Adam gets a lot of hate for what he did but tbh he’s just trying to protect James. I kind of don’t like that he even has to think if he should pick between Juliette and James bc he should obviously focus on protecting James, but he’s going through a tough time. We got to remember how dedicated he is

Fuck Adam like fr. "She needs me" Fuck off and die. Lord I can't fathom why Juliette even acknowledges his presence.

adam’s kinda overhated imo

i love his love for james, sibling love is so important to me and even though i think he *is* awfully clingy to juliette, i can’t blame him.

as usual, i devoured this and i need to buy ignite me really soon.
