Status Updates From East Coast (Carnal Cryptids...

These love declarations don’t feel genuine. It’s more like we’re being told they’re in love so we have to believe it. The connection shown so far doesn’t mirror that emotion. It all seems more lustful and sexually charged than anything else.

It doesn’t surprise me that she just came back to them, immediately forgave them and now they’re immediately going over to having BDSM sex. Because of course. Who needs proper talking and relationship building.

So Penn and Will have a D/S dynamic and are familiar with true consent, communication and most importantly safe words. Non of that curtesy was afforded to Desi when it would’ve counted. A good dom should’ve never let things get as far as they did. Showing once more that she wasn’t more than a means to an end. At least at the time. Still all seems mostly like lust.

Like I predicted, she came back to them. All it took was a line of the poem she was named after.

Her body and mind are already telling her to go back to them. Will only be a matter of time now and I’m guessing it won’t take much if any groveling at all from the guys for her to welcome them back with open arms.

More lore questions. apparently as a Believer you’re not supposed to be able to leave after a certain point. Does that mean anyone can bond with one and it’s just a first come first serve kind of deal?

Penn claims Concepts are instinctually driven to protect and cherish Believers. They have shown her the exact opposite. This is also another piece of missing lore up to this point. If they need fear from the Believer and not regular belief or love, then that would contradict wanting to protect them. At least emotionally.

Now she’s finally showing some backbone (although that probably won’t last long) and the guys are immediately all butt hurt and acting like she’s the bad guy. Men.

Desi has turned into a proper sex doll for them. She’s got a spine as straight as a cooked noodle.

JD admits that he was so far on the bring of death that his inner monster had taken over to a point where Desi could’ve been permanently harmed. Will and Penn were fine with gambling with her life to safe JD. Which again shows her standing. She’s an object that can help, not a person who should be respected.

She’s a martyr. She’d let them to anything to her as long as it benefited them, I guess.

Again with the coerced "consent". As we know, coercion is not true consent. It’s rape. Oh and more body betrayal.

WTF! They’re dumping her in the woods, naked, to chase her and scare the living shit out of her without warning but sure, they’re all about consent. And she has a good old case of bbs. It’s again all about what they can get from her and not about her well-being. Not hurting her my ass. They were rough with her, no consent or safe word in sight.

And suddenly Will has a burner phone on him with Penn‘s number as the only one already in it. Just for funsies I guess.

Also, sure, leave the best friend alone with another Concept and go back to having sex. Letting the girl you first held hostage, then coerced, who was then kidnapped and feared for her own life (again) and that of her friends, bot digest any of it.

Lore has inconsistencies. If the monsters are born from people believing in them, then that must mean they can also be reborn as long as there are enough believers. So even if they’re consumed by an adversary, as long as there’s still believers they must be able to come back. And if that isn’t how it works, why not?

I mean, I don’t mind an FMC saving herself instead of waiting for men to do it, but the MMCs were pretty much useless in this scene. Waiting around all the time and multiple times waiting for someone else to intervene (the girls and Dov).

And then the break the make out off because they want to get more of that power. Not because she might be afraid and in distress, but because they need something from her. I guess they’ll welcome her distress anyways, since it would feed them.

Sure, have a three way make-out session while you’re supposed to go rescue "your Believer". A short kiss to top off I get, making out and rubbing each others dicks, not so much.

They keep saying that it’s all about choice and her making it on her own, but their actions have contradicted that majorly.

While she’s back to having at least some conflicting emotions about what happened/is happening and talking to Penn, the other two don’t care and are still going at it. Telling me that her emotions and wellbeing are definitely a lower priority to them. Them saying they’ll cherish her and stuff just seems like lip service and a way to get her to do what they want.
