Comment by Doe on Wet Sand - Chapter 29

@Doe .....All of those and more than those

@Doe when daddy tj tells us to bark, we bark. no questions asked.

So honestly not even one reason? I atleast excepted few reasons ...I genuinely wanted to know 1 thing different from how I view him..but it's head empty only sm** I see

@Doe oh wow I didn’t realise you were serious about that. Let’s firstly make it clear that he’s only a fictitious figure, and from what we know about him so far, there’s no denying that he is indeed a morally gray character. Secondly, yes, some of us like him bec of his scars/tatts or possibly bec of how intimidating he is, while others bec he is actually so much more than just his looks. He has a peculiar kind of love for Ian and is protective & obsessed about him bec he has separation issues, which actually stemmed from him watching his family die in a horrific accident when he was younger. Bec Ian has been the only one at his side, he became attached to him and acquired these feelings, which later intensified. It’s best to say that his emotions occasionally get the best of him (esp when it’s about Ian), but this is just bec hes afraid of losing him (since he knows Ian wants to disappear and leave him behind). You can’t say that he has "no" personality because he does. The author has done an excellent job of giving each character distinct personalities. He is a notorious gang boss and has an aggressive demeanor from surviving in gang society, dude is also incredibly smart and hardworking (let’s even call him delusional bec my guy was really planning to build a house to live with Ian for the rest of his life). And there are still so many things we don’t know about him bec there have only been 29 chapters & he wasn’t always present in the plot and we didn’t get an intimate glimpse into his private life to judge. So thus far, we like him bec he has some redeeming qualities & ALSO because he is really attractive. Now if he does something questionable in the later chapters, we won’t necessarily like him as much as we do now. So, let’s take it easy. It’s best to stop asking these questions if you still don’t understand why we like him bec you most likely never will.

@shoto what I am understanding is that you guys like him for the redeeming qualities?not how he is now?and most thing you talked about involved his obsession with ian nothing more but I will take his ambitious ganglife as a point.im only asking this because people always say jo to step away when you guys don't provide any info why tj offer as a better choice to ian in your pov.(that is if you are like the majority I see who wants to ian to end up with tj so, tj won't loose his cool)

@Doe His obsession with Ian was merely to show that he is just a caring & lonely dude with some personal issues - proving he has a nice character attribute. And most of us DO NOT want Jo to step away because, to be honest, Jo & Ian are a lot healthier pair than TJ & Ian. I only responded to your question where you specifically asked WHY we like him given the fact that he appears to you to be only looks with no personality. We already know that Jo & Ian will be the endgame here, and we also know that TJ will do something idiotic later in the chapters out of jealousy and separation concerns that will simply render Ian more distant and favour Jo over him. Its just TJs unique and entertaining personality that we like and enjoy. Hope this makes sense.
