I can go with Nate there because Ian has been pretty consistently a fake depressed lazy bum for a while now. Nate shuts the world out when he faces an inconvenience and goes into sadfag mode. And I actually think Ian has a more realistic bleak worldview whereas Nate just expects whores to love him and his clothes to impress them. When it falls apart, Ian just says “fuck it what else is new” whereas Nate becomes a wreck.
