just watched the finale and i am seething. i cried multiple times during that episode, and most of them came from just looking at ej's face. he looked so broken down, it was honestly heartbreaking.
i don't think i saw him smile once (except maybe during 'in summer'), and you know what the best part of it all was? not a single person seemed to give a shit.

my reasons for averygrayson being endgame:
(because iâm losing faith and need to remind myself)
avery met him first
thereâs always been a trend in which the m/c chooses the first love interest // the one first introduced particularly in the ya genre. weâve seen this with will/tessa, mare/cal, alina/mal (unfortunately) etc. therefore my hope is that j.l.b follows this trend and doesnât diverge with ave choosing jamie.
sheâs also mentioned on twitter the main inspiration behind this relationship is the damon/elena/stephan triangle in the vampire diaries. who does elena meet first? damon. who does elena choose despite having been in a long term relationship with his younger brother, who everybody thinks she initially was going to end up with and preferred? damon. the parallels are so obviously there and leaning in avery/graysonâs favour.
i also wanted to briefly mention the amount of book-equivalent-screen-time (page time if you will) that jameson got in ât.h.lâ â this threw me off ngl but i do think it might be a method of 1) appeasing the avery/jameson people, giving them something to be satisfied with romance wise if she does choose gray and 2) we know j.l.b loves a plot twist. what would be more twisty than making everybody think ave prefers jamie and then having her choose gray (there are lots of subtly dropped hints that she hasnât made any choice at all however so it wonât feel inconsistent with character and plot).
the enemies -> fake dating -> lovers pipeline
no, i didnât start writing ârumoursâ (my avery/gray fanfic if you donât know) based solely on ideas from my own imagination, i have full faith that this is where âthe final gambitâ is taking avery/gray and why would j.l.b introduce such a plot line you may ask if sheâs only going to end up with jamie?? to solve the one problem with the progression of their relationship - graysonâs reservations about hurting jameson (like the selfless boyfriend he is) and thereby pushing avery away at the end of ât.i.gâ.
what fake dating does is force them into close proximity thereby removing the distance and allowing them to realise and confess their feelings since neither can physically step away from it like they have before.
the hospital bed conversation
we hear what jameson says when averyâs knocked out after the plane incident (is this where he tells her how much he loves her?? not 100% sure havenât read it in a few months) and we know gray is also in the room at a few points BUT we donât hear what he has to say because iâm pretty sure ave goes conveniently unconscious while the boys are arguing over her. obviously if it wasnât important it wouldâve been revealed then and there but j.l.b has purposefully made it all mysterious, why?? because heâs probably also confessing his feelings or revealing something about him or jamie that changes the trajectory of the story.
we only see this from jamesonâs perspective. obviously heâs going to tell her how he sat by her side the whole time and all that dramatic stuff that will persuade her to choose him â that sheâs not a game or a prize, that she doesnât have to love him (she doesnât) and on a quick tangent, even as heâs saying this heâs making it into a game?! heads and tails and all that, and the mysterious disc thing he went back for?? everything about him screams that itâs all a competition and a riddle even when he says the opposite, avery even struggles to believe heâs being honest. anyway, back to my initial point, he hasnât told her about graysonâs side of the story, he obviously wouldnât, and like i said grayson never gets the opportunity to tell her either. we donât know how often he was there or what he said outside of the argument she overheard and i wouldnât be surprised that when we are exposed to his perspective (i think we will be in ât.f.gâ) we find out he was there to support her just as often as jamie and/or told her something significant too and/or jameson mislead her.
emily and eve
this is a big one. JAMESON IS NOT OVER EMILY. heâs really not, he never has been in the way grayson is and we see this in how bitter he feels over her death and how he constantly mentions her :/, especially in ât.i.gâ.
whereas gray is very clearly feeling guilty for the way that she passed but THAT IS IT in the way of feeling sorry for her. if any of you have read ârebeccaâ by daphne du maurier and know the role rebecca plays in her widows future marriage, there is a very similar sentiment that surrounds graysonâs relationship with emily. if you have had the pleasure of reading the extra chapter written in his pov after the plane incident he HATES emily and the way she haunts him. he. does. not. love. her. anymore. even if he does seem obsessed.
jameson hasnât reached this revelation yet. he doesnât see her as the monster she was, in some ways he still admires how she played the game and pitted him against his brother (who he still blames btw) and very much has a romantic attachment to her.
what this means going forward you may ask?? eve is already being set up as a double of emily, thrown in to cause drama and potentially be one of the boysâ love interest. therefore if grayson hates emily, then grayson will hate eve. if jameson still loves her, and still loves playing games as we know he does, he will love eve by the same logic, seeing her the same way he did avery â as a game, a riddle, a mystery that is suddenly newer and more interesting. he even tells avery thatâs what he loves about the âhouseâ (meaning his family) that just when one mysteryâs answered thereâs always another, and he will always have a drive to solve it ie. eve comes along as the next puzzle for him to obsess over as it is in his nature.
this leaves ave with grayson, proving that jamie never in fact truly loved her like his brother does and pushes averygray together. we know heâll choose her over and over again above everybody except jamie, as soon as jameson makes that decision for him, gray will be ready too.
the kidnapping
this leads me very quickly to her kidnapping because the end of this book happens so quickly. thea says GRAYSON NOT JAMESON is hurt and needs avery, to essentially lure her into the passage where sheâs kidnapped etc. etc. etc. that says something about how other people view her relationship to both boys. if it was obvious she preferred jamie to everybody else, wouldnât thea use jamie to panic her because it would make her most likely to help him?? but no. she chooses gray. not the most convincing evidence but iâm just saying - everything in lit is a choice to drive either character or plot.
avery doesnât love or trust jameson
heâs fun, nobody can argue or deny that he is a great friend to have and definitely somebody avery needs in her life BUT she does not trust him one little bit and i donât blame her for it. there are points in ât.h.lâ when he comes through the fireplace that she feels âunsafeâ with him and can we please talk about that in contrast to graysonâs promise to protect her?? thereâs a very obvious difference that j.l.b establishes subtly that is very, very important and i think it will come to a point where her character realises the longevity of a relationship with somebody you donât have absolute faith in clearly has itâs limits.
she also doesnât ever âsee him on the cliffâ when she turns around sheâs alone the first time max poses the question after sheâs kissed gray on tv. when sheâs in hospital and asks herself the same question both boys are there (because theyâre physically stood next to her) and finally when jamie confesses he loves her she doesnât ever tell him its reciprocated. she doesnât even tell him heâs the brother she wants to see most when he asks her and ends up kind of dodging the question and half lying to him.
graysonâs emotional intelligence and jamieâs lack of
jameson, libby, alisa etc. all mention at one point how difficult avery is to read, itâs part of what makes her such an interesting character and a good âriddleâ. but grayson?? he can read her like an open book.
the uk cover
iâve defo seen someone else talk about this so if you know who please let me know as this is their theory, but as you may know i am from the UK and therefore have been looking at the british cover for ât.f.gâ on which they are stood on a chess board. averyâs shadow is that of the queen ie. most powerful (obviously) but grayson is the king ie. maybe not the strongest but most important. not jamie - heâs a bishop.
i used to be a little bit of a chess prodigy when i was a kid so i know it like the back of my hand and the bishop donât get me wrong is a valuable piece, but, ultimately disposable, being third most pivotal. i read once that itâs used quite often as a âheroâ piece to challenge the opposing team which i thought was quite interesting in this context.
both boys in my opinion have a saviour complex that really needs some working on and, if iâm honest, i think gray more so than jamie so i was a little confused with why heâs not the bishop. BUT i realised that itâs in jamesons nature to be outwardly heroic, he wants attention and recognition for his good deeds (not to mention he is challenging) where gray is much more withdrawn and private, not to mention utterly selfless, so thatâs my reasoning if you will.
the obvious point to this though is that the king and queen are a partnership that work to protect each other for the sake of winning the game, therefore avery and gray are going to end up together and essentially âwinningâ.
who doesnât love emotionally distant, blonde boys? and j.l.bâs previous writing
does aaron warner ring any bells?? great character development, a similar enemies -> frenemies -> one of the most loved love interests in ya. potentially grayson is following in his footsteps. then thereâs draco malfoy for the dark academia vibes and although i know he never really had a romantic subplot in hp, it doesnât stop him from being the fan favourite. apparently there are also parallels with gray and the chosen love interest in âthe naturalsâ (j.l.bâs previous series) in which there was a similar love triangle thing going on so itâs something to keep in mind that sheâs made a similar decision before.
i know thereâs a lot of evidence in jamieâs favour too, primarily the nickname thing, and i might be completely wrong about all of this but i am convinced that grayson will be averyâs final love interest. if you have any more reasons why/theories please tell me them!! i need so much more reassurance <3

A good Friend from me, looked in my Box with memories. She then looked at me and said: "U always had People around u, who loved you. I wished i had this too." My eyes got sad and with a empty smile I said: Do you know, why this photos are in this box? Because the people doesn't exist anymore in my Life. It started from 2014 to 2019, and none of them, is part of my life now. They're all gone. All i had from them, are these Photos. And then, there was a time before 2013, were i was all alone.

âIf you love something, itâs never really gone. Not because itâs in your heart. Because itâs in your external hard drive. Seriously, go empty your external hard drive. Itâs been, what, like ten years now?â
