Before they enter the house Naomi describes the many foster homes she was in before she lived with this couple. She described being repeatedly abandoned and losing everyone, including her family except for her estranged sister.
Based on how she's behaving, at this point I'm half-convinced she's been repeatedly abandoned because she's the one that keeps pushing people away until they eventually give up on her. It would be consistent with a lot of the evidence.
Which I suppose is kind of poetically appropriate, considering my version of the MC has also given up on her at this point.
Thought i found their relationship (MC/Naomi) very shallow, i don't know why it is pictured as if they were the love of their lifes for each other.
Because it's what
they believed. Because they were basically Romeo obsessing over Rosaline. A childish teenage crush overblown into a love so dramatic that Romeo was willing to kill himself over it after she rejects him. And then completely forgotten 30 seconds after he meets Juliet for the first time.
Teenagers gonna teenage.
But everyone has to grow up sometime.
We also got blamed for not inviting Damon the pool party and of course we can't call out Danielle for her bs for once.
He gets blame at the pool party, cause we did have so much choice going along with Danielle
Course Damon blames MC again, it's not like he basically forced us to deal with his ex, which he is not capable of dealing with...or even trying to do so.
Like man, i wanted to tell Damon that he should finaly get his sorry ass up and deal with his obsessed ex, u don't even need to tell her about being gay, just make it clear it's over once and for all and if are just having a heart to heart talk, stop ''fixing'' things, u suck at it...
I was so annoyed in that moment I was tempted to blow off Damon completely and go talk to Danielle. Especially because she's only doing dumb shit in the first place because he utterly refuses to man the fuck up. It's like, you don't even have to tell her you're gay, dude. Just
talk to her. Cut the passive-aggressive shit and make her understand you're serious about being broken up, and don't want to get back together. Because otherwise you're just stringing her along and ruining her life way worse than she's doing to yours.
Only problem was that I was already annoyed with her for that whole mess in the first place (I've more or less been rejecting her and her ideas from the beginning), so my knee-jerk response was to point out that she dragged me along against my will (because she did) rather than accept
even more completely unjustified blame for something I wanted no part of in the first place. So I was sort of left having to pick one of them to talk to, when at that point I didn't really want to talk to either of them.
It's like, fuck it, let's head back out to the pool and go talk to the other girls. Maybe one of them isn't a turbo drama queen like everyone else in this town.
I mean, the MC seems to be either simp or a masochist, if Damon revals he is gay, i'm sure either Damon or the MC will find something he can blamed for again, most likely both and maybe one or two LI's will join.
Damon will eventually reveal he's gay, and that he's had a crush on the MC their whole lives. MC will apologize for not being gay so he could be there for Damon, thus it's clearly entirely his fault that Damon is going through such a difficult crisis. MC will probably also apologize for not realizing Damon was gay and thus not being able to support him emotionally, in spite of the fact that Damon's the one who's been trying to hide it the whole time.
</sarcasm>
Honestly though, as much as the game pushes Damon as your bestest friend ever, it kind of comes across like their friendship is as shallow as your relationship with Naomi seems to be. It's explicitly said at one point that the two of them never actually talk about personal stuff (helping explain why the MC never twigged to the fact that Damon's been gay the whole time). And it's not as if you seem to have anything meaningful in common other than the fact that you both occasionally like to drink beer.
And apparently Damon likes to live vicariously by hooking you up with multiple potential girlfriends (he's the reason you hooked up with Naomi, Mira is very clearly pushed off onto you for the same reason, and he seems way too interested in the idea of you and Danielle talking about stuff together when you mention it to him the first time - it seems like he may have gotten his hopes up that the two of you would connect and it would solve two separate problems for him at once).
