Don't get me wrong, i get what Augustus is trying to do. But fighting Lucy's battles behind her back is not what she probably wants. And as far as we know Mikes presence in the square may not be what's actually getting to lucy. She could very much just be having a bad time and backsliding. But how will she handle this?

2025-09-14 23:02:10 +0000 UTCFinally Lucy and Mike in the same location again. Hopefully this leads to them talking and both sides admitting their faults and finding a way to move forward. It's very clear that staying out of each others way and letting everything stay unresolved is not working for anyone

2025-09-14 07:50:24 +0000 UTCAlso, I don't know if I'm slow, but many characters have been looking increasingly bedraggled and unkempt from the mental strain they have endured over the years. Give these cats a spa day.

2025-09-13 05:33:02 +0000 UTCAugustus and Lucy are my fave and I don't think she's sticking up to Mike. I think she just doesn't want be "that bad guy" and wants to do what's right, by understanding that you can't really force someone to not go somewhere because of her. Currently she cares about Augy more than anyone else, she doesn't want him to stoop so low. They might have a fight over this but I don't think it will be a long one.

2025-09-13 01:07:06 +0000 UTCI love this take because the Abby/Augustus parallels 👀 just trauma of losing a close woman loved one and projecting that guilt onto a random teen girl in their circle

2025-09-12 21:44:39 +0000 UTCSo glad that Mike decided to agree to a boundary and then go back on his word, really excited to see one of the last positive relationships Lucy has left fall apart because she's sticking up for a guy who's always choosing to let her down in return.

2025-09-12 20:16:39 +0000 UTCI suddenly had a thought. Could be that Augustus loosing control over this and aggressively inssisting to win is because he has an unresolved trauma regarding how he couldn't protect Melanie and she almost died? Now he worries to fail protecting Lucy as well. If so it can be an intresting point to expand on.

2025-09-12 17:53:09 +0000 UTCOooh I'm excited to see James' reaction if he recognizes Lucy from the arcade. I feel like Mike is gonna deer in headlights even harder since Lucy showed up. He was pro

2025-09-12 17:39:18 +0000 UTC“Get back in your shame box” isn’t a justified angle, Auggie. Kids do shit on their friends behalf all the time, but often it is just an excuse to sublimate their own suffering, and rarely is it genuinely helpful to anyone.

2025-09-12 17:37:24 +0000 UTCYeah, also Lucy is not a vengeful, bad person. She doesn't want any of this. Just to stay away from all that.

2025-09-12 17:31:28 +0000 UTCLETS GOOOOOO LUCY!!!!

Joselyn Rivera
2025-09-12 17:16:11 +0000 UTCBEST PERSON TO STOP AUGUSTUS, HELL YEAH! See, Mike? Lucy doesn't want to see you suffering, either! She just knows that right now you both keep hurting each other, and wants to avoid it as long as she can.

H O W U N E X P E C T E D seriously you asshole if you think she's lying about herself that's your problem, not Mike's

2025-09-12 17:06:02 +0000 UTCYou know shit hitting the fan if Lucy is force to step in to a situation she doesn't want to be in.
