When you're grayson and are ready to receive your inheritance but some girl (avery) with rags and a pendent, showing that shes the lost hybrid heiress, comes in and u know u will lose it all
When Gigi is showing you cat photos and u lowkey dont want to see them so u politely tell her to go away then you see some 10'4" man (mattias slater) sprinting at you and then u get slimed with immediate effect.
TW: extreme violence (please skip if that is something you are not comfortable with)
please dont read if not comfortable with violence
Me when I randomly remember that the cult kidnapped Jameson put a bag over his head had him chained (while he fought his brain to stay calm) and then stabbed him then poisioned him again when he fought to get out of the said chains and then the cult almost burnt him alive while he screamed (while the clt was talking about the price of wheat and his monolouge said please let me go)- fainted again because of the smoke and then he woke up again and his dead grandma (who said I would have done more if he had know smth real abt the cult) threatened him with Avery and his brothers by giving him a physical reminder of the untraceable poison and also he has memory gaps so he does not really remember everything so that haunts him too
Now the same cult has kidnapped Avery too, so the same shit might be happening to her
“I understand that you have been told something by odette and that you need answers, as my brother told me. But I am imploring you to please not mention this name or secret to anyone. I can not stress why exactly right now but I need you trust me otherwise you could be in danger, as might everyone on this island. I know this will hurt you but please give me the time to think of a solution otherwise this will escalate and lives will be at risk. People will get hurt or worse. We need to communicate and trust and I hope this makes sense. I need you to understand. We will try to get answers together but this must not escalate.”
Would that not be more than enough ? so much people could ve been kept safe with this ..
That seems like it might've worked but bare in mind Jameson thought she was a threat. so why would he even indirectly mention Alice at all, when for all he knows, Lyra could have been working with her and relaying info back. i mean its implied that he thought Alice gave Lyra the wild card:
“Why would Eve go to the trouble of finding a wild card ticket, just to send it to Lyra and put her in the Grandest Game?” Jameson pressed. You thought it was someone else. Grayson didn’t say that out loud—not yet.
He also could barely tell Avery and couldnt tell his brothers until 'on spake' was called so why would he tell someone who he knew for like idk 2-3 days? Also Lyra ALSO had only ''known'' Jameson for the same amount of time and had barely interacted with him, so why would she listen or trust him or NOT investigate? genuinely think of it, if Jameson went up to her and didnt mention Alice's name but indirectly mentioned her, wouldn't Lyra be as interested as Grayson to find out WHY? and even if he didn't know that, Jameson saw how Grayson was digging and Grayson outright said that Lyra would also search:
“We’ll call off the game,” Jameson said, like Grayson hadn’t even spoken. “Eve’s interference gives us a plausible reason to.” “You could call off the game,” Grayson replied evenly, “but I guarantee you, the first thing Lyra will do is take what she learned here and start looking for answers. She is relentless, Jamie, and highly intelligent.”
I mean like personally, I see how it could've worked but ultimately that would've done nothing in my opinion because you might say 'oh when he mentions the danger then she would listen' but that would just speed up the process of searching and the 'time of watching' by the cult.
ngl there were serious communication issues the whole of Glorious Rivals but now that i think of it, what would Jameson ask/talk to Lyra about? like 'oh i think ur actually some secret agent or some threat, so confirm or deny.' like guys that would tip her off if she actually was 😭
Memes about the fandom cause u all pmo rn and if I laugh at you it will make me hate you all less. temporarily.

Me and the girls when someone says something bad about Savannah:
Everyone in the fandom after gr releasing:
When someone wants to open their mouth about Jameson in gr but admits they haven't read patrg:
When someone is hating on a character for something they said or did but I can direct them to the exact book, chapter, and page number where their favorite character did the exact same thing:
When I read someone's opinion and it looks like they read a different book but I have to keep my trap shut because I'm trying to avoid the back and forth:
When reporting to my moots about the most atrocious post I've just seen so we can debrief, and they were going to do the same thing:
How Lyra haters and Jameson haters feel after using a single, out of context quote or example of them being a normal human to diagnose them with the devil's touch:
When someone downplays a character's trauma saying it's not an excuse and their next post is them talking about their favorite character's trauma and using that to defend them:
How me and lys feel talking about the same topic every single time:
When I'm discussing with my moots but they start hating and I have to bring out the facts and clock their tea:
Me watching Leen follow the light at the end of the tunnel and reach the other side:
How some of you have Lyra for investigating about her family's past while simultaneously defending the og characters like that wasn't the entire plot of the original trilogy:
Rohansav fans watching Lyrason get their happy ending knowing there is a chance Rohan and Savannah might be left with an open ending:
Me if any of those rage baiters came into my asks instead of my moots:
When I debunk someone's entire argument and they don't have any other points to make so they say "Idk I just hate x character":
Me seeing ash and klea's posts but their opinions are the polar opposite of mine and they are my baddies so I stay silent:
When someone says they don't like Jameson but their entire page is Jameson rants:
Me reading tgb and seeing the actual characters do give even a quarter of a fuck as you guys about the situation:
When someone questions the validity of my argument but ik ball:
Mira coming back every few days to declare her love for Jameson:
How you guys expected Jameson to greet Grayson and Lyra half an hour after his gf got kidnapped and as he found out that they indirectly had some part in it:
When someone accuses me of being a man defender for calling out what's real but they would find a way to put their head up their own ass to defend their favorite:
Ok so before I start this probably is a bit biased (I like Jameson as a charecter) so yea do not hesitate to call me out, I really want to stay neutral. Please note this is my opinion so do not hate on me I am open to healty discussion. Also if you come at me for saying I dont care or like Lyra just know thats completely wrong and I love her so yea! I want this to be an open discussion and not me defending just Jameson.
Note:- Jameson u need to LOCK TF IN! LOCK IN DUDE (but I get why u did what u did....... still pmo.....)
Reading gr I was soo confused and pissed off at Jameson from time to time when he was acting like a maniac whenever Alice was even mentioned thinking bro it cannot be that bad if you told that secret yourself twice in tbh....
But then I read pain at the right gun and then re read that night in prague and then re read TBH and then I realised that fuck this guy had severe ptsd and was scared of himself that he would go after this mystery- solving mysteries is the way his brain was wired and he is hungry so how could he trust himself to not go after this mystery (he is supposed to take risks no one else would to be considered above ordinary)
So then I thought why tf would u tell the the mercy head that secret?
The answer being he wanted to let out the secret because it was eating at his brain every damn second.
but telling the secret meant putting people in danger..... but then again the mercy was a secret too and how would Alice get in there (ig he thought it was safe way to vent) so the proprietor wont tell anyone and that way he could get in on the game to distract himself from the whole alice shit because he had written it down it should not matter anymore and prove himself to his father.
at the end of the book he told Avery the truth because he didnt want any secrets between them and he because he could trust himself to not go after this mystery.
he regretted writing down that secret at the mercy that much was evident when Zella had the paper which Avery burnt hence making his insecurites that he is impulsvie (he is) flair up.
So then why is he soo damn pissed when people were saying 'the name' in gr....... Its because he was scared of that freaking name and he knew the cult was lurking near by (we dont see it but Jameson was angsty the whole book for more reasons than just Lyra having an anon sponsor so I think smth had happened that we dont know yet)
AND THEN BOOM I ACTUALLY REALISED SMTH.
JAMESON HAD NEVER SAID ALICE'S NAME OUT LOUD EVEN IN TBH both the times he told the secret he WROTE IT DOWN because he was scared that even if someone was watching them they would not find out. So it finally made sense why he was angsty anytime someone took her name because it was evident from tnip that Alice will keep an eye on him and saying her name would reach back to Alice and Avery would be in danger which is what happened his worst nightmare came true.
So he was actually very scared the whole of gr doing impulsive shit he would not have done uk after all that development.
Jameson following the trail in prague was not a mistake Tobias left cluse on purpose, but Jameson spilling the lie at the mercy was a bad call and he is paying the price somehow now.
RANDOM THEORY DROP:- I think Zella read the secret the one Jameson had written down because we know that she knew abt the cult in gr.... What if she had read the secret and lied.... Maybe she went searching for answers and found out abt the cult (the lore from gigi's pov). She also told jameson she owed him one after he saved her so ig that might come into play too......
It genuinely breaks my heart to see what’s happening in Sudan right now. This is one of the most urgent humanitarian crises in the world. The Sudanese people have been enduring unimaginable horror — homes destroyed, millions are forced to flee. Families are starving, famine is spreading through besieged towns, and millions of people are displaced with nowhere safe to go.
Civilians are being buried alive. Women and children are being r*ped. People are being beaten and hung. Entire villages are burned to the ground. The soil itself has turned red with blood visible even from satellite images.
I feel so hopeless because all I can do is watch from my home, but I can still spread awareness, share the truth, and amplify Sudanese voices. These are human beings just like us. We all bleed red. Sudan deserves to be seen. Its people deserve to be heard. All eyes on Sudan!! 🇸🇩

idec if she brings avery back I'll read abt her all over again I don't care much for any other character 😊
Probably would be a wrong writing choice on the authors behalf and I suppose I feel this way because I never completely finished the new series but Its what it is
guys ive almost done tobys pov i think but why is everyone saying outrageous things?? hello what am i missing 😟 yk what let me finish before i come back 😔
Ok so me and @coffeexsmmrsblog were talking and we had this random idea about Tobias and his whole “kill 12 birds with one stone” thing with Avery. And we figured out that so far he has killed 9 birds with Avery: name, birthday, intelligence, strenght,hannah,toby, gamble, last puzzle, keeping his bloodline away from his legacy (this might not be fully correct but we’re going insane) but guess what THAT LEAVES 3!!!!! THREE!!! and we know who said “there’s always three”….SO tgb must be like the final reckoning or smth OR MAYBE Alice has been controlling the board the whole time and these final 3 are her masterpiece. In all seriousness I don’t think we even know what this means but anyway fun theory 🤷♀️
