So for those who thought M isn’t able to love the MC until they get their memories back (or that they lost the ability for romantic love along with all their memories when Chana wiped them), Sera posted this today on her tumblr:
So yeah, M is just stupid. Though, apparently, M may show a few signs of starting to fall for the MC in b3. Just a couple more books to go before M pulls their head out of their ass, I guess!
Has anyone asked Sera how the soulmate thing is compatible with the triangle route? Maybe there’s a different definition of “soulmate” at play here than the one I think of?
The definition of “soulmate” I’m working from is one-on-one - you’re someone else’s soulmate, they’re your soulmate, you are meant/destined/etc. for each other, true love, yadda yadda. Two people having the same soulmate, or one person with two soulmates, doesn’t work under that definition. But Sera apparently has said these romances are soulmate situations.
Ok, but that doesn’t clash with the Love Triangle: it is specifically a love triangle, not a poly relationship. The MC doesn’t end up with N and A, it’s either/or.
Sera has said the Wayhaven romances are a soulmate situation.
So then it’s not a soulmate situation in the love triangle case, despite Sera saying these are soulmate romances. It’s one pair of soulmates and a pseudo-soulmate spare tire.
I mean, no, it’s still a soulmate situation, between the Detective and whomever they end up staying with at the end. Unless you’re counting every relationship that has ever not panned out a pseudo-soulmate situation.
I think I remember an ask from way back specifically about the LT where she said they are both the MC’s soulmate, but I can’t remember for certain and I only have things catalogued that pertain to M or the group as a whole, lol. I may search later!
