ND: No Problem

Fanart for the latest Nancy Drew game, The Captive Curse. Not really a spoiler if you haven't played it yet.

SO. YOU GUYS. I expected a couple of things from this game: 1.) creepy castles, 2.) epic German accents, 3.) some Sonny Joon references. (Only because my friend had already informed me that she had found his resume.) IN GENERAL, PRETTY TYPICAL STUFF.

So it was a total shock to me when the game started out with major drama between Nancy and Ned. I am... not overly fond of the two of them together. Ned is perfectly fine, and I mostly found him adorable in this game, but my true heart lies in Nancy/Frank territory. Blame the super mystery books, guys. Thing is, though, I never really expected them to throw anything like this at us in the games. It just never even occurred to me.

BUT THEN. All the relationship drama happened. And then Nancy and Frank were mutually reflecting on how much relationships suck and how they are both much more comfortable working cases and being dorks together and ahhhhhhhhhh.

And then when Nancy calls Frank to let him know she's gotten back together with Ned, he's totally forcing enthusiasm. And then he says, "It's... good to see you two back together," and his voice totally breaks and I am just flailing around miserably because CURSE YOU, HER INTERACTIVE, CURSE YOU FOR GIVING ME EVEN THE SUBTLEST OF NANCY/FRANK TENSION IN THIS GAME. There is no going back for me now.

I ship them a lot, okay. THEY ARE OTP.

(That being said, I am super pumped for the next game and Nancy/Ned/Bess/George shenanigans.)
