comment |
don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story [sic] is a 2011 Ren'Py-based Visual Novel by Christine Love, creator of Digital: A Love Story and Analogue: A Hate Story.Set in the year 2027, the protagonist is a middle-aged guy called John Rook who, in the midst of a nasty mid-life crisis, switches careers and becomes a high school English Literature teacher. His new school has a zero-tolerance policy on bullying, and to help facilitate this, Rook is (discreetly) given complete and total access to the school's social networking service, including all of the private messages of his students.Can Rook sort out his own personal problems, learn to be a good teacher to his students, and keep the lid on his voyeurism? |

Wrong Genre Savvy |
| don't take it personally babe, it just ain't your story (Visual Novel) / int_20a14df0 |
comment |
Trying to live out her romantic story, Arianna is convinced that Rook's rejection must be nothing other than chivalrous care for her, rather than concern for his career, or lack of interest; his apologies in the rain, saying she could do better than chase a much older man, is insecurity about being good enough for her, instead of trying to let her down gently. Not to mention her entitlement to have him run to comfort her whenever she has private problems, be it surprising him in his flat when he is busy, or using his (also coerced) hug to kiss him. |

Later, the principal tells you point-blank to not care about Isabella's suicide, as her parents weren't paying tuition. |

Metafiction: Both the books on the curriculum and the anime 12channel foreshadow important events. And just to make things double-meta, Rooks even discusses metafiction in one of his classes. Self-parodied in Akira and Kendall's presentation, which is a very, very awkward and (purposefully) unfunny shadow play in the form of a 12channel thread. |

comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The literature discussions and 12channel threads relate to the story. For bonus points, one of the first discussions is about the use of Show Within a Show in the Book Within A Show. Subverted in the case of Isabella, where the discussion of Battle Royale sets a very misleading tone. |

Umbrella of Togetherness: Arianna's first attempt to get with Rook revolves around her knowing that Rook didn't bring his umbrella, having not expected rainy weather, and insisting that Rook come with her (and her umbrella) by deliberately involving this trope. You can either go with it, or walk home in the rain. |

Book Dumb |

comment |
Book Dumb: Most of the class is doing pretty badly in John's class, and it's probably not all due to his inexperience and the frequent distractions from his actual job. It doesn't matter anyway, because in the end the school imposes a ridiculously generous grading curve to maintain their reputation. The fact that the entire class pulled a large prank on him — making him think that Isabelle killed herself, up to and including getting someone to play a ghost and spam his inbox with creepy messages — didn't help things either. |

comment |
Wishful Projection: Arianna says "you are handsome, smart, kind," etc. to the man she's known for maybe two days. Though even "knowing" may be a strong word for hearing him introduce himself and seeing what he looks like. Even the terribly humiliating rejection was a reason for further idealization (he rejected me out of responsibility. What a gentleman!). This applies (to a lesser extent) to the rest of the class, who decide he is a Cool Teacher (and handsome, as well) who can give wise advice about their interpersonal issues. Rook is not happy about it. Isabella acknowledges this of her first romance and whenever she runs into her significant other time and time again. It makes her terribly sad. And dead. Or not. |

You can also avoid it entirely, though it requires deliberately being a jerk to her. If you continued down the path, Rook and Arianna have an actual relationship in the end. |

Idiot Ball |

comment |
Idiot Ball: Although clearly shaken by it, Rook never follows up on the disappearance – and apparent suicide – of one of his students with anything more than a single email, not even bothering to ask her other classmates about her condition in person. Rook also believes that he is trapped, and must admit to eavesdropping on Amie, even though he only stated that he had assumed that a disappeared student might have died, and that he had been stalked by someone claiming that he could have prevented her death, which even without Amie would have been a decent reason to assume that. Additionally, Rook gets a lecture for keeping the connection secret, despite having been explicitly instructed by his employer to do so, which, considering that he’s presumably in a temporary position, could almost certainly get him fired. If anything, he could have avoided the entire conversation at that point, because it’s not his choice whether to obey policy or not. It's also worth noting that if you follow the Arianna plot, she remarks that their relationship must be kept secret, only to later admit that she knew that John, and presumably the rest of the school staff, could read Amie on a whim. Either she's not as clever as she thinks, or she doesn't give a second thought to getting John fired. It's also worth remarking that Taylor can try to blackmail you with this as well, despite also knowing that Amie was essentially open to the school staff anyway. |

Shared Universe: With Christine Love's other game, Digital: A Love Story, which is set in the Lake City of 1988. Turns out it Never Was This Universe. In this universe, the internet evolved from an AI cloning itself, and A.I.s are a common sight. Digital even features a brief appearance by Eriko Yamazaki, Akira's grandmother and author of some of the books Mr. Rook assigns. (Confusingly, there's also a "J. Rook", despite how young that would make John; perhaps his father?) Someone posts about themes of bondage (in the 'restraining' sense, not the sexual sense, just to annoy a horny 12channel poster) and restraint in 16th-century Korea. Guess what the next game featured... Akira's mothers, Hazuki and Ichigo, are characters in Christine Love's 2007 kinetic novel, Cell Phone Love Letter. |

Image Boards: Rook is a lurker on 12channel, and several cast members are heavily implied to be participating there as well. Imageboard culture mostly hasn't changed over the course of 16 years, though there's far less cursing, trolling, and general misanthropy, and someone gets made fun of for using The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, though Rook is using a "stupidity filter." Also, Akira and Kendall act out a thread for their big project... |

comment |
Foreshadowing: The 12channel posts and the books Rook teaches always reflect what's going on with the students. Also shows up in the students' posts after they discuss Rook's reasons for changing their study of Romeo and Juliet to Twelfth Night. Specifically, they express surprise that he's taking Isabella's suicide so seriously. Well, hell, it's a suicide. Of course he's taking it seriously! But once you realize that Isabella's death was a hoax, their surprise becomes more understandable; it's them realizing that Rook truly has fallen for their prank. The "this is not going to have a happy ending" meta-conversation in Chapter Three as the class goes into Battle Royale, where someone kills herself. Except not, because she actually just moved away. During Kendall and Akira's performance, they mention the plot to Digital: A Love Story. They then spoil the plot of the game they're in: a girl faking her death actually just moves away. |

Continuity Nod: The girl in the Kimono that's been guilt tripping you as a joke? She's the daughter of the player character in Digital: A Love Story. Rook shares a name with J. Rook, the sysop for Lake City Local and a minor character in Digital: A Love Story. He was born during the same time frame, too, and has been involved with computers and admin stuff. Akira mentions a book written by his grandmother, Eriko Yamazaki, called 'Digital Shinigami.' In Digital: A Love Story, Yamazaki is a poster on the Gibson BBS, who mentions that she won't be posting much anymore - even mentioning a book she was in the process of writing - due to her daughter, Ichigo (or, Akira's mother) being born. Both of Akira's mothers previously appeared in Cell Phone Love Letter, a kinetic novel that told the story of how they got together. |

Emphasized more, when Rook talks about 'invading privacy' and similar... and his students have no idea what the word 'privacy' even means anymore. |

It's All About Me: Taylor. And when you chew her out over her treatment of Akira, it becomes clear that it's to an absolutely insane degree. Trying to live out her romantic story, Arianna is convinced that Rook's rejection must be nothing other than chivalrous care for her, rather than concern for his career, or lack of interest; his apologies in the rain, saying she could do better than chase a much older man, is insecurity about being good enough for her, instead of trying to let her down gently. Not to mention her entitlement to have him run to comfort her whenever she has private problems, be it surprising him in his flat when he is busy, or using his (also coerced) hug to kiss him. |

Shout-Out: Rook: "Nothing's really changed at all since then? 'Things aren't different; things are things.' Is that it?" Rook uses Battle Royale, Twelfth Night, and Hiroshi Ishizaki's Chain Mail: Addicted to You as part of the curriculum. "Now if only I could get you to go all the way with the Eliza Doolittle thing." The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Sailor Moon in 12channel. The way Arianna crosses her legs in a way meant to titillate in the first act seems to reference Basic Instinct. The sixth chapter is named Girls Over Flowers. |

When she confronts you over Taylor's bullying, she's incredibly brusque, straightforward, and furious, which carries onto when she calls Rook about something she just figured out, which flips out Rook, as it has to be about his spying. It isn't. |

Greek Chorus: AmieConnect. A rare example where all of the characters serve as the Greek Chorus for each other. 12channel. And while everyone's anonymous, it appears that some of the characters post on there as well. |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Akira, who talks in all lowercase letters, leet speak, chan slang, and all the stereotypical grammatical failings of a teenager, speaks in perfect English when he breaks up with Nolan. Everyone immediately wonders what the hell is going on. |

comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: In the end, no one cares about Rook's spying. This bizarre, obsolete concept called "privacy" is nonexistent in this generation of children, who grew up using Facebook (not known for being very private) and saying stupid shit on the internet. Akira's mom points out that it's not very different from kids passing around school notes, and that these kids are smart enough not to air really dirty laundry. Their sense of humor is similarly bizarre. |

Two-Teacher School: We get some evidence of there being other teachers and classes in the school, but Mr. Rook and his class are the only ones to have portraits or speaking lines. The most you get is Rook complaining about a teacher who, in his words, uses the office for doing absolutely nothing at all. |

comment |
After Isabella's suicide, Arianna's "talk" with Rook before class (if he turned her down previously) is the height of emotional manipulation. It's even worse in hindsight, when you realize that Isabella wasn't really dead, and Arianna was using Rook's guilt as a tool to instigate an illegal relationship. This applies even if he didn't turn her down. She surprises him in his flat and tries to guilt-trip him into sex. |

The rest of 12channel think it's just more creepy Chinese cartoon porn shit. |
