I mean, I signed up for the love story between the 2 guys, I don't care about her story lmao. You're right, I'm such an insensitive and pathetic person to not care about a side character. You also confirmed that she acted like a brat, you can pity her if you want, but I won't lmao. She's annoying bc he told her to stop, to be careful but she didn't listen to him and now he's hurt. Nobody's talking about her trauma bc it's not the point. Having a trauma is not an excuse for everything and we can pity her bc of her situation but still be annoyed with her behavior.
Babe, i'm talking about people who are saying "Ugh she's so annoying, she could've done blah blah" in the comments. You don't have to follow her story, chile.
As for the "having trauma is not an excuse for everything", she's a fucking CHILD! Tell me, when you were a child- I'm talkin 4th grade bs- did you act the way you wanted to right now? Of course you fucking didn't. It's a traumatic ass experience having your dad leave you, she's STILL in denial.
She doesn't HAVE trauma, she's GOING THROUGH IT. Her dad JUST left, of course she'll act like a brat. Finding it frustrating is okay, blaming her for acting this way is not. People often say "Having trauma is not an excuse" when someone commits a CRIME like murder, rape, etc... where people try to ignore the wrongdoings using this excuse (which is bs. It's a REASON, not an EXCUSE) but this isn't even a highschooler, this is a CHILD whose father just left. Reread the chapter with that in mind and you'll probably get what i mean.
Also, "we can pity her bc of her situation but still be annoyed". I agree. The point i'm getting at is people blaming HER for reacting like this, i've seen some say "Idk if her father died, i'm not paying attention, but she's being annoying" which is real fuckin insensitive in my opinion. "She's being annoying" and "Ugh, she could've done ____ instead of being a brat" are two different things, i was talking about the latter.
I get your point, but even if she's just a child with a trauma, it's still not an excuse. An adult told her to stop, to be careful, that it was dangerous and she didn't listen to him. Any child is able to listen to an adult, it really has nothing to do with her trauma. Her, who's in denial doesn't excuse the fact that she purposely didn't listen to this adult and hurt him in the process bc of that. We are not talking about the fact that she ran away. I mean, everybody can understand her situation and even if it's stupid, she's just a poor child in denial who don't understand her sad situation and so we can all be understanding about it. But that's not what we're talking about, we are annoyed when he said to stop and be careful, that it was dangerous and to give him back the dog she had stolen, she's was like "bitch fuck you I don't give a shit, shut the fuck up" and this was pretty much stupid and annoying, and this has nothing to do with her situation and she could have listened to him bc her situation or the fact that she's just a child is not a reason to react like this. She was just being a brat. Any child is able to listen to an adult who says "stop it" or "give MY dog back" or "be careful" and the fact that she had lost her parents is definitely not an excuse (compared to the fact that she ran away to find them). We're annoyed bc she's a brat and even you, you confirmed that she was.
She's like that one annoying ass lil sister lol
but seriously, i'm not talking about people who are annoyed with her, i'm talking about people going "She should've done better" with no consideration that she's scared of going to a place she's not familiar with and that she wants to go to her father, yk?
I see my younger bratty ass self in her cause and i can't count the amount of times i said "No, screw you" to an adult telling me to be careful cause i thought i was strong enough to deal with the situation. You can see the regret in her eyes by the end of that chapter but it doesn't excuse the fact that she did wrong, i know that. Some people made jokes about how annoying she is, others were like "bruh, she's annoying the fuck outta me" but there were some who were.. really insensitive? "Oh her dad died i think, i wasn't paying attention. Anyways, she's such a brat smh" i think, which rubbed me the wrong way and i had to type sumn against that haha
In conclusion, children are dumb
Y'all treating this CHILD, who's probably not even 10, as some adult. She's still a fucking child, of COURSE she'll act like a brat if she's put in a stressful situation like this. Losing a parent is fucking traumatic for a child and y'all calling her "sO aNnOyInG" for having the last fucking string of hope that her father will come back is so fucking pathetic. Your llack of empathy shouldn't even surprise me anymore.
Anyways, i love this story so far, waiting for more! Thanks, uploader!
