the way anya's and polle's text colors are the same fucks me up so much.
"why are you still so concerned with **him**?" hits soooo much harder when jimmy is talking about regretting what he did to _curly, _ but not anya

[fella]

i didn’t use to understand why people said “sorry you had to draw jimmy” but now having done it i Get it now. i hate looking at him. i hated making him move JDJSJSJSJSJS

Using Anya’s words to try to redeem himself when he feels no guilt over what he did to *her* is crazy work on Jimbo’s part

[AceofheartsDee]

While it's true that Polle has the same text color as Anya as others pointed out. But didn't Jimmy, during his psych evaluation, make fun of her by saying he was sexually attracted to cartoon horses. Ironic that Anya, the woman he sexually assaulted, would return to him in a hallucination of a cartoon horse.

1:03 polle was NOT about to let Jimmy misuse his metaphorical mother’s words like that

[VideoGamePlayer-ulix]

Took me a while to realise this, but during the 'TAKE RESPONSABILTY' parts of the game, Anya never actually makes an appearence. Swansea is seen as a madman with an axe. Daiskae's death is mention serveal times, and Curly's there just as, but Anya, and everything related to her, doesn't even make an appearence. Even at the part when you pass through the nametag tunnel, Anya's isn't there.

Then it hit me, Anya is there, not as Anya, but as the godamn horse mascot. The way Jimmy talks to them, their text color, the references of a baby and the fetus monster itself. They're all Anya. The way Jimmy sees her.

[whatteamwildcats]

I adore the fact that Canonically, Polle's text boxes are the same color as Anya's.

Tbh i think he doesnt acknowledge guilt for what he did to Anya because he doesnt feel guilty, because he doesnt see her as human.

And i think he's a little scared of her. He manages by intimidation because he knows he's only powerful so long as Anya cant tell anyone what he did to her. Because shes the one who holds all the cards for his future, and he cant stand the fact that he basically handed it to her. That shes always in the position to look down on him, and easily tell people about how much of a worm he really is.

Thats why i think he doesnt acknowledge Anya.

[Anonymouslol-jp]

The fact that he found himself “excited” by cartoon horses AND Polle’s scene was a stand-in for Anya is absolutely insane

[Cinnimin]

what gets me about this scene is that Polle stops him when he tries to say "Our worst moments don't make us monsters" because that's the line that Anya said

[ahchoo]

Polle is jim's child incarnate, jim was talking to his unborn child

The reason why Polle asks, "if all of that is true... why are you still so concerned with him?" Is because Jimmy says that he is sorry about everything; however, jim is only apologizing to Curly. When in actuality, jim should be apologizing to everyone for everything that he has done. So Polle calls him out on that, saying that's bs if you are still fixated on Curly.

[marbleanimations]

I love how originally, Anya was lacking a voice for herself, but now she is the only one with audible voice lines

[rulamantic]

I hate how this is making me realize this horse is my favorite character in the whole game.

[ilovev]

realize how polle's text color is like anya's. Polle in this scene is symbolisng anya, but jimmy denies her so much that she doesn't even appear in his ''hallucination''. she doesn't even exist for him. he never says sorry to anya, because he treats her like an object

[MrConredsX]

Worst part of Jimmy is that he is so realistic. Fictional villains are sociopaths like Kira or Frieza who have no remorse and are just evil. Real life villains are those pathethic losers who think they are just victims of circumstances while they drag everyone behind them and then delude themselves that they are redeemed once they do a single good deed like saving a half dead friend in a cryopod. His feelings of delusion and actual care for Curly is what make him human, because no human see himself as a villain.

[KTL-]

It's absolutely fucking crazy that he tries to quote Anya here and STILL does not see what the fuck he's actually failing to take responsibility for. The only person he gives a shit about is Curly, and the only reason he feels that way is because he sees Curly as just a version of himself, the version of himself he wishes he was. He's jealous of Curly because Curly isn't a *complete* piece of shit like he is but he's not remotely self-aware enough to actually admit to himself what he's done wrong.

I realized that Polle symbolizes jimmy's child.
When Polle calls him old man, it's not to tease him.
Polle says it because "old man" is literally something you would call a father.
This also explains the baby and horse crying when Polle chases Jimmy around the ship in the beginning.

[thepixelcatremmy]

Taking “responsibility” at the last possible second when you’re out of options, really isn’t being responsible. It’s being desperate.

[halfoftheclam]

It hit me like a truck when I realized that Polle considers calling Jimmy “Old Man” because he is a manifestation of Jimmy’s unborn child.

That’s why he said “If all that you said is true, why are you so concerned with him (Curly)?” Jimmy’s trying to take responsibility for the wrong issue! He should be thinking about his victim not his enabler!

God this game is good.

[countocatula]

Dude, Curly's expression at the end is just so TERRIFIED, like "Jimmy, Jimmy don't, don't you fuckin do this, Jimmy"

[Rtty_bi]

I just kinda really realized that Polle is the only one with a voice in the entire game….
