This is why I call him a coward and I’m glad Aniya did too. He had multiple chances to suggest a friendship couple if he truly felt he had nothing in common with her. He didn’t. Instead, he leaned into the “black love” narrative early on and was scared to be unraveled when Sol came, so he didn’t explore. He knew he was struggling with the rejection of day one and that he had no feelings for her and kept stringing her along because he wanted to have his cake and eat it too. A friendship couple would’ve given him the opportunity to do whatever he wanted to do but he refused to admit he was using her as a safe option like she suspected. Everyone keeps acting like ethical exploration has never been a thing on love island and I’m so sick of it. He’s just a coward.
My thing about KC is that, he can’t just find someone and be happy. He wants Aniya to be miserable, so that he can stay happy and feel like he won. That comment he made about Gal making Aniya an omelette was weird. Men like that don’t believe the women they “discard” deserve joy.
Another thing, the difference in the way KC and Aniya talk about their new connections is stark. KC cannot talk about Titi without mentioning what he feels he didn’t get from Aniyah. Aniyah only compliments Carl and their connection.
I remember kc telling sol that he hates seeing women cry when she was crying over the pie challenge but he laughing at Aniya crying oh ok #loveislandusa
and kc always ready to speak on aniya with anyone else BUT her cause all this “i don’t want to go first” bs….you had no problem speaking up to everyone else loser
you can tell its getting under corbin’s skin that the girls dont like him anymore im crying he thought he would come back into the villa as president general #loveislandusa
oooh yk what since the villa and casa girls r “friends” now they should show the villa girls complimenting the casa girls during the heart rate challenge and then pan to the casa girls talking shit abt them at movie night
Yes! I’d rather no one dumb down their culture for anyone. Even within the African continent, I highlight words and research them to understand the context because they don't dumb it down and definitely don't need to. The research aspect is part of reading!
The only hand-holding authors should decide to do is add a glossary.
While we're still on this conversation about storytelling, can someone explain the Nigerian author's obsession with Lagos? 35 other states and Nigerian fiction keeps finding its way back to Lagos. We're tired please. Where are the Makurdi stories? Edo? Can somebody amuse us?
