You've gone into detail about something I've thought a lot about regarding the throuple, especially since I'm on Episode 8 of my replay: Maya is love, Josy is lust, to make it oversimplified. Maya discovery, Josy adventure.Just done my Throuple - equal save, few notes i guess
Josy does feel like an afterthought at times, not in character (which is the common complaint), but interactions, for example the ep7 hangout, If you choose to hang with Maya, Tremolo takes a TV over so she can watch her movies which means a ton to her, she realises that she can genuinely get horny with Tremolo and enjoy sex and cum from it, which is massive as she continues to explore her sexuality (as she mentions to Sage at the halloween party that she isn't even sure what she is), Tremolo shares stuff about his mum.
Josy's hangout, they go swimming, talk about investing or something unimportant and fuck. As someone who enjoys the more intimate/emotional moments in the game over sex scenes, (which is why Sage is my favourite), it doesn't compare
The dorm party, Maya and Tremolo share an intimate kiss in public, before running off and having a long scene which shows Maya's playful side and shows her realising she enjoys sex where she can get caught, again expanding her character
Josy and Tremolo share a very intimate kiss (Much better than the one with Maya to be fair) and Josy learns to stand up for herself a bit more, which then isn't shown when Becky is being a cunt in episode 10.
The halloween party doesn't have a ton of character development. While Josy shows a bit of character development in her personality, Maya gets sexuality development, which i think makes sense as Maya's character is established pretty early on. As previously mentioned, Maya tells Sage that she doesn't know exactly what she is, she feels more comfortable with PDA with Tremolo, she again has risky sex with Tremolo.
Josy shows she probably has a bit of an exhibitionist side when she flashes her breast. There's also an aspect of her character that isn't established early on but isn't really explored throughout the game. Josy's family relationships, her relationship with her father is established to be very good early on, but then i feel like DPC shuts it down when Josy refuses to let Tremolo meet her parents with the excuse about them fucking in Episode 2, despite this being easy to explain away (it was a different boy, oh guess what this one knows Tommy). Having a great relationship with a supportive family would offer a different perspective and give Josy and Tremolo something to bond with, and offer something different since basically every main character in the game outside of Tremolo has beef with family. Also Josy is a very very horny person
She shows a nice dynamic in Episode 10, which perfectly juxstaposes if you break the throuple up. If you break it up, Maya is understanding and tries to move past it, in this case Maya is shellshocked and unsure, while Josy tries to see the positives and leans into it
But then the hangout thing happens again, Maya and Tremolo bond over movies again and have an intimate, emotional chat about their situation, about Josy, the relationship, thanksgiving, and they fuck
Josy and Tremolo bond over pillow forts (that sounds like i'm taking the piss, but it's genuinely cute), have what amounts to small talk, and then reminisce about having crushes on each other, which keeps coming up, even weeks/months into the throuple, and fuck
Within the context of the game, it feels like it has always been Josy is the lust in a relationship, and Maya has been the emotional/intimate side
That is the rambles of a man who is writing a dissertation on video game characters at 5am, so i apologise if i've missed something or i'm way off base
One thing i will stand on, I disagree with 90% of the ha
Not totally sure what you mean here, how does Josy try to see the positives after getting dumped?She shows a nice dynamic in Episode 10, which perfectly juxstaposes if you break the throuple up.

It's in his signature.What's the head count???
Psssst. It's because he can't make her cum.I just noticed something that I've only seen for the first time.
When you are talking to Derek and Thirsty Ghoul and Derek asks if you're seeing anyone there's a check.
If you are 'seeing/fucking' Nora, Lily, Nicole, Quinn or Jade - Tremolo responds with "Not dating, but I see the potential."
If you are 'seeing/fucking' Riona or no one - Tremolo responds with "I have literally nothing going on."
Why would Riona be left off the list?

I don't know, that text with her just before it, it is pretty cute. She's definitely got feels at that point.That's so meanbut it's probably because neither of them are considering any sort of relationship with each other at that point.
Sure, but it isn't until that talk in the theater room where her eyes are opened to the fact that MC is boyfriend material, all she has to do is actually go for it instead of only fuck him.I don't know, that text with her just before it, it is pretty cute.

This coupled with the arcade date definitely open her eyes.Sure, but it isn't until that talk in the theater room where her eyes are opened to the fact that MC is boyfriend material, all she has to do is actually go for it instead of only fuck him.
My takeaway from this and what Maya might possibly be is a demisexual. Which is when a person needs to develop a close emotional bond with someone before they start feeling sexually attracted to themIf you choose to hang with Maya, Tremolo takes a TV over so she can watch her movies which means a ton to her, she realises that she can genuinely get horny with Tremolo and enjoy sex and cum from it, which is massive as she continues to explore her sexuality (as she mentions to Sage at the halloween party that she isn't even sure what she is), Tremolo shares stuff about his mum.
Here I was trying not to fuck over my save LOL cause I was like I can bang bella and jill but it will mess up the route with sage xD
I'd say emotional bonds are very important to her, but she was drooling after the strippers. So she does have a purely lustful side.My takeaway from this and what Maya might possibly be is a demisexual.

It's most likely the last sentence, she says as much in Episode 5 if you follow her instead of Josy.I'd say emotional bonds are very important to her, but she was drooling after the strippers. So she does have a purely lustful side.
I'd say Maya is a slightly bi lesbian. She is very rarely attracted to guys, but often attracted to girls. Or she could be solidly bi but by chance none of the other guys she has met has been her type.
Sage has had some emotional bonding with Maya, though. The strippers were pure lust. However the lust didn't seem all that strong so maybe Maya does need that emotional connection to really get going.It's most likely the last sentence, she says as much in Episode 5 if you follow her instead of Josy.
Notice how much she likes Sage too![]()
The emotional connection is what I'm talking about, Maya gushes over SageSage has had some emotional bonding with Maya, though. The strippers were pure lust. However the lust didn't seem all that strong so maybe Maya does need that emotional connection to really get going.
434 that's quite alot, but I feel it slow down compare to episode 10It's in his signature.![]()
I think he's being picky about who makes the list.434 that's quite alot, but I feel it slow down compare to episode 10
Entirely plausible, though it is possible to find someone to be physically attractive while not having any sexual attraction to them. They can be mutually exclusive to each other.I'd say emotional bonds are very important to her, but she was drooling after the strippers. So she does have a purely lustful side.

The others already spoke my thoughts on the Riona question, so I'll focus on the part that gained my attention and seemingly no one else's. Are you saying that Jade alone can trigger the code for "potential"?I just noticed something that I've only seen for the first time.
