It’s not pointless if M learns from it and behaves better.
Eh, I’m not super interesting in lording being right over M’s head. I just like the “kill them with kindness” approach over “let’s validate M being a jerk by being a jerk back to them.”
MC: [is kind]
M: Is this foreplay?
still…admitting wrong doing is also something I would like to see .
was a victim of bullying as a kid . Saying ‘well she may have broke your arm! but look it traumatized her too! and now she stopped picking on peoples !’’ …well thats good and well…but I still want a freaking apologie…sheesh .
y’know ?
Plot twist: It is.
Is it a plot twist if that’s the plot of the game?
…
Oh gosh imagine if the MC was dating one of the other memebers of UB.
M: N… I think the Detective was hitting on me… I’m sorry.
N: … M, the detective apologizing for almost tripping you is not them hitting on you.
M: … the fuck?
M …check again, I-I’m sure that they’re up to something. No one’s nice without wanting anything in return.
N: [clutches their chest] [stifles a gasp]
N: [stretches their arms for a hug] Come here and let me love you, damn it!
M: shit shit, abort mission
being kind to a jerk…to me , its spell ‘Enabling’ . I know the approach of 'More kindness will change them ‘’ . But that doesn’t always work . I know this is a book and not real life of course…
But I go with my own personal experience , and in my book…pushing M to admit guilt would be my route to take . I think the ‘Kill with kindness’ may also work…but depand on the offence . If they do something real bad…then I’m knocking their ass off and make them admit guilt and apologize .
M: What, not you too?!
I actually don’t see that working. M doesn’t seem the type to dwell on things all that much, so I don’t see them actively apologizing. (Unless maaaaybe if they really screwed up.) Rather they’d move on and perhaps start to watch themselves better and try to make fewer mistakes.
I unleash Ava on their ass then…we’ll see
or better…unleash MOM on them ! LOL
MC: Mum…M…been super naughty!
R: Growl
M: Growl back
R: GROOOWWWWLLLL
M: Meow…
MC: [does anything at all]
M: They really got to stop messing with my head. Humans have such a weird way of showing love
Here’s the thing. M isn’t actively a jerk to the other memebers of Unit Bravo. I figure once they know they have nothing to worry about then they’re going to not be an asshole to the MC either.
They’ll even stop smoking as much for the MC!
Well at least my main MC does not have to worry about all those health issues from secondhand smoke now
That is so cruel oh my god. The things you guys come up with. Now I can’t get the image of M, this big bad vampire, being defeated easily by a dog whistle. Their Aquiles’ heel if you will.
Exactly. M may be a bit of an ass here and there but that’s just the way they are. I think all of UB see each other as family - and that includes grumpy M and angsty A. So I wager that the MC will one day be a part of this dysfunctional family too.
Also, thank you @rose-court for all your hard work. I know I haven’t helped even a little bit - because my memory is absolute trash and I don’t even remember what I had for lunch today much less what we have discussed months ago - but I’m sure I speak for all of us Whayhaveners that your efforts are truly appreciated.
I personally can’t wait to read about all the theories in an organized and cohesive manner.
Huzzah 3 cheers for @rose-court and everyone else that helped make this a reality!
Hip hip hooray!
I don’t mean to disturb momentum.
But I freaking love this:
