My thoughts on the Forsaken update

Instructions

Okay big evil rant ahead. Also this is MY OPINION. Keep in mind that people are allowed to have their own opinions D:< Okay, overall, it's not the worst. First, there's the 'Guest rework'. It's less a rework, more a massive buff. People are saying Guest sucks now but he's just as good. His health got reduced from 115 to 110 (but you gain overhealth from landing a block so whatever), his charge no longer gives helpless or slowness to the killer (thank god) but I think the knockback is a bit bigger? Guest is also able to punch without landing a block beforehand, but it doesn't stun. Punch only stuns if you land a parry. I feel like this change is leaning more towards how Jane works, since her hatchet works without resonance but it doesn't stun and just applies slowness and helpless. I like this change, since I like how Jane works (I'll never use Guest so this doesn't really matter for me but whatever). Guest can also no longer block moves like Walkspeed Override and Demonic Pursuit, but blocking against those still give a 40% damage reduction, which I think is a great change. You only had a chance to use either of those moves on a Guest if you knew their block was on cooldown, and if you knew that they had block then that move was rendered practically useless since an experienced Guest can just block it and get a free stun, but now I don't have to be as cautious using Sixer. The main thing that Guests can get stuns out of are M1's, which requires a bit more skill to play Guest since some M1's are pretty hard to block (however John Doe is still victim to easy blocks so uh... so much for being a level 138 JD). Overall, I think the Guest rework was needed and is quite good. It still probably won't save us from gen guests, but whatever. That's something we can never escape. Next, the LMS themes. I'm talking about the SCP one first because I'M SAVING YOU AND I FOR LAST, AND FOR A GOOD REASON. I have been waiting AGES for an SCP lms. I've been waiting ever since I found out there were SCP skins, actually! (I joined in the slasher update so I'M NOT A VETERAN). And, holy hell, this LMS did not disappoint. It was made by the same person who made Undying Faith, so OF COURSE IT'S GONNA BE GOOD. I FREAKING LOVE THIS LMS. I love SCP content, which is probably why The Possessed is my favourite Noli skin, and is also probably why Deference To Death is my second favourite chase theme! The LMS is in the project, if you click the green flag enough times it should play eventually (because it's set to pick random 1-2). What's the other song in the project, you may ask? You And I. The new one. And boy do I have stuff to say about it! Okay, it's not all that bad. It's amazing, and I love it. It's just a little weird. I'm assuming it feels weird because the LMS first released without lyrics, and then they just suddenly gave it lyrics. I had already gotten used to You And I, but now I have to get used to it all over again. ONCE AGAIN, I'M NOT SAYING IT'S BAD. IT'S GREAT. Also my opinion on this will probably change later, but currently I just feel like it sounds more like something you'd hear in a play or a musical rather than a desperate plead. Also, it kinda mixes with some of my headcanons. OKAY BIG EXPLANATION HERE: I headcanon that John cannot speak because of the corruption, which is why he doesn't have any proper voicelines in-game and it's just him growling and roaring, but uh... as you can hear, John sings in this... so, uhhhh... I came up with a way to bypass it though so JOKES ON YOU SPECTRE, I WIN AGAIN HAHAHHAHAHA. My theory is either one of two things: Either John's part in this is his internal monologue; he doesn't have control over his body, and the corruption is attempting to take control of his mind too, BUT I believe it would still make sense for John to briefly have his own thoughts from time to time, since the corruption hasn't fully taken over him yet (in his MS4 though, that's when he wouldn't be able to have his own thoughts, cuz... y'know). OR I thought it could be him BEFORE the Forsaken. I think that the corruption took place over a long amount of time, going from where he was corrupted but didn't know it, to having symptoms, then the corruption starting to show on his body, etc, etc (which eventually results in MS1, MS2, and so on). I think that around going into MS1, he was still able to speak, though his voice was probably quite distorted and messed up. So yeah, I think it could either be his thoughts or him prior to the peak of the corruption/the Forsaken. But, hey, at least we have canon voices now? Idk those are just my thoughts, I needed to rant.
