Curate, connect, and discover
I keep seeing things about how people think the way the core six reacted was ooc, but I honestly think their reactions couldn’t have been more true to the characters.
One of the central theme’s for the core six once they started having kids was that they didn’t want their children to be “damaged like them”. On the logic side of things, from their perspective, the only info they had to go off was that Moffy was clearly seeing someone, he was no longer having one night stands, and the person he was seeing was someone his parents wouldn’t approve of. That honestly leaves so few people it could possibly be, given the fact that the addicted kids literally have no friends other than each other. Now if we toss in the sheer panic clouding their vision, i.e. that their children might be heading down a path of destruction akin to the paths that the core six went down, I think their reactions are spot on. None of the core six are rational when it comes to their children and I feel like Krista and Becca did a really good job of show casing how the core six’s volatile past shapes their perspectives of their children and how to parent, for better (which we saw a ton of in skop) or for worse (which we saw at the end of dlu).
All in all I just really fucking loved this book ya’ll
