I can't explain it, but the second I started listening to Timeless I knew it was going on my These Violent Delights playlist.

after getting my heart shredded by chloe gong, here are my reasons why roma and juliette could be alive & why they couldn’t be. hear me out <3 
alive
- the two wanted a world of peace where bloodshed was not tearing apart everything. maybe they left after surviving miraculously and separated themselves from reminders of the white terror, memories being too painful.
- juliette and roma are gangster masterminds. no matter how sudden the explosion was, juliette could have had a plan and could have saved the two or vice versa.
- they survived the explosion. option 1. their ancestors saved them. option 2. a miracle occurred. after, A. stolen transportation and moved to the countryside the two visited or any countryside. B. ran away then bribed people to leave the city/country. C. stolen transportation/bribed people and hide out in shanghai, living with different identities/having different identities as they were too scarred. and, the reasons of the two not reaching out one. they were happy enough in each other’s presence. two. they did not want more painful memories resurfaced. three. one of the two died and the other killed the self or was too heartbroken to care anymore.
- if the two survived yet remained alive, they didn’t want to reveal themselves as alive as it could have their “deaths” be in vain (context. their deaths and star crossed lover story was a reminder of how useless the blood feud was and was a constant reminder of the citizens of shanghai why peace should occur. whenever blood appeared, their story was whispered and helped the slow end of the bloodshed).
dead
- would roma really willingly never see his sister, his cousin, and his best friend ever again? (unless from observations far away but that is highly unlikely seeing as the world is big and information is limited). vice versa to juliette.
- as “evidence” points, they were in the heat of the explosion. it’s impossible they survived without interference or a miracle
conclusion
honestly besides the first point, without imagination and hope, it is easy to believe that the two died. however, as it was supposed to be an open ended ending for our own speculations, i just know in my heart something happened in the midst of the explosion. their story is too full of passion and love and survival and grit to end like that, however heroic and romantical it is.

These Violent Delights Review/Analysis 🥀
Tumblr media
Read my full TVD analysis on WordPress.
“And he mourned for her. … he ached with the knowledge that the softness of their youth was gone forever, that the Juliette he remembered was long dead.” (Roma, 44)
One of my absolute favorite things was the frustration of knowing how Roma blames himself for everything, but reading that Juliette believes that he was some master manipulator who had planned to betray her all along. This boy is drowning in self guilt. He even blames his mother’s death at the hands of the Scarlet Gang on himself (I wonder how he feels after Juliette drops the truth?).
While we get this moment where Roma notices all the ways Juliette has changed, we get another where he recognizes similar changes in himself.
“…Roma had crafted a cold and brutal face that he hated seeing every time he looked into a mirror.” (69)
There’s such a contrast between Roma and Juliette in these moments. Juliette almost seems proud of the reputation she has built, because it means she is feared and respected. She knows she must work harder to prove herself because she is a woman, and she revels in this picture that was painted of herself because it’s a testament to the work she’s put in.
On the other hand, Roma despises that he has had to grow in this way. …
.
Warning: my website is under construction, so some pages outside of posts may be missing 😅 could my web developer husband do this much quicker and nicer? Absolutely. Am I too stubborn to let him? I’ll never admit it.

✩🥀🏹Series Review:
⋆ Historical romantasy ⋆ Shakespeare retellings ⋆ Multiple pov
No other series will make me feel the way I do when I’m reading the Secret Shanghai universe. From the original duology to the novellas to the spin-off series, I feel as though I have grown up with Gong’s characters and watched her flourish as a writer with each book having been better than the last. It’s hard to believe that the end has been reached, but all stories must come to a close and I’m excited to see where Gong’s pen will take us next!
