Oh, worm

it’s so funny to me that it’s called ‘beta reader’ because by definition that makes us fic authors alphas 

i love love loooooooove so so so much that one of luke's biggest character traits is that he's a liar. sure, he gets better as his romance route progresses, but every time he says "when have i ever lied to you!" to rosa i MUST laugh. sir you spent your entire reunion lying to her about where you've been. you spent 85% of your pre-anniv personal story lying about your illness. even in his cards, he lies about his true feelings so so so often. he lied about when he returned to stellis, having been back for a month or so and avoiding rosa the entire time. in main story he lies so much about the things he does. he lies to protect the people he loves but that doesnt change the fact that he's a liar. sometimes he's really bad at it, but when it came down to the big stuff he was very good at it. lying comes easily too him. even now that he's gone through character development for the better in his romance arc, i bet that he still needs to bite back the instinct to say the more palatable lie instead of the more painful truth. lying comes easily to him. it makes me want to grab him by the shoulders and shake him vigorously but man is it such a juicy character trait. hes the character portrayed with symbols of loyalty and devotion but he lies through his fucking teeth. and he definitely lies to himself too, and he lies so well that sometimes he tricks himself into believe it's the truth
