You know I’ll let it slide eventually but I’m here to rant just a little more.
I will accept NOTHING but an aroace Tolya and the writers can fight me about it, erasing that is just beyond disrespectful and I will choose to interpret that little odd look as platonic admiration and nothing more, but!
If they wanted an unrequited love triangle for Kanej just to add a little more drama (as if those two needed it tbh) Jesper was right fucking there! Jesper with his gigantic crush on Kaz, with his unwavering loyalty to him even when he’s being treated rather cruelly by Kaz, and his feelings of inadequacy, of not being enough, and his misplaced sporadic jealousy of Inej that he then feels so guilty about because she’s his best friend but still he wishes Kaz would look at him the way he looks at her and treat him the way he treats her, and his little talk with Inej about how they both deserve better than Kaz but they still can’t help their feelings for him. How he slowly gets over his crush on Kaz by falling for Wylan, how Wylan sometimes worries that Jesper will never look at him the way he looks at Kaz, but Jesper feels so much more with him, how he learns what real love and admiration is like when he’s with Wylan until eventually his feelings for Kaz just cease to exist and he just sees him as Kaz always saw him. A brother.
Like we already had the perfect unrequited angsty love triangle in canon, they could’ve worked with that, there is absolutely zero need to force another one!
