"The Sunshine Court"
Nora. Where. Is. The. Sunshine.
I don’t feel like there is any sunshine or sunny thing IN THIS MF BOOK FULL OF TRAUMA.
Where is the sunshine Nora… where is it…
In preparation for The Golden Raven, here’s my little Bingo prediction cards.
(One of these are more serious than the other.)
I have many of thoughts about TSC. But to start off, I'm incredibly curious about Jeremy.
This book is dual POV between Jean and Jeremy. But the story revolves around Jean's journey. I think it makes a lot of sense considering he's been through so much—he needs the focus and time to get to where he is at the end. He's ready to open up and become his own person now for the next book. If that focus wasn't there on him, we might not fully feel this. Or if the focus was equally split, it might be a lot for one book. Cause I think Jeremy's got his own demons.
We know it's hinted at throughout. But that's it. Hints. Even in Jeremy's POV we barely get any insight. @kevindavidday mentioned that this very much might be done on purpose to show how Jeremy deals with his issues. Or that he doesn't deal with them, instead he distracts himself with those around him and tries to help them (i.e. Jean).
So just to go over what we know:
- Jeremy has a tumultuous relationship with his family.
- His family does not like Exy. They resent him for it.
- He doesn't get along with his step grandfather.
- Something odd about his siblings.
- He specifically avoids his older brother.
- Something happened after one of the banquets.
- He's gone/going to therapy, which apparently had helped him significantly.
- Despite him not liking living at home, there's an insinuation that he has to.
One theory I really want to put out there is about Jeremy's siblings. When Jean learns about the siblings, Cat stutters before saying the number. It leads me to believe that Jeremy's second brother is dead.
Taking into account that we have one scene with Jeremy's sister and at least know his older brother is in the house, that leaves one sibling unaccounted for. And considering the pause before saying the number, I think this indicates Cat was going to say "Two."
Taking this theory, does this connect to the banquet? Or at least why his family doesn't like Exy? There seems to have been an event that changed their family forever. Did his brother die because of something related to Exy?
Also who is his grandfather? Wealthy and seems to be a horrible person considering Jeremy of all people does not like him at all. What did he do to get Jeremy not to like him? Is he going to be a bigger player in the next book? Does he have a similar threatening influence that many high power figures have in the series?
I'm really excited to get these answers. We've spent so much time with Jean and his journey, I'm wilding to see Jeremy's. And how Jean might help him, just like how has Jeremy helped Jean.
I have things to say about their dynamic, too, but I'll leave that for a different post.
Endure, he warned himself, and on its tail-end came a desperate How much must I?
Then proceeds to say he hates Kevin
I love them both so much 🥺🥺🥺
Their interactions make me wanna hug my pillow, crawl in fetal position and just stay there forever. At the same time I wanna punch a wall, bc how could Riko and Tetsuji hurt so much those two beatifull souls and also make them hurt each other just to survive
I swear, I cant
the way jean speaks about and interacts with kevin is so… *gestures vaguely*
“he has earned the right to be arrogant” SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
“stupid, beautiful kevin” oh! ok i didn’t need my heart anyway
“you are supposed to be better than this” “you have always known what i am” well that’s great for you two! meanwhile i am clawing at the walls of my enclosure
“unspoken: you cannot refuse me” hit like a blow to the head tbh
As someone who lives in socal i really hope theres a scene of jean and co getting In N Out in tgr or tsc3.
