man it's like . i understand why reading tlg might make some people hate on hayden and jj. however, reading tlg just made me hate the entirety of tlg, so. it's just not real to me. it's simply bad. it's a bad book that does massive disservices to just about every character with a significant role in it. shane gets hatecrimed, ilya is a horrible partner, hayden is incoherent, and jj doesn't comprehend the concept of outing people being bad, like. oh my god. it's not real to me, and i simply want shane hollander to have good friends, so i'm doing that.
plus, with regard to jj, rr never put any thought into how being the only two people of color in the montreal locker room would impact their relationship, but trust me, I Am Putting Thought Into It. I Am Thinking About It So Hard. JJ Boiziau/Dagenais I Will Save You
