Guys pinky promise this fandom won't die too soon after tgb releases.

Forever grateful to be a part of the tig fandom and meet so many new people. 🫶🏻

I don't like when people say "tgg grayson is too different from tig grayson, I liked him better in tig, he is not like he used to be..." babe that's like the whole point, he is supposed to be different now, he was so emotionally constipated during tig and also hurting, why would you want him to stay like that?? He is going to therapy and he is learning which is good, let the boy be his real annoying yapping self, he earned it.

Promise me we’ll all come back to life and have the biggest discussion ever once tgb is out🙏🏻

AVERY APPRECIATION POST

Just so you know, Avery Kylie Grambs is not the damsel in distress!!! I'm not going to spoil this but you have no idea what she did in TGB. She's a Genius, mastermind billionaire, even Tobias Hawthorne should take notes from his grave!!! SHE HAS A PLAN. If you hate her, with respect EFF YOU!!! If you love her then you are going to love her more. I'ma just pretend the epilogue doesn't exist.

For @moonlitbrews

THE GIRL WHO GOT AN EARLY COPY SAID WE SHOULD READ THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PART OMG???? it's either another tig book or about the adaptation or maybe her new book's title in the list of her books but that doesn't count as the acknowledgements does it?

[beautifulmusicengineer]

The Hawthorne brothers are ''pick me'' and ''I'm not like the other girls'' but no one is ready for this conversation

The Hawthornes and Avery are doing to others, what Tobias did to them. Showing that the cycle is repeating itself.

I get that Avery donated all the money, which I think was the right thing to do. But cycles don't end by giving wealth away, they break by you deciding you want to change. It seems to me that the Hawthornes have not changed, and Avery has decided to live like them.

What did Tobias do to all the characters in the OG trilogy? He placed a game in front of them, and proceeded to play them from beyond the grave. The funny part is that the characters could have stopped at any given time, but willingly chose to continue (despite them complaining about it). To be completely honest, there is no reason as to why they needed to know why Avery got the inheritance. Yes that's the storyline, but if you think about it nothing bad would have happened if Avery had just stayed in the house for the year and didn't play Tobias's game. They have nothing to gain/lose by knowing, everything was still left to Avery and nothing for the Hawthornes regardless on them playing the game.

Avery and the Hawthornes are doing the same thing, but they seem to be very oblivious about it. The Grandest Game is about giving people a chance to win 17 million dollars by winning the game, but the people in the game have legitimate reasons to play. If Lyra doesn't play she'll lose her family home/not be able to go to college, if Rohan doesn't play he'll lose the Devil's Mercy etc. Point being Rohan and Lyra have things to lose if they don't play the game. I know someone who works in Public Trustee (dealing with wills and stuff) and they said something regarding their clients "Money brings out the worst of people". If you place 17 millions dollars on the line, realistically people will do terrible things to get it, hence the mishaps in the story.

I made a post about how I didn't like TFG, one thing I didn't mention was that none of the characters seemed to learn anything from the trilogy. I thought by the end they would understand that not everything is a game, you can't do whatever is takes to win, fighting dirty is wrong regardless on if you win, you can't treat people like a pawn/game etc. By the end, nobody has learnt their lesson, and because they didn't learn anything, the cycle is repeating itself. What angers me is that Lyra has done the right thing throughout the entire story and she is directly affected by the Hawthorne's tone deafness and ignorance when it comes to wealth. It also angers me that people like Lyra exist in the real world, we have so many billionaires and the working class are paying the price for it. I get that it's just fiction, but then again in someways, fiction mirrors the real world.

Thank you @beautifulmusicengineer for suggesting this!

[beautifulmusicengineer-deactiva]

EXACTLY!!!!!! and that's where the contradiction becomes impossible to ignore, Avery says she donated the money because she understands how destructive wealth can be yet she immediately turns around and builds a game where money is the central motivator, if she truly believed money shouldn't control people, then creating a 17 million dollar game makes no sense, you can't reject the system and then use the same incentive to drive people into desperation. What makes it worse is her stated intention, she wanted people to experience what she experienced first with her mother's games then in the Hawthorne house but she didn't need money, power imbalance or real world consequences to do that, she could've created a contained, voluntary game inspired by her journey where people could engage intellectually without risking their homes, futures or safety, instead she chose replication over translation. As you said Tobias games worked on Avery and the brothers because they have the privilege to walk away, the players in the grandest game don't, for Lyra and others this isn't curiosity or growth it's survival. Once money becomes the hook, the game stops being about experience and starts being about coercion.

So donating the money doesn't prove growth it just proves she moved the money while keeping the same mindset. She didn't break the cycle Tobias created she stepped into his role, rebuilt the structure and called it opportunity.

That's why it feels so frustrating the cycle isn't ending, it's just being JUSTIFIED.

[the-tig-essay-writer]

I was really hoping there would be a moment where they thought to themselves "we're becoming just like the old man" or something like that, just to give them a wake up call. Savannah and Lyra can see it, but they have no self awareness.
