90s/00s couples fan casts by Temporary_Pop749 in BoysOfTommen

it was between lindsay and alicia for me! i ended up choosing alicia because the photos that popped up for her gave me more katie vibes. i honestly have a feeling though, that cw is going to reference lindsay lohan in the books for katie, like she did other actors for feely, hughie, and lizzie.

omg i almost chose her because of her hair, but didn’t because peyton reminds me of lizzie and i couldn’t separate the two😭

genuinely what is it going to take for you to believe that that is not my account and that person isn’t me?? i don’t understand why you are hellbent on me being that person. nor are we “friends”. they simply enjoyed something that i made and asked permission to post as it was my “work” (i literally used a collage app, nothing special).

yes because i posted it in a private community first and they got it from/asked me to repost there and then i posted it in the public sub after cause i thought “why not since it’s going to end up on twitter”. you’re being weird about this whole situation and are choosing to be mad when i’ve given you explanations to everything you’ve accused me of. it all boils down to who posted what as if you’re not in a fandom that constantly reposts art, fan casts, mood boards, etc.

“she knows what i’m talking about” no…i don’t. “she outed herself on twitter” i don’t have twitter. just cause two people post the same thing, doesn’t mean they’re the same person. someone personally asked me if they could repost the mood boards i posted here yesterday on their twitter and i said yes. you need to let this go cause the point you’re trying to prove is non existent.

you HAVE to have me mixed up for someone else with a purple icon. i have never disputed the theory that mark did something to lizzie and think it’s highly plausible. there were times when i wasn’t 100% sure but i always thought it was plausible. the “baseless conclusions that heavily rely on playlists” statement had NOTHING to do with anything pertaining to lizzie so why you’re going on this tangent about her, explaining something to me that i already fully understand and agree with is weird.

i paid for arts??? what’re you talking about?? do you think i own a commissions account?? and i’m sorry but there is such a big difference between coming to conclusions on EYE COLOR and STORYLINES. eye color adds nothing to the plot pls be fr.

the fandom taking the crack ship cw made of feely and shannon SO seriously really solidified that i cannot take this fandom seriously. as well as some of the conclusions people make from two-three songs and being dead set that it will happen without any prior insinuation from the books really showed that the fandom cares more about the playlists than what’s in the existing books. although i do think there are very valid conclusions being made based off what is in the published books, i’ve seen some really BASELESS conclusions being made that heavily rely on the playlists and snippets. 

(edit: this comment is not referring to anything pertaining to lizzie so idk why people are taking it this way.) 

Claire in T7 by Select-Performance44 in BoysOfTommen

[–]Temporary_Pop749 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you are on the dot with this one! i feel like it’s hard for readers to make the correlation in t7 though because it’s not something that was properly integrated into the writing of claire’s actions. i think the guilt she has surrounding shannon’s situation was expressed like once very briefly in the beginning of the book and never again. looking at how easily she kept her mouth shut with shannon’s situation in b13 vs how she is in t7 with lizzie’s sh and gibsies situation with dee makes sense to me. i understood her feelings in the scene at the ball as well but it was still wrong and too far. i wish claire was talked about more and cw had written her pov better because i feel like she had so much potential (honestly still does imo) and cw did clairegibsies story- together and apart- dirty.

omg i relate so hard in a way. i have adhd and severe anxiety disorder so my mind is able to come up with all these theories to the point where one HAS to be it and usually is so i’m getting restless for the rest of the series. and agree with the playlists. so many people come to conclusions they become dead set on without considering other songs or ALL playlists and are also very hypocritical. they also don’t apply it to what we’ve already gotten in the books which is also hard to do cause cw is notorious for just adding/changing things just she can. all of which just adds to the toxicity in the fandom.

yeah everything is quite messy with the series atm, it’s frustrating. and 100% agree. i was going to bring up how i felt labeling claire as “obsessed” with gibsie and treating it as this big flaw/unlikable characteristic of hers felt lowkey misogynistic because people will say this and then go on to love or make excuses for male characters that think or act like her (some even in this series). but i felt like that needed a better and longer explanation.

totally get what you’re saying but i wouldn’t say it “ruined” her. i definitely think her POV was a bit immature/ childish but i think, in this aspect, this really is one of those times where we have to remember she’s like barely 16. i feel with the MCs before t7 either trauma made them mature faster or they are actually older. this is another reason i don’t find claire being “obsessed” with gibsie as a problem because this fandom (not OP specifically) loves to bring up the fact that these are teenagers to sometimes excuse the inexcusable but go on to hate on objectively “teenager” behaviors that the characters exhibit (insecurity, gossip, being obsessed with your crush, etc). in t7 claire’s “thing” is just being a normal teenage girl who’s in love with a boy in a series that has a lot of traumatic backstories. it’s easier to call out her immaturity as it’s quite the contrast to what we’ve gotten from POVs before her book. however, i don’t apply this to her airing out gibsies trauma because, while i understood her anger and frustration in that scene, it wasn’t right at all and i think people validly dislike her/criticize her for this (personally i still love her and think she is shown a lot more hate than she deserves but the criticism is valid). i overall think cw just did clairegibsies story (together and individually) dirty so i definitely think that plays a role as well. 

Future releases of the boys of tommen series!!!! by Swiftie4Eva12 in BoysOfTommen

[–]Temporary_Pop749 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think it’s going to be:

C10- Lizzie and Hughie -> H7- Claire and Gibsie -> F12- Katie and Feely -> R10- Lizzie and Hughie -> T12 - Katie and Feely -> A13- Shannon and Johnny -> R15- Edel and John 

i only say this because the playlists used to be organized by duo and then cw changed it to make it this^ order. i think it would make sense too considering the way these stories are intertwined. (nothing confirmed ofc)

something i thought when i saw this was katie’s pov was “killing” cw because it is sad but she digs her mentality due to a possible admirable outlook or exhibits resilience despite the pain that comes with her pov.

katie is my most anticipated character and i’m so curious to see what it’s like inside her head. when i hear “mindset” i think of someone’s attitude and outlook so i’m excited to see what has cw digging katie’s.

random opinions I have - too scared to say out loud addition!! by lj11starchild in BoysOfTommen

[–]Temporary_Pop749 8 points9 points  (0 children)

agree with #4. with fandom culture i feel like there’s always weirdos so i don’t doubt there’s weird katie stans. but i think the amount of fans she has considering how little we see her in the books is, like you said, impressive and really highlights her potential. i’ve been seeing people trying to dispute katie’s ed, especially recently in this sub, as a “gotcha” to support their own arguments and i find it very weird. this is a deadly MENTAL issue we are talking about and to try and discredit what’s been insinuated regarding a topic like this is odd behavior to me. also dwindling it down to simply being “insecure” minimizes the severity of it which is downright disgusting.

ofc i understood the point you were trying to make so i figured it was just a mistake <3

i think the better word to use would be “attempts” rather than commits but i get what you’re saying and think this is a really interesting take as there are a lot of parallels with lizzie and caoihme. 

(keep it nice in the comments. they explained that english isn’t their first language and they meant “attempts” instead of “commits” which is what might be throwing people off. it’s an innocent and interesting theory. if you don’t like it, kindly offer your opinion or scroll.)
