Ian has no competition tho(they cant really fuck "your" girls if you dont want them to), and Jeremy says stupid shit all the time, Axel is complete idiot when he talks with Lena, he only charismatic when he is with other people.
Correct me if am wrong, but there's currently no instance in the game of Cindy cheating on her boyfriend with anyone but Ian. So i don't see why you'd want Ian to make shit up.
His GF is not cheating tho, and he does not owe Wade any explanations since he is friends with both and she asked you to not tell him about the photoshoot specifically, they are hardly good friends anyway, they were, back in school, now they barely meet(perry words).
When you go out to the bar earlier and go to Shine with Cindy, and she gives her number to Axel. I suppose it's not cheating by a dictionary definition, but the way its written it's definitely sleazy, and definitely something a boyfriend would want to know about. If this were the opposite - two female friends, and the boyfriend of the female friend who stayed home went out with the other, and chatted up a random girl at the bar and gave her his number, the girlfriend who stayed home would know about it THE NEXT DAY, if not the same night lol.
As it happens, Ivy, Lena's best friend walks on Ian fucking Cindy in the back alley. Not only Lena doesn't learn about it the next day; Ivy doesn't tell her about it at all. Jeremy, who also sees it, doesn't immediately tell Wade. And unlike Ian they don't even hint about it. So, it's hardly just Ian who is holding back on his friend.
Lena regularly loses her shit around Axel, even to the point where she can't decide what she wants to say at all. Robert gets all clingy and pathetic around Lena. Axel definitely doesn't act all cool and composed in situations where Lena is involved with another guy, even Ian notices this. Cindy very much falls apart after she cheats on her boyfriend with Ian. Alison can't bring herself to talk honestly with Ian about her feelings if her life depended on it. Louise gets so snivelly and clingy Lena actually finds it annoying. The list could go on.
Jeremy gets into awkward situations with womans constantly, he is a "simple but endearing dude with giant cock that likes to fuck", he is not your typical BBC material that for sure, most of his scenes with Ivy/Louise has awkwardness in them when he gets called out on stuff(has zero exuses), most of his scenes with Lena has this too, since he does not know how to deal with her because of Ian, she had to practically force herself on him.
Get out; this is a classy porn game, not some degenerate filth.
The Ivy example is a fair point, though I never thought of her as Lena's bestie, shes just the party-girl friend; Louise is the bestie, but i guess it depends how you play it. I wouldnt call Lena "losing her shit" around Axel, rather just storyboarding for reluctance to go back for the "bad boy" - and when it comes to him being jealous, notice her emotions are always fear or anger, but never repulsion. Agreed on Cindy and Louise.
Agreed on Robert, I'll change what I said in that he's certainly dynamic.
Jess calls him an idiot and a looser in front of his friends. There is that.
Pretty sure Ivy being her best friend is ingame canon, no matter how much you try to be good to Louise, you cant(i tried very hard, she is my favorite "love interest"), i wish it did depend on how you play it tho.
I dont think its fair to use all potential times protag "can get humiliated", i personally dont really see anything humiliating about the scene we were initially talking about(Wade/Ian dialogue about Cindy), Axel and Jeremy simply dont have that many scenes for them to get humiliated, they are side characters with very narrow purposes, especially Axel, we only see him like 3-4 times for a short time and its almost always work related in some way( photoshoot), Jeremy is too dense and simple to get humiliated, i dont think he would care or even notice.
Ivy is canonically "Lena's closest friend and the only one she still keeps from her high school years". It's right there in her bio in the Agenda. In contrast Louise and Lena are said to be "good friends" in Louise's entry.
