So yeah love the big guy.

The rooftop scene is SO much more romantic and intimate with Ryan. The shy way Alex and Ryan look at each other while they talk is adorable (Alex and Steph don’t do this). Also it has the really cute “I really wanna kiss you right now/I know” moment. I don’t know why, but I also really like the fact that the kiss makes the plants grow rather than causing shooting stars.

One thing I love about ryan's romance over stephs is that he doesnt do that thing steph does, where steph is like "you're so busy helping everyone else with their needs, have you ever actually thought about what you need?" after basically outright saying she wants alex to leave haven and go traveling with her, and im like...yo bro, I get what the writers were going for, but that just kind of makes it seem like Steph thinks she knows what alex needs better than alex does, even though they barely know each other, which is just not my cup of tea. Meanwhile Ryan leaves it very up in the air, like "if you decide to put down roots here we'll always have a place for you" which is ACTUALLY allowing alex room to make her own decisions, and he isnt trying to act like he knows her more than he does. It's funny because Im a bi woman with a heavier leaning toward my attraction to women, but I just...didnt like steph's romance. It felt flighty and childish, like it wouldn't last. It's impulsive and "in the moment", which seems romantic when you're a teenager or I suppose in your early twenties, but it just isnt realistic and not a good basis for a long lasting relationship. Ryan to me just feels like the more natural and mature choice, but my preference here is also just based on life experience.

I'm straight irl, so most of the time, I just pick female characters regardless of if it makes sense for the actual protagonist, but tbh, I picked Ryan on my playthrough of this game. In LiS1 I went for Chloe, in BtS I went for Rachel, and in LiS2 I went for Cassidy, but this was the one LiS game where I 100% picked the male character instead. I just felt like he was much more stable and what Alex needed rather than Steph, who was more of a 'wild lesbian love' stereotype that was already done well with a more interesting character (Chloe) in the 1st game. I definitely think staying in Haven Springs w/ Ryan is the most fulfilling ending for Alex.

The 75% gay... max gets 0%, bc I ain't into that cutesie girly type, but Rachel gets 20% just because shes the type that would seduce me with her eyes and then dump me after a snog and leave me alone and sad, so then I'd give 25% to Chloe bc she's just THE BEST. She's hot, funny, and just a bad ass. Thing is, she's the most like me (yeah im the shit) so we'd end up besties and I'd throw 25% at steph and we'd end up sticking together. That extra 5% goes to Alex, only bc of her thiccness... she's pasically the only one of them I wouldn't break when I touched. They need to stop making all the lesbians so waifish ffs.
