My POV on the Jameson Lyra controversy.
I may be biased bc Jameson is truly one of the characters I conned with the most in the series, but I don’t really see how any of this is truly his fault. The Alice secrete was a BIG one, I get why he kept it and Gray wasn’t even that mad, cause he understood the gravity of the situation. Lyra was just caught in the crossfire, Jameson has been on edge all this time and he is looking for a way to gain any shred of control over a situation he has no grasp on. Lyra as well, she has so many unanswered questions she won’t stop until she finds them, even is it means getting tangled in this whole Alice mess.
Now, Jameson blaming her for Avery being gone, came out of anger and desperation, in someone like Jamie when they are spiraling out of control, they need to somehow regain control and center themselves, pinning the blame on Lyra is his way of doing that . It sounds really bad, but in that type of scenario I get it, cause I’ve done the same 😑. It’s almost like a defense mechanism, placing anger on someone else to divert from the true problem (Avery missing, and Alice out to get them).
His mistrust of Lyra is somewhat understandable, he doesn’t really know anything about her, and her and Gray have gotten really close, which could be dangerous. Plus the whole thing with Eve being her sponsor, I think is what truly led to the mistrust. But we don’t really know, bc we aren’t seeing his perspective of things, we only know the story from Lyra and Grays eyes. However, if he had payed more attention and actually talked to Gray and Lyra at any point, he wouldn’t be so hesitant. But given the fear he is experiencing I get that communication isn’t exactly a priority right now. Tough it should be a priority for all of them, it would solve like 99% of the problems in this whole entire universe 😭
Also, notice how Gray and Lyra didn’t even seem that mad. I think everyone understands that Jameson is hurting and the love of his life just went missing, so his actions and words aren’t exactly sane right now.
In conclusion I don’t think any of them were in the wrong, emotions have a way of making people do reckless things so they are both valid.
I need TGB to come out, so that all of this tension can be resolved and the Fast and Furious family bbq type ending can happen 😭😭.
Idk why this is so long lol
