VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

Who exactly would have been hitting on her in the last two years? We've seen how ballistic Chad goes at the appearance of infidelity (while not caring a jot about Sage herself). We've also seen the jocks remember the MC because he was "making a move" on Sage. That strongly implies that random guys do not throw themselves at her very often, otherwise the MC wouldn't stand out.

This is further backed up by the way Jacob reacts if you make out with Sage at the party. Despite being in a private party, he will force the MC to knock it off and tell him it is a mistake in no uncertain terms. Even Tommy is impressed simply because the MC intends to bed Sage. There's no reason for that respect if guys are constantly propositioning her, not when the MC hasn't done anything with her yet.

Now you could say that was all because the MC was too public; hitting on Sage happens all the time, it's just done in secret. That could explain why the jocks don't normally notice it, and why Tommy was impressed. Fair enough. What it wouldn't explain, though, is Sage. Again:

She isn't saying guys don't hit on her, she's saying guys don't normally turn her down. Well, unless we believe she's had a long string of other fuck buddies before the MC, we know the last two guys she threw herself at - the MC and her own boyfriend! - turned her down. Repeatedly.

I don't think Sage had a string of affairs; her own actions (and those of the other HOTs) suggest the opposite. So how can she still see herself as irresistible? Beats me. She may have been popular in high school, true, but that just means she should recognize she's in a long dry spell now.

That's why I think this is just sloppy writing by DPC. He wants the drama that comes from Sage being in a relationship, but refuses to show such a relationship. Maybe he's worried about NTR, maybe he wants to keep Chad from seeming sympathetic, who knows. I just know the way Sage is presented does not match the events we have seen, and at no point have any of the characters in the story acknowledged that dichotomy.

What a long post to basically end up agreeing with me. A woman knows when she's desired, when guys look at her... I don't mean she has to reciprocate those feelings. I think she's a loyal person, despite being a cheater right now. I doubt she has done anything with anyone besides Chad. The point is, she's still hot and she knows it. The other point is she might have had a couple relationships before that. Maybe fooling around with one guy one day (doesn't even have to mean sex). It doesn't have to be many, it can be a couple. But if she knows guys are interested in her and every time (as many or as few at they might have been) she initiated something the guy reciprocated is enough for her to say that.

Maybe DPC does it that way to avoid NTR complaints, that may be the case. But I think he is trying to make us empathize with Chad to an extent, but we have to know what he's hiding first. Him being gay would accomplish both things.

I think the simple answer boils down to DPC worrying about NTR claims if he were to show Sage being intimate with either Chad or others in the past and is choosing to roll with the inconsistency it presents (unless he does end up addressing it and proves me wrong).

When it comes to girls the MC can fuck (specifically the side girls & secondary characters) we never see them having sex with other guys, past or present and at best it would only be mentioned like Tommy remarking how good Riona is at giving BJ's, Jamie saying he hooked up wit her last Friday or however it was. Camila is more or less a literal prostitute but we won't see her with a guy that isn't MC. Envy/Nicole is a stripper who does extra for paying customers but we don't/won't see that. Jade & Stephen are married with a kid but we won't see them fucking because she hates him, convenient for the player right?

for secondary characters it's not that it makes a lot of sense narratively to show us whether or not they have sex with others.

except if there was a situation in which MC directly witnessed it, which is still quite difficult

instead for LIS it may be that DPC has applied a kind of self-censorship

 

[GPsarakis]

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm waiting for the Jade and Cathy threesome personally.

 

[felicemastronzo]

At this point it is really matter of interpretation and I guess we all have our own. For me, it sounds exactly like the kind of conversation two people would have after they did something intimate in the past that they agreed they wouldn't let happen again, but then they find themselves in a similar situation to the one before and one person tries to defuse the tension by saying it won't happen.

the sexual hypothesis is credible only for the context of the game.

it is very far from Jill's character, whether there has been something, or whether she is going to talk about it, moreover on the evening when there is also a third person at home (opportunities to talk about the two of them alone there will have been many)

should this Bella's "secret"? or however closely related to it (cause or consequence)

we know so little about Jill and Bella's story that everything becomes plausible

Yeah Narratively I don’t think we need to see others sexual encounters visually outside of story points such hell week pics of Derek. Massive flashback for maya/josey was unnecessary imo too.

Was it just me or did anyone else get the feeling that Jill definitely knew something about Bella's husband but didn't want to tell MC anything?

I think you may be overthinking it. If a girl is hot, she usually knows it. She's not throwing herself at literally anyone else except the MC, and it's very likely that in her entire life prior to the event of the game, not a single person has turned her down. It would still make the statement true even if she hasn't been in the position to be turned down in the last couple of years

You say that as if it's been confirmed or something lmao

 

[GPsarakis]

Wishful thinking. There's history between them ofc, and if they both find out you're doing the other, things could get interesting.

Could see Jade seeing that as the ultimate revenge on Burke

DPC has built a lot of curiosity on this point, I hope he had a good idea that is neither trivial nor not credible

Jill certainly knows more than MC, but when MC talks to her about the closed door, Jill doesn't seem to know exactly what they are talking about, at best she has some suspicions

 

[AvatarStormBringer]

Does this statement apply to Jill? She's giving me the impression that either she does not have that self awareness or she does not give a damn.

 

[GPsarakis]

Yeah, I think Jade would be all for it, just have to get Cathy to agree.

 

[Marcelo1212]

Hey, I'm already in the 5th chapter of the game, and I lost A LOT of my renders and wallpapers. Does someone have any ideia of why is that happening?

 

[felicemastronzo]

You say that as if it's been confirmed or something lmao

of all the threesomes hypothesized that one with Cathy e Jade seems to me the most credible, even more than the one in theory legitimate with Maya and Josy (which would mark a big turning point in their relationship, it would no longer be a test drive ..)

in the end it would be only a sexual matter without any particular emotional involvement, and without major consequences on the story

Some time ago I made a post replying to Holy Bacchus suggesting that that conversation might have been about the MC, the two of them feeling something for the same person. Since then I noticed something else, maybe why Bella stopped the sauna BJ wasn't because she feared Jill could come in, but because she remembered the conversation with Jill. It looks more plausible than Jill and Bella having an affair.

As much as I love Jill and Bella (best girls) we definitely don't know them well enough to determine what Jill does or doesn't know about Bella and her personal life. They've apparently been friends for a long ass time so Jill knows something. She might just be good at playing dumb in front of MC. I mean, we gotta remember they literally just met the guy.

we know little about Jill, about Bella we only know that we don't know a lot of important things

they are the two least delineated characters

She says we should respect her privacy but shortly after she goes and tries to open it herself . It reminded me of the story of Bluebeard.
