VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Holy Bacchus]

I believe that nothing can become of MC Bella or Jill, that there is a familial bond.

You were doing so well with those posts about Maya, but then you had to go and say this.

SPOILER ALERT: That's not going to happen.

In "Free Roam 19" where MC made pancakes at Jill and Bella's house, I came across a door before that where MC was knocked out with a "RED BOOK". The scene was over pretty fast. But I think it was his mother's diary. And if so, there is a possibility for a family connection.

He doesn't get knocked out. I honestly don't know where you got that idea from.

I can't remember where I read it. But Bella or Jill lost a sister in a car accident.

That's never been said by anyone. All we know is Jill's sister is dead, that's it.

Is this just a wallpaper on a Patreon or some sort of in game closing image?

Neither. It's fan-art created by a very talented guy called Coriolan. I did say that in the post you quoted.

I am going to be honest, I have avoided this thread for a long time. I loved the game ever since I found it but I'm not alone there. But I am here today because I have what I believe to be an unpopular opinion but I want to see if I am alone. Like many, I fell for Maya hard, how could you not. But that being said, I get MCs attraction to Josy but I don't share it. Nothing wrong with her just she was not for me. I bring this up because the first time I played through episode 4 and was presented with the choice that leads to the poly relationship, I took it just to keep Maya. But in the days after I made that decision, I found myself questioning it. So I replayed it again and I have to tell you, it broke my heart. What is "it"? That would be my realization that both girls are in love and perfect for each other. Sure we can be part of their dynamic but in the end, the right decision was to let two people who have cared for each other for a long time be together.

That being said, I am still choosing the poly relationship until the game is done. When there is an absolute ending, I want them to end up together more than pretty much anything else in this story.

So, does anyone else see what I see? Or am I just crazy?

I know precisely how you feel; I like Maya & Josy as a couple, and I have no desire to break them up. If it came down to it, my main MC would probably back out and let them be together (assuming that's an option).

That said, I feel like the characters themselves are in the same situation: they each have strong feelings for the other two, and don't quite know how to handle that. Under those circumstances I'm willing to take a chance on the throuple path because, while it might easily end in disaster, it feels like asking the girls to go back to their old relationship is even more perilous. They were in an extremely rough patch even before the MC got involved, after all, and it's not like the MC would be out of their lives. Especially in light of what Josy says on her friendship path in Episode 5, it seems like the lingering feelings could be even more dangerous when the trio try to deny them.

So I think the way the trio is trying to take it slow and work out what they're doing step by step is very suitable (though I'd have preferred to attach a couple of strings). Hopefully it won't just be an excuse for DPC to fuck with us.

I know we're going round the bend on this one, but after everything I've said, how do you stil think that, in this scenario, it would have anything to do with Jill going against Tybalt's wishes?

Again, Jill would not, in any way, be breaching the terms of Tybalt's blackmail if Bella is the one to invite the MC. Tybalt can and likely would kick up a fuss about it and Jill could say something about it and side with Tybalt because of what he wants her to do, but she likely wouldn't since she's not confrontational, and knowing that, she's probably more likely to say nothing. It then becomes a dispute between Bella and Tybalt where Bella says she'll leave if the MC can't stay and Jill would get upset at Bella leaving not the MC leaving. Tybalt needs Bella to win over Jill and he doesn't want to alienate Bella or be seen to be doing so in Jill's eyes, so he would be forced to allow the MC to stay solely for his own purposes of winning over Jill.

This is not him having his bluff called, but simply a small capitulation that keeps Jill happy by keeping Bella happy in order to further his own goals. There's no reason for him to follow through on his threat because Jill didn't go against his wishes. She might worry about him being there, but him being there wouldn't be her doing so it's really got nothing to do with her in that sense. It's Tybalt who would be in the more difficult situation because letting the MC stay to keep Bella happy which would keep Jill is his only good option. The only other options he really has are:

1. Trying to force Jill to leave but Bella would likely step in to stop her and this, once again, would not be good for Tybalt because he needs to get Bella on his side and angering her like this would not be good
2. He goes off in a huff and allows the MC to win yet another round and essentially forfeits time spent with Jill which doesn't further his goal.

Therefore, Tybalt has to stay and he has to allow the MC to stay in order to keep all parties happy, but Jill is not at fault here and he has no reason to blame her and follow through on his threat.

It just seems like you're assuming Tybalt will never take drastic action. His blackmail isn't a legal contract Jill can dispute to a judge, it's a case of keeping Tybalt happy or he drops the hammer on her beloved MC. From Jill's perspective, every time she does something with the MC she's playing with fire. Sometimes it might be unavoidable, but the rest oft he time she should be trying like hell to avoid it. What if he doesn't care about upsetting Bella?

Because, and I cannot emphasize this enough, if Jill isn't worried about placating Tybalt, this blackmail plotline is a waste of time that serves only to make Jill look like a doormat. If Jill had been willing to push the envelope with Tybalt, she should have asked the MC for his side of the story before she tried to cut him out of her life. She didn't do that. She bought Tybalt's threat hook, line and sinker.

Jill is capable of action on her own, after all. I find the notion that she always goes with path of least resistance incompatible with the way she has been presented, particularly in Episode 3. If she is truly intent on placating Tybalt, she isn't going to worry about who's technically instigating the contact or the exact wording of Tybalt's demand. She's going to worry about keeping the MC away from Tybalt. Jill is perfectly capable of telling Bella that keeping Tybalt and the MC in close proximity is a bad idea so it would be best if Bella and the MC left. What is Bella going to do then?

What you are asking for is business as usual: another chance to teabag Tybalt safe in the knowledge that there will never be any consequences to the MC's triumph. But we can't keep seeing that when Jill is actively afraid of what Tybalt could do to the MC. For better or worse, Episode 6 did something different with Tybalt. We need to see that reflected in the way the MC interacts with him, or it's just going to open up a bigger can of worms down the road.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

What if he doesn't care about upsetting Bella?

He would if doing so affects Jill. He definitely knows how close they are and we've seen in Ep 6 and even on Rooster how nice he tries to be with her because he knows/believes that being on good terms with Bella helps him with Jill. Fighting with Jill's best friend is therefore not good for him because it's one of those cases where he needs the best friend's approval and so he can't afford to alienate her.

Jill is perfectly capable of telling Bella that keeping Tybalt and the MC in close proximity is a bad idea so it would be best if Bella and the MC left. What is Bella going to do then?

She could tell Bella, but Bella will most likely press her for more details and if Jill tells her what Tybalt has asked of her, there's no way Bella doesn't fly off the handle. This is why I think that, in this "tennis doubles" scenario, Jill can't really speak up because she won't want Bella to find out about Tybalt's terms. Again, this is something I've seen countless times in fiction where a character is being forced/coerced to avoid someone in a way that is sudden and suspicious, and they don't tell the person they're avoiding or their friends why they're doing it, but they eventually find out.

Then maybe my translator didn't get it right in the game

With Free Roam 19 I must correct. Probably played too long. he has untertendrunter looked through. Sorry my mistake.

I don't know anything about getting knocked out, pretty sure that doesn't happen.

But the door is just a door, Pinkcakes only put it in the game for people to talk about it.

Who knows when we heading back to Bella house. Maybe never.

it will probably have a simple and banal mystery behind it, but I don't think it's "just a door"

Is this only me or Tybalt watermelon fetish is only cover up for him being into chubby girls. This big girl from feminism class would be a perfect match for him.
This lockdown is really messing with my head.

I don't want to veer off topic too much, but check out Das Boot. It's not a documentary, but it's the best WW2 film about Kriegsmarine. The pic was of the late Klaus Wennemann (R.I.P. ) in the movie as Oberleutnant, chief engineer.

And now, back to Being a DIK!

Good movie

God NO!That would be MC's nightmare.

 

[MrFalcon71]

I personally could not imagine Jill and MC as a couple. Jill is nice, intelligent, creative and also has her physical charms.
But if they were together longer, at some point the physical closeness of Jill would fall away. She seems to me (my feeling) a bit frigde.
I think that Jill and Rusty would be a great couple.

For YOUR feeling it is acceptable but don't forget the word "your" because it is a dream for Jill fans including me.

My prediction is if the MC doesn't get with Jill then she will end up with Rusty. He is completely changed from the person he was when he first arrived at B&R and dated Jill. I think they would make a good couple now if MC doesn't choose Jill. At the very least, Rusty is a much better choice than Tybalt.

Somehow all DIK have changed. Only Tommy is having a bit of a hard time.

SPOILER
That's why towards the end of EP6 I thought long and hard whether to leave with him or not. I made a on Chick.

 

[dalli_x]

Let's face it. The music is awesome.
DPC really put some thought into it.

 

[AchedCroissant]

Same energy

Plot twist Isabella and Camila are mother and daughter, no but I really think that if they had been mother and daughter from the beginning it would have been hot, just imagine a mother and daughter threesome

Well Camila have the ass of her "Mother"

If I absolutely have to say something nice about Tommy, I'll say at least he was trying not to be so much of an asshole (after the fight). Sometimes a good ass-kicking can be the cause of a serious attitude adjustment.
