you know i've seen a lot of people say oak and suren don't have sizzling chemistry or whatever like jurdan do and i just think that it's not, you know, the same /kind/ of chemistry but still
they don't have the enemies to lovers tension but...see.
oak brushing suren's hair, untangling the curls the way he did with his sisters and mothers hair
oak buying the hairpin for her and pinning it on her hair
oak playing that game with the fox pieces just as they did when they were children and letting suren win but then telling her she owes him a dance
when suren pinned the hairpin on his hair in that scene in the boat
this....whole paragraph
i think their appeal is their tenderness and the way they're so familiar with each other thanks to their childhood friendship. Idk I don't think we should expect Jurdan 2.0 with everything HB writes. Suren and Oak have their own beauty. They're a great example of friends to lovers done well (at least only in the first book) and with substance.

So I was listening to the MME music video and I noticed this in the extended verse
Sure thatโs indirectly calling Jinx Ekkoโs goddess but remember- Zaunโs main goddess is Janna, the god of fresh air
The lyrics are implying that Jinx isnโt just Ekkoโs goddess but his breath and his salvation.
Lin: Kya and I are having a baby.
Mako: That's gre-
Lin, slamming adoption papers on the table: It's you, sign here
I've seen people say that Jessica doesn't care enough about Gwen. That she didn't do anything to help her. But the truth is, Jess was the only parental figure Gwen had. Willingly.
I am not saying that she was like a mother to her, no. That is not true.
But she cared enough to be present in Gwen's life. The only adult who spends time with her. Who checks on her. Who acts a little bit like a parent.
She drew a line.
She wasn't Gwen's mother, but neither just a mentor.
Jess helped her more than any other adult ever did.
And she cares.
And if anyone says that Jess didn't, I'll just let those here. Just in case
"She does care about Gwen"
"Jessica's care and concern about Gwen..."
"Just to make her happy"
Your opinion?
Miles loves to sneak up on Gwen when he's invisible and surprise her with a kiss
Gwen learns Spanish because she wants Rio to like her
Post BTSV, Gwen wears Miles' hoodie more than he does
Miles goes to every single one of the Mary Janes shows and he's the loudest one in the crowd
Miles learns all the lyrics to every song Gwen wrote (most of them are about him)
They have two weddings. One on Earth-65, the other on Earth-1610
Their movie nights are super long because they watch it twice. One version from Miles' dimension and the other from Gwen's
Gwen buys Miles sunflowers all the time.
Crime fighting becomes so much easier when they get together. It always feels like they're on a date
Their wedding rings keep them from glitching in other dimensions
They babysit Mayday for Peter B all the time
It's great practice for Charlotte and Max
Just like Peter B, they can't stop sharing pictures of their kids
Their mental connection gets stronger the longer they're together. It gets to the point where neither one can sleep when the other can't. Even if they're not in the same universe
After a long day, Gwen puts Miles' head in her lap to help him relax
Miles likes to be the big spoon so he can hold onto Gwen
Gwen doesn't care which one she is as long as she can touch him. No matter which one, she always holds onto his hands
Ok I'm like grasping at straws here and not getting my hopes up but Kerri Maniscalco mentioning she would like recs for second chance romances gives me a tiny bit of hope that maybe we'll get the Pride and Claudia/Lucia second chance romance that I long for!! Hoping praying crossing fingers! I want it so bad!
To be clear, Jinx didnโt magically go from being schizophrenic and severely mentally unstable to โjust a little quirky and chaoticโ from season 1 to season 2. Sheโs just not living with and dependent on someone who is actively trying to make her mental health worse for his personal gain anymore.
Also, adopting a kid and receiving unconditional love again for the first time in almost 10 years probably helped a lot. As did reconnecting with her sister whom she was manipulated into believing was the cause of her problems and pain.
Insane that Jinx showed the โworstโ of herself to the child to drive the kid away only for the child to see the humanity in Jinx and risk their life to save her
