People really need to stop hating on the author and on Joe like he’s not literally the main character of the story. Wet Sand isn’t just about romance—it’s about healing, growth, and the weight of your choices. Joe is at the center of all that. He’s the lens we’re seeing the story through. Without him, there is no Wet Sand. Acting like TJ and Ian are the only thing that matters completely ignores the actual themes of the story.
And let’s be real—TJ choosing the gang life is a choice. If he picks that over everything else, especially after everything Ian went through, that’s on him. Wanting Ian while still living in that world is selfish, especially when Joe has been showing up and being consistent.
Also, no one even knows who’s gonna be endgame yet. Acting like the author owes you a specific ship or storyline and attacking them when you don’t get it is entitled as hell. You can root for your fave, but don’t erase other characters’ importance or hate on the story just because it’s not going how you want it to. Joe is a fully realized character, not just a ‘blocker’ for your ship. Respect the story or just don’t read it.
