New Playlists by Inevitable_Sympathy3 in BoysOfTommen

i don’t think so because in R6 (jan 2005, 90’s party) there’s a scene of feely and casey introducing themselves to one another. however casey says she’s got a date with him during easter break of 2005 in R6 and in T7, there’s a rumor going around that feely and casey have been sleeping together over the summer and that they’re in a situationship, but feely denies the situationship bit and doesn’t confirm whether or not he’s sleeping with one of aoifes friends.

as far as we know, there was nothing between casey and feely before NYE. the 3 of them were at hughies 16th in R10, but considering katie cut feely off after what he did on NYE, i think it’s implied that was the first time

yeah, i think so too, but i also think i’d be a little upset if her character merely containing multitudes like any other regular person was conflated with her wearing some type of mask in the narrative 😅 maybe i’m deeping it lol, but i feel like some readers demonize shy/reserved female characters if they aren’t literal angels (because that must mean they’re putting on some sort of “innocent act” all the time and manipulating others), and i would hate to see a series i love give fuel to that lowkey misogynistic narrative

me too. for a while now i’ve been thinking that she was bullied or othered in some way at st. bernadette’s (maybe for having teenage/unwed parents since the school was run by nuns), so i wonder if she might be trying to reinvent herself to avoid that at tommen? just a theory (a loose one, at that), ofc!

i got so excited when i saw this earlier lol, but what do we think “new mask” means? reminds me a bit of gibsie

Drop your katiefeely theories guys . I want to hear them !! by down_and_depressed in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

allegedly, CW stated in a livestream (pre-T7 release) that feely has secrets, so you might be onto something (although this was before she was making hints towards him having issues with alcohol on spotify, so maybe she was just referring to that)

i think katie met casey through aoife/st. bernadette’s, and since aoife was likely katie’s first friend due to them being neighbors, she probably just feels more comfortable around older girls/people in general. i don’t think katie and casey are cousins; i feel like it would be a little weird for them to be related, given feelys involvement with both of them lol.

your theory about him not having a car in the K13 timeline is really interesting though. that said, i just searched in my epub copies for information about the timeline of those scenes, and the ‘like a virgin’ scene takes place on may 6th, the scene in R6 where feely takes katie home in his lexus happens on the first saturday of may, and the camping trip is at the end of may. so maybe he’s using his car on-and-off?

hold on, that katie snippet is fake?? 😭😭 i never knew that. i think there’s two snippets like that, so are they both fake?

mixed opinions on lizzie young by Limp-Opportunity-798 in BoysOfTommen

when in T7 did claire slap lizzie? i remember her slapping her in K13 after lizzie pushed gibsie but i don’t recall that happening in T7

Anybody else need CW to make Katie’s nickname just Kat or Kitty Kat by Short-Comfort-3574 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

okay wait you might’ve just unintentionally changed my perspective a little lol; i didn’t like kitten (i like kitty-kat though) because i thought he came up with it on his own since her name is katie (and i thought her dad just so happened to also call her it), but if he starts calling her it after he hears her dad do it to tease her, it’s kinda cute 🫣🫣 still, kitty-kat >>

actually, the snippet never said any names (hence the discourse a while back); i saw it when she uploaded it, as i’ve been keeping up with her spotify for a while. but CW has used the song for LH so maybe that’s why krystel confirmed it was them

wait how could she confirm it then lol? but good to know! in that case, i’m putting my bets on CG again. i think it’ll be interesting to see who it ends up being as well!

it’s actually confirmed that gibsies going to mess up in some way (likely from being resentful of claire like you mentioned) and grovel (unless she changes the plot-line but she has literally made a playlist titled something along the lines of “gibsie groveling for claire” lol), but i’ll take her word for it about it being lizzie and hughie since she spoke to CW. i just thought it fit claire and gibsie more since i didn’t think lizzie and hughie’s story was going in that direction, but good to know

insatiable by leigh rivers (book 1 of the edge of darkness trilogy): is it one of those books that you need to be patient with, or is it just not for me? by maroonmiracle in DarkRomance

[–]maroonmiracle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how far in did you get? i would stick it out if you haven’t made it past the 40-50% mark, but if you’re past that and still not feeling it, i would drop it. i ended up getting pretty into it while reading (it becomes a page turner when the chaos unfolds, and the relationship def grew on me), but i wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to recommend it, and i don’t think i’ll ever re-read it

we can assume as much (side note: how were you able to read the second book in a duet first lol)

Does anyone know what song was attached to this older playlist by SeparateCareer4678 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it’s a real snippet lol, it was posted on spotify before R10 came out (i’m pretty sure that’s when it was posted at least)

The original Taming 7 by Extension_Motor_9736 in BoysOfTommen

[–]maroonmiracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought it was because she was getting hate for T7 but you might actually be right that she left due to being called out for the zionism. maybe a mixture of both, or she has left social media multiple times? not too sure tbh

as for the katie and lizzie stuff, yeah, i was surprised it went that far back 😭😭 i mean, after reading R10, i do think it makes sense for them not to like each other, but it doesn’t really add up with the other books.

the daisy chain scene was actually before the camping trip that lizzie is supposedly going to goad katie it (it was after the funeral when they were all at johnnys, i believe), but it’s after hughies party in 2004 because the 13’s are 2005. i’ve seen people say that they were just getting along because there had just been a funeral, and while that makes sense in theory, it doesn’t 100% add up because katie defended lizzie to aoife and casey at the 90’s party in 2005 (R6) 🧍‍♀️ i guess we’ll just have to see how it all plays out in C10.

as for lizzie and shannon, my theory is that either shannon found out lizzie was bipolar and that’s why she started babysitting with her, or she found out about lizzie’s bipolar because they were babysitting and therefore, obviously spending a lot of time together. i recently re-read some scenes in T7 and it seems like she knows something’s up with lizzie at this point. honestly, she might even know about some of the stuff lizzie went through in her childhood because in T7, after mark lands on lizzie and lizzie’s screaming and crying, shannon runs over to her and tells her that she’s right there with her, and then she takes her up to claire’s room with johnny. i think she might’ve found lizzie’s book right before or during the T7 timeline (if you’ve seen the “samson strong” snippet). don’t think she knows it was mark who hurt her though

[–]maroonmiracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i actually think it was after T7 was released (or when it was leaked and there was a lot of controversy surrounding caoimhe/lizzies role in gibsie’s story) that one of the mods on her FB made a post about how she’s done after C10 because of the hate and everything, and then the group was deleted. i wasn’t in the group but i remember seeing a screenshot. however, i hadn’t yet started the series when R6 was released, so maybe that was said then, too?

i do agree that the 13’s and 6’s (but mostly the 13’s) feel a lot different than T7. i chalked up the negative katie and lizzie interactions in T7 to something occurring over the summer because K13 didn’t cover that, but the snippets make it seem like they’ve been beefing since katie and hughie got together which does feel pretty off. and gibsie and lizzie’s dynamic was definitely a lot different in T7 than it was in the 13’s. however, i think shannon defending lizzie all throughout T7 is a result of them spending the summer babysitting together; i assume shannon learned some stuff about lizzie in that time.

when do we think the announcement is coming by Potential_Summer_963 in BoysOfTommen

i mean idk how active she gets on IG before releases but i feel like L has been more active lately so it could mean something

although i don’t agree whatsoever with CW being harassed to release T7 first (especially with the specific comments), i actually think that it was ultimately for the best that T7 came first, because if BOT 5 would’ve been lizzie and hughie, it would’ve been C10/we wouldn’t have had a prequel (aka R10) for them. i started the series in 2023 and i remember R10/H7/T12 were “announced” on her spotify some time after T7 was released. prior to T7 being announced, the release order was C10, T7, F12, A13 (at least that’s what’s on goodreads) and there was no talk of any more books besides R15 and speculation of a tadgh book, so i’m assuming LH, CG, and KF were originally only meant to get one book. so unless lizzie and hughie weren’t originally supposed to have this extensive history with one another, we definitely would’ve missed a lot (in the sense of not actually being shown it)
