Anyone Else Surprised or Disappointed That Harry

--- Quote from: Dina on October 15, 2020, 06:35:55 AM ---Still, I said before that Harry is a lousy friend, specially with Ivy. He only needed to write her a not every month or so and things would have been completely different.

On this point I whole heartedly agree!!! The list of examples is very long.

Yes, but he was in a coma for six months, then dealing with Maeve, then confined to Demonreach for the next year where Mab practically kept him incommunicado, I think he only got a couple of visits from Thomas and Murphy and those stopped because of the vibes the island was putting off.. Then the events from Skin Game, Maggie coming to live with him, his romance with Murphy, and still trying to manage the mantle. So not saying you are wrong, but at the same time it is understandable as to why he wasn't jotting a note off to Ivy.
--- Quote ---He could guess but he was too busy with himself. It is one of his problems.

So for a year and a half, he couldn't communicate even if he wanted to. Then there was that little crisis with Maeve, the one that could have blown up Chicago and beyond, and the events of Skin Game and learning to live with a ten year old child you really don't know. I guess you could say he was too busy with himself..

He could have written sorry in the sand for Ivy.

A couple of counter points:
Thomas puts this into prospective on the Blue Beetle, Harry could have found a way even from the NeverNever.
People dedicate time to things they want or the reverse, people can find any excuse to avoid things they don't want to do.
All of those things you listed are only excuses and we all know about excuses.
Arjan:
Some are and some are not. Mab really isolated him on that island and he was dead for a while. He was outsmarted by Mab.
But he could have send a message to Ivy and he had some time after cold days to contact people. His emotional state was not helping him though.
But now as a knight in a castle he has to try salvaging what is left of his contacts.
