@tarraxahum …I’m sat.
sometimes, it destroys me to think about how Max didn’t recognize Chloe in the bathroom. i don’t get why nobody is talking about it. how, when Chloe asks her, she’s obviously ashamed of not recognizing her immediately. how she wishes she would’ve. how they’re both bittersweet about it. because what do you mean you don’t recognize her. this is your childhood best friend. you grew up alongside her. you know her better than you know yourself, she knows you like the back of her hand. but you don’t recognize her. to you, she’s still the 14 year old girl who just lost her father. to her, you’re still the 13 year old girl who left her behind. you didn’t get to see her cut her hair, and dye them blue, and become who she is, so you still know her by heart, but when you see her for the first time after five years, when you save her life, you don’t recognize her. then, she saves you in the parking lot, and you look into her eyes, and then you just know. and she does too. because she’s your childhood best friend, and you know her better than yourself, and she knows you like the back of her hand, and you get in her car, and you recognize her now. of course you do. because after five years you’re still Max Caulfield.

I’m starting to see people talk about the fact that Chloe let Max wear Rachel’s clothes in episode 3 again, saying that she was trying to replace Rachel with her, and to see Rachel in her and I’m like nooooooooo. Don’t. It’s not like that. I thought, we, as a fandom, had moved forward from this conversation.

Max Caulfield is the only character I’ve heard of who, within a week, went from wanting to save a girl she thought she didn’t know in the bathroom and keeping her own questions about her new time travel powers for later to willing to sacrifice a whole town of people she didn’t know and didn’t want to know about if that meant she could spend her life with her childhood best friend (/love of her life), and the fact that these two events are linked is driving me crazy. Like, she can’t chose both. It’s one extreme or another. She can’t chose to make all the right decisions, because if she decides to save the town, she’d have to let Chloe die, to let her get killed knowing she could have prevented that. And letting the town get destroyed isn’t all wrong either, because it comes from her originally saving that girl she didn’t even think she knew in the first place. This action, that’s considered awful, comes from an utterly pure, good action. And the action of saving the town, that’s considered heroic, comes from the absolutely cruel, fucked up action of letting a girl who never had a happy ending die alone in a bathroom. The ‘good choice’ and the ‘bad choice’ are two sides of the same coin. Do you get it. I’m going insane over here.

We're always together. Even when we're not.
"I told you once that we are always together, even when we’re not. And you repeated that on the tape you left me. That wasn’t just us being mushy. That has always been true. I never stopped imagining how your life went, what you were doing. I would often think about that. About you. There was always a version of you present with me. When you left, we were both still kids. But the part of you that stayed with me, she didn’t remain a kid. That part of you was not a memory. Memories of lost loved ones are dead, frozen. But she was alive. She kept growing with me. She lost her ponytail and grew out her hair. Her pudgy face of a kid gave way to a beautifully sculpted face with prominent cheekbones. She started having her own style of dress and makeup. And at some point I realized I not only had lost a best friend. I also had lost a person I wanted to fall in love with. When I realized that, your absence, the lack of you, already unbearable, hit me even harder. And when I met you again … I realized the part of you that stayed with me and the rest of you, you both grew up to be the same. You looked the same, you talked the same, you felt the same way about me and I felt the same way about you. She wasn’t just a figment of my imagination. She really was a part of you. Perhaps it’s been me all along who’s had some kind of superpower. Perhaps I wasn’t just imagining what you were doing. Perhaps I really saw you from time to time with my mind’s eye. Telepathy or however you want to call it. Or maybe it wasn’t any kind of superpower. Just love. I mean, wasn’t the source of your time travelling power love as well? Why a butterfly? Insect wings, like a seraph? A guardian angel? You wanted to be my guardian angel. If that’s not love, I don’t know what is”.

STOP WHY WOULD YOU HIDE THIS IN THE TAGS @maxthesillyy. This is so true. Joyce spent literal years watching David treating Chloe like crap right in front of her, and even now that he’s raising his hand at her she’s not reacting, but the second he talks a little too harshly to Max, she jumps to take her side and honestly. Chloe cannot *not* have noticed that. Obviously she wasn’t going to start a scene about this since they were already all fighting with David, but I’m pretty sure she would’ve under different circumstances because. The audacity. I would’ve gone mad.
It’s because of this exact moment that I can’t bring myself to like David, honestly. Like, we’ve seen him being physically abusive once in Chloe’s room if Max doesn’t step in for her, but even if she does, it’s heavily implied that he is (and has been) abusive this whole time. It’s so easy to miss, but you can see him raising his hand, and Chloe immediately taking a step back. The reason why he didn’t actually hit her was probably because he didn’t want to do it in front of Joyce, but still.

Still don’t get how there are homophobic people in the Life is Strange fanbase, especially on Reddit. Like my dude, this place isn’t for you. Generally, these people didn’t play Before the Storm (or any of the following games for that matter) and didn’t kiss Chloe in the first game, and their favorite thing to do is going under every pricefield post to claim that their relationship is purely platonic— thinking that doesn’t make you homophobic, but thinking the game is ruined for you if the main character isn’t straight is. Plus, how can you play that game, see Chloe Elizabeth Price and think ‘yeah that girl’s straight’, be for real right now. And like, you’re in Max Caulfield’s head, who calls girls pretty every time she opens her mouth? And like, you hear Chloe talking about Rachel and you think ‘yeah so she was totally not in love with her’? Interesting.

okay but the fact that Chloe never question Max once if she doesn't rewind after she kills Frank because Max told her earlier she wouldn't let her count on her powers and no matter how fucked up and painful this is and will be for her she's respecting her will shows how much she's grown as a character and isn't the toxic person all the haters pretend she is. like, it's such a small detail (not really but yk what I mean) that you could so easily miss but it speaks volumes.

I know this scene is sad but to be honest, I think it’s cute that Max canonically cling to her childhood plushie when she’s in need of comfort

Surprised I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Max is probably terrified of storms now-
I think she would be too, at the very least in the initial aftermath of the storm! However, one of my more angsty headcanons is that Max and Chloe suffer from storm anxiety long after the events of Arcadia Bay.
For Max, it comes in the form of overthinking. The rumble of thunder in the distance always makes her wonder if the past is chasing her. Depending on which ending she's gone through, she has two different concerns. If she's sacrificed Chloe, then she worries that her best friend's death will be for nothing, and the town will be wiped out, with no way for her to go back to the cliffs.
If she's sacrificed the town, she worries she could be a harbinger of death and chaos wherever she goes. All it it takes is a little rain for her to question if the universe is still angry about it's unpaid price.
Chloe tries to be the steady one for Max's sake, but she has a lot of problems with storms as well. She's always checking the SCP for weather updates and pays close attention to any odd weather phenomena near them. Storms are also hard for her emotionally. It's hard not to feel the rain on her skin and be taken right back to the lighthouse. It's hard not to hear the roar of lighting and know it was one of the final things Joyce heard. It's hard not to hear people talk about the crazy weather in their town and think about her town that no longer exists.
It's hard for me to think Max and Chloe wouldn't come out of Arcadia without some level of storm anxiety, especially because we see the severe effect the storm had on people more distant from it, like Steph. And as someone who's had personal experience with her town being hit by a tornado…yeah, that sticks with you. But! It's nothing that can't be recovered from, and I'm sure Max and Chloe will in the long term.
