I don't know why I like this story, because I don't like cheerleaders, but I do. I see cheerleading as a symbol of American decadence. Never understood the point of cheerleading - besides it being good exercise. Where I'm from there are hardly any cheeleaders, if any at all. I noted one or two missing pronouns in this chapter but they aren't worth listing.

Is it because Cassie goes against the cheerleader stereotype ? So its no longer a symbol of American decadence?

Now, this is a switch. Usually, it's the GIRL who wants to be just friends!*


*Otherwise known to men as "the kiss of death."

Oh but we have yet to see Cassie's side of the story yet ; ) 

 

Things could be very different when we cut to her side.

Really liked the chapter! And we even got lots of tidbits about the universe of this story at large, i really enjoy that subtle interjection of world building without having to give me a paragraph of pure world building. I also really liked the detail about romance with Titans that Wendy gave us. The one that Titans chase men, not the other way around...it makes sense since they are the "pants" in the relationship if you know what I mean, it would probably be too intimidating for males to be the initiator.

And it also breaks the mold, too many gts stories here seem to almost ignore size when it comes to romance without thinking about how the size disparity would fundamentally affect how romance, the the power stuggle, and the so called battle of the sexes would work. Basically on earth if you boil things down the female seeks a male for protection and access to resources whereas males seek females for sex to procreate his genes. Yeah love and company play a factor but im talking about BASE instict, primitave monkey brain stuff here. However in THIS world this dynamic is turned on its head since Titan women have both protection and resources locked down, so its interesting to see how you tackle that...

Thanks for liking it! 

I am trying to avoid the paragraph of world building thing as best as I can because it can really distract the reader and bore if done wrongly. So if there is a way to add it into the story I'll go down that path first.

I hadn't realised most stories didn't even consider the size difference thing but since its early in this series I thought I'd go into it a bit. 

Being the biggest of the three groups means they do wear the "pants" in the relationship and over a century of Titans would definitely change dating etiquette and you're right in this case that a Titan now has the resources and strength to keep her partner safe. Dating in this series is a little more complicated since a man is not that far off from a Normal or Amazon but Titans tend to dominate when they date a smaller person due to the size difference. I'll try to explain it well enough when it comes up again. 

So it will probably be referenced again in future stories where applicable. 

 

Thanks for the reviews so far!
