the point is exactly that
if Mc stays over to "sleep" at Josy's, it makes sense for the parents to punish her, but they do it anyway, even if MC leaves right after dinner, which doesn't make much sense, but Josy MUST be punished, otherwise she would have the phone
Yes, you are correct that Josy is punished even if she isn't caught in bed with the MC. But there are two things to consider here. First, she did still invite someone into the house (and serve him alcohol) without her parent's permission. Second, we know her "dad got to hear an earful about Monica" (which happens in both scenarios).
Given Josy's contentious relationship with her stepmom, I don't think grounding her and confiscating her phone for a couple days is an implausible outcome.
I probably didn't explain myself well...
I mentioned "murder on the orient express," as an example of a very neat plot, like the mechanism of a clock. BADIk is not and does not want to be, and I do not need to see how it will continue, because it is clear that this is not its goal.
the themes it deals with (homosexuality, difficult families) have nothing to do with what i have said
you are the one who gives a strange and negative meaning to the term soap opera, in them everything happens, people die, get sick, change sex, and everything revolves around the sentimental events, which are the pivot of the plot
I'm not sure how you can say that when BaDIK isn't finished yet and there ARE a lot of "clockwork" events at play in BaDIK.
Hell, as much as I dislike the Jill blackmail subplot,
structurally it was fairly well set up in the story. Jill sees the MC getting into lots of trouble and doing several stupid things, and knows he has no money or safety net. Tybalt's wealth, pettiness, and animosity to the MC are clearly established. The game even makes a big point about how reckless the MC has been during Hell Week. It makes sense that Jill would agree to humor Tybalt in exchange for him going easy on the MC after he and Derek wreck the mansion.
The glaring flaw isn't that this event came out of nowhere, it's that in the next episode Jill seems surprised by the terms she agreed to and suddenly needs Bella's help. (Well, that and the fact that watching Tybalt bore Jill to tears isn't
interesting, but that's what I classified as subjective.) I think the idea was that Jill expected Tybalt to be less persistent and realizes she needs reinforcements, but DPC overplayed the scene, IMHO.
I've been a Quinn fan since day 1. I think you misunderstood what I said. I don't want Quinn to change how she is to everyone else... I could give a fuck if she slaps Riona's whole head off...or forces Maya to leave college...or continues her prostitution ring and selling drugs. I don't care about any of that shit. What I want to happen with her is those walls shes got built up to come down for MC and MC alone. That's it. When I said the softening of her eyes verses how she is in other interactions, note that she was LOOKING AT MC during that scene. That's the shit I dig. I don't care about her interactions with anyone else.
I'd say my feelings on Quinn are well known at this point, so I won't rehash them here.
What I will say is that while I largely agree with your goal, I think you're still getting ahead of where Quinn is. I don't think she's softened to the MC all that much. If she is she could somehow solve her money problems in Episode 8 at the expense of the MC, I think she would do it with minimal hesitation and acceptable levels of regret. And like with Tommy, she would bitterly defend her decision if the MC called her out on it.
To me, that's what Quinn's "redemption" arc will likely be about when we finally get there. She won't become a "good" person. She'll just be willing to let someone like the MC into her life as more than a toy. In short, she'll still be an abrasive jerk who likes to fuck with people, but she'll not longer be a toxic, abrasive jerk who likes to fuck with people.
But that's not going to happen until she hits rock bottom. I don't think she's there yet; I'm not even sure she's all that close. And it would not surprise me if she winds up betraying the MC at least once along the way. So my advice for Quinn fans is to plan for the long haul.
I’ve been in the hospital for two weeks unable to check the thread. Can anybody tell me if beta testing has started? Also any images I’ve missed. Please/Thank You
Yes, beta testing began last week. We're speculating a release somewhere in the 19-26 range if things go well, but that's just a guess. All we know for sure is that DPC *hopes* to release the episode in November but doesn't think that's guaranteed.
