"#saying it now though: if they make joe and nicky fight bc they can't come up with an interesting side-plot for them -#- then i am throwing hands"

GODDDD, this. I was kind of wondering if greg would go in that direction after the interview quote of him saying that they do have arguments, but that has evolved into full-blown fear after that RIDICULOUS lacus solitudinis story (ie: the straightest, laziest writing ever); if they do fight in TOG 2 i hope it 1) is minor 2) is well-written (i've read well-written arguments between them in fic - it IS possible!!) 3) doesn't revolve around freakin' BOOKER (🙄🙄🙄)

Yep, this is a real fear. ;_; I'm so with you though, like if they do write in some conflict I hope it's just done well and doesn't feel tacked on or unnecessary. Obviously they fight sometimes (I mean they killed each other sdfgds and their relationship has spanned over 900 years), but I don't think we're all asking for much when we just want to see a genuinely happy gay couple stay happy (and see them communicate or resolve in healthy, non-toxic ways!!). There are all sorts of interesting things they can do with Joe and Nicky's side-plot that doesn't wind up reducing them to some pointless hetero-coded drama. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best!!

And you're right, there are so many well-written fics in this fandom that address conflict between Joe and Nicky and how they ultimately resolve it in healthy ways. If the movie disappoints, at least we have our peers. ;;;
