hiiii - here for my last review! i think i forget to say for galazy reviewing event in like all of other reviews here, oops. take it as a good thing that your writing is so good that i forget about the greetings.

 

i love how healthy your characters are like they do have ability to grow and heal which isn't something you see a lot of tbh. i think a lot of people write characters as having only one romantic love of their life partner so seeing some different development is cool for them. even if v/g are totally like the love of each others lives and i was trying to think of an epic happy couple to compare them too but no-one is coming to mind, all the other great loves are angsty as hell. maybe vic and g are the couple that people should be comparing themselves to in that case

 

i'm super happy that g and david had a bit more dialogue with each other and everything. it seems to be good between them. i love overprotective jill and all. they also have good sibling vibes. i cant remember if you have siblings but seems like you know a good silbing friendship knowledge. so happy to see they're happy to argue about marvel and stuff. which i have no personal opinion on but kinda wished I did for the purpose of this review lmao.

heyy! - here for galazy reviewing event :)

 

I love so much that the chain of events that this comes out in, how many siblings does g have? pop up all over the place it seems like. the first conversation between van and viv just proving the van is the most amazing brother (erm, to g anyway! haha). vivi seems happy though so it's all good. I love how stuff is going on without v/g even knowing about it. also is van short for anything? always wanted to know?

 

then hes' like 'omg, how do people know??' bc people have been waiting for this moment for like ever and people also gossipy/nosey too. just lmao to the whole situation at this point. I like that vic/teddy seem on good terms, jo is right though it's a bit weird :P talking of jo, i love her and her taylor swift gifts. always needed! she's a fave. 

 

kinda unsure on my feelings about david, i guess it does suck when your ex moves on and think there is some unresolved feelings but what is g meant to do here? he wasn't in the group chat anyway. i think teddy put it well when he said 'he's a grown ass person' so he needs to deal with it. maybe he'll reflect on the situation a bit more and get over it. i honestly don't know the time time span on this situation though so maybe that makes a difference to how he feels.

 

kinda want someone good for teddy now. he deserves it.

hey branwen :) - here for the galazy reviewing event!

 

man, I love your writing so much, coming back to the gang is so special for me. I miss vic and g soo much. You know that I love the style that you've used here too. the twisted lives of the gang are amazing. I'm so here for it all. the drama! vic being a bit an dick to teddy because you know she's a little confused about obvious chemistry with g (and having a better time with him than teddy, erm, wtf. bin him girl), that was a bit meaner than i meant but i think the universe is talking to you ever vic. listen listen listen.

 

g and van are one of my most probably siblings pairings. They have such good vibes between them. g can basically tell him anything but van is g's life coach basically. love the brother bonds there. just love van coaching g on how to ask vic out is hilarious. 

 

sadly, this situation kinda seems like something that just happens sometimes?? people like don't fit anymore. I like the david/teddy friendship here too. idk if they were friends before because g use to date david. it's a bit tangled up there. i LOVE johanna's reaction like 'fuck her', i need to see more of her certainly! I love the messy webs you create <3

Heyyyyy!

 

I'm here for our review, yay.

 

it's really cool getting to see more of g's life before he was dating vic, like david is referenced in another fic but getting a bit more fleshed out about them and what happened is really great even though in the final product is g+vic. g is such like so adorable?? i totally love this, like he's so hurt by what david said and being loyal is so important to him is so sweet. I think the more I find out about g just the more i love him. he's so pure but can't goes about things kinda wrong.I feel bad that david said it obvz butttttttt I also get david like I kinda see why he's mad (probably more insecure than mad). I can see his POV quite clearly. that's the good part of story telling though isn't it??

 

i love how you weave these dramas and relationships between your characters like they're all so believable people, generally their voices are so clear which i just love. there is something about your characters which just rings so true and makes them so likeable. in the past, I'm so super unsure about teddy/vic as a pairing like my brain just doesn't compute but i feel like this fic (obviously i've read it all already haha) helps me understand a bit more considering i've thrown teddy under the bed for vic/g in basically like my reviews. I feel like you're quite nice to him really haha. he's kinda cool anyway.

 

g/vic are just like the pairing that everyone needs in their life. they just kinda have a rough start with teddy/david issue but like watching their interactions is just like pure joyyy. that's just so like cute together. like their souls are just the same or something. they make sense as friends and as wayyyy more. it's so obvious in the way that you write them. i love them.

Hi Branwen, here for our swap! So I read this on the train yesterday and I couldn't help this conflicted feeling, since you're now using this actual visual style that looks like actual texts :D I couldn't help the feeling that I'm literally snooping through someone's private messages and felt really weird about it, lol, but like that's a good thing, because it just felt very immersive, yk, and that's cool! also I'm also nosy, so it didn't stop me

 

Oh wow, the drama here is so thick, I read it all in one breath :D and it's funny because I'm actually quite...confused as to who to side with? Well, obviously, I think it's shitty to accuse or imply or whatever someone you supposedly love of cheating. I've been accused of cheating where something like that hadn't even crossed my mind, and it was very hurtful and almost traumatic to be treated with distrust and a sort of lack of respect as well. So I am totally with Gallagher on this one, that it hurts and isn't fair, and that if David were feeling insecure, which, tbh, can be valid, he should've communicated that differently. 

 

I also feel on G's side about the whole 'I don't have to spend my entire time with you now, I still want my time with my friends'. I know it can be difficult for some people to understand when they do things differently, but again it's about communication and tolerance and understanding. Would I be insecure about Gallagher and Vic's friendship? I mean, I think so :D but maybe that's because I've read so much shenanigans I just know they're endgame :D :D :D Like, there is some merit to David's feelings, but I think Teddy said it ALL so well, I really liked Teddy's take on this, even the way he nicely and respectfully told Vic he doesn't appreciate her just going on a rant about his friend. 

 

Obviously these are quite complicated ties and relationships and friendships, some of which go very deep, and so tension and drama is just bound to happen. I wonder where this goes, especially in regards to Vic and Teddy who seem to be quite solid atm, and yeah, lol, breakups are so horrible :D :D but at least you do them entertaining i guess?? 

 

Excited to see what happens next! I mean, I live for the drama :D
