@gothfujoshi1 No one wants Jo to be an orphan, but stop acting like having a safety net doesn't change the stakes. Having a family isn't a fault, but it IS a cushion. Jo’s desire for Ian is real, but his risk isn't the same. He’s never lived a day without a backup plan.+
@gothfujoshi1 Jo has never experienced life without a safety net, regardless of whom he's risking it for, which explains his strong desire to take risks. If you can't see the difference, that's your issue. I have no problem with that 😊.
@gothfujoshi1 There’s a world of difference between his 'fearless ignorance' and the 'conscious bravery' of those who’ve survived hell and still choose to fight their way back.
@gothfujoshi1 Jo was born into a safety net. His stability isn't a reward for effort, it’s his birthright. He’s willing to risk it all for Ian, but he’s never known a life without that cushion.+
@erney007 And life gives Jo an Ian who's already out of the gang, free, and living on his own terms 🙂.
What if Jo had met TJ’s Ian? The one still struggling with addiction, hunted by dangerous people, and even involved in a murder?+
