#bless jack wolfe tho <3 not his fault at all that the writers don't understand the character and his nuances.

Do I think the wesper scenes were cute? Yes. The actors are ridiculously so authentic in their roles

But did I also think the pacing, writing, directing and character relationships assassination build up was off? Absolutely.

Maybe it’s cz I’m somewhere on the ace spectrum…but I just feel Wylan would so not do one night stands/be reckless like that.

and especially knowing his background. Otherwise a very young boy who’s been isolated and left out his entire life, who just fled his murderous father and is on the run trying to maintain a cover—-nah fam

i get what you mean. sure they're cute, i agree. and their actors are doing their best. but their relationship and dynamic is so devoid of meaning compared to their slowburn book version. and yeah, the off-screen wesper hookup is such a curveball. it does kind of seem like an un-wylan thing to do, especially because i CANNOT even imagine a reasonable scenario in which wylan and jesper would have crossed paths in (presumably) the barrel that could have led to them hooking up. how did that random one night stand even come to be????? i don't assume wylan was doing rounds in the pubs and clubs, approaching handsome young strangers. he was probably keeping a low profile, staying out of people's way to avoid any trouble and attention, since, you know, his dad had JUST tried and failed to have him MURDERED..... i can't imagine finding someone to smooch was high on his list of priorities upon arriving in the barrel. i think he was more busy trying to survive on the streets. and we really need to remember, like you mentioned, that he grew up isolated and secluded to a degree that people barely even know he exists. i think it's fair too assume he isn't well practiced when it comes to social interactions. so diving headfirst into a sexual encounter with someone—no matter your sexuality—seems a little extreme when you're just starting to connect to people your age for the first time in your life. it's really not something that makes a lot of sense when you look at it too closely.
