@candymayvaryâ If you want to watch the episode with jim listed as your ex, watch @itsaeriieâ let's play (it's on her dashboard and I rebloggued it too). When I watched @sakurina-mclâ I was releived and then I watched Aeriie's... He's pissed all right. He says something like "so I don't hear from you in 4 years and you pop up at my concert?" and "You could've call to say you were back in town, my number hasn't changed" and the famous line "What did you expect" comes in

At some point (can't remember when). One thing, though, Aeriie played with Castiel as her ex but she went to the concert with Nathaniel so maybe if she'd gone with Rosa it would have played out differently? I doubt it though. At the end of the convo, he does say "let's wipe the slate clean."

Maybe I'm too sensitive but honestly, given that I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BREAK UP it was painful to watch. Especially because even IF I'd broken up for the reason Candy apparently did, I would've reacted so differently and kept in contact with EVERYONE, including him.
I might do that then. Iâve only seen caps of the conversation with him as the ex.Â
Mmm... see, this is where the issue of who broke up with who (and why) is really starting to show. From ep0, weâre told that the breakup with Castiel was âmutualâ in the sense of he chose his career over Candy, which doesnât fit his character at all considering he has mad abandonment issues. Weâre also told continuously by Candy herself that she hadnât expected Castiel to either have the talent, or the capability, to be as big as he is. Thereâs no suggestions that he also pursued a university career, and I had assumed that was one thing that would remain consistent (but it isnât, of course, judging by his profile). Also, Castielâs fame is questionable, because is it more of a popular local band type thing, or is he famous outside whatever country MCL actually takes place in? Does he just tour the country, or is he just known to do regular bar hopping kind of things? We donât really get told, because Candy has no idea herself - as we are repeatedly told.
Apparently everyone knows about him, and like a lot of people have pointed out, if Castiel is doing that well, Candy surely wouldâve heard of him. Or better yet, picked up a CD every so often even just to like see how heâs going. So what is his actual fame? Heâs also able to apparently walk onto campus and attend classes. Iâm sorry, but a tattooed redheaded singer would likely be pretty obvious as that guy who sang at the local bar last night. So... what?
Castielâs POV of the breakup was that they did try the long distance thing, he missed one call because of a concert, and Candy decided it was over. Which I mean, on the one hand, can lend to story telling where POVâs about something that happened are vastly different. Obviously, theyâre not going to blame themselves but the other person. But... on the other hand, just excuses the terrible writing and phrasing and forced breakup. I mean, it is interesting, but it also ignores how Candy and Castiel had a lot of early issues in their relationship because of miscommunication, but they worked on it to end up where they were at the end of MCL.Â
Weâre also continuously reminded that Candy is the one who stopped contact, but she phrases it like no one else made an effort either (which is fair). I feel like every episode wants to reinforce that Candy was in the wrong, completely, because this is one of the few times she actually brings up that her parents forced her to move, and it just... makes things harder. Not saying that challenge isnât a bad thing, but it just makes everything seem really sour.Â
I figured if Nathaniel was brought along, then something would be said by Castiel. Just because it fits how much drama they want to fit in, even though I wouldâve hoped some amends wouldâve been made... considering thatâs what MCL basically implied, that on some level, they tolerated each other, even if they may never have gotten to being âfriendsâ, like they almost were.Â
Nah, this is just... again, calling in to why the decision to break up with anyone was necessary, why it had to play out like this, and why especially for Armin, Lysander and Kentin players... why they just canât reaffirm that theyâre still interested in them, so no thank you to everyone else. Realistically speaking, if for some reason Castiel and Candy had to break it off, I would see it more as them agreeing to slow it down, but not end it. Castiel really does show heâs dedicated to the relationship, and trying, with how much he gives in to what Candy wants to do (such as keeping the relationship on the down low). So where does this personality come from, where he didnât try anymore? Choosing his career? Thatâs how people he loved left him. And again, always, why couldnât Candy keep up with people, but why couldnât people also just keep up with her? You donât have to text every day to keep a relationship going! Some of my best friends... we only text every so often to be like oh yeah hey did you want to catch up? Itâs just... poor excuses to use this all for drama, which is horribly executed and just makes people feel worse. And... thatâs not what you want for your players.
Also... I donât know why Castiel wouldnât expect her to appear at a concert at some point, if heâs so damn popular? Itâs just... bad. Bad writing.Â
