Remember How In S2 Lucas Talks About How Moissanite Is Better?

Remember how in S2 Lucas talks about how moissanite is better?

If Lucas and Hope were getting married she would totally insist on a real diamond. Do you think he would try and argue with her on it or just take her to Tiffany's?

Hmm, you know I sat on this for a bit, thinking about it and I guess... I don't think she'd insist on a real diamond. Hope isn't actually super into that kind of status in the text of the game, IMHO. She's a businesswoman by day and party-girl by night, who is proud of making her own money. The status she wants is to be seen as successful. Her most enduring trait is self-sufficiency and control is way more important to her than social status. Matter of fact, in the scene where Noah had a little tantrum about the Ministry party, he makes a comment about his clothe and Hope is the one who frustratedly says, "Hon, you have nice clothes!" He doesn't have a ton of money and she never once had an issue with that or seemed concerned about his financial status. One of the biggest issues between them always came down to Noah treating her paternally, attempting to "take care of her," which is something she fundamentally rejects. Which is all to say that I think she's a practical person at heart and being spoiled isn't really her thing. So, I don't think she'd be fussed too much over moissanite versus diamond. Since Lucas is a helper type who wanted to join Doctors Without Borders, I always assumed the moissanite thing was an ethical choice because of the moral quandaries of diamond mining. I think Hope would hear him out on that and be like, "Babe, that's fine. Not even jewelers can tell the difference anyhow!" So yeah. I think it comes down to how you interpret Hope more than Lucas, and I just don't believe she'd care. If she wanted a "real" diamond, she'd go buy herself one. But to play into the hypothetical, if for some reason she did insist on a real one, I think he'd cave, but he wouldn't be happy about it. And they'd have to compromise because he'd want an ethically sourced diamond if he's gonna spend money on it.

Thanks for the ask! This made me reminisce on how much I miss S2's strong characterizations and the LI's unique personalities. God, I loved Lucas.

I could stare at this all day. God I love that shade of purple.

which 3 litg islanders are the most your type on paper?

Seb x 3. The end.

So here's my thing. I love Bobby but he's absolutely not my type because he's actually happy 🤣 I'm a sucker for funny guys but only if they're also sadbois (you sure can't tell that by how I write, can you 😆). My type is literally a tattooed, snarky music lover who fluctuates between making me laugh till I pee and stressing me out with their anxiety and depression. I literally married that guy. Honestly though, there's no one else in the game that I can see myself being emotionally intrigued by in real life.

Too real 😆

nothing in the world makes me more evil than just being kind of annoyed

NEW FAVORITE COMMENTS

So these days, TSIME is collecting dust and it's fair that most readers have bailed. I have dragged my ass on the ending for literal years, not to mention the fuckery I pulled in the middle of the story 😂 But every now and again, a new reader comes along and I get to watch them have an emotional breakdown in real time through the comments, while I cackle like a swamp witch. So this is currently happening on Wattpad and I'm having so much fun seeing it.

When I shared my joy at having a new reader, @mrsbsmooth reminded me that our very first interaction was her losing her ever loving mind while reading TSIME: “Literally what the fuck? No. Get them back together I demand it.”

And now, having survived TSIME up to this point, she said this and I HOWLED:
