly dunked the rag I was cleaning with into the toilet. Also, taking a flask with herbal tea in it to a party is now one of my main stratigies when I go to college

Adam: once again, I love this boy and would do anything for him. He is so sweet and very relatable. Having depression is very difficult, especially when your partner can’t quite understand your feelings. However, Caleb always makes an attempt to understand and talk with him. I’m so glad that Adam was a much bigger part of this podcast than I expected, because I truly love him and he and Caleb are such a good couple together. I cry every time at “You keep me green.”

Chloe: ACE PRIDE ACE PRICE ACE PRIDE!!!! God, I love how diverse the cast is with their sexualities in this show!!! Chloe is confirmed to have multiple past boyfriends and girlfriends, all while being ace and not having any intrests in having sex with them! It’s so good to see this kind of representation and I wish there was more of it in mainstream media. Chloe has such a big and beautiful and loving heart and I love her so much as a character! I could probably listen to an entire podcast just about her and Frank’s art adventures.

Frank: A smaller role in this podcast, but an important role nonetheless. Without Frank, many things would be left unanswered and the fact that whe know normal people can be inhanced and become atypical is a very interesting topic that I really hope comes up in The AM Archives. He and Chloe’s relationship is so pure and I just think that they are the best best friends ever.

Damien: oh, this man. I have a love/hate relationship with this man. His character is so solid, his morals are grey, leaning into black, but towards the end of the podcast he gets a redemption I never saw coming, to the point where I can truly say that I would love to listen to a podcast about Damien tracking and coping without his ability. He’s a very good antagonist and though he isn’t the main one, is my absolute favorite.

Mark: I love Mark. I love everything about his character, to his enthusiasm about the 21st century, to his relationship with Joan and Sam, to his voicemail. God, I love his voicemail. This man is pure comedy and hurt and I love him so dearly. I hope that his art helps him begin to cope and I hope that he and Sam get back together as some point in The AM Archives, because I love them so much together.

Wadsworth: Ah Yes, the Queen bitch. I hate this woman’s guts for everything that she has done because she is unapologetically evil and confident. She is such a good antagonist and I hope to never hear her appear in The AM Archives, but let’s be real, she probably will at some point. I hate this woman, but god, did her actress do a good job portraying an outstanding villain.

Green: Owen is a morally grey character and, for a really long time throughout the podcast, I hated his guts. I groaned right along with the characters whenever he called. But towards the end of the podcast, I fell in love with this goofy and morally grey guy. I’m so happy that he’s the director of the AM now, because I know he, Sam, and Bright will do amazing things.

Rose: We didn’t get to know Rose very much, but boy am I glad that she is there. Without her, we never would’ve gotten such an amazing 50th episode! The music in that episode was amazing and gorgeous and if I had money, I would be listening to those songs until my ears bleed. I love the blend of specialities we have in this show, with Chloe being ace, Mark being Bi, Damien being Pan (I think? Though it’s never really confirmed what his sexuality is), and Rose being lesbian. I hope we get more of her in The AM Archives.

*Bonus Episode Characters*

Myra: Yes, The mom character. Myra is a very interesting character, What with her past of abuse and her astrial projection. She loves her daughter very much and I know that she is a good mother and a good person.

Melanie: This character is a prime example of what it is like to be apart of the LGBTQ+ community in a dangerous country such as Iran and Seria. She falls in love with a girl from her dig team and I gushed at the clouds parting to reveal the stars. I wish for a day where everyone in the LGBT+ community can be safe and love who they love.

Austin: I would die for this child. I love this child and if anything were to happen to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.* I know how it feels to feel like you’re invisible. I lost a lot of friends this year, so walking around, it felt like I wasn’t even there. But I love Austin so much. He is such a sweet boy with a big heart and has great taste in music. I would love to hear an episode with Dr. Bright rocking out to P!ATD.

Lou: *see Austin* Lou is such a sweet girl and I am so glad that her episode was made. Loosing a friend is hard, especially when you know you can never see them again. I lost a friend this year, not to cancer but due to school drama, and it hurt quite a lot. But I am glad she is using her ability to do something to help the eart and I’m glad she is slowly moving on.

Victor: I’m not quite sure of what I think about Victor. He’s an interesting character with a morally grey past, but I can’t help but smile at the fact that he and his sister are finally reconnecting after so long. Family is very important I’m my culture, though as I learned, family isn’t nessicarily the one you’re born into, but the people you love the most in the world.

Arthur: I can’t not head Zach Valenti’s voice and think of Eiffel from Wolf 359. So I will forever headcannon that they are the same person.

Rory: *see Austin* when I think of Rory, I think of this cute yet badass teen rocking a leather jacket and red streaks in her hair. Her ability is distructive, but I’m so glad that she’s learning to control it properly.

Niko: *see Austin* Non-binary pride, bitches! As someone who’s best friend is trans, I absolutely adore this character! They’re voice and their humor and everything just makes me grin ear to ear. I want more Niko in my life and would gladly listen to anything to do with them.

Vanessa: Chloe’s Mom has got it going on, guys! Man, I love the chemistry that her and Joan have. They are just such good friends and I laughed so much during this episode. I also cried when the death of Chloe’s sister was finally explained. I would gladly listen to a podcast where it’s just Joan and Vanessa shorting the shit together. They are my brOTP and I live for it.

Can you do all the dream daddy asks :D

i think you are personally trying to kill me??????? i’m down for death so let’s do this

1 : Which dad did you romance first? If you have not romanced a dad yet, which one would you want to romance?

craig is my number one through and through, but i am thinking about going for damien!!

4 : Dad that surprised you the most?

i wasn’t expecting to be too into mat just because vernon kept saying that his route was essentially a bunch of niche music references, and i’m not that invested in just hearing a bunch of jokes/puns that i don’t get?? but mat is actually really sweet and Good because the mc doesn’t really understand it either so mat does his best to explain it all!!

5 : Dad that grew on you the most?

can i just say that as soon as the game came out, i stared robert and damien for like two seconds and immediately decided that i wasn’t feeling them. whenever i talked to friends i always just said that i didn’t like how robert seemed to be the Bad Boy™ who was too tough and edgy to talk about his feelings and how damien seemed super snobby to me. Never Have I Been So Wrong. i actually really love them a lot now and they’re definitely among my favorite dads

the rest are under the cut!!

6 : Any dad(s) that is (are) your type?

honestly craig is the embodiment of my type which are people who have a lot of empathy for other people.

7 : Any dad that you aspire to be more like?

i think i really want to adapt more of damien’s whole positive philosophy on life

9 : Favorite series of dates?

craig’s, the answer will always be craig’s

11 : Any date(s) that you completely aced?

all of them except brian’s^^

12 : Any date in the game that you would want to go on?

scaling a giant, dangerous mountain for fun. if this means like an actual date that happens in the game but in real life, then definitely robert’s first date.

14 : Favorite side character?

mary fucking christiansen

15 : Favorite minigame?

the golf one was actually kind of fun because i was determined to beat brian

16 : Least favorite minigame?

that one penguin minigame was so incredibly overwhelming that i was just yelling the entire time and spamming the smack button

18 : Name of your Dad-sona(s)?

lyndon mcnut! i had his first name and appearance planned/drawn out since the game was first announced!! the last name was a panic decision when i realized that i had to pick a last name. by far, the best situational terror that this caused was when amanda looked at my dadsona and said, “team mcnut?” and i had to respond, “team mcnut.” like i was Horrified.

19 : Did you make your Dad-sona a physical reflection of yourself?

oh hell no, i am a walking disaster. he has a similar skin tone to mat and his hair is pulled back into an thick, afro ponytail. he’s got a full beard and round, wider nose. his eyes are hazel with long lashes!! lyndon does fashion designing for younger kids but his style is on point

20 : Did you see any of yourself in the personality of your Dad-sona?

it’s weird because i designed him to be similar to me but also not me? if that makes sense?? whenever i play video games where you get to create your own main character, i always design the character to be exactly like me so that i get to make decisions the way i would. i even would give them the same name as me (i’m mac hi!), and that caused me to feel like i was in the game. but i didn’t want to feel like i was romancing the dads, because it’s not my place to. i wanted to envision a character that would be a good father to amanda, and then i created lyndon! there were definitely some character traits that i specifically gave him so that he was like me, but we’re very different! his entire story is eerily similar to craig’s even though i made him before we actually met craig, but alas. in his college days, he definitely fooled around a lot because he didn’t have his shit together. he felt like that was the only way to feel alive, and he got drunk quite a bit until he realized that craig was actually a pretty cool roommate. (he didn’t give craig the time of day before craig offered to down one of his bottles when lyndon was doing the classic edward fortyhands. they were buddies afterwards, though they kept it all as a friendship hiding some wonderful mutual pining) he didn’t get his act together until c, aka the amanda’s other parent, hired this unorthodoxly well-dressed man to be her personal shopper after his boyfriend (who was his boyfriend for barely a month) gave her the recommendation to hire him. lyndon sobered up, slowly but surely, as he spent more and more time with c. they were basically soulmates, except not the romantic kind. they were honestly just really good friends who eventually moved in together as lyndon realized that he actually really enjoyed finding looks that would fit her style. then he realized that he really wanted to design his own clothes. lyndon found his way into a fashion designing company focused on children’s clothes, which he dedicated himself to wholeheartedly. once he and c were both comfortable with their lifestyles, c mentioned offhandedly one day that she wanted a kid, and lyndon realized he did too. so after a lot long talks at night about how this would work, they agreed that they would adopt a child. they would be this kid’s parents wholeheartedly and unbashedly, even though they weren’t romantically invested in each other. so, they adopted amanda. it was really good for a while, then c died. lyndon invested himself in amanda’s life along with work, but he never overextended the way craig did. he made it to every bakesale, every spelling bee tournament, even learned how the hell to cook for her. sure, his social life definitely declined greatly, but he didn’t mind. he didn’t want to meet anyone who could bring his impulsiveness back out, which inevitably led to lyndon losing a lot of his ability to charm people that he didn’t know well. that’s why when he ran into craig again, he was beyond excited to be with him again. because he was the one person who stood by his side during his worst times, those sweet sweet college years. (sorry that got long. i just really love my dadsona)

21 : Would you actually parent like your Dad-sona?

i would want to!! i don’t think my execution would be too great though;; i think i would definitely put more love into my kid than work, be there for them emotionally.

22 : Would you consider your Dad-sona a “good dad”?

he’s the kind of caring dad that i’ve always wanted in my life, the kind who doesn’t forget about me

23 : How much time have you logged into the game?

a solid number of hours, i’m not sure of the specifics;;

25 : Did the game live up to, transcend, or fall short of your expectations?

i am so glad that this exists. like this game has such a beautiful cast of representation along with intriguing story lines that really make you invested in the dads. sure you might not like one or two of them, but you find that one dad who just gets you and it feels good.

#makoshirogane #asks #ask meme #lyndon mcnut #because i wrote out his full story on this blog and i need a tag for him #i love my dadsona y'all #alsO THANK U FOR THIS!!! it was so much fun to do oh man!!#it took like an hour but it was Mega worth it
