Ok. What exactly was not resolved?
Josy's lack of proper self-identity and the feeling of being undervalued and overlooked in the relationship that she expresses in Ep 11. Granted it grows more during the game, but it's also there then too and has been with her since the beginning. Also, properly resolving to be more there for each other, particularly Maya for Josy, and to deal with these issues together which, again, happens in Ep 11.
I'm looking for a needle in a haystack with you. Becky annoys Josy and Maya twice in the same scenario in the library, and Maya gets a bit uncomfortable about it, while Josy has no problem in both examples. Once again proving that Josy's Ep11 "wah" moment comes out of nowhere.
Josy being curt towards Becky still has nothing to do with her own personal self-identity issues and the lack of communication with Maya about the issues expressed in Ep 11. She can have a moment like that whilst still feeling like a lost soul.
What deeper issues? You mean when Josy off screen starts reading Satre and questions why she loves Maya and is even at school? That soap box that came out of nowhere?
The deeper issues are literally everything she talked about in Ep 11. Maybe go read it again because I think you missed a lot.
See above.
Then what exactly are we talking about?
If we see CHAPTERS upon CHAPTERS of the throuple having a good time, going through hardship, dealing with hardship, and then being positive...I mean, what are you talking about?
If you have to ask then it shows you're not getting it.
Again: what are you talking about?
It's like you have some insight into Josys' psyche. Like, was she tortured as a child? Then, she'd been repressing this trauma all her life? Suddenly, Episode 11 comes by, and you think it all makes sense?
What exact issues are you talking about, and where did they come from? A character can't just put their foot down and start spouting nonsense like "I was traumatised as a child" and expect an audience to buy it. But there isn't any trauam with Josy: she's totally fine! Just because you THINK there's something there without evidence doesn't mean it's there. Just because DPC decides to pull a 180 doesn't mean it makes sense.
The problem I think you and others have is that you expect these things to be laid out in very explicit terms, that you expect her to be outright saying these things and speaking directly to them, but this is not how it's been with her nor is it how it generally is with women or most anyone IRL.
If you actually pay close attention you'd notice that Josy is always looking for reassurance, affirmation, and attachment, this is because these are typical signs of an inner struggle with feelings of self-identity and self-worth as well as just a general emotional need of them, all of which is likely due to past separation trauma, i.e. her parent's divorce. This could even be considered a case of transference if Josy's need of these things comes from feeling like she didn't get much of this during the time her parent's were going through their troubles and so she desperately seeks reassurance, affirmation, and attachment from others because she still feels that void.
This is also very evident in how she so often puts herself before Maya and places Maya's problems above her own because people who do so are typically looking for this to be a source of affirmation, to have the other person value them because of how much they do for them but it can be an unhealthy thing for their own sense of self, which becomes apparent in Ep 11 during that convo. Now that Maya's issue is resolved and Josy isn't having to always be there for Maya, she's not sure who she is anymore and where she fits, hence why she feels "lost" and searching for her own identity.
So again, if you pay close attention to her words, the ways she's clearly holding back, often changing the subject and redirecting the convos, the looks she gives in those difficult moments, the expressions of doubts, insecurities, etc, her body language, it's clear that she's not been "fine" this whole time, she's been struggling with an inner battle that a lot of people are just not seeing.
Citation needed. Prove your statements.
- Feeling like a lot of the focus is on Maya and not their relationship, pretty self-evident throughout.
- Feeling "lost" because she's not sure of her own self-identity, as explained above.
- Feeling confused about her feelings for Maya because of her feelings for the MC, evident by her constant back-and-forths over each of them.
- Feeling like they don't communicate on this kind of deeper level, which they have not.
Honestly, this feels like critical writing in English class and you're asking me to do your homework for you
Let's this this again:
1. Episode 9's Hallowe'en party was great for the two, outside of Oscar being mean to Josy. The Truth or Dare scene, who to choose, sex later, all positive.
This proves:
-Josy and Maya are having a good time with each other.
-They got together and did their hair, and Josy helped out with makeup and costume
-With alcohol combined
-With sex
-With throuple sex
-Alongside with Oscar making Josy feel bad. So there's good and bad. It's not all one big happy drunken sexy time. It's a party, things get messy and wild.
Kinda puts a big giant hole in your theory that there's something underneath the surface that's OH SO DANGEROUS and deadly to Josy's psyche when she's drunk, sexual, getting attacked, and being happy with the two people she loves.
You seriously need to learn and understand that just because people seem OK on the outside and are capable of having good times doesn't mean there can't be issues below the surface. These things aren't mutually exclusive.
But WHERE exactly, in these, and other scenes, from Episode 4-11, does Josy have some hidden psychological issues, calling into question her inability to love Maya and the MC? Because I can point to about half a dozen sex scenes where she has no problems professing her VERY POSITIVE! Feelings to both.
Again, you just prove that you can't see something unless it's given to you in clear, obvious fashion. There is such a thing as subtext that you clearly struggle with.
What exactly are you saying then?
I've been anxiously awaiting for your response for over a month. I made a post about it in my signature. You've yet to respond. So please. Get to it.
ILLUMINATE US OH WISE ONE
...and that is what exactly?
To all this I'll just say, I just said it.
Don't blame me because you failed critical writing lessons and don't understand what subtext is.
You honestly strike me as someone who just takes everything everyone says in this game verbatim and fails to see the characters have deeper layers to them that they're expressing all the time through non-explicit means, which is also how people IRL can be too.
