totally avid reader

One of the more obvious rules of this site that I've tried to follow up to now, is not to overstimulate Private Tim🤣🤣 with too much feedback, especially re the subject of Will and it seems Mac is trying to join that club, ( BTW loved his comment about not being forced into straightness😂🤣), but now that a door has been opened, my nerdish self can't resist adding my 2cents worth to the mix, with an obscure reference which might give some biological context to that whole rich tangled human experience. http://viewzone.com/homosexual.html Still at the end of the day, no matter how or when it ends, both Will & Austin are just being really human by chasing someone to love with Travis seemingly trapped by his good looks ,while lacking the nous of sidestepping people like Kendoll with their obsessing and projecting their own dark stuff on him. Am looking forward to having this darkerside of Kendoll being explored in more detail. Its a tribute to our esteemed author that all of his extensive life experience & field work in putting together this incredible writing along with the Granger series, over the past decade or so has apparently left him unchanged. The list of different characters ( how on earth did he manage to come up with Stef🤣 or Tonto for example)the many plot twists etc. So all those creative writing courses that American colleges are famous for, have really paid forthemselves here. Apparently Stephen King when asked how he could possibly write what he wrote, his reply was something to the effect that he really didn't have a choice in the matter...so whatever your motivation is Mark,

All I am wanting here is for the storyline to stay focused on Travesty, rather than Tragedy ...( unless that focus happens to be on a really deserving object like Wade's mum &/or sister, just as happened with JD's half brother, as most of us here still miss Robbie, or Will's mum & Hank for whom I was getting rather fond of). So hopefully we aren't reading Shakespeare here...in the natural course of things, young love while endearing & totally entrancing at the time, does burn out, however something much better usually does come along... BTW What subjects is Will taking at Harvard? And will Will be able to indulge in the consolations of Philosophy when Travesty hits the fan?

It is all of the above...I never did the obvious translation, so my bad. I was just going with the vibe of sadness and but also of gratitude for all those past memories..... even if here, they are just creations of that talented MrArbour ...& just like a lot of others apparently in similar situations where the loss is actually in the real world https://freemanbrothers.co.uk/2025/08/time-to-say-goodbye-is-uks-most-popular-funeral-song/

Am feeling humbled by the fine precision of yr language usage...it's like you were a graduate of some Latin Academy from teenage years past. Also upto now I had accepted the exit of various characters from Mark Abour's Simulation stage as just part of the natural order of things, a sort of "Con te partirò", so now we apparently have yet another bone to pick with our now admittedly amoral author.

There is the claimed truism that when one writes fiction, one reveals all about one's self ...so cunning is probably a good fit , but amoral ? George is definitely a tomcat [an aristocat?] of the first order, but life was short with no guarantees back then.....George's (& thus Mark's?) only obvious fault here seems that for the very first time in his career, George has put pen to paper in an indiscreet & potentially 'incriminating" fashion even though it was being expressed in other than his native language...thus the lack of his to be expected native English phlegm.

So Travis knows " what is coming"....? Mark Arbour has once again left us dangling waiting for that next 🙏🙏Saturday matinee episode. Am still having trouble mentally visualising this KenDoll chap...does he look like he's just come from having had a little plastic work done or is he straight out from one of the versions of "The Clash of the Titans"......because he is about to go up against Will and presumably that plastic sod has no idea about Will. The smart money will of course be on Will marking out his territory in his normal, blitzkrieg fashion 🥳😂 leaving no ambiguity or room for doubt. (Am hoping Ken has a therapist on speed dial.)

PrivateTim, am loving yr passion and investment in this latest Mark Arbour "Telenovela" installment, where just like on TV, the one of yr favorite but triggering characters, is fluent in Spanish. The jumping hippo 🦛 and elephant 🐘simile is one of your best so far....& now advocating raising the voting age to 30 should win you an even wider, appreciative fan base. (Wonder how Shoots would react?) Incidently you might find the notion of a Saturn return, at least as explained by astrologers (and maybe even Jung, I think), helpful in understanding how young fools,espec when in love/lust, somehow often manage to reset their lives back to a clean zero, sort of consistently when they hit their very late twenties (aka Saturn return). Personally I am all in favour of second chances, no matter what matter how cringeworthy anyone's past has been.

Wow, there are some serious Will haters here who act like he is a whereas try to remember he is only twenty years or so. Will is fairly unusual imo in that he can forgive and move on once a sincere apology is given , I am not sure that many of us here could do that at that age so yeah I would say he does have a reasonably mature mind. Its easy to forget what emotional messes a lot of us were at that age as we lurched from some emotional crisis to the next one intensified by peak hormones and horniness. Just remember how young Romeo & Juliet both approached life. And unlike our favourite RN peer, George Granger, Will doesn't get to get an explosive release by blowing things up

Well, this series is termed "Travesty" for a reason. Travis, like most golden boys, just doesn't have Will's emotional maturity, much less his capacity to see the big picture, so imo, this isn't going to end well for Will. So when the final curtain comes down on this travesty, Will is probably going to end up feeling nostalgically of Zach. 😍😍 I shudder at how far down,Mr Arbour is going to let Travis crash because as we all know, Mr Arbour loves drama 😭😳 & is cynical of young love, whether it's this scenario or its where Carlo ( & Will) walk in on Paolo with , say Stef.😁🤣 🐷🤣🦄

Anticipation, no matter how drawn out the interval between some of installments maybe, is really part of the charm of this series, as you freely give of your time to cordinate your characters in a framework dictated by history, while still somehow living your real life...so sincere thanks

It's probably fortunate for Travis' overall mental health, not only in that moment but also in any following legal proceeding, that he was sexually assaulted by Harry Weinburg rather than by his doppelganner in the industry, with a similar sounding name, as it probably would have ending up being a far more traumatic experience especially when it comes to having an accurate recollection, if Candice Owen is to be relied upon

It's pretty much a given ...bit like the fetal alcohol syndrome along with being bulimic, doing cocaine lines or even worse a severe non fat diet especially during the unborn child's first trimester. These are all acknowledged environmental factors.....which are often related to disernible changes in brain structures that can be read on a MRI. So imo, JJ is doing pretty well all things considered. It just goes to show the density/planning/ depth of the writing of our favourite content creator, aka Lord Arbour. Also, I am cautiously optimistic that our content creator is planning to pull some unexpected fireworks on the 911 anniversary whether if it is in 2004 ( muchless 203 years prior to this date in another saga ) I have been wondering where these (neo)nazi connections of Kris will lead, ( also why is Kris so relatively poor i.e faux Rolex etc , if he has these ties in the first place) else why did Lord Arbour introduce this twist in the first place. Is he creating a new rabbit hole down which to lead the story line. Doesn't Jake have some vague but serious experiences/connections with central & south America? Also we havent heard much from Wade lately Seeing he has all of that money and political connections, is he going going to be pulled into this intriguing growing issue somehow pulling him out of his domestic bliss with Matt & kids somehow? BTW there are still widely acknowledged present day neonazi enclaves both in Chile and Argentina. (strangely enough, every US president from Eisenhower to Obama have paid a quiet visit during their term of office to Bariloche in Argentina of all places. Apparently still to this day, that place still has a nice Bavarian mountainous feel, where one of its principal hotels started out back in the 1940's as a hospital specialising in plastic surgery...also that financial wunderkid Martin Bormann, despite dying at least 5 or 6 different ways in Berlin back in May 1945, was still signing his name to cheques drawn on the local Buenos Aires branch of the Chase Manhattan bank, as late as 1967) these are just some humble possible background graffiti offerings going thru my imagination as it doesnt look like our content creator is planning on stopping any time soon So we may really need to buckle up hopefully

"It was incredibly annoying that after a long, arduous trip across the entire country I’d end up like some taxi service..." Classic line ..... true to life This drawing of JJ is just so true to life. I am thinking of two public figures of our present day who both exhibit similar entitled public behoviour with no apparent boundaries, where the man' s mother was severely bulimic, while he was just in his first trimester in utero, and his wife's mother was reportedly doing white powder lines on the kitchen table,while his wife at that very same stage in utero.

So Daddydavek & DrPaladin are expecting yet another explosive Mark Arbour twist in the very near future Just as those of the Illuminarti mindset often feel compelled to warn of planned oncoming events, ( i.e its not our fault if you couldn't see the oncoming whateveritis , we did try to warn you, so its on you..etc.) , imo Mark has left a clue or a hidden easter egg, in plain sight, that this proposed royal maritime excursion will create quite a significant splash. Obviously it's still far too early for Princess Amelia to be pregnant so .... Can't wait

Once again Mark Arbour has given us another twist. The prolific writer, Edgar Wallace had the habit of spinning a wheel with all sorts of random plot twists/outcomes when he wanted to spice up his writing. So Kudos I was starting to wonder if maybe because of his connections, JJ was being targetted and lovebombed by Kris, but then it was Kris, ( you know, the blue-eyed, tall blond aryan type), who was the one who actually triggered this whole issue with JJ's family So does Kris' family have some connection extending upto present day, with Operation Paperclip where Nazis were imported & infiltrated ALL of the power centres of the USA post WW11, seeing that Kris appears to have little or no fluency in German as a language or atleast with legal german, making it look like he is maybe a victim of the US educational system rather than being educated in Europe. Just spectulating where the author is about to take us . (We had the menace of the Guild, a sort of dark amoral deep state of its time, with its implied connection with the baltic hanseatic league /Prussia in Grainger's saga, and now we have the issue of Nazis and their connection with the WEF, big banking & industry etc...so there are a lot of potential rabbits holes just waiting to be explored & most importantly, possible villians to meet.
