i’m sorry, but i still can’t get over the fact that ivy ‘fell in love’ with bear in a matter of.. days? and only because he took interest in her and was kind to her? i didn’t feel the chemistry between them and everything in their relationship felt rushed and forced. and then she actually refused to 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 ardan because, wait for it, she 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫. i get it girl, i really do, but if your main concern is that you don’t know him, maybe just 𝐓𝐑𝐘 to get to know him instead of pushing him away?? and it was so ironic, seeing that she had no problem committing to bear after ‘knowing’ him for a couple of days, and being aware that he was lying to her like 90% of that time.
speaking of bear, he gives me 𝚊𝚍𝚊𝚖 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚜 vibes, and i don’t like it, at all.
also, he didn’t tell ivy that there were other portals they could use.. 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬? she went to save him and then he withheld the information that could save her mother, knowing perfectly well that ivy wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if something happened to her mother because of her!
speaking of shatter me series, ardan reminded me a little of aaron, especially when he called ivy ‘love.’ and we could actually see the change in him, how he grew to love ivy. it’s true that her beauty intrigued him the most at first, but then what he wanted more than just her body was to actually get to 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 her, to protect her and to change himself for her. and i couldn’t help but notice that while bear was always rambling about how ivy is beautiful and how good she smells and how her body makes him feel, ardan actually wanted her on a deeper level.
one more thing,
how did the two evil sisters manage to get through the portal before it was sealed? especially if one of them was frozen??
