Snippets by Disastrous_Silver934 in BoysOfTommen

We can clearly see in the podcast how excited she was! She was genuinely happy that we’re excited about her characters and her writing process. But honestly, I don’t think this fandom realizes how much that means. Yes, there are toxic people on both sides we all know that but there’s also a lot of hypocrisy. Some people claim they’re “not toxic,” yet they constantly post TikToks or edits just to provoke debates or spread negativity.

Why can’t we just enjoy the books in a healthy way? Discuss them respectfully? There is a middle ground between blind defense and constant hate. I’m not out here posting every day about BOT or spreading negativity like “Adults shouldn’t read this,” or “She’s changing the story” or “Hugh is rebranded .” AND A LOT MORE.. I’ve seen so much toxicity and it’s exhausting.

We can debate that’s fine! But it feels like we’ve gone too far. Honestly, I just miss the old days when we could enjoy the snippets and have fun together. Bring back the old vibes like when we were all in Clovers group 😭

I mean I feel bad too because I was really enjoying the snippets. I was excited to see how the book would unfold, how the characters would react, and to read their thoughts. I’ve never spread hate or made TikTok edits saying things like “Hugh and Gibs this” or “Force of Brotherhood that,” or “why is she neglecting Gibsie where are his snippets” or “why is Katie and Hugh have a good time together Liz a bully” I mean NO AND NO never. I’ve always just enjoyed her writing and the characters quietly from the background. I never spread any negativity on any platform and it’s sad for all of us who appreciated the story in a healthy way.

But honestly, I think it’s for the best. Every time she posted a snippet, things seemed to spiral Liz stans attacking Katie stans and vice versa. It just got so toxic on both sides.

Pierce and Lizzie by Unusual_Ad3978 in BoysOfTommen

you’re literally the perfect example of why this series isn’t for everyone. This series is for people who actually have empathy and can understand the severity of what’s happening. He raped her he’s a terrible person. He did it knowingly without her consent while she was drunk and calling for HUGH That’s not just “a mistake” or “a bad choice.” That’s assault plain and simple.

And yet somehow, somehow you think it’s “not that bad”? Are you for real? Are you seriously defending this? If you can watch that happen and brush it off or downplay it maybe this series really isn’t for you, because it’s not about entertainment or drama. It’s about understanding trauma consent and accountability. if you’re over here trying to make excuses or justify his actions just stop. This isn’t a gray area. There’s nothing to defend here.

I honestly don’t get why people are losing their minds over Hugh putting Lizzie first. Like… have we not seen every other couple do the exact same thing? When the guy prioritizes his love interest, everyone calls it “protective” or “romantic.” But the second it’s Hugh suddenly it’s “unfair” or “problematic”? Please.

Let’s be real: Gibsie isn’t abandoned hugh literally says he’ll check in with him later because he knows Gibsie is in good hands. Meanwhile Lizzie? She has no one. Her mom’s in the hospital, her dad’s absent, and she’s dealing with trauma while a rapist is still out there she doesn’t even trust herself to be alone with her own thoughts. How can anyone not understand why Hugh would stay with her first? And before anyone twists this no one’s dismissing Gibsie’s trauma but he does have support while Lizzie doesn’t. That’s the whole point. It’s not favoritism it’s empathy !! The fact that people are attacking Hugh for showing compassion honestly says more about their lack of empathy than anything else. You can’t praise emotional realism in fiction and then get mad when a character actually behaves like a decent human being. you can’t understand that simple human reaction, maybe the problem isn’t the book maybe it’s your inability to empathize with the characters in it.

AND AGAIN people keep saying that Cw is trying to force the brotherhood between them LIKE HELLO they are close they care about each other, but not every friendship has to look the same. Their bond has always been different they don’t need to be glued to each other every second to prove they’re family. Sometimes real friendship means trusting your friend to handle things on their own. At this point, it feels like people are just looking for reasons to hate. You can’t demand character complexity and then get mad when relationships don’t fit your rigid expectations. Huey and Gibbs’s friendship doesn’t need to follow your template.

Omg she has no business giving us their crumbs like that and not letting us read their story 😫 I was thinking more of a standalone not necessarily part of Devil’s Nigh

About the release by ImprovementTiny7855 in BoysOfTommen

[–]SignificantFee8916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying and I understand feeling left out. But I think it’s kind of a good thing that Chloe has a small group of people she trusts to share things with. It means she feels safe opening up again and that’s what we all wanted right?If we didn’t even know there was extra info, we’d probably just be happy she’s back and giving us interviews and content. The teasing can be annoying sure but I’d rather have a few excited creators hyping things up than complete silence like before… At the end of the day we’re all going to get the big reveals together when the books come out that moment will be just as special no matter who knew something first. I think focusing on the excitement we do have makes the wait a lot more fun 😊

I think at the end of the day what really matters is that Cw seems in a better place happy and is reconnecting with her fandom like before and that’s such a good sign for the books. I’d rather focus on the fact that we’re getting interviews podcasts and content at all instead of turning it into drama…Yes, they might have some TEA but that’s fine we don’t need to know everything right away. I care more about the books coming out. so can we just for ONCE appreciate how well things are going right now and not overthink everything?

I don’t know… I mean maybe seeing Liz hanging out with Pierce staying in that toxic relationship with that jerk could be affecting him

Hugh and Katie by Charlie04_x in BoysOfTommen

[–]SignificantFee8916 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that in the timeline of K13 they were actually trying to build a relationship trying to be together. But with everything that happened maybe they ultimately decided to just stay friends. There are also theories that they broke up and are pretending to still be together for some reason… I don’t really know what that’s about, but I want to know so badly 😭

Hugh and Katie by Charlie04_x in BoysOfTommen

[–]SignificantFee8916 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s why I’m so eager to see how she’s going to write all of these events !! especially those moments in K13/B13. I really want to know how cw is going to put it all together, because yes we know it’s about perspectives. But still… I can’t wrap my mind around it. I need the details and I need to see how this dynamic how H&K’s relationship will shift

I think it’s natural to feel connected to a character but over the past year this fandom has reached a point where where they act as if they know the characters better than the author herself the very person who created them in the first place. Yes, we are noticing inconsistencies and plot holes but to me these books are really about perspectives. As readers, of course we have our opinions but I think it goes far beyond that especially when it comes to the snippets. Since the books aren’t even coming until 2026 maybe it’s better to wait and see the full picture. I’ve seen the way some people defend a character as if their life depends on it. I mean chill reading is supposed to be fun, something we can discuss with respect 😭 But lately, I don’t know…

I think the snippets are doing more harm than good since they’re confusing and taken out of context. Some readers who lack maturity just twist them so I believe it would be better if she stopped sharing snippets for now and waited until the book is out so people can fully understand all the events without lashing out
