archiveofourown.org/users/Valphrex… If you'd like to check out my fanfics, here is a link to my AO3 profile.

@CaesumTRLE Interesting they used Mark Willard later on in Tomb Raider 3.

Did you know that originally Tomb Raider 1 didn't feature Natla or Scion? In 1994 Lara was to be hired by Willard Stirling to recover an artifact called the Cucurbite. Little did she know that Willard was actually a Nephilim who wanted to use the artifact to go back to his world.

Look at this edgelord. Imagine saying this out loud where the internet can see you. Idiot.

@thewxrldprince I didn't pre-order in the first place.

so Tomb Raider oomfs how are we feeling today? pre-orders still cancelled? 👀

@abondanceking @Mangalawyer I miss this era. You are 100% correct.

@Mangalawyer My mum was obsessed with Lara Croft and Chyna from WWE in the 90s like I still got pictures of her with dem t-shirts and one of her Halloween costume was Lara. Society was more playfull toward sexuality back then. Nowdays it's like you can't be féminine sexy and kick ass

This is what peak marketing looked like, and we’ll make sure the so-called modern audience pretending to be Tomb Raider fans never forgets about where this franchise came from LMAO

@BoyTombRaider 12. I would talk Sophia Leigh's ear off. Love her. <3 Only wish I could have Mark Willard instead of Amanda.

You’re on a 14 hour flight, which Tomb Raider character are you guys sitting next to? ✈️

@bluthundyr @updownsu1te Tomb Raider hasn't even been EXISTING for over 20 years.

@updownsu1te Nah she’s still growing strong for everyone else. Only classic stans are mad. So go play your remasters. TR is moving on.

lara croft has died in 2003 and has been replaced by a clone/imposter ever since

@updownsu1te It is so unfortunate that this is true.

@Lezzy4Lara Definitely not the best side character in all of Tomb Raider. But not a bad character. But IMO, she is hardly memorable.

You can hate her but you can’t name 1 thing she’s done wrong… oh Samantha Nishimura you will always be the best side character in Tomb Raider

@CaesumTRLE At the very LEAST get rid of Crystal Dynamics. I don't care WHO takes Tomb Raider at this point. ANYONE would do it better. Even if it was WORSE, I'd just be happy it isn't with Crystal Dynamics. I genuinely just want this one thing and I've wanted it since Legend.

You know after the newest reveal I think maybe this girl has a point.

@CoreDesign_com This is always how Crystal Dynamics have been. Throw them all out and get a new company.

Wheels on a shopping cart be like:

@grovesketched They hate women, we already know THAT by how they treat Lara and erase all of her hard work, personality, looks, and effort.

They try so hard to be naughty dog which is so ironic because Amy Hennig worked at CD before and they wouldn’t let her write for tomb raider so she left and co-created uncharted.

@CaesumTRLE I've always said that Crystal Dynamics go for poorly written fanfiction. They can't even get the lore right.

I should have known better than to believe Crystal Dynamics that they actually care about Lara Croft and her legacy. Once again Lara is the least important element in her own game, overshadowed but yet another cheesy family drama. Play for sport? Forget it, it's dead.

@thatsnotvgucci @infinityTRaider Been saying this since Legend. It's our fault for allowing Crystal to get this far.

@infinityTRaider Some assassins creed bullshit. Crystal is killing this fucking franchise. I need someone to shut them down and sell the IP to someone who actually cares about Lara’s agency to be a raider because it’s simply what she wants

The #CroftManorArchives teaser has come to an end. Lord Thomas Edward Croft's letter has been published! It reveals that he was one of the founders of the Society of Raiders, which is finally being unveiled. The "SoR" will cross paths with Lara in the unified timeline.

@ligiainchains @prostation98 I'll check them out. I am a proud classic purist and I wear that with pride. The fact that a Crystal fan wouldn't consider me one of them makes me feel accomplished. I wouldn't want to be associated with "those" types of people.

@Valphrex @prostation98 just go through their page they shit on classic lara with every opportunity and have the audacity to talk about "classic purists" (that person sees LAU and classic as one LMAO) where they want to erase everything that came before survivor💀

fucking loser, classic Lara's backstory and personality were way more interesting than the survivor slop they have been feeding us since 2013 and now with that society of raiders BULLSHIT, great way of outing yourself as a tourist tho❤️

Yes. I genuinely find her to be quite unattractive, yes. She's not ugly. But she is definitely not what I would consider to have a 'lethal' face card. She looks soft and doe-eyed and boring. Forgettable and average. Odd looking lines on her face at times and weird cheek bones. Unremarkable.

e os puristas clássicos tem a coragem de falar que esse rostinho perfeito é feio

@ligiainchains @prostation98 That fact that he is a Crystal Dynamics fan tells me that his bar is already low. Those kinds of people are beneath you and me.

@Valphrex @prostation98 they love this ai slop 😍

This is our fault. We have allowed Crystal Dynamics to have control over Tomb Raider for 20 years too long. We should have learned with Legend, but because everyone was so keen on "giving them a chance", we got that absolute abomination that is Anniversary. And they just kept going and going, and because we didn't draw a line, put our foots down and kisses their asses, we kept giving them our money and now they think they can just do what they want and get away with it. This isn't going to stop until we stop giving them our attention and money. We need to boycott them and stop pretending like anything half-assed they throw out at us is somehow "canon Tomb Raider". Nothing about their poorly written fanfiction is Tomb Raider, they can't even get the lore correct. They don't know who Lara is, what she looks like, what motivates her, or what she stands for. All they care about is their fan characters, her family members, and shoving them down our throats. This is our fault. Crystal Dynamics have been many slimy, disgusting things, but they were honest about one thing. They openly admitted to hating the original, classic, true Lara Croft, and they have openly disrespected Core Design multiple times. If it weren't for Core Design and THEIR creations, Crystal Dynamics wouldn't be where they are. They will NEVER stand where Core Design stood, and it is so tacky and pathetic that they think their little fanfiction Lara is better than Lara Croft. Pathetic, gross, vile, and useless company. @CrystalDynamics I sincerely hope you read this. You people disgust me. I am not the only one who feels this way. I have never liked you and I never will. I don't care WHAT do you. They can NEVER make me like you scumbags, and I will break out the wine when you losers inevitably lose the IP to Tomb Raider.

I'll even admit, I have used AI myself because I struggle with words and organization, but I've never used it to create for me or replace my brain or my mind. But I guarantee Crystal Dynamics are using AI so that they don't have to pay artists to make concept art. That's the kind of company they seem to be.

@Valphrex @prostation98 it's the same ai slop loving account that was shitting on Alix because she mentioned no Lara's left behind

@prostation98 @ligiainchains Lmao Yeah, you keep trolling.

@ligiainchains Survivor lara is superior

@ligiainchains I mean, the loser actually likes Crystal Dynamics. That already says all we need to know about him.
