VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [Ch.10 v0.71] [NeonGhosts]

[PHIL101-YYouPPHard]

I think it's pointless arguing the Harem topic, it's beating a dead horse at this point. We know there won't be a romantic harem ending, at least not until after the game is complete, since it was mentioned maybe a bonus ending would be added afterwards.

We also know there will be romantic POLY endings, with like 2 or 3 girls, I doubt it will go beyond that considering the characters available. I'd say a poly relationship with 4 would be hopeful, and I'm struggling to think which 4 girls within the confines of the story so far would be willing to potentially partake in that sort of relationship. The only ones I can think of are Nicki, Mason, and likely Viola too. Some other potential but less likely candidates being Ashe and Brittani.

I get the feeling Gabby, Carolina, Madison, and Pepper are super unlikely to want a poly relationship, at least a romantic one. (Although Gabby and Viola throuple could be a thing... maybe) As far as Alex, Wren, Risa or Cassie go, we don't know much so no point in speculating on those four.

I think my dream poly ending would be, Nicki, Ashe, Mason, and Cassie. Since Ashe isn't likely though, I would settle for the other three.

You know, I actually think Nicki isn't going to be up for poly I mean, I think she might put up with it if MC insists... but, I don't think she's open to it in the sense of her inner desires. I could 1000% see Mason open to it, though. Cassie we can't be sure yet... I think Ashe might be open to it, but I could easily see it the other way too. I agree that Gabby, Carolina, Madison, and Pepper feel like definite hell-no's lol I could see Brit willing to experiment and maybe even like it, but I could also see her the same way I see Nicki, willing to put up with it, but isn't what she truly wants. Viola seems like another hard one to crack... we're not even sure if she's bi or lesbian, yet. Tbh, maybe this is a stereotype, but Risa seems the most likely to me at this point. She didn't want sloppy seconds, but I bet that's only when it comes to strangers; I bet with a good friend, she'd be into it, especially with the help of weed from personal experience haha. And I could see Neon having fun playing with that interesting ~contradiction (not really a contradiction, but you get what I mean), that she sort of seems to hint at not being into sharing in her first encounter, but then you find out she has 1 or 2 best girlfriends she's regularly shared with her exes or something. That'd be fucking hot... but my imagination is carrying me away And anyways, I could also see Neon having fun circling around the "weed slut" stereotype into something more unexpected... 'cause if Risa isn't into sharing, I'd definitely be surprised.

Imagine caring about the women's desires. Next you're going to be OK with NIcki peeing on him

Let's be prepared then

I didn't deny that incest hapens but compared with cheating incest is rare outside of arranged marriage territory. Even in the case of arranged marriages it woud be between cousins, never between brothers for obvious reasons. Harem is even more rare than incest in the modern world.

I still think you underestimate how common it and confused that with how uncommon is it to reveal it to the public for obvious reasons. I would agree that most "harems" in the modern world are of the compulsory kind and not the voluntary kind. However, money and power are attractive and there are some less traditional harems in the modern world that might be more akin to "groupies"

But going back to game territory and Friends in Need, I only see Harem working in the corruption route if you force the girls into it. In the vanilla route I cant think of any girls being ok with anything beyond the casual threesome, and that would be only with open minded girls like Ashe or Brit.

I would agree with this and was the point I was trying to make earlier. It would be a product of Evil Guy forcing them into it.

I'm actually the opposite
I love romance
I don't even like it when the mc in these games calls a girl a whore or stuff like that.

Anyway
Is everyone else excited about going glasses shopping with Mason in the next update?
I'm going to pretend it's a date
Just you wait Mason, I'll take you on a nice romantic date eventually
The date will of course include handholding and lots of kisses

About harems I honestly don't like them
But I'll play almost anything if something I don't like is avoidable

Oh thank the gods, I was beginning to think I was the ONLY person here who DIDN'T want to abuse the girls. And yeah, Mason is just too cute and sweet to let go of....

No there are at least 10 similarly confused individuals

 

[Joshy92]

I have thought of something very romantic I would do with Mason
Some would call it perverted but here it is

I would totally cum in his mouth and on his face
and before he swallows, I would give him the biggest most passionate kiss I could

So yeah, I would definitely give him cummy kisses
To prove how much he means to me

Yeah I think most here only play that path just for the sake of content. I tried that path once I didn't even look at the lewd scenes just played the scenes for context and skipped past the lewd parts, was a bit to much for me doing dark shit as the MC.

 

[The Anti]

Dark path = best path.

 

[RainbowRobo]

Gabby... Pepper... Viola

Somehow I think gabby viola might be a path that's being set up. and honestly, pepper seems the most pragmatic for like... She'll compromise herself and justify it after, living with the rationalizations until they stop being rationalizations and just become acceptance.

I think you've been smoking drugs. Most of us hate the evil path.

Hate is a strong word. Appreciate it exists to give the non-dark path more meaning and impact. It also fleshes out the characters a bit better when you can see how they'd react in a different scenario.
But yes, I am also glad there's a "skip over unread text" option when my curiosity got too strong.

cummy kisses

Seriously under-rated practice. Not even full snowballing, just... Appreciation. Passionate or not, I feel like it's weirdly selfish to see scenes where an mc ends up getting blown and the response is always this stepford smiler cum glazed fawning, only to be followed up by "Whelp, i got off, go clean up and I'm getting on with my day!" I mean think about it from the other perspective, even if you're the most cock addicted cum guzzling hoe bag, a pat on the head of appreciation would be nice(if sometimes demeaning), but what would be even nicer is a kiss, on the forehead, or cheek if you're really so afraid of a little spunk, but an indifferent one on the lips could carry buckets of meaning over miles. Especially given how often it's expected to be eager to do the other way, either kissing someone having just gone down on them, or sucking off a cock still wet just pulled out of her.

... My soap box might be showing.

I'm not about snowballs or cummy kisses(this actually grosses me out if I'm honest) , but as long as they've swallowed, I'll kiss my lady (this doesn't faze me at all). I'm pretty reciprocal though.

Yep. Reciprocity is great.
Were we in (most) others game's thread i would say that would be unlikely to happen. But here i think there is a good chance.

 

[RainbowRobo]

grosses me out if I'm honest

I get it. I do. It's a thing, and between the shift of psychology a lot of people experience and a general social distaste for male homo-eroticism in a lot of ways... It's off putting for a lot of people.

But....

as long as they've swallowed, I'll kiss my lady (this doesn't faze me at all).

... Even that makes you pretty fucking stellar in comparison to most. Like, I met guys who are so homophobic they can't even kiss a girl who blew them until some arbitrary amount of time had passed (usually long enough to get horny again plus a day or so). And it wasn't that long ago it was considered inappropriate for a wife to do in general "She kisses my kids with that mouth".

So it's just... Like... Fuck, i've seen the shit people put in their mouths, what's so magical about a little semen? Like, the same guy who will rim a girl with the wet enthusiasm of a dog with a drooling problem slurping up a bowl of cake batter will wilt more dramatically than the most delicate houseplant at the mere hint he might make contact with his own come.

Were we in (most) others game's thread i would say that would be unlikely to happen. But here i think there is a good chance.

Quite. And honestly I don't really know. I feel it could go either way on top of either way. From a simple kiss indifferent to the circumstance, to a full fetishistic face licking cum eating thing. And honestly, I'm along for the ride regardless. This has been a pretty decent VN that I'm not sure I could really find things that bug me about it if I tried. I just couldn't stop from venting about an observation about the subject in general.

Though if anyone is taking notes *hint hint* I wouldn't object to there being a completely celibate path. Not for a fetish kind of thing, just something that I really feel needs to happen in more porn games. Somewhere between as a laugh and a subversion of expectations. Considering the game briefly had a no-nikki patch, I feel this suggestion might be taken in the spirit it's intended. (semi-seriously but not at all)

I think it's a textural and own bodily byproduct thing for me. Slimy is not a thing I'd ever want in my mouth, and I don't ingest any of MY other bodily excretions.

I'd never demand a woman either blow me or swallow though. I like going down on women, but when it comes to finishing the deed on my part I prefer creampies all the time always and twice on Sundays. Gotta give the lil swimmers at least the false hope that it'll be mission accomplished.

Yeah. I used a strong word, for the strong feeling I have for it. True, that doesn't mean everyone has this strong feeling towards it. I have voiced my opinion about it a few times and someone always gets butthurt over it. I'm glad the path exists, but I can still hate it.
