THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR NOT SIDING WITH ANYONE AND FOR SAYING THIS, THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO EVERYONE LIKE PLS THEYRE BOTH HAVE THEY OWN REASON
their*
I can't fathom how some people could side with one of them and downright hating the other. As if the goal of the story wasn't for them to be together. Like both of them are complex characters with multiple layers. It would be unfair to judge them by their actions on one occasion without looking for the reasons behind those said actions. Or these two are simply just my babies and i want to protect them from all the mischaracterizations from the fandom
I COULD LOL, i always a firm believer of blaming people who started the problem rather than people who react to that problem. I dont like hearing "they are both wrong" And that "both wrong" people is one the initiator and the other is someone who doesnt like it and fires back. not the same level of wrong.
I know people will always think "Skylar is overreacting" not one, not even one time he started the problem and caused the pain intentionally to cirrus in their relationship, he's always doing the "bad" when reacting to that problem cirrus started. so yeah, I'm probably the rare person in this fandom (the english speaking litc fandom) who openly blame cirrus. as for korean fandom knows that this is the shit cirrus get. the manipulative tag in the official is not there for no reason, that's a special tag only for cirrus
ik that its the consequenses that cirrus would have to face sooner or later, but it was never justified to use cirrus trauma knowing well hes hurt and only opened up to him (cirrus did this too to skylar (but with his own assumption and being annoying) and thats why theyre both wrong) skylar was easily get angry and getting violence, cirrus is manipulative and wronged skylar so many times ik how infuriating it was when seeing ppl only see skylar as the bad guy bc he hit cirrus and said yk in that recent chapter, while forgetting that cirrus got that for a reason, they suddenly forgot what skylar has to go through the whole 2 season (im actually understand skylar action more than cirrus, but i need to acknowledge that cirrus tried to change too and why he did that on that moment) ah shit i cant pick a side sorry bro
the thing is if you read litc skylar bad things are always the reaction. I love both, but come on now, okay they are both wrong, but one person is obviously the cause and that's cirrus. If people want to blame they should put their energy to people who caused it rather than someone who reacts.
in the chapter 116 it might sounds like skylar used cirrus trauma, but you should understand how the conversation went before skylar drop that lines.
basically like this, i shorten it.
skylar : why are you lying?
cirrus : I didnt thin MY feelings would grow, I was happy, I was scared to tell you because I enjoy our time together, I, I, I, me, me, me, MY feelings are real!
skylar (Finally) : How do you know it's love when you never grow up with it, YOU just use me to fill your void.
cirrus : *Standing there stunned, not even trying to deny that statement*
Skylar HAS a point saying that, though I know, with skylar personality he would feel bad and apologize, like always.
In korean fandom, people criticize how cirrus is just standing there cowardly and not chase after skylar. meanwhile international english speaker fandom blame skylar for "overreacting" and being "emotional"
It’s vague to say one person is the cause when their mental health plays a role in it. I do agree that Cirrus has provoked Sky though, and thus leading to Sky’s reactions. I also think Sky’s reactions (beating, using trauma) is too far, but I know it’s valid. I’d probably do the same.
As much as some don’t wanna admit, they went into a relationship too early. They literally skipped the friendship stage, in my opinion.
Skylar wanted to hide their relationship, Cirrus felt that he wasn’t loved or something and felt Sky was distant, leading to more of his insecurities opening up or just worsening.
As much as I did dislike what Sky said, he isn’t too wrong when he said: How can you love when you grew up without it?
I do think it was harsh, but of course things like this will happen when being provoked a lot or specifically here, lied to right in the face. I know Cirrus was scared to lose what they have, so wrong timing, but he really should’ve come clear before they even dated.
But they both rushed into things. I can’t say both are evil, they’re struggling. I can only hope for the best, even if it means they may not end up together. Healing over dating at the moment, is my priority.
Okay gang, here's my thoughts after reading the latest chapter in raw. I think both of them having it rough when the talk(fight) happened. Cirrus with candy deteriorating health and him having to confront the consequence of their fight in front of the convenience store while also hiding it from skylar for his sake. Skylar with the amount of informations he got from dongshit and chanil that indicates how manipulative cirrus was and the possibility that cirrus' feelings are never real from the start, while dongshit might reveal their relationship out anytime.
Cirrus struggles with anxiety and fear of abandonment. The thought of losing both candy and skylar haunted him, and now one of them seems to get realer than the other (thank god candy's doing okay for now). While skylar struggles with trust and fear of being betrayed by the one he loves (aside of his fear of being outted but that's for another topic).
Skylar did give cirrus a benefit of doubt. He even said he's the one who knows cirrus best, that even though it's all turned out to be true he wants to hear it from cirrus himself. But cirrus lied out of fear of losing him when the topic brought up, without knowing that it'll backfires.
Had cirrus honest when skylar asked him, it won't be this bad. Yeah it won't justify what he's done in the past, but it shows his regrets and willingness to ask for forgiveness. So skylar thought that if the feelings are true cirrus sure will be honest with him right? He gotta regret what he's done right? But noooo he just gotta lie with a straight face as if it was nothing. So even after all those tears and sorrys dropped nothing changes because the trust has been broken.
Bet they both felt a huge amount of pain. And we all know how skylar's always responded when someone inflict pain on him, it's to inflict the same or even deeper cut onto them. It's one of his flaw that we all can criticize without hating on him because afterall they're just an 18 y.o teenagers with bunch of traumas and painful childhood.
I have faith that skylar'll regret it later. It'll be a great character development for him. But as of now i think they both needs time away from each other. I also have a faith that chanil might take a step to reach cirrus out first to fix their misunderstanding and hopefully that'll also indirectly help skyrus fix their relationship. Sooner or later skylar will also get to know about the situation cirrus hid from him and maybe that'll make him realize that the feelings are indeed real. And when they get back together they'll beat tf out of dongshit once and for all. Trust guys. Trust.
That's all i have to say, sorry for the bad grammar i just want to vent my thoughts somewhere and it just to be here. Pls bear with me. Thank you
