Probably the father would have even less to say, but I doubt they would have dropped the “sweetie it’s just a phase you will get over it” like dear mama.

Yeah, the dad seems more idealistic, at least. Too busy to be bothered with the MC, but not as harsh as the mom. Makes me wonder if the dad has been beaten down by the mom but just doesn’t care because he works 24/7.

Neither one of them seemed to want a kid, whatever the case.

@idonotlikeusernames

There is no choice the mc cannot be as big of an asshole as Blake period

You can’t be as big of an asshole as Blake, but you can hate Seven and be nasty to them every opportunity you get. Or just avoid them.

It’s not as powerful as what Blake can do, of course, because like you said, the MC doesn’t have a modicum of the stardom or temperament, but MC can be nasty in their own way.

@idonotlikeusernames

the mc being mean is kinda like a yipping chihuahua, nobody really takes it seriously because it is just hot air backed by nothing at all.

Maybe, but that could quickly change. Example: the MC is also befriending G and V, who have a lot of influence. With cameras everywhere, that’s going to become more visible (especially after they got filmed in the diner), and it’s something neither Blake nor Seven have that we are aware. It’s possible that could gain the MC some fans, really-- “Look, G and V are hanging out with MC!!” Of course, that gives credence to the claim that MC cheated, so maybe it’s a bad thing…

@idonotlikeusernames

If anything mc is a far more pathetic version of Blake without even Blake’s success at minor stardom and unlike Blake mc is not a confident bad-boy leader type either.

Well, it tracks, doesn’t it? Seven is like a less cool, slightly less successful version of G, so it would stand to reason we’d be less cool than Blake, with Seven’s level of success setting the lower level of ours in comparison (MC’s band has like less than half as many fans as Seven, and Blake’s number of followers is about that when compared to G’s).

Whatever the case, my point was the MC is the Blake in the thing with Seven. We sure as hell aren’t like G, since G has everything going for them, charms everyone, everyone loves them, and they can do no wrong. Those things apply to Seven, not to the MC.

@idonotlikeusernames

Since I don’t have the Patreon in your opinion do they hate the mc even more than Blake?

Yes. Avina is just better at pretending to be cordial. Between the two of them, I would trust Blake more and rather deal with them than Avina–at least Blake’s honest and not pretending to be sweet and reasonable while hating the MC with every fiber of their being.

I feel I’d almost prefer mom’s bluntness over a dad that very gently tells you you’re never going to fully realize your dreams. The family episode is going to be an absolute tragedy for MC.

[djinnism]

Right? Just the sheer impatience at MC talking about something objectively exciting happening to them. She couldn’t fake interest for, like, five minutes. Oof way to take the wind out of their sails.

It’s a tragedy or an episode from the office. “Mc tell your fans how did your parents supported your career and dreams”.
Cut to mc blank face.(by never being around - good job).

A. Wonder how the MC would have ended up if they had the parents around.

B. How the future phone conversation will be, if they start watching the TV show

@Maldron

Or like that video of Lewis Capaldi from his documentary where he plays a song for his parents and they go, “this is garbage,” on camera, in front of everyone.

[icyLucy]

My Mc will be like this;

making a rememberance funeral for Seven

Now he’s on the celebrity status

[djinnism]

@Maldron

A. Wonder how the MC would have ended up if they had the parents around.

A different kind of fucked up, but still fucked up. MC never had a chance

@Maldron

B. How the future phone conversation will be, if they start watching the TV show

They already think the show is silly and vile wait until their kid starts having full-fledged affairs with married people.

[Maldron]

@djinnism

Yeah yeah married people to the left. My MC making heart eyes at their manager to the right. Seven is somewhere in the background, burning his bandana. This is normal. Tune in on for next week to see Blake and G try to kill another.

[icyLucy]

@Maldron

burning his bandana

I read as banana in the first glance not gonna lie lmao

[djinnism]

@Maldron

My MC making heart eyes at their manager to the right.

MC’s white-collar worker parents screeching into the ether as their kid commits the biggest HR violation in history on national TV, where all their corporate shill friends can see.

"You should have raised me better. Oh wait you didn’t ¯_(ツ)_/¯ "

[icyLucy]

Imagine the soap opera drama on the television
“(Blank) year old rock star was caught on camera kissing the famous singer G, who is also married…” lmaooo

[Maldron]

If you go on g route, who says that won’t happen? V won’t be happy

[djinnism]

Can’t commit an HR violation if there’s no HR

[icyLucy]

But what if i kiss the both of them in front of the cameras

[idonotlikeusernames]

@EvilChani

who have a lot of influence.

Which they would never risk to help the mc, unless there is a disproportional benefit to them.

It would make mc’s yipping on the mean routes even more pathetic and the dog analogy more apt if people are only afraid of the mc because what G, aka the owner of what passes for their “career” might do.

@EvilChani

Of course, that gives credence to the claim that MC cheated, so maybe it’s a bad thing…

Yep, and it will ensure that to get anywhere at all mc is entirely dependent on G’s patronage and good graces which also means mc will get contracts that are so bad they’re worth less than the paper they’re written on, at least for the mc.

@EvilChani

and rather deal with them

Yes, all things being equal Blake is still a hot boy in leather and Avina is not so that would tilt it to Blake by default even if all else was equal. It’s kinda sad because professionally at least Blake and mc could really help each other out since mc is extremely good at songwriting and lyrics while Blake has all the other makings of a superstar but has mediocre songs and outright shit lyrics to work with.

[Maldron]

@parisgracex

Isn’t the next part of chapter 2 the home visit btw???

Don’t think so. Maybe in the next chapters. Right now the MC will have to make a damn good song and sing it. But I think there will some kind of catch. Otherwise it would be too easy.

[icyLucy]

Eh I’m all for dramas

[Maldron]

@icyLucy

But what if i kiss the both of them in front of the cameras

I would say that is a win.
