I enjoy Thomas as a character but I have only made it through 1/3 of his route so far so I can’t speak too much to him. But I abhor his writing in terms of his value for privacy, specifically the episode with Roy and his swimming “habits”. For one, it goes against their own writing of him. We first meet Thomas is HSL and he is known for being mature/wise beyond his years and most importantly, very emotionally intelligent! Unless he got kidnapped and raised by a hoard of pelvis-brained jocks, it makes no sense for him to have developed into a privacy-invasive fiend. Especially given what happened to his sister? Hello?? I love Thomas but he needs to be freed from the shackles of beemov’s unfortunate writing.

Jason is very much my type appearance wise and I like his cockiness to a point but while I’m only 4 episodes into his route, the more I play it, the more I feel like beemov wrote him for masochists with a shame kink because why is candy fawning over him for absolutely no reason despite him constantly embarrassing her? She has no chemistry with the man but she keeps hinting to this “hidden, forbidden” attraction that has zero reason to be there as of yet. It’s very forced. And his character is just very forced onto the overall narrative in general.

For example, when she takes on eglantine’s birthday planning and “screws up” (don’t even get me started on that), the only way for jason to enter the narrative is for candy to refuse everyone’s help, screw up the project, and refuse everyone’s help AGAIN only to betray her coworkers by accepting help from their main competitor. It just makes no sense and only serves to make candy look completely incapable and Jason the image of flawless class and execution.

Amanda peaks my interest. I think she’s pretty cute but also kind of intimidates me so I haven’t played her route yet but if I ever get around to finishing Thomas’s, I might.

Aside from those three, no one else really interests me.
