#my post #the inheritance games #jennifer lynn barnes #the grandest game #the gilded blade

I need everyone to chill out because all of your discourse is in the way of my Avery and Lyra friendship dreams

Legitimately what it’s like coming back to this fandom having not been involved since The Final Gambit

My drafts are full because the inheritance games/grandest game fandom sort of truly scares me and I don’t want people to come for my throat for my opinions or take a joke the wrong way lmao. Like why is everyone so miserable? Why does everyone take everything so seriously? You guys frighten me 😅

#it’s mostly character stuff I’m terrified to post #I haven’t been involved in a fandom that polices what characters you can like or dislike like this in awhile #I don’t even ride for Jameson like that but the responses ive seen people who post even remotely positive things about him receive?! insane #but then you post about liking Lyra or Grayson and still get shit on somehow #there’s just no winning #lowkey afraid to even post this #everyone is fighting about everything #everyone is miserable #I’m scared to post my thoughts or opinions or jokes #I feel like I have to put a disclaimer on everything or justify myself #I thought it was bad when we were all fighting about team jameson vs team Grayson for Avery #who knew it would actually be worse when they weren’t after the same girl anymore #my post #commentary #the inheritance games #jennifer lynn barnes #the grandest game #the gilded blade

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

jameson's pov chapters are just him desperately trying to hold back a massive panic attack let's be nice to him

#thinking about avery crazy style to avoid killing himself immediately #<<<prev #and I’m kind of here for it #I’ve always said his character could use a little desperation #the inheritance games #the grandest game #jameson hawthorne #jameson winchester hawthorne #javery #the gilded blade

How it started: a billionaire dies and leaves you all his money, eccentric puzzles and riddles left by said billionaire, attractive grandsons, love triangles, teenage drama with a little flair, etc.

Where we ended: secret cult of female assassins, memory wiping, faked deaths, secret societies, etc.

I’m only exaggerating a little when I say that this series somehow took me on a riverdale-esque journey.

#again very CW #idk like the writing in this second trilogy and specifically finale book is just GOOFY sometimes #it’s a different brand of melodrama than the original trilogy and I can’t say I prefer it I fear #my post #commentary #the inheritance games #jennifer lynn barnes #the grandest game #the gilded blade #the gilded blade spoilers

This fandom frightens me

#this could apply to literally anything #but in this moment it’s about the inheritance games saga #you guys are terrifying #like I dipped after the first trilogy and finally caught up so I could read the finale to it all and there’s just so much discourse #and people get intense about it #why is everyone here so miserable?#my post #commentary #the inheritance games #jennifer lynn barnes #the grandest game

Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a boy mom irl and I can tell because she insists on devoting so much time to the Hawthorne Brothers when basically any female character in this series is infinitely more interesting than all of them combined

#finally an actually useful update #my post

The way I feel about Javery (and lowkey Lyrason don’t come for me Grayson has just been annoying me a little lately lmao) is the same way I feel about like the boyfriend of my best friend.

Like there’s not technically anything wrong with him. He clearly loves her and she seems happy with the way he treats her. But my loyalty will always be to her (Avery and Lyra in this case) first and foremost and my acceptance of him is 100% conditional to her. Like she is way out of his league and could do much better (because she’s out of everyone’s league and no one is truly good enough for her). But like I tolerate him I guess since she seems intent on keeping him around and he does make her happy.

#a very ‘no one is good enough for my friend but she picked you’ type beat #my post #commentary #the inheritance games #jameson hawthorne #avery grambs #avery kylie grambs #javery #tig #tgg #the grandest game trilogy #the grandest game #lyrason #Lyra Kane #grayson hawthorne

My confession is that I like Lyra Kane better than Lyrason.

Like I don’t dislike Lyrason at all but I also want to read more about Lyra apart from her dynamic and relationship with Grayson. Because she was introduced later and immediately paired up with Grayson, I just feel like jlb has kind of written her into a corner as Grayson’s love interest when I know that Lyra is so much more than that. Like my favorite Lyra moments are all when she isn’t with or thinking about Grayson at all lmao. Explore my girl’s depth further please I beg.

#you could take out any romantic connection to Grayson and I may actually prefer it lmao #like just give me the Lyra content no Grayson necessary #and not because I think Grayson should be with someone else #and I’m not saying she’s poorly written I love her character I’m just saying she could be better written jlb does her dirty sometimes #like jlb is lowkey wasting her potential as a character #my queen Lyra deserves better #my post #commentary #jennifer lynn barnes #the inheritance games #the grandest game #Lyra Kane

the concept of having both of your only major recurrent Black and latine characters grow up and live with the white american part of their family and have little to no connection to the Black american and latine community and culture they belong to. the concept of having your only SEA character be raised by a white british man with no connection to his culture. the concept of having two main characters in the same book who both grew up disconnected from their cultures and identities to the extent of it being ambiguous what country they're even from and doing nothing with it because the goal was to have "poc characters" and never actually putting in the work to write diversely. lol

paperlit

While we’re at it let’s not ignore the way Max is written (and don’t get it twisted I love Maxine Liu with my whole heart like she is one of my fav characters) but she very much falls into the ‘disposable poc bff’ trope. Like for being Avery’s oldest friend and the girlfriend of one of the Hawthornes (the only poc Hawthorne might I add) she is shockingly absent in Avery’s life and the story. On top of that jlb definitely leaned on Asian stereotypes to write her character (i.e. parent is a doctor, strict parents, etc.)

Also let’s not forget Alisa Ortega because she definitely falls into the poc of ambiguous origin bucket. Op is right jlb includes poc characters but only it seems to check off a box, she doesn’t actually write them with diversity or depth in regards to their poc status in mind.
