I feel like that stupid meme “the greed they talk about in the bible” whenever I find myself wanting more Whitney content 😭 Eden fans are sitting in uncertain/future rewrite hell, Robin fans can expect an overhaul eventually, Kylar fans haven’t gotten SHIT in over a year, Sydney fans found dead in a ditch from starvation, Alex fans… seem content honestly, meanwhile Whitney/Avery/Gwylan fans have gotten the most content within the last year… and I still want MORE Whitney 😢 I’m never satisfied! Rapist Bully Simulator is how I enjoy DOL.
I just miss Whitney… I did like that he can steal your first kiss with a fish in the new update, though 💙 Shameless teenage boy is such a good character.
How did Vrelnir write such a fun and compelling character from a stock archetype as generic as “bully who harassed you because they’re into you and like power/control (whom may or may not be more than they seem)”? Whitney’s so interesting and I like how he flows together so naturally, as both a woman or a man!
I get it... If I were to be honest though, I think for Whitney they have a lot of content but are simultaneously lacking still because there's not as much content tailored towards other stuff in their day-to-day life (their relationships with their gang and how the overall town sees/treats them and their delinquent antics) I think it's easy to get wrapped up into thinking otherwise since other LIs are even MORE deprived in content, but all LIs are kinda half-baked in this regard.
I think Whitney's interesting to me because a lot of media doesn't usually expand on unapologetic rapists tbh. They're usually very one-off or just the reader's self-insert, or if they do get expanded, they're softened/white washed. DoL at least, keeps the idea that Whitney is still a POS rapist whilst revealing some deeper desires/emotions as time goes on (although I'm a bit worried they'll eventually soften this with some of the future interactions)
