@delurkr If you have those articles I’d love to give them a read !!

Actually you’re right though; especially with a small town like Little Hope? Chances are the factory just hasn’t been doing super well for a long while (I wonder if there is other info we could find in the game about the factory?? But I also heard the wiki isn’t super reliable so I wouldn’t know how much I could trust ahaha)

I’d love to go back and roam around the Clarke house before I can give a suggestion for adoption ages for Tanya, Dennis, and Anthony, but honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Megan got adopted not too soon before everything went downhill with the family. Like maybe a few months or so before things went sour with the factory or maybe even a year or two? So I’m looking at around age 8-9 earliest being 7? The way I’m seeing it is: things were happy for a bit, the factory stuff happened, and the responsibility for Megan gets put on Anne and Anthony, with Tanya and Dennis both being busy with their job/football career. With Anne being preoccupied with trying to rope James back into the family and other chores, I think Anthony would wind up taking most of the responsibility of Megan and thus allow him to feel a little more bonded with Megan (There’s a post I wanted to write about their relationship and it’s reflection in one quote that Anthony says in one of the endings and something in the prologue but it’s currently in drafts).

I do want to say Tanya, Dennis, and Anthony most likely got adopted around the same time as each other since Anthony seems to be at least somewhat close to both of them as well, but as to what age they were? I’m not sure

Maybe I’ll get back to you on a specific age for the three of them! But in the meantime I’d love to hear your thoughts on what ages you think they would’ve been adopted (I wonder if there are photos you can search around for in the house...? If there were any at all?)

#replies: little hope #little hope #little hope rambles #yknow. halfway through the day i was like 'oh maybe i dont have anymore thoughts on little hope' #but ig i needed to be prompted lolol #i forgot whether or not i say it on this blog but ! i dont actually own the game #games like the dark pictures anthology actually give me major anxiety due to the qtes and well. fucking up lol #so i often have to rely on watching other people play it and i watched gab smoulder play through it ! #she went through 3/6 endings and i had to watch the rest on my own but it also means i mightve missed on things she checked/didnt check haha #oh i. also wanted to squeeze in the fact that dennis and tanya's relationship with megan also makes it seem like megan was adopted at such a #later time and past when the familial stress started happening #so it gave them little chance to really bond with megan #and so we wind up seein them frequently look down on megan without bothering to get to know her #actually i wonder when tanya started working at the diner? because maybe that might point a little bit more to possibilities of adoption #times/ the family stress started happening #but then again thats also assuming tanyas working to help bring money to the family #shes already mentioned before that she wants to spend as much time away from the family as she could so #BUT ANYWAYS im just rambling now. loooots of thoughts but so little coherency lolol #thats just the windywhispers way
