#Kate Anderson
With Kate's adult/post Cy relationships, we know she's not great at being a committed partner, and has cheated on people before. But does she still get jealous/mind if people cheat on her? π€
I don't think she'd be outraged like Cy is, but she'd definitely feel at least a bit disrespected.
Does this mean Kate is Clarice on the Hannibal AU?
This is an AU of the TV version where there is no Clarice! So she would either be Alana Bloom or Miriam Lass.
In an alternate universe, if Kate ever came out as trans to Cy when they were seeing each other would he be transphobic to her (or behind her back) or would he make an effort to understand her considering how much he likes her?
You know how some pretty transphobic people suddenly change their tune when someone they care about comes out, and they become clumsily supportive? I feel like that's closer to how Cy would be. I don't think he'd necessarily "believe" Kate in terms of being a man/woman, but he's not the kind to go out of his way to misgender people. He'd probably say some bigoted/uneducated shit without really meaning to but overall be willing to learn. Trans jokes are still not off limits, though. Also, fun fact, I drew a few yaoi AU comics where Kate comes out as a trans guy and Cy's main complaint is "I don't like the pattern this is setting in regards to the two people I've ever had true feelings for" π
Iβm loving the talk of grown up Kate not being that cut out for romantic relationships! Does she often deal with guilt from her past relationships? Or does she just leave the past in the past?
She becomes more and more guiltless as time goes on. She's aware she's not the best girlfriend/fiancΓ©e but doesn't feel that bad about it, just slightly annoyed at herself.
In an au where if Kate were to come back years down the road, would Cy take her back?
Even if Kate still wanted to see Cy again after everything, I don't think she'd want to sleep with him. The idea that Cy would have to "take her back" is kind of insane to me. Kate ended things, irrevocably. They can never be together again.
Tbh i don't know how i feel about people being sad for Kate for not being able to stick with someone. It happens, but also one's greatest love story doesn't have to be the last relationship you get in (from staying with them until death). Sure it's sad she doesn't marry someone she loves very much that loves her back as much, but why does she deserves to be rewarded with it and not a better mental health and control over her life? I don't know if it makes sense. Maybe it's amatonormativity that i'm bothered about. I don't think her character would be happy from ending with a great love story besides Cy.
Honestly, she's just not wired for romantic love the way most people are. Too much time spent being a cynic, too many reasons not to take it fully seriously. And, like you said, Cy was her one great love story, because he's similarly weird about romantic love. She can't really find anyone that matches this kind of connection. So, while on occasions she feels inadequate for the way she is, she doesn't actually yearn for a married life, she just goes along with proposals because she likes the partners that propose to her, and then inevitably she either fucks up the relationship or they realize on their own that the relationship is completely unbalanced because she doesn't really love them back the way they'd like her to.
It makes me a lil sad Kate never finds someone. I understand romance and commitment isnβt for everyone, but she at least deserves someone who loves her ): especially all sheβs been through.
Oh, she definitely dates people who love her, she just can't bring herself to fully love them back.
reading your story about kate, a specific part always stuck with me, how she was mad at herself for thinking she was mature enough for it, i donβt usually feel emotions from fiction but that definitely resonated with me, i think it was well written, from what i read of it.
I'm really happy you're enjoying KAMGO! I really wanted to get into her honest feelings and shades of gray, and not go for a moralizing story. Nuance!
will we ever get an answer to how Cy would feel if Kate cheated on him π
Depends entirely on the context and at what age she does it, but I'm inclined to say he wouldn't feel too bad about it.
Did Cy go under 300 after Kate left?
Yup, he lost over 30 pounds in less than a year.
Is there a limit to what age cy will fuck? Like I saw that Kate was 14 I think? Does he go below that?
No, he's never gone below 14. And she was actually 15 during their first time!
How is it that Kate can make Cy not cheat on her but Lynn can't? Like, not even in the divorce AU Lynn legit threating to leave is enough for Cy to stop cheating, so what'd you say is the difference there? I'm curious!
The difference is history and circumstances. For the Kate AU, you have to keep in mind Cy never met Lynn in college, didn't become as socially developed, and key point here, never was introduced to kink. Even if Cy has a pretty strong libido across most universes, the reason he starts cheating on Lynn is because they were doing chastity kink play and he got frustrated at the fact denying her meant denying himself too, in a way. This version of Cy isn't kinky, doesn't see cheating as a "game" between Kate and him, so when she asks him to quit sleeping around if he wants to go steady with her, it's not a very big demandβ they're not in a D/s relationship! As for the Divorce AU, it's less that Lynn threatened to leave, and more that she just up and decided to leave one day because Cy wasn't taking her emotional needs seriously, the cheating was just one part of it.
how would Kate AU!Cy feel if he ever met canon Cy and Lynn? would he feel like he missed out on something or?
He'd probably be weirded out by how joyful and expressive canon Cy is, and he'd probably be a little envious, but also very glad he ended up with his Kate.
Would Cy want to see Lynn and Kate fuck? I feel Kate would obviously be against it (and Lynn probably would to some degree) but idk if them both being against it would turn him off of it if he was ever even interested in the first place tbh
I think it's the kind of thing he'd have a weird horny dream about once and then dismiss.
(Itβs pest Iβm just not logged in) but I forgot if you ever mentioned this, would cy still cheat w other teens and adults if he was with Kate instead of Lynn or would Kate slap him into position if she found out. I have a feeling kate would be a lot less tolerant than lynn
Oh yeah, one of her conditions for going steady in that AU is them being exclusive. Cy relents.
In the AU where Cy marries Kate, did the Gloria Patton incident happen to? Would Kate ever find out? What would her reaction be if she did?
It could happen too, and if Kate ever found out she'd find some way to justify it ("it was a long time ago, he's changed since then").
