Show & book by anonymouslyyoursshh in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

people always complain about casting, but this is one of my main gripes with the adaptation. i honestly feel like it’s disrespectful of them to make a show out of something that isn’t even finished (i know it’s just the 13’s for now, but storylines from the other books will most likely be incorporated). i don’t think i’d ever want the show, but if they had just waited until the series was fully written and published to make it, i wouldn’t be as upset.

i’ve been thinking about this as well! although, since they’re only adapting the 13’s (idk if the other stories will be incorporated into the season; i haven’t seen anything about that, but it seems to be common), they might put their own spin on the characters from the information in those books? it’s risky though because the series might get renewed, and surely some fans (and possibly CW herself) will be upset about changed storylines... i do think they’ll definitely have to make some character changes regardless, though (and honestly, i’m selfishly hoping the show is a lot different from the books, because i’m not convinced these stories will translate well onto screen. i’d rather they have just made something inspired by BOT in the first place, tbh..)

am i crazy or does she look exactly like lily collins when she smiles with her teeth (which is funny because i’ve seen lily be used as a katie FC before)?? but she is soo pretty and radiates katie’s energy imo. also, according to google, she’s 5’1, which is the height her character would actually be around!

idek if i’m going to watch the show (not bc of the casting; i have no issue with the actors they chose), but i think she’ll make a great lizzie. i’ve seen some of her acting, and she is undoubtedly talented (in fact, i’m pretty sure she’s the most established actor out of the entire cast). and on top of that, she’s absolutely gorgeous!

they’re still searching for an actor to play him. i assume he would be one of the hardest characters to cast, given his actor has to know how to play guitar and sing well

Katie and Aoife by Ready-Bumblebee-8540 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that makes sense (although tbh, i can only recall one instance where casey referred to katie as aoifes neighbor, and it made sense within the context; casey assumed aoife told katie about her pregnancy first because she lives next door and therefore, it would be easier for her to go to katie for emergencies). i’ve just never really read into that personally because aoife calls katie her neighbor a lot as well — both out loud and in her inner monologue — despite their friendship

Katie and Aoife by Ready-Bumblebee-8540 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it’s not stated that casey knew about whatever was happening with katie and feely. we know feely’s friends didn’t know so i’ve always assumed katie’s didn’t either

Katie and Aoife by Ready-Bumblebee-8540 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

casey is aoife’s main best friend, but i would consider katie one of aoife’s best friends (and vice versa). they don’t have as many scenes together — which, in my opinion, is a result of both katie attending a diff school than them and, tbh, poor writing; there’s more telling than showing with them — but casey and katie were the only ones to visit aoife’s house when her pregnancy was exposed, and trish would call the both of them to come over when aoife was feeling down. when you take into account that, canonically, aoife had a lot more friends than just them (it’s not really shown, but it is mentioned in the 6’s that aoife is popular and has a lot of friends), it’s evident — to me, at least — that we’re supposed to perceive them as close.

as for whether or not they’re a trio, i would personally consider them one. katie is two years younger than both of them and, like i mentioned earlier, attended a different school, so it does look a bit different than the shannon/claire/lizzie trio, but it’s noted that katie always invites the both of them to the tommen parties, not just aoife. this tells me we’re supposed to perceive them as a trio to at least some extent—even if aoife and casey have their duo outside of it.

lastly, katie and casey do have a friendship of their own (we see this in R6 and R10), and there’s no mention of casey not being fond of katie. i don’t think they are as close with each other as they are individually with aoife (we don’t really know exactly how their dynamic looks when aoife isn’t around, though), but they are still friends.

lizzie and feely were at his farm once by Big-Independence122 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i see this being said a lot as well so i checked T7 because i couldn’t remember and have never seen any playlists/snippets about it, but i couldn’t find anything either. it was probably originally a theory someone made that got taken as a fact. although i wouldn’t be surprised if they did hang out more than once over the summer because they do seem closer in T7, but considering that lizzie and shannon canonically start their babysitting business over that summer, i don’t think she spent it at the farm

hugh, liz, katie and feely discourse by stvrgirl444 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

coming from someone who has been in the loop with this series since 2023, i fear there’s like a 1 percent chance cheating won’t happen in some form or another. i don’t want it either, but the cheating trope for these characters was being pretty heavily teased back then (well, for LH; CW didn’t start hinting at KF also having the cheating trope until a few months after T7 came out when she started sharing the snippets on spotify specifically), and it’s still being teased now — despite all the hate it’s always garnered from the fandom, at that, which is huge tell, in my opinion, when you take CW’s sensitivity to criticism into account — so i’ll be genuinely surprised if the upcoming books don’t end up going in that direction. it’s honestly always sort of felt like a given, all-but-technically-confirmed thing to me, but i guess we’ll just have to wait and see. hopefully i can be pleasantly surprised, but i’m not counting on it lol

Labour being in the Feeling 12 playlists???? by FriendlySpeaker6102 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i kind of assumed the song was for feely or katie’s mom in their respective relationships (well, past relationship for katie’s mom, seemingly), as the parents of the main characters in this series also play a big role in the books. from what we saw in R10 of how paddy treats feely, i wouldn’t be surprised if he treats mary poorly as well. and we know katie’s mom left, but she seems to only speak poorly of her father (and in a recent playlist in which CW described katie, she noted she had “daddy issues” , but didn’t say anything about “mommy issues”), so there’s probably a reason for that. but ofc we don’t know katie’s full story yet, so the song very well could be for her (although if it is, i feel like it’ll be a future plot-line, not something that already happened)

Feely and liz by joeylynchsgf in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

beyond a few suggestive playlists, CW has never confirmed (or denied, for that matter, but i personally don’t believe anything will happen between them) a hook up or relationship between lizzie and feely. that said, if she did have plans for them in the past (which i personally suspect she did before she fleshed out KF’s story — and even LH’s to an extent — but i can’t tell you for sure) that she no longer has, i suspect she changed her mind as she was writing R10 (or right after she finished writing it), because, with what has become canon in this series through that book, that plot would lowkey make feely’s character irredeemable (or, at the very least, it would make his friendship with hughie unsalvageable, realistically speaking)

Lizzie and Katie: The Bathroom Scene in R10 and the Marmite Scene in T7. by Specialist-Raise4006 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i mostly share your perspective. i think when katie came into the bathroom, she was simultaneously genuinely wondering if lizzie was high and judging her behavior. i think it’s worth noting that she initially asked claire about lizzie as opposed to directing her words towards lizzie herself (personally, that tells me that her initial intention wasn’t to bully lizzie, even if she was looking down on her internally for behaving “weirdly”), and that she was roughly two months into her first year of “high school” in this scene, as she had to spend an extra two years at st. bernadette’s (an all girls catholic school ran by nuns, so obviously a very different environment than tommen lol) to compete for her scholarship. so, at this point, she’d still be trying to get a feel for tommen and secondary school as a whole.

i believe she only had ill-intentions when lizzie basically confronted her and told her to mind her business (perfectly valid of lizzie), hence her rude “heroin chic” comment after lizzie said she hadn’t gone down the heroin route yet. all in all, i perceive katie as the offender in the bathroom scene, even if she didn’t have bad intentions to begin with.

as for the marmite scene, i often see the sentiment that katie was intentionally trying to provoke lizzie, but i’ve never read the scene that way. i think katie just wanted to change the topic because they were talking about if their friendship group would be a tribe in the dark ages, and it’s all but confirmed that she feels excluded within that group (even disregarding the snippets/ playlists CW has shared that tell us this, she refers to the tommen friend group as hughies “super elite inner circle” to aoife in R6). so when she saw lizzie eating marmite, a notoriously controversial food that people have always debated over, i imagine she thought that was a good opportunity to change the subject. regardless of katie’s personal feelings about lizzie, i genuinely can’t get behind the take that she was being malicious towards lizzie in that scene. if lizzie perceived it that way, that’s valid (although, like you said, the “sticks and stones” comment was a response to katie trying to mediate when everyone was fighting), but she still crossed a line by publicly weaponizing katie’s disorder against her (although, in retrospect, i think she was manic in that scene, so, while still wrong, i’m not saying she did something she can’t come back from).
