#mcl ng episode 03

[pequenaotaku]

Now that my shock, my embarrassment, my indignation, my sadness and my anger have passed, and I'm calmer… Yeah, there were a lot of feelings per second when that bomb was dropped on Roy's route.

Anyway, I ended up thinking of some theories, and I just wanted to put it on record.

Spoilers after the cut

01. Fake relationship I really want to believe that this relationship between Roy and Brune is something like a fake relationship. Something they're faking to deal with a personal situation because they're good friends, and everyone at the company got in on the game, in this case. It was actually very shocking when it was mentioned in the episode that the two of them are a couple, but precisely, it was very out of the blue! We never see the two of them interacting during the episodes, and suddenly they're a couple? Brune herself is only seen next to Elenda, practically. I had even gone so far as to wonder if they didn't have something. And within the episode, if you choose to have Happy Hour at home, she sends a message to Elenda, her friend, letting her know that she couldn't go to the party because of water infiltration at her mother's house, but she doesn't tell the own boyfriend? Plus, he's going to the party anyway. Roy is cool, I imagine he would offer to help his girlfriend and mother-in-law with this problem. Something seems so strange to me… It could be my paronoia, still driven by the frustration from before despite everything. Another thing that I just remembered, but that I don't have all the facts gathered to support the argument, is that, in episode 1, when we go to the rest area for the second time, we find Brune and Elenda arguing about something mysterious. Elenda thinks Brune should impose herself on something, but she doesn't want to. I only chose the option of not interfering, so I don't know if it has any relation, and I also don't know if they explain a little without going into details if you choose the other options. But precisely because it doesn't have any context, it sounds suspicious to me. I mean, why would New Gen's screenwriters go to the trouble of creating a mysterious dialogue about an unresolved issue, which the protagonist even needs to witness before moving on with the story, so as not to use it later as a scheduling tool? Of course, we've only had two episodes so far to have context about this couple. Still, it's so strange. I love Brune, but she's really the last person I would imagine would be in a relationship with Roy. They just don't seem… on the same vibe? Of course I could be very wrong and end up breaking my face too. Premium Highlight for the moment in the scene when the protagonist goes all out to kiss Roy thanks to Truth or Dare, everyone thinks it's better not to, and even so Roy insists on at least giving her a little kiss on the cheek. I still don't know how to feel about this… 02. Relationship in ruins One thing I ended up thinking too, and this completely taking into account the description and title of episode 4:

"Hearts Looking For Love"

The entire Devenementiel team is meeting for coffee at Cozy Bear and, by force of circumstances, talking about relationships. The time has come to take stock of each person’s love situation…

It is also quite likely that, if Roy and Brune are indeed in a relationship, they may cut ties due to incompatibility. Like I said, they look very different from each other. That old law of physics about opposites attracting is beautiful in fiction, but realistically speaking, it doesn't usually work very well. Two people in a relationship who just disagree or don't have at least some tastes that they share and enjoy together can work like giving someone a rope to hang themselves. Speaking from experience. At the same time, I understand that for every rule, there is an exception. I just never saw it happen, but who knows? Anyway, that's not the point. This second theory of mine starts from: They are incompatible, or, somehow, the relationship had been cooling down for some time before the protagonist arrived at the company. In this next episode, they end up breaking up, and this generates the conversation at Cozy Bear. Perhaps the company group decided to get together to console one of the broken hearts and the conversation about the main theme of the episode ended up arising from this point. 03. Beemoov wrote another route about betrayal… Realmente não quero acreditar nessa, mas considerando que já fizeram uma vez, envolvendo o Eric, eles não precisam ter medo de fazer de novo, imagino… There's not much to say here other than what the title suggests. New Candy is officially a "Comedora de casados." "Affectionate" term that we give here in Brazil to people who go after people who are already committed to try to date them. Easy to sum it up as a lack of character. It's okay that, in her case, it was really unintentional, after all, she really didn't know. Still, it's comical and tragic that it happened twice in a row! One with Ioan and, for those following the route, another with Roy. And I thought that lightning couldn't strike twice in the same place. I laughed so nervously when this bomb was dropped, you have no idea…

In any case, what do you think? Do you agree with me, disagree with me, or have your own theories?

Ps: I think this all ended up coming out as a big rant…

Episode 03

"The Traditional Welcome"

Ah, the controversial (for some) and at the same time wonderful episode 3 of New Gen. What I can say for sure is that I liked everything in general. Relaxed atmosphere, good images, good scenes. The episode flew by for me, I couldn't believe it when it ended. And now we have to wait another month to see how the story unfolds…

I won't mention much here about the "Roy case", as I believe I have already said everything I think about this subject. But compared to Thomas, Devon, Jason and Amanda (the latter not so much, since, unfortunately, I can't get along with her), everything seemed adorable and charming. And, in Jason's case, intense and fun.

As the images of my two passions from Devenementiel are in different places, I needed to adapt the party location. So, the Welcome Happy Hour takes place, in its first half, in the park, with everyone together, and they end the night at Olivia's house, which is cozier, but unfortunately, not everyone was able to stay until the end. Colette was driven home by Thomas on his motorbike. I don't know if the game intends to do this at some point, but I decided to move things forward. She is the one who ends up wearing the helmet, so that the daisy crown doesn't fall apart on Thomas' head.

(In fact, here's my indignation that they didn't make a sprite of Thomas with a flower crown on his head. It's not like it would be difficult to add a small accessory to an already finished model. It would have been beautiful!)

In parallel, simply, Meredith and Jason are toasting success because of another contract done very well. I'm taking my steps to develop the scene better from the point of view of my headcanon. I promise not to leave you in the dark.

Not to forget, some pieces of clothing I wore were found on the Drive that @candysweetposts posted. Once again I reiterate: you are strong!

See you soon~

Fun fact: the very first time I met Brune and Elenda, my very first thought was "oh they totally are gay together".mu p

I'm sorting out the screens I took during the last episode, and just-

Like... Says the girl who doesn't show up and gets super cold if we don't pick the place she wants? Really? 😐️

I mean, you're pouting, a grown up adult who pouts at the mere idea of not getting what she wants. (Below is just before we pick a place.)

Honestly, how funny would it be if Jason was just bullshitting in the mall? So desperate to impress us diminish Devenmentiel because his widdle heart can't stand being seen as a loser by the new kid.

I just finished the third episode, eheh!

I'll try to space my posts on it so I don't flood the tags, but in the meantime, the fourth episode trailer is already waking my curiosity up. Can't wait to see all them react to Candy's revelation about her last boss ahah (screenshot below the cut).

Hi! If you too want to use a guide to play episode 03, this is the one I will personally use!

Nvm girls he texted me 🥰️💞️

“To my dearest,

I wonder how the stars could even think of expecting my survival in such a bleak existence without your sally to delight me… I miss you!

Your absence can only ever feel like a sting in my chest, a headache that would not let go, a tear in a window's glass breaking a magnificent landscape into a vision of sorrow and dread.

Please, my love, send me word soon, for I can only hope you did not forget me in the meantime, for I can only hope they are wrong by repeating loin des yeux loin du cœur.

With kindness, Your (I so hope still) beloved.”

Okay honestly the thing with Amanda is that she seems to really really like the park, if I remember correctly (it's been a while since I played the episode,, have mercy on me if I'm wrong) she revealed that she likes picnics and such and that she doesn't get the chance to go to the park that often, that's why it's so important to her? especially since it's also a tradition, to be fair I'd dislike candy more if she picked to have the party at her house where she got a pool and all that, it low-key feels like showing off to me? Also personally I would never invite my coworkers whom I barely know to my place, just saying 😭

Also, I could be slightly wrong because again, I don't remember it 100% but there was more to it than her wanting what she wants all the time or idk,,

I interpreted her "pouting" more as her trying to be intimidating so that Candy would pick the picnic? Like she's just a girl y'all, I think it's fair to dislike her but don't dislike her just because you misunderstood her 😭 she's literally such a nice girl when you get to know her I swear 😭😭

also yeah I'm defending her both because this is genuinely what I'm getting from her character but also because I'm so in love with her lmao
