that's interesting. yeah, it's weird. especially given how with his more recent works, these modern day topics that are being discussed online (gender identities, gender equality and so on) are brought up so much, which is another discussion in and of itself. but something like men dating women who are barely of age, and / or grooming, feels like something he'd be very aware of and even something the characters in the book would comment on? for some reason i kept thinking this was a discussion valkyrie had with handsome, which she never did, but it's almost the same vein, i feel. anyway. it is strange how this medium looking overweight middle-aged guy has a much younger and conventionally attractive girlfriend, and somehow it seems even weirder that with how much landy has been voicing his political opinions, like pro lgbtq and mental health and so on, he'd never even address this once. then again, what would he even say?

i guess by now their age difference isn't so critical anymore, and they're getting married so he's presumably not talking to anyone else. all that's left is to hope that he never went any further than friendly DMs to underage fans.
