2021-08-20 15:26:30 +0000 UTCNo lie, aug intentions is strong. The fact he seen Lucy development to the fact he witness her breakdown first hand. Lucy didn't go to her brother she went to Aug. She went to him because if you see it, Aug and her sort of became close when they had those development of being in each other shoes. We all seeing it pan out to something now. Like Aug would have still be in a bad place if it wasn't for Lucy. Lucy would have been in the ground if it wasn't for Aug. Pretty much Aug was her backbone as Lucy was his strengths in all this. They both felt like outcast and made it up with some solid growth. For Aug to step it, he didn't want to see Lucy on her lowest again. He had watch this girl hurt herself from Mike actions as well to get reflect on her pass behavior. Then to see Mike pretty to much put her on the back burner for Sandy. It's like he legit watch her on the mountain top then kicked her over while he took that place. He legit kicked her in the Mud. Aug legit see her with the mud on her face. He's cleaning up what Mike did to her. I hope Aug get Mike to understand. He legit made Lucy turn out to be some homewrecker to me. When he's the one wrecking it. Like this man legit wants to play house to a girl that legit got her emotions all over. I like Francis to its you now. She. Yeah want him back but this chapter hope Mike burn it off with Lucy and legit means it! I hope he tell her sorry for it. He making this girl toss and turn with her growth and nothing rile me up more but to see someone character development be Tarnish from someone else lack of acknowledgment. Mike here lack her feelings over hers. Now he's paying for it.

2021-08-20 09:25:22 +0000 UTCI actually have faith that Mike really knows that he fucked up and needs to leave Lucy the hell alone. In page 10 of this chapter he straight up says that he knows he won’t be able to comfort, apologize, or even talk to her anymore. That is him verbally acknowledging a boundary. “I’m a piece of garbage, is that what you wanted to hear?”, it’s been shown multiple times in this comic that Mike assumes others think lowly of him and want to watch him suffer. Thankfully he’s wrong from what we know, but it doesn’t take away the fact of how he projects onto others. I don’t think Mike lied a single time since this interaction started, and I am not going to get stuck on the “Is that what you wanted to hear” line. I feel like it was wrapped up nicely. To me Mike isn’t saying all of this just to assuage Augustus’s well earned contempt for him, or to make himself look good by admitting his flaws, or even to ‘play the victim’. He is telling Augustus his side of the story, just as the dude asked. Mike openly admits he has been toxic to the people around him, that Lucy meant more to him than he ever realized, and that he guiltily caved into Sandy wanting to continue the relationship. Augustus doesn’t know the whole conversation between Mike and Sandy but at the end of the day Mike still could have stuck to his guns by telling Sandy that he was still in love with Lucy and officially broke things off. However, with some of the things things that Sandy confessed to him, I can see why the idiot was won over. Despite Mikes protests and wariness she already made big changes in her life to make room for Mike in her life to prove that she wanted to continue things. She confessed that he was a ‘pillar’ in her life and that he was the only person in her life to love her for who she was before she became a famous model. Mike said multiple times that he didn’t want her to revolve her life around him, but I can see why Mike caved in as all the dude ever wanted was to be appreciated. This really sucks though, because Lucy herself bore her own heart like not even an hour before that! She was. Right! There! It’s a shame that he didn’t realize how much Lucy meant to him until things between them had been officially severed for good. Loool boi you fucked UP. But does Mike know just HOW MUCH he fucked up? Maybe, maybe not! But just because Mike might not know the whole gravity of the situation yet doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of knowing he fucked up at all. It’s not mutually exclusive. This boy finally recognized and acknowledged for the first time he is toxic to the people around him like..what? 12 hours ago in the comic? The fact that he is even talking it out with Augustus at any capacity astounds me. By now he would have thrown an inevitable bitch fit at the mere mention of Sandy, but he’s actually pretty leveled so far by his own standards. How long will that last though? I wouldn’t doubt if Mike has a meltdown by the time this chapter wraps up due to his history with interactions, but I would love to be pleasantly surprised that he doesn’t! Emotional maturity can take a while to chew on, especially when you were in the wrong. But admitting you have a problem is the first step, and I would love to see Mike put that into action soon. As for Augustus….He is a god send for this situation. He is absolutely the best character to have this talk with Mike and I am so glad this is happening. I used to dislike Augustus a lot since he was such a dick but I started to appreciate him a little more during “Trapped”, and finally “Love Again” made him grow on me. But this chapter? Is *chef’s kiss*, you know? The cherry on top of this delicious cake of a character. I am so proud of you Auggy. Also, I really do want to see the reactions of the BCB cast when they realize that Mike was the driving force behind Lucys suicide attempt.
