VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.2 Full] [Eva Kiss]

Can someone explain to me what a "cuck path" for Ian is and how do you access it exactly?

I know what "cuck" means, it's just I always assumed it applies to Jeremy sending Ian his pics and vids, not to Lena (I knew you can be like sex friends with her and be okay with her onlyfans, but not that you can be in a literal cuck relationship with her).

At this point he doesn't literally get cucked, though she can cheat on him with Axel. The cuck route refers to when Ian says Lenas onlyfans showing herself to other men turns him on and when Ian asks Lena about the other dicks she's had while getting an unenthusiastic handjob, this dialogue also changes if Lena has slept with Axel and/or Robert

Lena pregnant plz

 

[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

Stan is definitely a pervert, but he is no rapist. If he were going to rape Louise or Lena he would have done so by now. He had the opportunity during the one photoshoot to stick his cock in Lena. You are right he does jerk off to them both especially Lena, and that can definitely be considered creepy, but because he had the willpower to not try to fuck Lena during his most recent photoshoot with her shows he is not a rapist. So he is definitely a pervert, but not a rapist.

His biggest problem is that he looks like himself. I think Axel is a much bigger threat to Lena than Stan is in terms of "Potential Rapist". Because, Axel can get away with that shit since he is a "Chad".

Axel shows even worse behavior than Stan as at his last photoshoot with Lena if she says no and to stop he keeps going anyways and she won't stop him if she she has masturbated to him since the breakup.

I am on board with you about Axel and Seymour, though Seymour probably not go as far as rape or something. His type is manipulate people to do what he asks. Think about the contract, he showed the contract so acceptable Lena can say yes even though she hates him. He enjoys bringing people onto their knees without forcing them. Axel has the potential of doing everything.

For Stan though, you are missing a point. People reach that point step by step, masturbating your roommates' pictures is a huge step towards there. He definitely has the potential to do bad things.

 

[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

That leaves an open candidate for a female who can be driven to suicide. I think the most likely contender for that is Holly sadly. Because that will hit people in the feels the hardest. She is already very antisocial with low self esteem. Throw in some heart break, and betrayal, and maybe she will wind up dead too.

Seymour blows tens of thousands of dollars on some random girl, takes her to fancy dinners, and gifts her expensive shit like clothes and jewelry. He adds whatever clause Lena wants in the contract if she's smart enough to bring it up, no questions asked. He even cancels their scheduled shoot when he learns she has to visit her family and pushes her to follow her creative dreams. All of this just to NOT get his dick wet so far. If anything, I feel Seymour is the victim here. He's the sugar daddy every IG 'model' dreams to exploit.

It will be funny if Eva throws a curve ball and later reveals Seymour is not some dangerous entity of corruption regarding Lena but a hardcore simp like Stan. Regardless, I expect there will be an option for Lena to take advantage of him using his own methods.

 

[ffive]

Multiple characters in GGGB were capable of being driven to suicide. If you treated your dad in that game like shit eventually he necks himself. If you bully Eva to maximum she eventually kills herself.

Stan is a very likely candidate for joining that camp with certain paths. In the last game 2 people could be driven to suicide. One male, one female.

Well, in this game we have two protagonists. One male, one female. Maybe suicide will be option for one of them. Like, if you have Lena repeatedly cheat on Ian, and he eventually finds out?

 

[seaoflove]

Killing off 1 of the 2 protagonists would elminate like 1/2 the lines and cause major problems since they are both so central. Such a thing wouldn't even be possible until way late in the game like last update or 2nd to last update.

 

[ekroniuk]

Or perhaps she didn't tell Lena precisely because she knew her friend didn't want to hear anything about her ex-boyfriend at that moment. What would be the point of this? "Hey look, this is a photo of me in Axel's apartment." You'd need to be really socially dense to think it's a good idea.

Yeah, that's why she published it on her Peoplegram where she knew Lena would saw it. She could gave her heads up, warned her that she will work with Axel, but for some reason she didn't.

Or it's a simple and genuine question. Again, as far as Ivy knows, Lena and Axel have both moved on, and Lena has no interest in sex with Axel -- she potentially has a new boyfriend and also repeatedly told Ivy she doesn't want any relationship with Axel.

It's not so much a "wink wink nudge nudge" but "But nothing happened, right, you've told me yourself you don't want him, so why are you busting my proverbial balls over simply being late?"

Yeah, Lena needed her, Ivy bailed on her and she's like, nothing happened right? She's weirdly not interested in how it went. Well, maybe because she knows.

Ivy tells Lena she doesn't have to freak out so much over sleeping with Axel, or feel so guilty about still wanting his cock. If she wants, she can sleep with him and Ian both. Which is true. It's something for Lena to decide, Ivy isn't Ian's keeper.

She strongly suggest it, she's pushing her in that direction

Given that Ivy isn't an idiot then why would she want to be a "snake" for her best friend? If she wanted to mess Lena's life then she gets many more opportunities, like spiking her drink with drugs when Lena tells her she doesn't want any. But instead she respects Lena's choice. So, if she demonstrates that she does care and respect what Lena wants, why do you presume she'd act exactly opposite?

I don't think Ivy hates Lena, so she wouldn't do anything mean to her out of spite. But what she values the most? Fun and having money to have fun. So if Axel is her gateway to fame, she could give Lena to him on a silver platter and have no regrets, her friend would be a necessary sacrifice. She may even rationalize it - Lena is not ready for a serious relationship, she need to have some fun.

People wrote that last chapter changed their view on Ivy, but in my case it only strengthen my suspicions. Ivy has no issue with using Lena emotional distress to take her to bed, so she has no problems with using her friend.

I'm not saying your theory is impossible, but it'd be very much an asspull given what overall we're shown when it comes to Lena/Ivy

I disagree. I think that if all clues turn to be red herrings, it would be bad writing.

Of course, it's also possible that Axel left polaroids in Lena's notebook by accident, but is it the most likely? Not really.

What makes you think she actually values fun and having money more than her best and pretty much the only friend?

Of course, it's also possible that Axel left polaroids in Lena's notebook by accident, but is it the most likely? Not really.

It is also possible Axel has left polaroids on purpose all on his own, without any cooperation with Ivy. I think it's more likely for jealous and manipulative ex-boyfriend to try such stunt, than invent an organized conspiracy.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Before the current update i would say Ivy tended to be a toxic friend with the way she brushed off Lena's worries about Axel when the guy was pretty much stalking her. Going after her parents house or appearing at her job? That is a scumbag criminal move.

But Ivy won a lot of points on my mind for the genuine worry she showed with Lena in the lastest updates. So i don't believe she would do shit like that anymore. I guess Eva Kiss (dev) must have seen how some people (myself included) were wary of Ivy and decided to change that.


ps: Why are some discussing about killing people of?
Doubt anything tragic like that is going to happen here.

I doubt it would happen in this game as well, this game is a little more grounded in reality and doesn't go to the extremes that GGGB did. That being said it was just a comparison to Eva Kiss' other title Good Girl Gone Bad, if Ash was a big enough bully, her father and friend Eva could commit suicide.

 

[dontcarewhateverno]

Dude you have some problems with my favourite chicks. First Emma then you say side chick to Cindy.

Nearly my reaction to Eva if the Ian/Holly/Lena trifecta doesn't happen.

In short, you gonna need to prepare images with desired style (so grab all of GGGB images and cut them into 512x512 pieces with characters), put them into same folder and run training. Once its done you can either "redraw" any existing photo/image with EK style or generate completely new images with it.

So if started experimenting with Automatic1111 and the Dreambooth extension. Do you have any suggestion on how to prepare the images from ORS/GGGB? Should I just add everything or select only images with characters and resize them to 512x512 or keep the original 1280x720 / 1920x1080 and cut them into roughly two/eight images. Also would it help to remove the background so not to muddy the training?

 

[JaszMan]

how corrupt can the characters become?. I tend to favor the female protagonist over Male MC's but still, can the characters truly go from on the straight and narrow to criminal slash slut?

 

[Mr_Ainz]

I want to gift you guys this question so as to make the wait for the next update more bearable (you’re welcome). If you could change the protagonists with another character from the cast who would you choose? Who's taking Ian and Lena's place?

Maybe you only want to change one protagonist, why then? I know that a lot of people disliked the multiple protagonist situation so we already know that some would prefer it if they could play as just Lena or Ian, I'm proposing something different here.

I've thought multiple times that Axel could be a cool choice, maybe Wade but his story would have to change a bit in order to be enjoyable to play I believe. For the female lead I'd certainly choose either Ivy or Cherry. Ivy I think is a more interesting character than Lena in some parts (although we do get to know Lena a lot more so Ivy does feel one dimensional). Cherry I just adore so it's simple. I'm curious about your choices .

Each protagonist can sleep around with multiple people. This can include cheating on their partner, if they're in a relationship.

Ed and Bad Jess

 

[ffive]

Perrry should be protagonist, obv. Or maybe Wade, see if you can keep Cindy faithful with both Ian and Axel gunning for her.
For the girls. Holly is kind of a natural pick, with the whole potential corruption path. Louise could be fun though, see if you can get any actual boyfriend that'll stick around for a change.

I actually like playing as Lena and Ian but I would definitely love to have Cindy as 3rd protagonist. I think she is the best written character in the game so far including protagonists. Her struggles, trying to understand her place in life, her expectations from herself and others, her flaws, her traits etc. she feels like a real life person or maybe I related to her most, I'm not sure. Anyways, Cindy certainly has protagonist potential. Also, if we deviate from relations to politics, society and how it works and how should it works Emma would be a good protagonist candidate. Though game would change drastically. So I'd vote for Cindy for the game as it is or Emma with huge plot changes, still no replacement though I like our protagonists.
