how do we purchase the dlc? im very confused as to where to buy...

WAHHHH IM SO EXCITED!!! ive already started making lane posters because im locked in for life!

honestly... im superrr into yanderes. i tend to indulge in vns with such aspects actually! there's a lot of aspects i enjoy about it, but i really love how protective they can get! not a fan of yanderes that'd kill my bff or such a thing JUST because we're close. but im very much into the type of yanderes that'd kill to keep me safe cus the world is cruel. BB caught my eye first and got me into installing the game. im a sucker for quiet, shy guys that'd seem like they would— in lane's words— "cum their pants while talking to a girl". BB also does SPOILER KINDA?? kill the guy that got violent with me when telling him "no, you cant have my number" so hes right up my alley.

buuuut then.. lane came onto the screen and started talking. at first i ew-ed because lane is the type of guy i hate (or so i thought), then i got to smiling and rolling my eyes at him and also myself whenever he'd say something cute or sweet. and i do genuinely find him funny, so i'd catch myself laughing at his jokes no matter how outrageous or childish. except the sexist ones.. def not laughing at those.

lane's complexities just draw me innn admittedly. and unfortunately for biker boy, i do find myself enjoying more of my time spent with lane (sorry BB.. forgive me) lane was indeed ghosted by a girl!! im not sure if you were asking if that happened to him or if it could be a link to why he doesnt like being ignored. but he was ghosted by a girl he loved. to me, it explains why he doesnt really like being super vulnerable or why he has that specific outlook on love in general. his parents def played a role somehow into the lane we see today. a tumblr ask on spar0w's acc alludes to such and we will learn more in the shift 3 update which im super excited for. queue a will to live till 2026!!

and thank you! ive loved all of your points! being able to discuss them at all has been very enjoyable for me. :)

WAITTT IM SO SEATED

him saying scorpios are terrifying is so funny when you realise BB is a scorpio LMAO

BOTTOM LANE IS REAL?!!! WE CHEERED!!! im so seated for the lane sheet!!!!! im not sure if my ask had gone through on tumblr, but im the one that asked about a full body picture of him TT 

(i will be back in your tumblr ask box soon abt lane yuuup!!!)

oh my daysss same. i got the neutral route first then i found there was a lane route and immediately ran for the hills to start over! and needless to say, i fell even harder for him. very proud of myself for doing his route because you learn so much more about him and some of the things hes been through which very much shaped him into the lane we see now. 

im very intrigued to learn more about some of the things he faced growing up because he only touches on a few things briefly while alluding to other things such as possible physical abuse(?) and toxic parents.

and yes! speaking about that particular line. it really struck me because it comes off as an indication for depressive behaviours/symptoms. as in, what if this job and what he does (or lack thereof most of the time) is all he believes he can do? its very easy for people who are depressed to get into a stalemate. how he is psychological interests me a lot esp as someone who is studying psych. and it makes me wonder about his interests. as in, what does he enjoy? what did he ever dream about doing? because im sure it wasnt working at a grocery store like this.

YOU GET ITTTT and YOU GET ME!!! the way he perked up so quick over being called a "good boy" had me swinging my legs back n forth in my chair. and yes!!!!! i love my pathetic loser men. my favourite type honestly.

IVE FOUND MY PEOPLEEEE.  im so glad someone understands the lane agenda.

okay, i came back to share my full thoughts because my last comment was made when i finished playing through the routes at like 4am... but prepare for the LANE yappathon because i have sooo much to say. spoilers as well. i thiiink.

lane is one of those characters that seriously annoy the shit out of you then gives you whiplash when they come through when you like really need it. i honestly dont know if i'd touch a man like lane irl with a 20ft pole, but i do appreciate his depth in this game. its an unfortunate reality that some men irl do genuinely believe that sexist jokes are funny, but lane makes it a biiiit more bearable in the fictional world by being hot and having such sweet moments that had me pulling back from computer and pinching myself to make sure i was reading his dialogue correctly.

as we got to learn more about lane, it really helped me understand him a bit more. he strikes me as the type that has been so deeply hurt that he wears this jester mask- constantly telling jokes to cope and hide his fear of being vulnerable. i have like.. mixed feelings about being able to blame him and call him names when he finally opens up and shares something vulnerable. especially since we as the player, shared our worst fear and lane wasn't one to tear us down about it. it just goes to show that even his jokes have boundaries which i can appreciate. even when he does go over the line i like how he seemingly reflects on it if we do express discomfort. 

lane can be an asshole, but he's not a genuinely malicious one. which again, i can appreciate a lot. and i think that's what keeps me drawn to him and still floating over to his route without even thinking or realizing. but back my mini lane psychoanalysis. with people who constantly hide their true feelings and fear of being vulnerable behind jokes, i believe its important to take them seriously when they do open up and share something vulnerable. you gotta realise,, they wear this mask probably because they've had poor experiences with opening up in the past and the last thing you (i) want is to be the person that gives them a valid reason to keep wearing that mask. you can think of it like a hermit crab that peeks out of its shell during rare moments. but if you shame it or put it down, it'll just retreat back into its shell thinking "see? this is why i stay inside"

however a part of me does understand why we have the option to laugh lane off or put him down in a way. its because that's usually the reality of people who adopt a "clown" persona. people don't know when to take them seriously and it becomes a "the boy who cried wolf" situation. so i get it.

besides that.. lane is the type of mf to act nonchalant and go "yeah im nonchalant guys" even though he's so obviously seething over it. im sure (?) the biker boy gets jealous but i thiink he keeps it under wraps. when lane is jealous, this guy is a fucking landmine. someone HELP HIM. HELLLPPPP. (/ref) he will sit in your face and swear up and down that hes not jealous then have a yap off with a guy who is like semimute. he looked like the guy talking to a brick wall gif too. and that scene felt like watching a couple argue loudly in a fancy restaurant as like the waiter who just wants to know what their food order will be so they can escape back to the kitchen or literally ANYWHERE else. like lane.. bbygirl.. hes just standing there. what do you want from him?? crying emoji.

i voice the vns i play and the whole time i had to pause and just scream "why are the girls fightinggg!!!???" i was like.. lane i love u pooks, but you are about to end up on the 7am news "body found behind mad dog convenience store mangled and unrecognizable" like PLEASEEEE i cant save you once you are in the grave!!! save yourself !!!!!! then another apart of me was rating the roasts between the two. when we have the option to say we giggled at his insult towards biker boy, admittedly... i do be giggling. lane says the most ridiculous shit sometimes that i cant help BUT laugh and also im just a trashy girlthing that definitely laughs at the stupidest jokes. i dont even want to get into how i laughed for a solid 3 mins over lane putting B00BS and B00BIES in his calculator. im literally just a girl </3

but i be like... how does he even come up with shit like this? cause he just kept going!! like bae you're not even digging your own grave. you've dug a hole, placed the casket, and hopped in it, bracing yourself for death. his jealousy quite nearly got him killed. but ykw? thats very lane of him. of courseee he'd be the type of guy to let such an emotion get the best of him. but death by jealousy lane? please stop and think for a minute!! but i think he might need two mins cause you never know with him really.

proud to say i was giggling like a school girl and kicking my feet when i got the dare option with lane. beecasueeee!!!! his heartbeat will say all the things he cant!!!!! and the piercings... likeeee what are you trying to get into by telling me that lane? and our little banter when recalling slapping him. talking about how i could collar him and he would bark if i told him to. lane... you should've started with that from the very beginning. he's truly a man after my heart after saying that. and now i need him oiled up on the stockroom cardboard boxes because he needs to be plowed. now, he could've been joking about bottoming, but after joking about being the gf in the relationship.. it might have a little truth behind it orrrr im just pulling the craziest things out of my mind thats been infected with bottom! lane. but i love a good bratty bottom. once again... im just a girllll </33333 needless to say he will be living in my mind rent free until im in my own grave.

and i definitely clicked on him during free roam so many times until i exhausted any other unique dialogue options.

i could say so much more about this man in the intimate sense, but i shall keep the rest to myself. anywaysss tdlr is.. i love lane even though he makes me wanna rip out my hair and gouge out my eyes sometimes... to the point where some of his sexist comments made me need to stand up and walk a lap in my room to calm down. oh and bottom lane supremacy because im shameless. 
 

edit: i have over 140 screenshots of lane.. i think its over for me.....

i love lane so much but dislike him at the same time?!!! like he says something that wins my heart then he says something sexist that makes me go "wow you're a lot hotter when you shut the fuck up" but thats still my pookie even though hes an insufferable brat at times that makes some the shittiest and sexist "jokes". really curious as to why amelia said "you still call him lane?" like... what3vr that means...

also.. is the story from the old man foreshadowing lane and the biker boy?

im super late, but basically, you have to skip work and essentially isolate yourself!

i need a guide TT i keep getting the same bad end where i die... qwq great game nonetheless!

edit: i apparently just had to skip work...lol

please tell us how

i loved ronin's route sm... i plan on doing misaki's later. but i adored his personality, his voice, and his story.
