I actually mentioned this before in a WS discussion on tiktok if Wet Sand weren’t a manhwa but a novel with no visual storytelling, I wonder if people would still like TJ’s character. In books, writers have to be very specific and descriptive about characters emotions and actions to help readers fully understand, feel and imagine the story.
Which is like so annoying 19 year history of abuse and enduring shit he shouldn’t have to endure if tj really love him. Tj always me me me and never about ian is always stay for ME or ill tie you down and make you stay for me buying houses that no one ask for and never listening to ian and what he wants if he really love ian that day he was going to leave he would have let him and not done what he did to prevent ian from following his dreams!! i honestly hated when he cut his hair and came back like “guess whose back from jail!!” like what manipulation tactic is this cutting ur hair to a specific time where ian only had u to rely on ugh!
i see more than once, people come in here rooting for TJ without reading the story...like girl where you fromm??!!
there a lot people start reading ws like that...i read a lot mafia stuff and he is suck in many way lol without smut i dont think he going to survive...i dont like a manchild (emotionally immature) character
Yes and he is so arrogant, He is the most annoying and mostly ugly. I cant take a gangster named TJ seriously. That like the least intimidating gangster name in the history of gangster names.
I got twitter again but Jeez its so annoying how many TJ stans there are and they are analyzing the story in a very obvious manner when Doyak said it would not be obvious.
I think it whould end the way it started with them looking at each like the balcony scene and then smiling at each other. (No conversation, just the eyes talkin) I think it would be such a powerful scene
To me this story isnt about Ian falling in love with someone new but actually discovering what love is and I think thats why TJ stans have this belief TJIAN will he end game because of the focus on their relationship. You can't call what Ian and TJ have love because its rooted in such negative emotions, and love is not a negative emotion and if TJ is all Ian has known, how can that be love. He doesn't have any bonds with any one else. TJ is is friend, lover and family and that is so sad.
BUT
I view it differently. I think Doyak is showing us all of this because its not easy to just end a 20 year relationship (situationship in this case) easily but its not impossible.
And its funny how they believe because its 19 years it makes it stronger. NO! its actually even more sad because one person has been unhappy and miserable that long and they really think its out of love and not habit.
This is Ians story and the influence Jo and fugly face have in his life. Its not just another love story but sometimes it seems that is all TJ stans reduce his character "TJs love interest"
Bro they are so delusional even if JoIan get married they wont believe Ian loves Jo.
I saw a tweet by them the other day. It so tiring honestly.
Basically the tweet was about how TJ and Ian could joke about the time both them were with other people but Ian can never joke about TJ with Jo because he would feel insecure.
Ugh they make so mad. I am deleting that app. Those TJ stans are everywhere like a plague.
Yeah, Ian and TJ will meet for sure for final closure after Ian’s self-healing journey. I mean they are still important for each other, let’s not erase that. I think they’re looking at the color symbolism like the “yellow” as for TJ but personally, I think the yellow color for TJ is for promotional purposes but not in the story. I often see the yellow color in Jo’s panels a lot. And compared to Jo and Ian’s eyes dyk always highlighted their eyes’ color blue and purple.

I geniuely will blow my shit smooth off if ian magically ends up with tj tj the worst choice possible is like relapsing into doing drugs!!!
Tj genuinely not a yearner just a asshole he didn’t yearn like jo because jo was outside on the dark nyc streets taking pictures of this beautiful man on his fire escape yearning for glimpses and a conversation he wanted that COOKIE BADDD!! tj had the cookie and stomp on it and abuse it and then when someone else wants the cookie he now also wants it back bad u miss ur chance bozo!!! jo was out here knocking and staying even when ian push him away and even now that ian just riding into the sunset and leaving he didn’t beg for him to stay he wish him the best and to continue and choose the best for him if this was tj he cripple ian ass one more time and tie him down again THAT MAN NOT A YEARNER!!!!!!!!!!
And people always in this comments especially tj stans talking about some this is fictional yaoi u guys take this seriously NEW GENS if u actually enjoy yaoi u physically become emotionally involved in the story like i want whats better for the character not just mindless abuse and sex
anyways i wish tj was a apple snail so i could flip that mf upside down and throw spects of salt on him while is like the most humid and hot day outside i dont play about my hatred for that man!!
