Pricefield! Fluff!

Life is Strange - Max Caufield x Chloe Price

After saving Chloe at the expense of Arcadia Bay, our favorite girls are forced to flee their hometown. It soon becomes apparent that while they can run from the storm, running from their desires just isn't plausible.

“I swear I could sleep forever,” Max mutters, cuddling into the blanket further. The motel had proven to be a good idea, using someone else’s hot water and blankets was always nice. The pair were too tired to even notice the television only had four channels, or that the mattress was a little lumpy. Maybe things just weren’t so bad if they had each other.

“We can stay as long as you'd like,” Chloe trails off, “s’cheap enough anyways we deserve a vacation.” she babbles with eyes half closed, no longer sure of her words. The girls lay in bed, inches between. The last room available happened to be a single, and she had managed to haggle the price down, so fucking score again. When the man in the office mentioned the single bed, Chloe felt something flutter deep in her gut. It was a giddy, childlike feeling, but muddled with some sort of anxiety.

Max shifted in the bed, mind still racing, “Will you hold me?” She heard the words fall from her lips before they even registered in her brain. The question appears to catch both girls off guard. It hung in the air for a moment, Max began to babble, face growing red, “I- 'm sorry I really didn’t mean to… I just, I can't stop it's all too much. I don’t know what's w-wrong with me.”

Without hesitation, she pulls the smaller girl into her arms, as if rehearsed, as if Chloe had been waiting a lifetime. Instantly the tension evicts Max’s body. The sweet musk of her shampoo, perfume, whatever it was completely enveloped Chloe. Holding her tight just felt natural, like all was well with the world. Comforting others has never come easy for Chloe, always awkward, never knowing what to say or do. Not with Max though, she made everything easy. Existing with her felt like hearing an old song and singing along perfectly, yet recalling none of the lyrics. She traces small circles into Max’s back, the smaller girl somewhat buried in her chest.

“There is nothing wrong with you,” Chloe starts, angry at the world for putting her max through all of this, “y-you didn't ask for any of this. You shouldn't have seen even half the shit you did. Max, I swear to you if there was a way I could take it all away, I’d do it.” Max looks up at her, tears in those beautiful blue eyes threatening to spill. A pang of fear hits Chloe right in the gut. Did she say something wrong? Did Chloe cause those tears?

She begins to ramble, “Shit, I’m not saying I'm not glad I found you again, or that you shouldn’t have saved me or-or anything like that,” a sense of urgency laced her tone, god she was supposed to be helping not making it worse. “I just- I wish I could fix it, seriously Max. I am so so fucking happy you’re with me again. I don’t know, I guess, i-i just feel like it's all my fault” Her voice thickened towards the end, holding back a sob. ‘This is not about you Chloe,’ she thinks, reprimanding herself for being so selfish. But the guilt had been festering, gnawing at her organs like some feral dog with a bone. She was the reason the whole world had turned upside down.

“C-Chloe,” Max mumbled, sitting up to look at her properly. With shaky hands, she took the girl's face in her hands. Forcing Chloe to meet her eyes, hands lingering on her cheeks a bit too long before pushing the messy blue hair behind her ears. Her hands rest languidly on Chloe’s shoulders, reassuring her somehow. Max sat and contemplated her next words before answering, “None of this was you, okay? This is some freak-supernatural stuff okay? I do not blame you. Do you hear me? Please don't ever think that. I’d go through it all again if it meant I had you. Chloe, you're my best friend.”

It was like Max was able to reach inside and undo the knots in Chloe’s stomach. No one had ever done so with such ease, such grace. Not even Rachel, though that hurt to admit. Max just knew her, regardless of the years apart. Deep down, way below the rough punk girl exterior, Chloe was still the same little girl Max had grown up with. A soft smile inched its way to the surface, god how could she not smile looking at her? The way her hair fell, perfectly framed those soft doe eyes. Those fucking freckles and long lashes. The way Max would look up at her, eyelids heavy, how could anyone keep a straight face? Chloe hadn’t realized she was staring until she felt a soft squeeze on her shoulder.

“Thank you,” Chloe mustered up, embarrassment pricking at her cheeks. She shifted in place, yearning for closeness once more. These feelings, they can't be normal. Max’s words reverberate in her skull, ‘my best friend’ they stung a little. Those ten letters formed a lump in her throat, a pit in her chest. The words had some sort of mal effect on her, and she just couldn’t pinpoint the reason. Chloe once again chalked it up to just feeling weird about Arcadia.

The blank look in Chloe’s eyes prompts Max to speak. Whatever had her in such a trance could not possibly be kind. Max used a shaky hand to brush the girl’s cheek, “Do you think we could get some sleep now?” she proposed, pulling Chloe from the complexities that danced in her mind.

She nods silently and lays her head on the pillow, wriggling slightly to settle in. Max drapes an arm around her shoulders, pulling that mess of blue hair onto her chest. Upon feeling the weight on her chest, Max lets out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding. This was a comfort unknown to her, never before had she felt this light. An absentminded hand travels to Chloe’s hair, despite all the bleach and dye damn it was soft. With her fingers tangled in the blue locks, everything felt right in the world.

“Everything that happened was so terrible,” Max breathes, wanting to offer one final comfort before slumber claimed them both, “It was so terrible, we’re not okay. But we’re gonna be. We can work through it Price, we’re a team and-and we can heal together. I’ll help you, we don't have to face things alone.” max consoled, her voice wavering ever so slightly.

“It's you and me against the world Caufield, now and forever,” Chloe assured, tightening her grip on the smaller girl, as if afraid she’d get snatched away, “seriously max, what would I do without you?” she let out a small chuckle before closing her eyes and passing out, still entangled with her best friend.

I have yet to begin writing the rest of this (call of duty brainrot is taking over my life) but i promise my google doc has many many ideas. stay tuned ig? lots of love, liz

Why does "To All of You" fit the opening of Season 1 so well?

For me, one of the most memorable moments of Season 1 comes near the beginning, when Max puts her headphones on and traverses the school corridor listening to "To All of You" by Syd Matters.

The most obvious reason to enjoy this scene is that we get to listen to a damn good song while Max entertains us with her insightful (and often witty) comments about the realities of school life.

But I think that "To All of You" works in this scene in three more ways. As an expression of Max's state of mind, as a heads-up for the player on what to expect moving forward and finally, as a premonition of things which might come true in the end.

In my mind, the song is about the idealized image of women in popculture, especially American cinema. "Shiny smiles and plastic bodies" - a perfect, but ultimately impossible to achieve (and therefore not real) image. The only thing that can result from chasing this unattainable ideal is sadness - "I cry sometimes, walking around my own place; Wondering why she cries sometimes". People trying to conform to impossible standards will always be disappointed in the end.

While the song is explicitly about beauty standards, I think its message can be extrapolated. It's about desiring things that are perfect and being sad that they're impossible to achieve. This works as an expression of Max's state of mind.

Max wishes to become a renowned artist. She wants her works to be appreciated by others. That's the ideal she strives for. But as it is often the case, there is a discrepancy between what we imagine and what we get. Putting her work out there is very difficult for Max. She's full of self-doubt. To the point she tears up a photograph that would win the competition if submitted. Max is sad because of the irreconcilable difference between what she wants and what she has the strength to do. It's going to take at least a few sessions of coaching by Chloe for Max to discover her confidence.

Since the song is about being nostalgic over the things that we desire, but are ultimately not real, I think it also serves as a heads-up for the player to suspend their disbelief. There's going to be mystery and mysticism ahead. Which you could dress up in SF mumbo-jumbo like vague references to quantum physics or chaos theory, but why bother? Isn't it more fun to just say the power of love and the desire to protect those close to you transcends time and space?

And finally, the song serves as a wish which may come true. It's a song about someone desiring an American girlfiend that they could take for a drive on the seaside. Well, if Max plays her cards right, at the end of the week she's going to have a girlfriend driving her around. A girlfriend with a rebel spirit, who is giddy about guns, proudly displays a US flag in her room (which is the only large surface in her room not defaced with grafitti) and drives an impractically large, gas-guzzling SUV. Truly, an American girlfriend.

Sunshine for Everyone pt.1

Pricefield! Fluff!

Life is Strange - Max Caufield x Chloe Price

After saving Chloe at the expense of Arcadia Bay, our favorite girls are forced to flee their hometown. It soon becomes apparent that while they can run from the storm, running from their desires just isn't plausible.

It had been just over two weeks since Arcadia Bay was swept up, just over two weeks Chloe and Max had been together. Well not exactly together but you know, facing the ugly world together! Chloe simply had to make light of the situation. Sure she had planned to get the hell out as soon as possible, but she didn’t think it would come this soon and at such a high price.

Upon leaving the Bay, the pair just drove. Neither have much left in them to talk, let alone settle on a destination. The silence drove Chloe wild, she couldn’t stand this. It wasn’t like the comfortable silence you share with an old friend, this was piercing and loud and it had effectively frozen Chloe. ‘Hands-on the wheel, 10 and 2. You know how to drive Chloe you're fine,’ She repeated these words over and over.

In the passenger seat sat the brunette, eyes still wide, adrenaline still pumping through her veins. If you had seen her head-on she’d look like a baby deer caught in the headlights. Max’s head was spinning, reeling even. Trying to piece the right timeline together was proving difficult. Max remembered it all, some bits were fuzzy, but what can you expect trying to make years' worth of action fit into a couple of days? It’s useless, trying to figure out how the alternate events had still managed to stick with her. Still send chills down her spine, still feel the hands on her skin.

Blackwell Academy had to be in ruins right now. Despite never getting too close to her peers, despite the snarky comments and rude remarks, Max wondered if they were okay. Blackwell had to have some sort of emergency safety plan for things like this. Right? Not knowing the details of the catastrophe in her hometown, a catastrophe that she very well may have caused, made her stomach turn.

She tried to shake the thoughts from her brain but to no avail. She was too tired-both of them were- to even begin to rationalize anything. Max’s mind jumped from topic to topic, one person to the next. Unable to slow her racing thoughts, she makes a mental note to write this shit down with Chloe once their heads were on straight. Images of Chloe’s lifeless body flashed through her mind. A pit opens up in her stomach, she could puke right now just at the thought of losing her again. Max swallowed hard and pushed the bad thoughts away, her gaze landing on the gearshift.

Night came quickly, as if the whole world was ready to end this day early. the sound of distant frogs and birds echoed through the cab of the truck. The air felt heavy, gloomy almost. It hung in the air and smelled faintly like impending doom. ‘But that’s behind us now,” Max thought hopefully. This is probably the most positive conversation she’d had with herself since… she's not sure.

The silence was finally broken when Chloe cleared her throat, a vowel hung off her lips as if unsure what to say. “So,” she started. Max was glad that she didn’t have to speak first, she had been trying to think of something for hours but nothing came to mind. It felt as if she was just a passenger in this body, not in control, watching from the backseat. Max wondered if she was even able to speak, it seemed the words got caught in her throat every time her mouth opened. Chloe’s soft voice broke through all the noisy, terrible thoughts, “I think we should pull into the next motel I see and pass out there, of all people we deserve a good night’s sleep” she says with an almost defeated, exhausted sigh, “You really did amazing today super-Max, thank you for helping me, for saving me. Ya know I'm just glad after all this time we can still be so, I don’t know. I really missed you a lot.” Chloe finally verbalizes the words she's been meaning to get out this entire ride, no week.

Her eyes dart back to the road, she was just letting her feelings fall out of her mouth, and now she looks like a fucking idiot. Her body is tense until the smaller girl carefully cups her cheek. In lieu of answering, Max plants a kiss on Chloe’s left cheek. Maybe it was the lack of sleep, the crazy events that transpired, or the fact that Chloe Price really just said thank you. Whatever the reason Max just leaned into her friend as if she were some sort of big headrest, and at that a very comfy one. Her mind had finally grown quiet, Chloe’s words were genuine and kind, reminding the brunette that maybe there is a light at the end. Max nods into the tattooed arm, before letting out of sigh of contentment and beginning to doze off.

Fireworks were exploding in Chloe’s body. Every cell was on fire, every breath Max took was hot on her clothed skin. The second she felt the touch, it was like someone had turned the dial to her senses all the way up. Surely this was some sort of trauma response, the pair had been through a lot. But the heat spreading across her face was enough of a tell. Trauma doesn’t make you blush and smile like a crazy person. No, this is something real, pure, good even. Jesus Christ, Chloe is just glad it's dark- no doubt her cheeks have flushed a deep, embarrassing red.

Upon pulling into a sketchy-looking motel, Chloe sat back and gazed at the girl, no, the woman in her passenger seat. Max’s face was finally peaceful. This past week had changed her, changed the both of you. Her gaze was set on the sleeping girl’s lips, not on purpose but also not fighting it. Parted ever so slightly, plump, and so fucking soft. Guilt settles back into Chloe’s stomach as she pulls her eyes away. The heavy, suffocating reality that sits like lead in your chest, in the top of your stomach. “Chloe that is your best friend. She saved your life, don’t even that's horrible,” Chloe reprimands herself as she climbs out of the truck, overly careful to not wake Max, “and she's so straight,” she mumbles, reminding herself of the worst part.

-

“Hey, Maxine!” Chloe muses, jingling the key to the room around a slender finger. Max does not budge, doesn’t even twitch. ‘God she is out cold huh?’ Chloe thinks, wondering how exactly to get the girl out of the truck and into the room.

Tentatively, Chloe reaches her hand out, softly pushing the stray hairs from that face. My god that face, it filled Chloe with a feeling she couldn’t describe at all. This was completely foreign to her, to have such a deep regard for someone it could be misconstrued as illness.

Max begins to stir, feeling eyes on her through the sleepy haze. “H-hey Supermax, good nap?” Chloe sounds surprised, caught off guard almost. She begins to spin the cheap keychain around her fingers, “I got us a room, and we’re lucky because it was the last they had,” Chloe says, taking the girl’s hands in an effort to coax her up.

Max rubs the sleep from her eyes. For a moment, all is well. For just a fleeting moment Max has forgotten the terrible events of the week. In that same moment, the realization comes, robbing her of the short-lived bliss. Chloe can tell the exact moment she recalls everything. The beautiful content look on her face was quickly replaced with knitted brows, big scared eyes, and just a general emptiness. “Hey, we could jump on the bed?!” Chloe suggests, almost out of desperation. Seeing her bright and positive partner in crime so detached, so void of color, fills Chloe with the need to fix it. A delicate smile flashes across the girl's face, and Chloe feels the worry start to melt away.
