HUMOR FLAIR. 

// ok not joking unlike i am in the title, i kinda wish people didn't try to justify the weird route as the "correct" or "canon" route, or say stuff like "weird route Noelle is the real Noelle", like yeah dude "real noelle" is totally a murderer, and the thorn ring actually does literally nothing it's just really funny it's just decorative, she woulda done that at any time she just.. uh.. wanted to wear a ring that physically hurts her before doing that.. for some reason..

// i really think "real noelle is the weird noelle" believers just straight up forget that Noelle didn't think chapter 2 was real.. and therefor dropped her fake smile and acts noticeably different in the dark world compared to the light world.. she thinks the world around her isn't real so she acts much closer to her real self, "real noelle" that dropped the happy persona isn't WR, it's chapter 2.

// "the thorn ring did literally nothing and also the chapter 4 scene also did literally nothing" is honestly not given enough shit, people genuinely believe that. noelle literally doesn't even have the same facial structure anymore but yea totally nothing changed..

// i really think attempts at justifying WR is largely people who assume any participation in art is a moral judgement, so they have to ""justify"" doing an evil route in a game, instead of just going "EVIL ROUTES ARE FUN AND I'M INTERESTED IN WHERE THIS WILL GO" 



Suggestion to ban discussions of the the weird route because it's fans are really annoying.
