however, there's examples where a character is too traumatized and do not fully "reset" in time- this manifests through them holding onto grudges and attachments, such as Pearl wearing red and asking for Tilly, Martyn wearing the dogwarts sash

does that mean. Scott, giving the poppies to Jimmy in Last Life,,, or saying he loves Jimmy in Limited Life, being willing to sacrifice time for Jimmy despite him not saying ily back.....

Let's call Martyn just 'Some Guy', it would be funny y'know?

Ah yes

I don’t think They can get away with this

The Bad Boys already are so stupidly silly. Lone-Wolf-Murder-Hobo, Can't-Stay-Alive-Cringefail-Canary, and #God decided they wanted to be the very specific brand of Bad Boys that is "We're not actually bad we just call ourselves that to sound cool we're actually a bunch of mostly well-meaning idiots who come up with pranks" and By Grian are they living up to that.

Joel comes up with the silliest ideas, Grian enables the hell out of him and contributes like no tomorrow while quietly scheming himself, and poor Jimmy is just being dragged along for the ride as the resident mom friend with no spine that's trying to keep them out of TOO much trouble while still being a #BadBoy.

Jimmy is like the well-behaved and super caring little brother and his annoying older brothers who torment him (lovingly) have dragged him into their silliness ans he can't say no because it's honestly fun but he's eternally worried about the consequences of his actions.

And then you have their biggest prank, The Bread Bridge. It does nothing. It serves no real purpose other than to be completely utterly absurd and connect everything up. They talk about it like having it built towards your base is a malicious act but they're literally just building a giant wheat farm in your general direction. It's free food. It's like them threatening to draw on your car but all they do is use those window paint markers designed for cars to write dumb jokes on your windows.

And how about "only use their deadname and incorrect pronouns if they ask you to" many trans/LGBTQ+ people are stuck in homes where they can't use their correct name and pronouns.

It's a general rule not to use deadnames and incorrect pronouns, but if a person asks you to if they're in front of people who will kick them out or hurt them (maybe even just be horrible and rude and unaccepting), DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU. That is allyship.
