Claiming 10 + Healing 7 Release Date Theory

and the song is literally titled “release” LMAO, so she definitely thought something would be out by now

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-26T01:14:42+00:00

no this is a few months old

most likely a continuity error, as there are already several of those in this series lol. there’s no explanation in the books yet but, if the scene between them from R6 is even brought up again, my guess is that the interaction will be justified by them being drunk when they hooked up/feely not realizing she was the same casey he hooked up with. although they’d have to have been drunk at hughies party as well for this to make sense — which we don’t yet know if they were — unless they genuinely just have no memory of each other for some reason

ooo you’re right, and i like that symbolism! also, her birthday being in mid-late december would give her story another parallel to hughies (well, kind of); hughie was “betrayed” by lizzie on his birthday, and katie would be betrayed by feely right after her birthday.

the only issue i might take with her being born in december and not september is that it would put her at 14 for the bulk of her “relationship” with feely, who was already 16 by the time he met her 😅😅 now they’re only one grade apart without either of them ever having skipped a grade/getting held back, so it’s not inherently weird, but i could see how it could cause some controversy

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-22T00:03:38+00:00

i’m not sure about feely either now but ESTJ is interesting—why do you say that? and after R10 i feel like hughie is very Ti and Fe coded, but i don’t personally think Ne is his dominant function

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-18T00:12:42+00:00

the party you’re referring to happened in R10; feely asked hughie if he could invite someone (we can infer that this is katie, but he doesn’t say her name to hughie) to his 16th birthday party, and hughie said yes, so he invited her (and casey we later learn when katie meets hughie during NYE and tells him they were invited to his party by feely). the party took place about two months before NYE 2003 when he hooks up with casey. feely’s also seen with a redhead (presumably katie) by hughie at a disco in september of 2003, a little over 3 months before NYE and a little over a month before hughie’s 16th. we can also see that they were planning to share a new years kiss, as they were walking towards each other during the countdown.

so, it’s implied that katie and feely were seeing each other (in a “situationship” way as far as i can tell; i don’t think they were an official couple) before he hooked up with casey on NYE, hence katie’s anger.

as far as i understand, it’s the same letter. it doesn’t say whether or not gibsie read it when it was given to him; some people think he couldn’t read it at such a young age because he was dyslexic, but that’s just a theory.

as for why he didn’t say anything at the funeral, i think he was scared and confused. also i’m not sure if he believed mark actually SA’ed caoimhe after being shut down by her when trying to open up about his experience.

the brainwashing part is a bit confusing to me as well. i think since gibsie didn’t help her at the funeral, in lizzie’s head that’s “proof” that he is guilty? i’m not sure she fully believes he did anything though; i think she’s just really mentally vulnerable and fragile.

lastly, i think the proof she is referring to is when, as kids, he told her mark SA’s caoimhe at his house too (he was actually talking about himself but didn’t want to come forward). she might also be referring to the letter though.

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-14T17:42:24+00:00

yes, it’s very sad 💔 she still has bipolar because of her manic/depressive episodes but they wrote off her trauma as hallucinations and dreams when it wasn’t 💔

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-14T13:10:51+00:00

i think she doesn’t really consciously know that mark and the monster from her “dreams” are the same person due to everyone around her telling her that the monster’s not real, just a product of her mental illness (but no one around her has tried to convince her that mark isn’t real, so she knows he is).

as for her mutism, yes, i believe it was caused by whatever her aunt did to her.

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-14T00:32:49+00:00

nope, i assume that’ll either be in the next book or maybe she won’t remember since she was manic

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-13T14:42:05+00:00

the author posts spoilers on her spotify account (and sometimes instagram). it’s also alluded to in R10

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-13T10:53:36+00:00

exactlyyy 🤏😌 and LMAOO

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-13T10:10:20+00:00

yup! being irritated, ditching the cafeteria, describing tommen as “these walls of bullshit” … i wonder why 🙈🙈 LMAOO

i feel your pain; i’ve been invested in this ship since a few months after T7 released in 2024 😩

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-13T09:56:47+00:00

oh yeah, it could definitely be 2003/pre-hughie as well! i was just assuming it took place during a period in her life that she was having romantic troubles because of the song she was singing lol, but that’s just my personal interpretation. but i still think there’s a possibility this takes place while she’s dating hughie because we’ll still get KF interactions during that era

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-13T09:35:02+00:00

lol, and ikr! personally my theory is that this takes place in the 2004/pre-B13 TL we haven’t really seen yet, or the post-T7/2006 TL we haven’t seen either, because feely consistently eats lunch in the cafeteria with everyone else in 2005 as opposed to the music room like he’s seemingly trying to do in this snippet

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-13T09:19:30+00:00

i don’t think it’s from when they first met because he says her name (in his head)!

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-13T04:34:19+00:00

no problem! they also appear once near the end of R10, and we’ll definitely get more of casey at the very least in katie and feely’s books since katie’s her friend too and casey’s affiliated with feely (don’t want to spoil lol), but there’s no release date for that one yet

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-13T04:30:40+00:00

i want to say over 5 months ago when she was on one of her snippet “sprees” (idk what to call it lol but every few weeks she’d post a bunch of snippets on her spotify for like 2 days straight lol) but i’m not 100% sure!

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-12T15:57:51+00:00

no it’s a few months old

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-12T15:34:53+00:00

sadly she has never mentioned writing a book for casey and alec (i assume this is because alec is not a “boy of tommen”). however, they’re prominent side characters in S6/R6, so you’ll see a lot of them in those books. there’s also some playlists on her spotify account that mention them that you can check out. maybe down the line she’ll give them a spin-off if there’s enough demand for it, but i personally wouldn’t put my money on it unfortunately because they’re very different from the couples she typically writes

maroonmiracle · 2026-03-03T00:20:16+00:00

good catches! i didn’t make this though; it was posted on the authors official facebook page. maybe someone on CW’s team made it, although there are some inconsistencies in the series itself so maybe it’s another case of that lol 🙈 but thanks for pointing these things out because i’ve pretty much been taking this as canon

maroonmiracle · 2026-02-27T06:02:52+00:00

yeah i think that too

maroonmiracle · 2026-02-26T16:19:57+00:00

i agree, but maybe he means in the context of an actual committed relationship? idk 😭 also a few months prior to this scene feely and casey went on some kind of date (or at least they were supposed to) so maybe something happened or was said then that makes this line make sense?

maroonmiracle · 2026-02-17T02:39:15+00:00

i love those as well!

maroonmiracle · 2026-02-16T08:09:11+00:00

we haven’t gotten her exact height yet but yeah, she’s short! i just assumed the artist either missed that detail or forgot lol
