god I live for your roasts of Maggie bc they're EXACTLY what I've been fuckin angry about for a bit now? like ok, woman's got a way with words and is great at characterization but as a person I fuckin can't stand her. honestly I feel like she wrote blue as like the self-insert character (although she claims it's Ronan) and made blue very "I'm not like other girls" because that's how she secretly views herself. she has a very inflated view of herself and seems to believe she can do no wrong(cont)
when it comes to her writing and it bugs me so bad. she's like? a female John green tbh. I love Ronan but honestly the spinoff series could have been about literally anyone else (henry Cheng or Kavinsky would have been a lot more interesting) and her poc representation is abysmal. She claimed for forever that she wouldn't confirm/deny any characters race and yet in the books she made it painfully clear that Ronan was white on multiple occasions. like he can be white but if you're gonna (cont.)
claim that it's up to interpretation maybe don't heavily insinuate that Ronan is white in the text? just sayin. I know Nora Sakavic also had issues with poc rep in trc but at least she owned up to it on her blog and was like "yeah guys I fucked up there I'll do better with the next one I'm sorry" like damn Maggie take a page out of her book!!! ok I'm sorry for ranting but BOY I could go on forever she makes me so mad esp from my perspective as another author :^) 
oh dear okay so lemme address a few things in this bc who gives a single fuck u can unfollow if ur tired of me bitching about this anyway
1. i’m not a huge fan of her characterization bc if u look at ronan he literally goes from this angry dangerous asshole to a simple soft boy and i for one seem to have missed that progression.
2. does blue even have a personality besides that she’s a Cool Girl not like the others? idk i can’t remmeber it tbh
3. i dont care abt her as a person i just cant stand her as an author like,, okay ppl make mistakes its not the end of the world but maybe fucking perhaps own up to those mistake?just fucking say “yeahi fucked up” when u know how many young ppl read ur books dear god. i personally cannot wait for nora’s new content bc i know she won’t disappoint me, she made some mistakes in tfc but she was a first time author, unlike maggie, and i know she listens to readers (and she still had more rep than maggie)
4. maggie needs to talk to real pocs and real teenagers so she can write them properly i dont want her going anywhere near pocs in her new stuff if she’s gonna do a shitty job again
