This has me yelling because I’m demisexual. 
And then there is me 
On point 
I’m Demisexual so, you right 
thick as thieves: [almost at chapter 23 and the two mains haven’t kissed for real, none of the other thieves have love interests or are interested in vera romantically, not one implied sex scene]
us: so interesting that most active fans in the tat thread seem to fall somewhere on the asexual spectrum lol, guess we’ll never know why
Spiegel cracked the code lol
Edit: pretty wholesome realization tho.
Well, there’s Archer, but he is like that little annoying cousin that no one take seriously 
Well, he’s less interested in Vera specifically and more interested in “girl in my vicinity.” But uh, pretty sure he’s overcompensating there anyway
He’ll figure himself out
Yes, he’ll get there

This was very clear, thank you! ![]()
I might take you up on that and I really appreciate it! ![]()
Mostly the cat one
But I love it! I am a Pisces rising, so ![]()
Good. Keep it up ![]()
So the club definition is set in stone ![]()
One of the mysteries of modern science ![]()
To be honest, I’m quite sure I’m not aro, so the romanticism is there somewhere ![]()
One overlay left and it’s killing me. Unfortunately, it’s the most important one ![]()
Spirit called it ^^^^^^ I’ll be feeling like this even when it’s out.
I feel like 23 is too short but there’s really no better place to end it.
I’m not aro either; very much the opposite actually. I definitely think there’s quite a bit of romantic subtext throughout TaT (subtext that will probably be in CotC too if I had to guess), though it’s more subtle than what some episode readers are used to.
Foiled again! ![]()
Haha I’m like trying to check a student’s final exam while also compulsively checking IG for the chapter 23 announcement because I don’t want to miss it and be hours behind everyone else reading it ![]()
I agree with Spirit. Ace and aro are definitely two different things and while I would say in my personal life I have very low romantic attachments, I have a very Soft™ heart. And the romantic undertones of TaT are definitely noticeable. But it ties into that conversation about how some readers are like jAsPEr iSN’t a LoVe iNteREsT and in this thread we’re like wwooooowww that is fake news!!! Look at our collective meltdown over how sweet Jasper’s dream was ![]()
But the romanticism plays out pretty naturally in how the characters develop and how their relationships develop, while the story itself is still about what it actually says it’s about.
My priorities are sorted I never felt like that for an exam result but I am checking the app regularly ![]()
This is the most terrifying fear I have since this thread was opened ![]()
I have the feeling it will be me… I am back to work 
Let’s open a group chat for updates? Whoever sees it first informs the others? 

Now I will have to wait an hour to read it 
Omg I’m screaming!!! It’s funny that we figured that part out (more or less) but I (at least) didn’t see the heart Ross debt thing coming. But obviously that makes perfect sense, especially since the important part all along has been finding metaphorical (and literal) heart.
So Jasper (who has the box) literally has Vera’s heart yep yeah. Omg but also I have so many Vera feelings. So. Many.
Me too! In my other play through, I had to replay chapter 22 and I was amazed how Nylora pulled off such an acting while she was promising all those in her heart cross. I genuinely believed her. Truly a villain ![]()
