why is so many ppl in this comment failed to understand the story
its honestly sad to see how a masterpiece like this with such intentional writing being criticise by stupid ppl. saying she rushed the character development or dragging the story or choosing the toxic one or whatever just doesn't make sense when its been clear from the start she wrote it as a noir tragedy with complexity and angst, it isnt rainbow and sunshine or a straight line romance. these kind of bl stans lacks media literacy and its showing. just dropped the story instead of whining about the writing and the fandom, its so easy to understand when you dont pick a side and enjoy the story
I've been saying if they want a fluffy romance bl, wet sand isnt for them. they dont have the mental capacity to understand the depth of the story and each characters. theyre saying the recent chapters doesn't make sense. but it does, cause all throughout season 1, we were given tj's pov on how he's been doubting himself and his goals. doyak literally showed us tj questioning his choices and even when tj left ian, ian himself, even when he's starting to care for jo, at the back of his mind, he's thinking of tj. while ians playing house with jo, he was also hiring someone to look for tj . doyak literally revealed it on tjian reunion, ian said he was miserable when tj left him and now i see people doing mental acrobats how TJ's action make no sense when it was there all along
righttttt everytime i see those ppl talked about how tj never actually love ian and he was obsessed with owning him instead of being with him fell for his own lies. in s2, the flashbacks were from tj pov and whole time he was lying to himself until it finally breaks in chapter 93. they think the panels where jason was manipulating tj since the beginning was just decoration like no jason was the one who dictated tj's decisions for nearly 2 decades and tj sense of loyalty towards jason as his mentor and teacher was making him more amd more confused. there's a reason why doyak killed jason, it isnt just on the surface level reasons, its to show that tj finally can maoe his own decisions without any outside influence cuz now hes the first in command of his gang. it isnt rushed at all they read the story wrong and make it everybody's problem. in their mind its all black and white, toxic vs healthy, good vs evil like go read some sloppy bl instead of this masterpiece.
wetsand isn't a black and white story, it has always been complicated. a lot of ypu guys read wetsand on a surface level instead of understanding it. doyak deserves better readers than a lot of yall in these comments. you are mad cuz you don understand it, always judging base on whats the right thing to do but never understand why the story is going this way. its a story about fate and how love can be twisted. jo is never ian first choice but thats who he settled with cuz he cant have tj. this story is about growth for all three of them so pls reread it with a different perspective and try to understand it in a deeper level instead of surface level
at the end of the day, its ian's choice. if he thinks leaving with jo is right for him he will choose jo but if he thinks he's gonna give his relationship with another chance and felt thats right with him, he will choose tj
hes a 35 who survived the streets, not a stupid 20 something years old man. he dont need saving or people telling him whats the right choice for him. he's capable of making his own decisions, bad or good. so whoever the endgame is, its his choice. i love him so much, i just wat him to be happy with whoever he choose.
I'm not a fan of this series in general, as such 'love triangles' are hella stressful for me, especially when till the end it's only back and forward, but I think people are mostly hating Ian's indecision in all of that... It's true that Doyak kinda dragged the story, but it's exactly the author's choice to outline Ian's train of thought, good or bad, depending on which fandom she wants to please, but in general, I agree with what you said
no, doyak wrote the story beautifully. you dint write a story involving gang like you write a story with normal life setting. she isn't pleasingnanybody, she already finished the main concept and storyline before she even started to design the characters. she has always been consistent in telling the stories. them being baack and forward shows that ian is struggling to choose the love of his life for 20 years and the life he really wanted, away from the gang. tje story is humanly complex and in reality, making decisions like this isnt as easy as we thought it would. the whols timeline of the story is probably around 4 to 6 months so the pacing is actually perfect, i disagree with her dragging the story out cuz its more than just a love story. she gve tj and ian relationship depth and meaningful, while gave jo and ian relationship lights and hope. shes a great writer
Well, if, like you said, Doyak had a storyline planned since the beginning with a maybe good ending (which is not so obvious in some aspects of the plot), hopefully there will be a good resolution at the end, giving hope and showing that this series had a purpose, and not being just one another, where the whole story was just to give angst and no progress in the situation and characters development by the end. Because this is what a good story in general should be for, to give a message, so let's hope that we will se anything like that here, and that there will be no changes in the original (hopefully good) plan because of a kinda crazy fandom at the moment







6 years ago i told myself to pick up this again after it finished.....its still on going
