Despite her desire for raw meat, Cynthia's a pretty hot older woman. Kane has good genes

I tried once again to expand the horizons of perception and decided through Sancho-gallery to watch the scene of the secret sub route (Alessandra + Alice + Kane)...OFC, I watched the scene to the end, partially rewinding the dialog, but throughout the scene I did not leave the feeling of deep disgust, and Alessandra I already mentally executed and quartered. Good thing I had an antidote at hand, I rewatched the juicy Dom scene with Alessa, Celeste, KaneDom and cuckold Todd and immediately felt better... Anyway, I realized once again that my perception of kinks stubbornly refuses to expand into femdom ...when it's directed at Kane and not at the secondary characters who we're not controlling in any way...So I tried, but I lost.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't think we've discussed this here before, but not too long ago Miss Tess added a little “spoonful of tar to the honey barrel”. It's about the character traits of our lovely Angelica. Given that Tess has taken the possible romance with Angelica to a deeper level than originally planned, the possible consequences could, in theory, be far more significant than if Angelica had remained on the same level of “simple shallow affair with the staff”.

One can only hope that our red-haired Amazon doesn't try to play a double game and seek immediate gain by acting against KaneDom interests.

Schemer and surivor...she knows which side her bread is buttered on (on the dom path)...she knows we are her ticket upwards and to safety.

She is still only listed as a T2 romance though iirc yes? I've not heard anything further regarding promoting her more.

They can stab you in the night while you sleep, they are that dangerous! .

You say she's doomed if Kane is a sub?

I remember almost nothing about her in the last part of the K4 path, it's mandatory that I replay many parts before the update comes out .

Oh no...as is shown in Ep8 Pt1, on the KaneSub path, Angelica does what she needs to do to survive and gain favor....including shooting people with Charlotte.... On that note, she will also actively be 'hunting' with Charlotte in the gameshow....

You're a better man than I, Stan, for even trying... I guess. The only woman who would ever dominate me (IRL or fantasy) would have to be a necromancer. I really hope you are correct about Angelica. I don't mind that she plays her cards close to her chest but, I'm hoping that she can be loyal when that loyalty goes both ways. I was quite taken with her looks, personality and intelligence almost immediately in the story. She has quickly moved up to my #2 girl overall and, if circumstances were different or changed, I could see her challenging Dominique for #1. But, hey, that's just me and I freely admit I have a thing for feisty redheads...

I believe there will be a point/decision/choice/branch depending perhaps on faction you favor etc...where she may turn against you. Unlikely though....she a T2 romance option...

_________________
My only minor gripe...is I wish Tess (if she even knows) would confirm/clarify if you can have a T1 and T2 romance together. I have asked and was not met with an asnwer at the time (this was right as Part 1 released though so at that time she may not have thought about it too much).

At first I thought, "How strange is this fetish!" but now I realise that it means that he will only be ruled when he is dead and will return as a skeleton .

Hmmm... I guess I have always assumed that as a given - at least on the Dom path. Kane is expected to indulge and is surrounded by women who are "given" to him to serve various roles. Raven is a good example. Others, like Pat, seem willing to hitch their destiny to his if he will have them. The dark haired intern (temporary mental block on her name) seems infatuated with him. None of the major LI's seem to care as long as they get what they are after... It seems that one of the expectations placed on Kane is that he spread his seed far and wide no matter the life path he chooses... Oh, the burden of responsibility...

Perhaps all true yes....but we have to remember that none of the actual LI's are actually LI's yet. Tess been very clever to avoid any NTR in that regard...couple of ocassions early on with Olivia but mild at best.

How any of them (especially the actual sisters) will react when they actually do become 'your LI' remains to be seen...I can imagine more than a one not being terribly happy if you're out fucking all the pussy you can get (slaves exampt as that's part of their purpose)....but can you imagine Dominique being happy you're rogering Olivia and Jules behind her back???

We already know, confiormed, there will be no 'harem'....but we also do know that the 'other romances' on the DomPath will probably co-exist alongside the T1's (So Celeste with Alessa, Kitty with Olivia, Delilah with Jules etc). But yeah, Tess refused to answer whether a T2 'romance' could exist alongside a T1 (main romance path).

As I've said before, despite Tess saying no harem (and I understand her definition)....it still really is. As you say, you can have your T1, you have slaves, Pod4, Raven interested, you have Taylor and Mia (or Desdemona), Possibly Svetlana already if you hit K9 last Episode...sounding like the beginnings of a harem to me . The distinction I suppose, western harem definition with AVN players is that most likely only 'one of those' will actually 'love you'...the rest are just there to have fun with as you please.

I understood this phrase as follows: motseer do not accept domination over themselves in any form...

100% agree... Except for one minor detail... "...most likely only 'one of those' will actually 'love you'...the rest are just there to have fun with as you please." They will all love me. It is inevitable. I'm just that lovable... Jus' Sayin' Seriously, though, I get what you are saying about the T1 LI's... However, I still hold out hope that Dominique and Veronica might negotiate a time share...

Aargh , how long it took me to find this post (however, my own fault, I should have added it to my favorites right away)...But getting back to Angelica.. she is no longer T2, but T1...BTW, I wrote about it earlier, but there was no link to the Tess devlog.

In addition to what Maviarab wrote. Everything in the screenshot below applies to the Dom path (and SS). That was Tess's original intent (the post was made sometime in December 2023). But now our lovely Angelica will move from Tier2 to the big leagues ->Tier1 (Dom) with all the wonderful consequences that entails.

So our beautiful Angelica is already in the big leagues (T1). And I think she's smart enough to stick by KaneDom and not betray him.

Thanks Stan. Forgot about that post from Silver, all my notes are from the screenshot you posted. Shall ammend that now...wonder what world State her T1 will be in then...would imagine perhaps State A...but...? Hmmm.....also sounds very much like she will only go for the 'paragade grey' DomKane....

 

[motseer]

Pardon my ignorance if this is old information but, do we know what world states A, B, C and D are? Also, do we have any clues about how they come about or how to avoid them?

We do not. Ther has been a lot of theorising on them. I think we can for sure pinpoint one or two of them down....how they transpire/get to them...*shrugs*

A search should find the posts....Stan probably has them bookmarked lol. However, 4 states, many LI are tied to that said state. Three I think we can nail down....Kane top of the world....Revolution....Spaceship....and the fourth, current state of play perhaps???

WS-A Li's are: Olivia, Dominique, Jules, Angelica (when she was T2) and T2 Delilah. SS Alessa and Eloise.
WS-B Li's are: Olivia, V, Junko, Kiyomi (T2), SS Eloise & Elena, Sub Romances of Liv, V, Junko and Claudia.
WS-C LI's are: Olivia, Junko, T2 Delilah with Elena SS
WS-D...no Li's. Alone ending....

So, on that, Revolution ending has to be World State B or C. Only Junko T1 romance (and her sub romance in C).
Maybe 'D' is the spaceship? Kane sacrifices himself for Olivia to leave???
I'm personally thinking WSA is Kane on top ending...running the company.

Ultimately though, we really don't have enough info to be making 'accurate' guesses right now. Tess has confirmed today in Disco (Stan probably already read it) that there will be multiple 'similar' endings...in that, the ending is pretty much the same..just the LI flavour, which makes perfect sense, too much work otherwise, though she is still set on her 15 endings.

________________
With regards to my earlier post re T1 and T2 romances co-existing...I've asked again. I'll not post screenshot, suffice to say, some might, some won't. She stated she needs to 'look at how she sees T1 and T2 romances'....we already know the T2's will not be as in-depth. However, with Angelica being promoted to T1, that actually only leaves two T2 left anyway....Delilah and Kiyomi....

That's about what I thought I knew (or didn't know) about it as well. When I took a look at the Silver post Stan linked, I noticed it's possible Dominique and Angelica are both linked to world state A. Both of them also favor a "mostly good" Kane so there's no need to be a "perfect" paladin. All this makes my new Gambit Signature potentially prophetic... Thanks again, Mav!
