I know some people like to go on this whole shtick where they don't wanna listen to The Friday Prophets anymore after they got DPC to take their songs off the game but apparently they're back to making music after a long hiatus. They put out a new song a couple of weeks ago.

Oof. That's karma coming back at them. Don't let others play your good music, doomed to make shitty music forever more.

Yo, just a little Zoey appreciation. View attachment 3577303

I think Zoey is amazing and makes the story better no matter if you chose her for a Zoey playthrough or just as a friend (or for a potential drama pt of course).

I really enjoyed DPCs setup about her too, giving us tremolo's (still emotionally hurt) perspective about Zoey and their relationship and a lot of wrong assumptions (she posted a topless pic, she has a new bf).

Intentionally giving the player a similar feeling about her like the mc had at this point, we werent meant to like her. And instead maybe feeling a bit betrayed, hurt, pushed away, desinterrested or whatever.

Than everything gets reverted when we see the EP9 Interlude and hear the bench conversation between Tremolo and Zoey.

We learn very soon in the AVN that our Tremolo tends to be over-emotional and at times even a bit of a drama queen, the most oustanding examples of this are his reaction to the Josy/Maya reveal and his rebound talk with Sage.

Its the one (and maybe only) flaw of our Protagonist and imo its a good one, its based on his background and his past. It makes him endearing too, he just have to find the right balance which comes naturally with more life experience.

Because Zoey wasnt only his Ex or a friend .. Zoey was apparently his one and only firend and is the biggest incluence on tremolo's life and character developtment, only second to Neil ever.

Tremolo as a loner who got bullied, without friends or much social interaction. And then comes Zoey.

It becomes apparent in the interlude and their talk on the bench how much of a turning point their friendship for tremolo's life was.

She teached him literally to live like a normal teenager, to meet people, to drink and in the end to make out and fuck. She made him a man in more than one sense and slowly but steadily gave him the confidence and experiences to become the protagonist we start the story with.

I loved how she teased him "I swear you could rule the world with this thing if you just grew some bigger balls to go with it" and teaches him all the stuff (positions, taking charge, dirty talk, giving insturctions) girls enjoy during sex.

She literally squeezed any ounce of insecurity out of his mind and body and gave him the unconditional support he needed so badly, lacking friends, a social life and even the love of a mother or grandparents in his life so far.

I think you have to really understand that, how big of a change in tremolo's life Zoey was. She literally turned it upside down. She turned a awkward loner into a confident and endearing guy, being the center of his life.

And you have to give Zoey credits for this even if you dont like her as a LI, nobody shaped Tremolo as much as her other than Neil, theres not even anyone in the three leagues below here and than comes maybe Sage.

And she didnt befriended the charming and confident start of the AVN tremolo who's everybodys darling anways, she befriended the akward loner dude without friends and did fall in love with him.



And than Zoey's grandma died and both of their worlds and young lifes did fell apart. Im convinced Zoey was and is in a depressed state only slowly recovering where we are now in the story. Supressing any kind of feelings and emotions as good as possible.

She just needed to get away and tremolo didnt want/wasnt able yet to tag along. And she left anyway.

Its imo understandable from her perspective and due to her suffering and tbf tremolo didnt really tried to do much about it.

But it broke tremolo. Being alone again.

Her one really bad move was to more or less ghost tremolo due to misguided empathy based on wrong judgement and allegedly similar expierences of her new firends. Who are a supporting bunch and its a simple misunderstanding.

Its still wrong to treat a friend like that even tho she thought she would do tremolo a favor and tbf she did, it was better for tremolo's state of mind to cut contact with her.

Their fake-messages and him obsessing over their chats only did hurt him. But it was still shitty. But at least i have very old friends which i had no contact with for 8 months or longer times and still value our friendship highly, esp childhood friends.



Fast forward Zoey is on her way back, still trying to supress her feelings but struggling. She's still deluding herself, calling it "home sickness" but the only thing she sees thinking about this word is her drawing of tremolo's face.

And when she cant contact him she walks straight up to his dad, no matter how awkward it may be to reach her goal.

At their talk on the bench and at the EP9 party it becomes appartent for her how he changed even more into the man she always envisioned him to become. The man she already saw when she saw the awkward teenage loner.

Confident, competent, charismatic and a born leader. Surrounded by friend and people who appreciate him.

She yearns for any drop of attention he grants her and at the same time is proud of him.



And than the EP10 Campfire just fried her brain.

Tremolo always gave her shit about shutting him down when he wanted to talk about emotions. And being aware that there are things left unsaid she approaches him about it.

And their following talk is just such a mind-blowing showcase of tremolo's development to her since they said farewell to each other it completly blows away all the defense mechanisms, all the emotional walls and barriers, the self-deluding and pretending.

It all just got swept away by a tornado of overwhelming emotions breaking through her shell.

Mind you the same guy who sat at the trainstation, looking at the ground and pouting not able to say a single normal word or do anything about her leaving ..

.. now sits next to her and tells her casually (more or less):

"Im mostly pissed about myself and that i didnt even tried to stop you. That i didnt told you that youre the only good thing i have in my life apart from my dad. That i dont want to be alone and that i thought you are my future."

Yeah. How is a girl supposed to take that? He told her that he would have married her if she had stayed but he didnt told it to her back than.

At this point Zoey was done and so is my post.


Sorry this became way too long



TLDR: Zoey is aweseome and great to potray mc's character development and growth even a just a friend. Her route will be awesome too tho!

This is a great post explaining their relationship. Two teenagers, searching for themselves and having made many mistakes due to their immaturity earlier, received a possible second chance. One is a shy boy who was afraid to admit his feelings, the second one doesn't understand what Tremolo really means to her, how important he is to her.
But she didn’t improve on one thing in him, MC still often behaves like a retarded snowflake, so why abandon her after her confession near the campfire? He dumped a damn mountain on Zoey, then turned on the snowflake again: “Sorry, this is too much for me, I don’t want to spoil the party.” And left. Leaving her to digest it herself. And then things get even worse for Zoey when she sees MC in the company of another girl. He is annoying sometimes. Zoey don't finish her job, making him a normal person.

He was a " normal person " , before, miss " My Stepfather was right all along " come back to his life, and started talking nonsense, like : " Can we pretend to go back in time and you say what you not said back than , so i can make you feel like emotinal shit, and unstable, now that you moved on with your life and happier without me "

I hope Zoey plays nice and not act like Leah or something. Even Dik Zoey is a good girl right now hope it stays that way.

yeah completly agree.

Either tell her it’s a bad moment to talk about it or that there’s no need to talk about it anymore.

OR talk about it and finish the damn thing with either a confession right away and kiss the damn girl or make it clear that you want to stay platonic friends.

All of this would have been valid, he kinda did choose the worst case variation possible dropping all of that on her and than fucking off without even giving her a chance to even think a second about it :WeSmart: What are you doing bro :KEK::FacePalm:
