#me & my brother are 10 years apart so that’s a whole other dynamic

[tortoisebore]

originally reblogged the sibling post but then it made me feel itchy so here i am again

im the youngest of 4!! all of them are my half siblings, but saying "half sibling" is more of a family tree thing than an actual relationship thing. two brothers on my moms side, one sister on my dads. ive only met my sister maybe 5 times, her and my dad have never been on good terms. my middle brother and i are best friends despite the age difference and my oldest brother lives across the country but we try to talk often. youngest children get shit for getting the most attention from their parents, and although i think thats true and i could write a 10 page essay on the shitty ways my parents treated my middle brother compared to me, but there are completely unfair expectations for every child, and i think it isnt right to say that all that attention was always good attention. very fortunate to have a good relationship with my brothers, though, its made a lot of days easier! im the only fire sun of my siblings and my middle brother and i are a menace together since hes a scorpio! love him sm

YES YES YES 100% YES

allllll placements within the family are different and as the oldest sibling it sometimes feels like the younger kids have it easier but they DON’T—their experiences are just different!

like, my oldest-younger sister & i grew up with extremely strict conservative christian parents, but thankfully they’ve turned around a lot in the last couple of years and have become more lenient and progressive. but parenting-wise, it’s like night & day between the two oldest siblings in our family and the two youngest

it looks from the outside like my brother has zero rules—he doesn’t have to do chores, he can be on his computer all day unsupervised without anyone constantly checking his browser history, watch whatever he wants, etc. and the parts of me that are still bitter at how my parents raised me is sometimes like ‘that’s not fair.’

BUT, my brother doesn’t have the same structure that gave me an early sense of responsibility that i cherish now as an adult, he doesn’t have multiple siblings in the house with him to keep him company so he spends a lot of time alone, and the attention he does finally get is often negative for grades, behavior, etc. it’s also hard for him to be the only boy, and come after my sister and i, who were both always on our best behavior, had great grades without trying, and ‘respected’ our parents (really we were just too afraid of punishment to argue back), so my brother gets deemed ‘difficult’ just bc he came after two ‘easy’ daughters. it’s hard for me to watch the way he’s treated and spoken about sometimes because i can recognize his experience now, so i’m always his #1 defender in any situation, even when he might be in the wrong. fighting anyone that comes after him also means punching at my own family sometimes lmaooo but u gotta do what u gotta do

it’s such a huge relief to be close with them despite all of these weird & changing dynamics, i’m so glad that you’re close with your brother! at the end of the day our siblings are the people we spent the most time with and the ones that i feel like we see ourselves the most in, good and bad. like, there are pieces of me in each of my siblings and pieces of each of them in me, and even when it doesn’t always manifest in a positive way, those are the parts of myself i’m most fond of

*JWCT SPOILERS* very messy first thoughts

OH BOY here we go

-ben and darius's dynamic was epic. the hug. the roadtrip scenes. "is your friend okay?" "no 😊". ben getting darius out of his isolation cabin and darius grounding him in ep2. the parallels with s3ep7. "you kiss your mother with that mouth?" i'm gonna be thinking about that scene for days. their ship is still a swim to me but please they better keep whatever the fuck they have going on in s2 because it's fucking wonderful

-i love that they took the chance to give more light to duos we didn't see much in jwcc. teamups we didn't often see like ben and sammy, THE B-DUO, and darius and sammy got very special moments here

-the amount of pictures/videos from the six years in between??? the brooklynn flashbacks??? we were so well fed

-BRAND!!!!!! i got so happy when i heard him the first episode, he's clearly been checking on his brother and i'm glad he's ok

-bowman family FEAST. brand and darius talking over the phone. the pictures on the cabin. kenji saying he calls mrs. bowman once a week and all the nice things he said about her. the whole mess between kenji and darius. "we're brothers, right?" i died dead. i love this family your honor

-sammy. she's got so much going on and we desperately need to talk about it. i'm so worried about her, she's desperately trying to avoid confronting what happened with brooklynn, with yaz and her own trauma, and then they casually dropped on us that her family isn't speaking to her and never elaborated on that?? sammy, who's love and care for her family was her biggest motivation in jwcc?? i need to know what happened because it must've been big

-mateo!! i liked him a lot, he definitely doesn't want to get into any of this mess but still dabbles around a bit to help the kids, which i respect. also i hope we get to meet his daughter hiraya, she sounds really cool

-MS MICROBANGS (or the handler, or whatever name we're calling her). what is her deal. who is she working for. she's so uncanny, literally almost robotic i need to know more about her

-brookenji over i cheered. don't take this personally i've never been a fan of this ship and a part of me knew they weren't going to last long

-the animation increased in quality so much. the scene after ben, yaz and sammy get out of the sinking van is so well done it's so pretty to look at. and the t-rex with the explosion behind her? it reminds me so much of toro in the tunnels in s1ep8, and i haven't tested this out but i feel like if you put them one next to the other the improvement would be so noticeable.

-also related to the point above: that thing when a character's eyes start filling up with tears but they don't cry just yet? 10/10. chef's fucking kiss

-sure jwct has the same tv-y7 rating as jwcc, but from minute 1 it's obvious it's not the same audience they're talking to. it's not a big change in tone, like for example adventure time/distant lands/fionna and cake, but it's there, you can tell they know it's not little kids watching anymore

-BUMPY IS HAVING A BABY BUMPY IS A MOM NOW they had me shit scared for her and then they pulled a freaking egg my heart was literally pounding. anyways i hope they get both bumpy and the egg somewhere safe and that they name the new anky "speckles" (i've gotten so attached to that name in the last 24 hours it's insane)

-YASAMMY THE QUEENS THAT YOU ARE. their relationship was stellar this season, i was scared when i saw that they were apart but their issues felt organic to their relationship and i just love how they were written in the show, they are still so in love with each other and i can't wait to see where they go next season. they're everything to me

-yeah they were apart for half the season but. benji crumbs. the egg cradle scene. kenji helping ben after he got hit with the stun gun. basically all they did was act like they knew each other but idc. we are so back.

-the brooklynn reveal was... meh?? it could've been more rewarding if they waited until s2 to reveal she's still alive, but at least i hope they take their time before reuniting her with the rest of the camp fam. also i can't believe ppl even guessed what arm she was going to lose y'all have prophetic powers or smth

-bringing daniel back to kill him the same episode was an insane move btw. i would've normally complained but it's all worth it for causing the panic attack scene in ep7. kenji's reaction felt so genuine, i'm forever in awe at how well this show writes grief and trauma

-i'm so conflicted about darius's confession. i like dinostar, but i feel like it wasn't needed for darius to be in love with brooklynn to explain the voicemails and the way he was dealing with her death. she was one of his closest friends, his grief made sense even with them being platonic. on the other hand, i love how he admitted it to kenji and the fact they didn't turn it into a huge fight between them; also, "i didn't know i could even feel that way" aroace/acespec darius truthers never lose

-maybe it's just that i need to rewatch, but i'm lost as to where they're going next season?? i know they're getting on a boat but where does that go?? what are they trying to do?? there's so much happening my head is spinning

-ben... he kind of felt like the comic relief for most of the show, the first episodes showed him as being really paranoid again and struggling with being alone, but halfway through the season they just sort of forgot about it?? idk something was off

-bring back kenji's old latin spanish va idk who this guy is but that is not kenji i can't do this. i'll survive the loss of ryan potter but i won't survive this

anyways yeah i think those are most of my uncooked thoughts, overall i really liked the season, i can't believe we got to see the kids again this is still so unreal to me

[yanderelucy2]

This is my first time posting on Tumblr so... help. Anyways this is Ikepri kids and how I think their kid/s would act. Note: I suck at English and languages in general. (Only Rhodolite princes btw!)

Chevalier Michel:

Either has one kid or seven. I only say seven because I think it would be cool if each kid represented one of the seven deadly sins. (I'm an obey me fan ok?!)

The first kid would be a badass daughter, no debate there. She would be just like her dad with the whole beast thing except she'll be a little more human with MC. I always think of her as Charlotte Roselei from Black Clover, so yes there will be a man that will make me more human than a beast.

I can do the seven deadly sin kid thing on another post or something.

Leon Dompteur

I headcanon maybe two kids but with a pretty big age gap. I think it would be a son and then maybe like 10 years later or something they have a daughter, only because I think it would be super cute of a dynamic where the older brother keeps his sister safe and takes her to have a bunch of fun.

The son would be a semi-troublemaker because Jin and Clavis encouraged the bad behavior. He will grow out of it and end up training under Licht to then rule Leon's army. He would look like MC but with Leon's color palette.

The daughter will look almost identical to Leon. She has MC's personality though and they often read together, when she's older though she likes to read stories at an orphanage. She seems like a popular well like a princess in Rhodolite, she will also praise her brother any chance she gets.

Jin Grandet

Probably have like four kids. Three girls and then the last is a boy. The girls though give very big sister energy and are very protective over their little brother.

The first two would be besties because they would have maybe a year or months apart of an age gap, then the third sister would be born three years later. The youngest little son would be born two years after.

All the girls grow up with a pretty big bust because of Jin's genetics. The second would look like MC while the rest of the kids look more like Jin. The boy grows up to be a lot more respectful to women than his dad was, mainly because his sisters beat the respect into him.

(This one was so difficult!)

Licht Klein

Probably one son at first, plan for one until three years later because he seems a little lonely. The second would be a boy although Licht was hoping for a girl.

The son would be very energetic and happy a lot, has his dad's sweet tooth though. Really likes to bake with Yves, but doesn't like how Yves shows affection so will always be sassy back. Looks like MC, but with Licht's color palette.

The other son would look like MC in every aspect, but the eye color. This kid is a little quieter, but the second you talk about swords or military things he will be so content and talk with you a lot, he has Licht's singing skills. Sadly he has bits of Nokto's personality with women when he's older. Overall he and his brother will just hang out in town and spar for practice sometimes... this normally is done without Licht knowing.

Nokto Klein

A pair of twins. It's a pair of boy twins, they're fraternal though so one looks like MC, and the other looks like Nokto.

Nokto told them not to tell others they're twins. Nokto was also really scared about the whole twins' thing after what happened when he was younger, but it ended up fine because MC was the most gentle mother ever.

The older twin is a little arrogant child because he has his dad's looks and when he's older he's a bit more shy and timid because he was rejected by his crush when he like like 14. He has Licht's sweet tooth though, so they often eat MC and Yves' sweets.

The younger twin is a very kind child that loves animals, especially rabbits because they remind him of his mom. He grows up to be a favorite of the town folk and he's known for being gentle. His enemies think he's aggressive though and he and his brother get really aggressive when in battle. They have the best coordination though and will always make sure the other is safe.

Luke Randolph

One girl, that's it. Luke is a wonderful dad, but he got kind of overprotective and aggressive with the first kid, Luke was too worried for her.

She would look like MC in many aspects but would have Luke's ferocity in her eyes which would fear some people, this made her tend to avoid eye contact. She was still a very gentle girl, but also very beautiful and Luke wouldn't stop worrying about other men doing something to her, so anytime she would go out he would accompany her. She once told him off and he realized "Maybe I am doing a bit much."

Overall a wonderful beautiful girl, but her Dad has some issues to fix... when she was young they would play a lot though, and got along he just needed to loosen up.

Clavis Lelouch

Three kids, two boys, and one girl. The girl is the middle child, but do not be fooled she is just like her dad and her brothers want a break. They all have a 2 year age gap.

The oldest looks like MC and acts like MC, the only thing is he hates his dad's pranks and will often hide with Chev in his private library to read in peace. He would get along with Chev, but he would get jealous of Chevie's abilities and at times would avoid him.

The middle girl is in absolute chaos. She loves pranking people with her dad, she loves to see a reaction from people. She used to prank her brothers a lot but realized that they distanced themself from her and excluded her a bit so she stopped. She likes attention like her dad, I mean she looks exactly like him except for her smile that shines just like her mom's smile.

The youngest son looks like his dad, he enjoys the attention from girls, but he would never tell. He likes to seem like his older brother, all cool and mysterious disappearing at night and everything. It wasn't his thing though he would fall asleep after reading a book. He tried pranking but didn't like how people reacted toward him. He then just drowned himself in training and realized that a lot of ladies like a strong man.

Yves Kloss

He wanted a boy at first but ended up having a girl. Didn't complain though he's appreciative.

She is a very pretty woman, but as a girl, she was very sad because kids would make fun of her weight from all the sweets she ate. Luckily her dad would comfort her, and teach her everything he knew. She grew up, not skinny like everyone else but that's what everyone loved about her. How fresh and healthy she looked. She was a very kind gentle soul, but if you were to disrespect anyone in her family she will turn into the sassiest woman in town. She looked like both MC and Yves combined into one beautiful goddess.

i don't know if somebody already asked this but fabio quartararo x tony arbolino, romantic or platonic, what do we think about them?

also i read the pedrenzo ask and I wanted to say that my mom is convinced lorenzo is gay

I don’t think my mom knows the name of a single rider, your mom is amazing.

Now, my beloveds. First of all, I am so very fond of them and I’m so happy that Tony is thriving in Moto2 this year, go Tony.

Up until like last week, I thought they might have known each other since like 2019 or something (saw content of them from 2020) but then in the Fab 4 video Fabio hit us with the very important information that they’ve known each other for over 10 years? ie the beginning of their teenage years? I’m not saying that changes everything but it sure does put a new perspective on their relationship to my brain.

I adore the dynamic where Fabio & Tom are both parenting Tony and I love the dynamic where Tom is definitely parenting the both of them (while we all wonder how he keeps his sanity intact). They keep calling each other brother and that’s how I mostly see them, as best bros.

Although, I will say, I am not against a little friends with benefits situation between the two of them, or I could see Tony with a crush on Fabio, for sure. Long time romantic relationship I’m having a harder time imagining. Considering they’re also only a year apart, I could def read a fic where they’re each other first everything (boyfriend, love, time, etc) and it doesn’t work once they both become adults but they’re both mature about it and stay super close friends anyway.

One last thing I need to say : the whole Tony is the only guy that handles me and I handle him and he comes and when I meet him, I’m more relaxed stuff from the Fab 4 video? I am never recovering from that!! And it calls for some D/s fics, just saying.

My main two problems with season four of lab rats

Hello, my name is Ace and I have been a fan of lab rats since it was first airing 10 years ago and looking back on the show I’ve always prefered seasons 1-3 over season 4. As time went on I just assumed that it was because I was growing up and had outgrew the silliness of disney sitcoms but upon rewatching all four seasons back to back in the past week I’ve realised that their are two main problems with season four that really bug me so I decided to plague you all with my thoughts.

1) The students 

The biggest difference between season four to the three previous seasons is the fact that season four takes place in an academy. With this big change comes a lot of little ones, one of the biggest loses in my opinion was that Adam Bree Chase and Leo were now supirior figures and not a group of reckless teenagers messing up their dads inventions. 

Something that stayed the same was the lack of speaking recurring characters and that the extras never talked.

During the first three seasons this was easy to explain: the Davenport kids weren’t popular and kept to themselves mostly so it made sense for them to not have many interactions with people outside of their family. But when they’re teaching a bunch of kids with nothing to hide it becomes a lot more noticeable that none of these students ever talk.

Throughout the season eight of the students have some form of importance/speaking roles

Sebastian

Lexi

Tank

Spin

Bob

Kate

Taylor

Logan

Out of these eight characters only two appear in more then three episodes, those being Spin and Bob (though Spin only lasts for five episodes) the rest are used for one storyline and then dropped completely.

Bob is the only student to have a speaking role throughout the season and he's a very one note character, he's there to bounce off of Adam and is personally one of my favorite additions to the show but when you look at the bigger picture so much was lost with only giving us one real student character.

These kids have been through a lot. It’s unclear really of what they have been through but in season three they refer to each other as brothers and sisters and have no memory apart from that fact, I feel like if Disney had played with this more we could've gotten some really interesting dynamics apart from them sometimes acting like they hardly know each other.

The students in the academy are as disinterested in the Davenports as the students in Mission Creek and its quite annoying when the writers refuse to give any of the students personalities or voices. There are multiple times throughout the show where they should’ve had some say. For example when Chase used the override app on his students I think it would have meant so much more if one of them had something to say about it instead of them all just letting Chase do whatever he wants. One of the main statements that get repeated a lot when referring to Adam Bree and Chase is “Their not just science projects, they're teenagers,” but with the students it feels like the opposite.

This might not be that big of a deal or stand out as much if the students did not play such a huge part in season four. The whole season is pretty much dedicated to them and multiple episodes revolve around them, including the last episode of Lab Rats ever.

The main conflict of that episode is that all of the students have began to disappear (hence the name “The Vanishing”)  so the main characters go after them and in all honesty I couldn’t care less about the students.

We don’t even get to see the small amount of characters that we had already met, the only students that have speaking roles in that episode is Bob and Daniel and while watching the episode I began to realise how little sense it made that the two youngest and less trained people in the room were the only ones doing anything.

It’s actually funny watching a 13 year old boy who has just shown up take the leadership role amongst a bunch of teenagers who are clearly not only older then him but way stronger and more trained, yet for some reason Daniel (and Bob) are the only ones concerned about anything thats going on, the others aren't even listening to them they're just all in their own groups talking. 

I don't know if anyone reading this has watched the movie Chicken Run but in that movie the plot in the beginning is that theres this farm of chickens and despite they all know they’re in danger and are at risk of being killed at any moment only one of them is trying to escape while the rest of them just watch this one chicken try to get out and hope for the best without actually being that bothered if they succeed or not. That's what watching the students in this episode felt like.

It would've been so cool to see the original four spend an entire season teaching these kids everything they learnt about in the past three seasons and then see the students use what they learnt against Gisselle rather then just watch Bob make jokes and Daniel (who has only been in one previous episode) do all the talking, which brings me onto my next point.

2) Daniel

Yeah we all saw this coming. 

Now don’t get me wrong I actually really like Daniels character and enjoyed the scenes that he was in. The problem was that there was literally no reason for him at all.

Daniel is introduced when there are only two hour long episodes left of the entire show, one of these episodes he doesn’t even appear in, the only logical reason that I can think of for them including Daniel was to introduce him for elite force but he isn’t even in elite force at all. 

In fact you could tell me that the actor playing Daniel had been a contest winner who got to appear in their favorite show and I wouldn’t question it at all because it doesn't even make sense if they were running out of ideas. There were only four episodes left surly they could’ve thought of anything else. 

Daniel sort of ruins the entire ending to the show. We had just spent four seasons watching the sibling bond between Adam, Bree, Chase, and Leo grow and develop into (at least in my opinion) one of the best on screen sibling relationships. To randomly add another sibling and then not even do anything with him was beyond lazy because unlike the introduction of Douglas the show clearly wasn’t planning this until the last minute.

Not only do I think that it would’ve made more sense if Douglas had gone after Daniel while he was still evil opposed to giving bionics to random people he met off the streets or making androids (like in avalanche where he tried to recruit Chase) but it also makes no sense when you look at Adam Bree and Chase.

Firstly there's the problem with the timeline. Douglas claims that when Donald took Adam Bree and Chase, Daniel was just a baby, meaning that Daniel already existed when Donald took the trio. He then says that Daniel is currently 14 years old. But in season 3 during the episode you posted what, Donald says that he’s had Adam Bree and Chase in the lab for 16 years. So at that time Daniel had to had been at least 16 if he already existed when Donald took them.

Not only does it not make sense with the time but it doesn’t make sense with the abilities either. Starting with Chases override app where he can control Adam and Bree. It makes sense that he can control Adam and Bree because they are his siblings but why can’t he do it to Daniel. Keeping in mind that obviously Douglas was never planning on having them be seperated. In addition to this you have the part in rise of the secret soldiers where Adam Bree and Chase combine their bionics to defeat Krane. Why would you only need three of the four siblings to do that? 

You could argue that since Daniel was created after Chase that Douglas just never thought of that or never got round to adding Daniel to Chases apps but still.

Another thing is I don’t like his powers. Maybe if Daniel had something that none of the other bionic kids had his existence would make more sense writing wise but his ability is literally just using anyone elses ability. It adds nothing new to the power dynamics of the show. 

Also if we go back to the vanishing it infuriates me even more. Daniel’s role in the vanishing should’ve been given to Leo. And it would’ve made a lot more sense if it was.

Not only is Leo THE MAIN CHARACTER (which too many people seem to forget) but ending his arc the way they ended Daniels (if you could call it an arc) would’ve had a lot more pay off.

So imagine if the finale went like this.

Leo gets ahead of himself and gives himself and wants the upgrade so he figures out a way to give it to himself. (going back to Leos development as a inventor which has been growing throughout the seasons)

Leo goes missing along with the rest of the students

Leo is the one to take charge with the students and is the one doing the most to get them out (and even though there's still the problem with the students doing fuck all it makes a little more sense since Leo is a mentor rather then Daniel who is, like I said, the least trained.)

Giselle uses Leo as bait (much more effected since we actually care about Leo)

The only thing I can’t get round is how Adam, Bree, Chase and the students escape without Leo but I’m sure we can figure something out.

Marcus reveals himself and starts hurting Leo in front of Donald.

(Something that I loved in season one was Donald and Leos relationship. Donald wanted so badly to be a good step father to Leo and I really enjoyed their dynamic. As seasons went on we saw less and less of them and I think having Donald and Leos father/son relationship be a main focus would be a much better option then Douglas, Marcus and Daniel considering we only just met Daniel and haven't seen Marcus for two seasons)

In the end Leo defeats Marcus (WHICH IS HOW IT SHOULD’VE BEEN ANYWAY!!!! WHAT PAY OFF DO WE HAVE BY SEEING THE NEW GUY DEFEAT ONE OF THE OLDEST VILLAINS??)

This is jsut my personal opinion but I do believe that this would be a much better ending for not only Leo but the whole show rather then what Leo really ends up doing (which tbh I can’t even remember what he does in that episode apart from getting the bionic kids out)

Overall Daniel just makes no sense whatsoever and takes away more from the show then he adds to the point where the majority of the Lab Rats fans I have spoken to either forget that he exists all together or just simply refuse to acknowledge his existence. He’s a cool character and I like his personality but in the end a fourth/fifth Davenport siblings was the last thing the show needed.

Anyways, yeah thats my overcomplicated rant of a season of a children's tv show that aired ten years ago. Cheers for reading if you’re still here and feel free to tell me if you agree or disagree. Please remember that this is just my opinion and if you loved season 4 there is obviously nothing wrong with that I’m just a twat on the internet :)

BOOK RECAP

He's Not My Type by Meghan Quinn

January 23, 2024-

Synopsis:

Word to the wise, never become roommates with a girl you’ve been pining over for the better part of a year.

You’re probably wondering why I would do such a thing? Well, I didn’t.

It was my teammates.

The moment they found out Blakely White was single, they took it upon themselves to play cupid and instruct me on how I should win her over.

Don't wear a shirt around her. Make her dinner. Lightly touch her shoulder when you say goodbye.

I'm so flustered, so overwhelmed, so madly in love with this woman who barely notices me, that I lose control of the situation and make one huge mistake: I offer to be her fake date for a wedding so she can make her ex jealous.

That means, for one whole night I get a free pass with her. I get to hold her, dance with her, kiss her…stare at her from across the room like she’s my entire world because she has been for months now.

But when the night comes to an end, I’m faced with two options: bring her back to my bedroom and show her how I really feel, or let her walk away, succumbing to the fact that I very well might not be her type.

My Thoughts:

Oh my goodness OBSESSED. Total rom-com and I think one of my faves by Meghan Quinn with this book 4 of the Vancouver Agitators series. They can all be read as stand alones but they're part of a bigger universe.

The story follows Blakely who works as VIP Guest coordinator (unofficial title) for the Agitators where she meets Halsey Holmes. From their first interaction he is enamored by her and he's about to ask her out when she reveals she has a boyfriend so for the next year he secretly (not so secretly since the rest of the boys know) pines for her. When his teammate Posey finds out she is single they hatch a plan to get him and Blakely together and thus chaos ensues. She ends up staying at Halsey's place since she has some issues with her apartment and they begin to get close. Things don't start too well and Halsey struggles with opening up since he is still processing his grief over his twin brother dying a couple years back, but with time they both see different sides to each other. When he ends up offering to take her to a wedding to avoid awkwardness, their dynamic completely changes.

Meghan has such a good way to interconnect her books' universes and their storylines. What I really enjoy is her ability to balance light hearted and romantic stories with some of life's hardest experiences. She's also so good at bringing in beloved characters from the earlier books in the series without having them overtake the story. Overall I think my favorite thing about this book was the slow and genuine development of this love story. Obviously the humor is great too and there's an incredibly touching scene toward the end of the book between the boys' with such a lovely display of the emotional dynamic they have. I literally almost bawled my eyes out reading it because there was something so special about it.

The spice was 10/10 sooooo good! Meghan's books have a really good balance of smut and plot, where both are just as good as the other. The way that he has pined so long for her and once they finally get together and he expresses how truly feral he is for her omfg DREAM. MAN.

Overall I think we truly get a solid development of their journey together and I would say more so of Halsey's journey through grief. My one critique would be that I think he confronts that grief a little too late into the book (literally the last 2 chapters) and I think it would be nice to have seen a little more of that, it felt like it wrapped up very quickly that it felt a little unrealistic. Loved the introduction of OC into the group and the "Frozen Fellas" was so cute.

Would definitely recommend this book!✨
