The threads I follow are quite slow. I think that part of it is that corruption also plays into degradation. Is not about a shy girl being more confident and sexually reliased, is about degrading Holly, have the accomplish writer and romantic girl turned into a hole to be used.
That's the crux. Ivy is bringing Holly down to her level, not helping Holly become the unfettered and inspirational version of herself. And I'm not even sure if Ivy knows there's a difference. Ivy has cunning, but no core wisdom or values. Just passing fancies and games to play, and she prefers to use others as pieces first.
It may sound crazy but I don't think she does. I really think that in her mind she is helping Holly, it does not make her right but it does make her a more complex character. Yeah, not a big fan of corruption either, but I can indulge in it sometimes.
I think she have a breeding kink, but I wouldn't mind her becoming pregnant either with Ian dating her or not. If Allison wants to be a single mom and have the money, she just needs the sperm.
Is wanting a children with the guy you love a kink?
Agreed... Axel makes some sort of sense as he turns up and not only fucks like a shire-horse but also acts as a gatekeeper to the modelling profession so you can *see* why Lena would feel tempted to go back to old patterns. It's not just the sex, it's also the money and the security etcAlso Gillian should have appeared earlier in the story, she should have always been present like Axel for Lena. Mostly because the character model is so attractive that it's a waste not to have a bunch of sex scenes with it.
Horny brain often likes risk taking, and really likes baby making risks. It's the one outside purpose all living things are programmed with, make copies. Humans have managed to take a lot of that control back, to not let that rule them, but evolution created a back door for lust to hack through. I kind of hope Alison comes to terms with both sides of herself, gets an IUD (or something) and leans really hard into the breeding kink. Safe, and sexy!
Is there any real content for Gillian other than when they bump into each other? I never followed her back, or kept her photos around, that I can recall.
Gillian to Ian is effectively what Lena is to Axel -- she's "the girl who got away" (although unlike Lena/Axel probably not due to Ian's fault). So the player gets the choice to either move on, or keep obsessing over her and wanting her back in his life, even if that's seemingly not what Gillian wants.
I wonder if Gillian will somehow be tied up with the book contest? A professional and romantic complication, perhaps also a gatekeeper. George Lucas would like it, it rhymes.../s
Not really. Some people need therepy and their whole damn world ends because a gf left or a bf cheated. It's perfectly realistic as it is lol.
Feels more high-school than mid 20s type of drama, imo. A few more crossings of paths could have helped though.
Ian is an intern supported by his parents and is writing some silly fantasy book. Perry and Wade spend their days playing video games and refusing to grow up. Emma is still going through her rebellious phase. Cindy seems like an ice queen bitch straight from a high school drama. Despite all the "look how we've aged" talk during their get togethers in the Fortress, it seems like they barely aged mentally at all. Only Alison seems like an adult.
I managed to get 5 relationship with her but I need over 5 for the second option to unlock...petulant brat
Ian may be on the cusp of being a brand new hot author, Holly is a published author (an extremely competitive career, and making it professionally as any kind of artist is a huge accomplishment). Perry and Wade are definitely rudderless, but I wouldn't dismiss Emma as being in any kind of 'phase.' She seems like a true believer, an active and beneficial part of the community (with a great ass). Alison is more career oriented and type A, but I don't think she's actually more fully herself than the others, seeing how her personal life is so poorly developed. By those types of measurements, Ivy, Axel, and Jeremy are closest to their 'final' forms.
