I totally headcanon fit not having hug bound to his emote wheel as him not being used to physical contact, and that it would always take a couple of seconds at least for him to adjust to and reciprocate a hug, but him now having it on his wheel means he's got more used to it and is actually ready to initiate physical contact with particular individuals

Wren Martin Ruins It All
YA contemporary romcom
student council president proposes to cut the school valentine’s dance because it's expensive and alienating for queer/single people, but instead the vice president (who he adamantly hates for being perfect) suggests they get sponsored by a popular friendship app
he decides to secretly give the app a go to “know his enemy” but ends up making a friend, and starts to catch feelings for him...and maybe realises the guy he hates isn't actually so bad either...
ace mlm MC, aro-questioning side character
I loved this so much! great MC with a funny internal monologue
despite the title most issues or misunderstanding are sorted out pretty quickly rather than drawn out for the drama and plot. which is refreshing
I was a little nervous about the concept of ‘ace hates the school dance and wants it shut down’ - there's a bit of a stereotype of aspecs being boring Fun Haters - but I think it did a really good job of showing the specifics of why, not dragging it out, and also that he’s just a snarky fun hater in general with not much weight behind it.
There’s also no discovering of sexuality or big coming out (just one-on-one) - he already knows he’s ace, and it comes up naturally a bunch, talking about how dances etc can feel isolating, the way the friendship app called buddy being called ace-friendly can feel infantilizing, avoiding dating because of the stress of having to check upfront if people about it, etc.
I would have liked to know more about his relationship with his mum? Though I understand that it’s clearly something he avoids thinking about - going too deep into his relationship with his parents might have changed the tone a lot. but still.

#wren martin ruins it all#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#asexual books#ngl as soon as i was like oh this boy is elliot schafer coded i was a lost cause#(re aro character - I have noticed a bit of a trend of “maybe aromantic but I don’t like labels” in YA#contemporary recently that I don’t love - but it’s not an inherent issue with this book)#I’ve read a lot of YA contemporary books where the portrayal of social media and made up apps doesn’t feel right; but this one did to me!#maybe it’s because it’s from the POV of someone’s who’s cynical about it.#(and types no punctuation no capitalisation…I could see my online-communication style reflected back at me…)#Even the confrontation at the end where feelings are confessed isn’t made into some big dramatic thing in front of everyone with no#communication. But it also doesn’t feel emotionally anticlimactic.#(maybe a couple of the reveals in the confession felt unnecessarily dramatic to me? like the story would have functioned without them. )#but it's common for comtemporary ya to overdramatise silly things for the plot and im glad this didn't#possibly this is just my adult opinion about teen narratives.#The adult characters (even though they’re mostly background) feel like real people.#and it has some good friendships. also he has chickens and they are very good#it did become increasingly obvious that it was the same ppl but also they’re emotionally stupid. and like….it's part of the genre.#we all know this going in.

I think the boy called Felix is really significant in Ed's manifestation-of-self-hate Hornigold process. Unlike in real life, Blackbeard is meant to have gone on as a business for decades, and so anything Hornigold did would be a distant memory. That he remembers him threatening to flay HIS skin "and feed it back to him" is one thing, but he remembers the boy Felix, he remembers his name, and what happened to him recounted with righteous disapproval.
Hornigold isn't the vessel of his hated persona by chance, he's the worst he could imagine, and seemingly the one he tried to emulate in his Kraken era as the worst behaviour he could imagine, including a drug abuse to make him not think about his behaviour.
As a captain himself, Ed has clearly stayed away from becoming that before. Yes, he was still revered, but it was inclining towards admiration, most of all for his brains, even while implementing certain stern rules like the pets one, or ordering a British soldier's skin flayed when openly disrespected before his crew, because he will not be seen as taking such audacity lightly.
People act like Izzy was actually doing all the work, but it is Ed he turns to for a "plan" the second time we see them while in peril. If Izzy was there to expedite things as a follower - what a first mate should do - Ed was always the one they turned to to follow, with clearly there being trust there was a reason to.
It's very significant and in line with "I've never seen Blackbeard like this" that Ed trying to personify the Kraken (again, clearly actually inspired by his memories of Hornigold) as "the worst him" was never even him. The real Ed/Blackbeard remembers Felix, some random boy in the crew treated unfairly in a most aghast, judgemental way once he's looking at this "dark persona" from the outside.

knowing Eunyung's home situation and how his dad treated him (and also how, as a homeless teen hopping in and out of shelters, living in a tent, never having a safe place to rest, always having to sleep with one eye open), this scene probably gave him flashbacks

context: Haejoon thought Eunyung was trying to scare him by making noises in their horror house dorms at night, so he burst into his room to confront him. meanwhile Eunyung was chilling with headphones in, completely unaware and not hearing anything.

there was an article about aragon 2013 where marc acidentally bumped into dani’s bike and broke dani’s sensor (or something i don’t remember) and caused dani to crash and the writer was like “how the fuck did marquez do that and still got cheered on the podium after the race? scratch that how did he get cheered for every single on track crimes he committed so far on his rookie season??? he has done stuff that would make THE sebastian vettel BLUSH and yet received none of the backlash that vettel suffered!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MOTOGP FANS why are you cheering this!!!!”
