Bros, I mean this respectfully, but does anyone have shit on Douglas????
Marshally trusts him the most, they understand each other the most, he's the one who's protected her the best and in general, they have the most chemistry together. His design, his personality, even his story are the most unique of them all.
The "Older brother" stuff? Even the other characters call it out for what it is, a pretense so they can be close to each other without repercussions. I am 80% convinced they already love each other, but won't get together, because of stupid shit like him having a kid (who already loves Marsha!!!).
I swear this is pissing me off so bad, I never had second-male-lead syndrome before. Is this what you've all been dealing with all this time??????? It's hellish.
Reiner is perfectly average male lead, there is nothing wrong with him, which makes him kind of dull when DOUGLAS IS RIGHT THERE!!!!!
Noah is the same, I dig his vibe, but he's been barely present and he just seems like a cuter Reiner clone.
The boss thief guy? I'll admit he's interesting, but like Marsha, I believe that willingly letting rape happen under your watch is just as bad as commiting it.
Literally no one has anything on him. Even the author seems to be pushing them together. But I know. I recognize the genre conventions. I understand that male leads aren't permitted interesting character designs. They will love each other completely and they'll never get together because of stupid plot bullshit. We're forever doomed to twinks with bangs.
