@historia i get the focus of everyone shifts to Johan basically pining for & loving North from afar for 3 yrs... that is sweet & romantic - but when they actually get together, he is toxic as f*ck & i can't get behind his obsessive, possessive, domineering behavior, any more then i can get behind how fast North capitulated to this forceful, overbearing behavior & his loss of autonomy.
fantasy world aside, this toxic behavior if usually found in abusive partners that want total control over anyone in a relationship with them, they dictate their every move, tell them what to do & don't let them work, so they will become financially dependent on them - the only thing Johan didn't do was manipulate North into cutting all ties with friends & family. so seeing this behavior makes me shudder, not jump with joy cause "love".
