continuing the yearly tradition, paulo and lucy for valentines
shout out to my bisexuals out there. hell yeah.
back to my paulo david roots. these are actually kinda old but i edited and slapped half-tones on them.
guess who read all of bittersweet candybowl over the last 72 hours.
took me about 60 chapters to figure out why I love Paulo- he reminds me of a different pervert with a heart of gold
I was rereading bcb recently and noticed something about Daisy. In Total Recall, she told Ausustus that he needed help even if it wasn’t from her, but she does a 180 in It’s All in the Mind when Lucy reveals that she’s helping him. It felt interesting since her initial response was more mature. I was wondering about your take on this since I felt like there could be different factors.
I'd be sure when Daisy said that there had not a thought in her mind that that exact person who would help Augustus would coincidentally and ironically be the same girl whom she envied, as every other boy she fancied found themselves more attracted to them, let alone find refuge in her basement.
There's not too much to unpack, Daisy was surprised and caught off guard that another boy she liked had found herself with Lucy and that grated on her. It's pretty easy to see why she's so miffed considering EVERY boy she had been attracted to are in one way or another attracted to Lucy, like Paulo or Mike (before she moved on). Lucy was competition up until the end of All in the Mind, Lucy's return to Roseville meant it would be harder for her to try and get Paulo or Mike's attention. It was looking to be a return to the freshmen years when Daisy would just be ignored. More over, Augustus was one of the rare boys who found themselves legitimately liking Daisy too, but his circumstances for getting involved with her ruined any chance of her actually starting a relationship with him, but finding out that he's pretty much living in the basement of her house is almost scandalous. Finding and retaining a belief that Lucy was wrapping Augustus around her finger is rubbing salt in the wound.
We could be pretty sure that Daisy is sincere in her belief Augustus needs help. As much as Daisy would want to help and that she likely could, Augustus is far too attracted to her for her to be the right person, and this adds to the turmoil.
read it either way i just love them
Sorry for the delay! It's because y'all didn't just write down a single character's name for the written sections like I so desperately asked!
