In the future I think that if Lena keep interest in Stan maybe he will start to take care of himself and became a gigachad or something like this, that's why I play his path
EDIT: I don't see Stan ever becoming a chad. I mean, if he was somewhat decent looking then it would be a possibility, but he's said to be ugly. Also, the time it would take to transform him probably wouldn't fit in with the timeline of the game.
I just hope Ch9 the non-Alison route is about Cindy and the whole alley debacle!
Don't we all! It's gotta have something about it in the next chapter, but I get a feeling that Cindy will try to avoid Ian for a bit, because coming face to face with Ian after the magnitude of their moment together would probably be really confronting for her. It would mean facing the undeniable attraction between them (made worse by the fact that they couldn't consummate the hot sex, so they're probably still left with a shit-ton of sexual tension and lust for each other), and facing her infidelity and how that could destroy their friend group, and the fact that they got caught and their secret feels like a ticking time bomb...
And just like with Wade and the photo-shoot, Cindy has a penchant for running away from her issues, which we know she's doing now with her subsequent weekend away with Wade. She's playing pretend, and knowing that Ian is going to see her social media update, see just how well she's doing with Wade, and how she's not thinking of Ian or what they did at all (yeah right).
I'm really looking forward to what happens next, though I suspect that there's gonna be some really awkward vibes between Ian and Cindy when their group gets back together again. She'll probably be extra nice to Wade and give him lots of attention, and Ian is not gonna feel too great about it. Buuut... I really love to speculate, and it's probably way off from what we'll get. lol.
Idk man honestly, Stan sucks ass, he's a boring creepy mofo who pervs on his fucking roommates and probably spends his time on incel boards.
And I know people will say "But Perry is the same on Ian's side blah blah" and no, Perry isn't the same, he just has confidence issues, but is otherwise a good friend and a funny guy to hang out with. Perry is a sitcom character a bit down on his luck, Stan gives me axe murderer vibes, I hope Lena can fuck off from that apartment ASAP before he barges into her room and tries to rape her.
Oh, I wasn't advocating for Stan, but because he's not a character I figured would feature high on anyone's list, I found it sorta interesting/surprising that some people were mentioning wanting content for him. As I said, I'm not gonna judge cos everyone has their own taste and kinks and whatever, I was just curious to know the thoughts behind their wish.
Also, I agree that Perry isn't like Stan at all. I always thought of Perry as the sort of oddball 'comedy sidekick' to Ian's main character. He does have his funny moments, but I can't really say I like him that much as a character. I think the main thing that annoys me about Perry is just his lack of motivation and any desire to step out of his comfort zone. It really gives the impression that Ian is growing out of his old friends if you play as anything but 'nerdy' Ian following the same routines, and some day soon Ian may have to move on without them.
Wade is pretty similar in that regard - it's a wonder that Cindy and his relationship didn't go sour ages ago, but I guess she cares enough about him to keep trying. It's also what makes me think (/wonder if/hope) that an Ian that goes full chad will have the opportunity to 'replace' Perry and Wade with Jeremy and Axel as BFFs.
I actually liked the start of Ian and Axel's interaction, and I'm kinda hoping that if Ian told Axel about him and Lena hooking up as soon as he discovered their former relationship, they might become mates. It would just seem weird for a full-chad Ian to still be hanging with Perry and Wade when they don't have that much in common to begin with, and full-chad Ian is much more likely to go to that upscale bar and the club rather then the group's old hangout that Perry and Wade prefer.
Also, if Ian fucks Emma and/or Cindy, he'll probably need new mates to hang with anyway. I don't see Ian staying at Perry's house when that shit goes down.
I can't wait and it looks more and more that she will be one of the main Players in Chapter 9. Love it.
