See the issue is how you percieve other people's motivations. If your twin called you and told you she needed you because your foster mother who raised you from age 3 had an accident, and you didn't have any work contract, just royalties as an income - why the hell wouldn't you go?I am sorry Bob but I am unsure as where we disagree. I am not saying that they have to be blood related to the story make sense, but they need to be related. Maybe I am the odd one here but you don't leave your whole life behind because your childhood friend asked you. As I said, it does not need to be blood, can be whatever but they need to see each other as family. Helen as a mother figure, Dylan as a father figure and Katie as a sister. I am not denying the kinky part of it but if William has no relation to them beyond, "they are good people", is strange.
As Nojiko, that is not the best example. That does not make sense. We let it pass but your landlady does not pays for your medical bills. Do you understand my problem ? Nojiko is easy to ignore, mostly, but you can't write a family drama with out a family. Say that William does not calls Helen mom, there is not need she is his guardian, but she needs to act like a mom. The awkwardness of wanting to fuck her still will existi but a giant taboo is no longer there, and I am fine with that. But it will matter to TOS ? If it walks like duck ? talks like a duck ? fucks like a duck ? I don't know.
Again I am not complaining because a kinky is not in the game. I am unsure as how a change will affect the story as there is no almost family, you are family or not. Again not talking about blood here.
I mean, IF the redacted (we're not even certain of this) post is true - Leia and William have the sam relationship they always had, and Ocean changed the others for the sake of the story he wants to tell, because obviously William and Leia are still taboo. So this whole thing of ToS is not relevant. It's because Ocean wrote himself into a corner, and decided differently.
I mentioned this elsewhere, bet a couple of day ago someone I met once posted on social media they they were going to kill themselves. I found out too late, they were 5 min from my house. I saw the post 7 hours after. Someone who didn't know them dropped everything and drove over, kept them from killing themselves. There is kindness in the world (the person survived okay btw). People are triggered to act by all kinds of things. If a stranger can drop everything to save a life, I would drop my shit and try, I just found out too late to be useful.
I guess what I'm saying is that a story doesn't have to follow our expectations - none of us have all of what we want in life. William, can be flighty and just get in the car because of emotions. Logic is a poor way to understand human relationships.
