Infamous if (band wip) chap 3 (457k wrds) released (9/08/2024)

I just read fully that pov on patreon now and WOW.

Avina is seriously deluded. lol honestly scared for seven bc they are full on bunny boiler mode. The thoughts about mc and mc and seven’s relationship are seriously just insane.

Oh boy, Misery-core approaching at rapid speed?

This is how Avina feels about seven tbh:

I saw a screen of their old PoV once. Yeesh, you’re the one to talk about a relationship being unhealthy!

Avina is a walking contradiction because they say they care about seven, they say they want to look after them etc etc, but also in their pov they straight up say they’re glad for what happened to sev and they would want it to happen again just so they could end up like they are. Cause, you know, that’s a normal and nice thing to think about.
There’s a certain layer of cuckoo going on, I’m sorry but I don’t get how people still think they’re nice.

WellllI made some friends on Tumblr. :joy: :upside_down_face:

I think Amy’s very intelligent and loves keeping fans on their toes. I pick up sarcasm in some of her asks and I believe she enjoys not saying for sure As feelings for 7. At least for literary or spoiler purposes. Me personally I believe mc/7/avina are a love triangle. I mean the van scene with Savina reminded me how my husband and act in the evenings (petting and talking about stuff we need to do tho he’s more attentive). Triangle doesn’t mean 7s feelings either I’m talking about As. And id respect those feelings like hey samesis but it’s the fact they think they know more about mc 7 than mc and 7 does. Plus how they think they know what’s best for 7. In the van there’s one choice you tell 7 to quit being a big baby your not trying to be mean and A immediately says “I don’t think saying that helps…” Ew. Like stop it. But I digress, Amy is a writer successful–keep us speculating and interested. At the end of the story all this will be interesting to read :joy:

It takes me back to Supernatural and how it was a better part of a decade wondering about Castiel’s feelings on Dean until the finale. It was great for attention and debates and was left open I think for that purpose.

Like someone else said backtracking–My mc feels so disconnected from the band even tho I choose pro-band options. Not trying to sound like a b*tch but if my friends/bffs saw my ex at a party they would go in protective mode. I’ve seen in when we used to have nights out. I mean the band in the freaking prologue literally abandon mc at the celebration party (after seeing 7 which makes it worse imo). The singer. The songwriter. The frontperson. I could go on and on but you all probably get it. I do feel a bond with Jazzy, she seems more of an actual friend than bandmate. I guess if you play isolated or don’t give 2 shites about them it would make sense, but again choosing all pro-band choices looks by chapter 3 my mc gives more than she definitely receives.

I do hope there is a secret motive behind the band voting 7 out. Primarily for the drama but also to explain why since apparently 7 is a good singer? I mean he is now a lead singer in a successful band. And it would great if it exonerates mc (if mc didn’t know), especially in 7s eyes and mc just loses their sh*t on everyone for a hot minute.

I didn’t burn pics I’m a sap and wasn’t there dialogue mc had some under their own bed? :joy: Maybe I imagined it. Nah I’m sentimental my mc probably still has one of 7s shirts she sleeps in while at home.

Yeah I’d recommend staying away from tumblr unless you’re reading asks lmao. Trust me, people on there can be…wild. Although they’d probs say the same about the forum :laughing:

My only counterpoint about Amy possibly telling white lies regarding the not love triangle is that if she keeps saying it’s not a thing and then she goes “surprise! It was a lie to not spoil it!” people are not going to like it because they were sold a lie, so to speak.
Not wanting to spoil stuff is fair and something authors should do more, but also is this really that big of a plot point to keep safe? Are there people out there cheering savina on? Eh doubt dot png.

I can’t recall any time she’s done this. And I think lying about something this big multiple times would put a ton of people off.

We truly live in the society™. I guess the sting isn’t nearly as bad if you aren’t an ideological sevmancer…

Oh, wow… :face_exhaling:

Oh yeah yeah, I wasn’t implying she’s doing it right now. I’m saying it would be a counterproductive thing to do.

Avina is almost a complete non-entity in the demo, even post-chapter three, tbh. I was ambivalent and started liking them more when I saw the extent of their crazy in the POVs (I like characters that are a little fucked up). But I think it’s actually fine if people are super positive about Avina, just like I think it’s fine that people despise them with a fiery rage.

But I think if the author has repeatedly said it’s not a love triangle, it’s probably not a love triangle and the text in the story supports that, even taking into account MC’s limited perspective and own bias.

Yeah, that’s why I don’t think she’d do that :sob: but I’ll be real with you, I wouldn’t care if Seven and Avina were on the verge of flying to Vegas and having a shotgun wedding, my MC would still finagle in there and win :relieved:

Well you’re right there. Unless you’re on the seven route you don’t really see Avina that much. That being said seven and their mutual clinginess is what put me OFF sevens romance route. It’s too much.

Originally was going to have G as a fling and eventually my mc was getting bk with seven…now it’s G true love route ride him til my mc dies :slightly_smiling_face: :laughing:

Edit: I need to go bed now but this was a fun few hrs debating with everyone haha

So true! The G and MC invisible string agenda is more and more true with each update.

As someone now over fifty, I guess that makes me a ghost? :skull:

You’re welcome to share my crypt. We can have parties and haunt people.

I think that’s about the time I got my shit together. It was shortly before my 25th birthday that I realized I did not, in fact, know everything. What a hellish realization that was. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

stands next to @JBento and shakes my cane Damned kids!!

For me, it’s more of what Seven could be. I’m a sucker for “right time, wrong person” stories when we get to see them at the right time and don’t have to suffer through their stupid, boring, angsty history. Of course, after the VD special, I think Seven’s route is going to be Seven being distant and the two “being together” by being apart as much as human possible, so now I just want to see if the MC can destroy Avina’s world and take Seven away from them while having their little open relationship. Saying that makes me ill, though, so I don’t know if I will play it or not, especially since Avina is a permanent fixture.

I believe in toxic yaoi supremacy as well, but it’s just annoying at this point. Bestie, you’re not popping off with that one, please just stop trying.
