It’s hard being a jerome defender. He did all that and he sucks booooooooooo

[jeromeapologist]

And the thing is ive been looking forward to s3!!! idk if this is an unpopular opinion but i think jerome and joy’s characters complement each other so well and they’re both my fave characters that i was so excited to see them together. But i can’t deny this is such a weak ass way to break up jerome and mara esp after they spent the last 2 seasons building up jerome’s care for her

On the one hand. Jerome’s a cheater. On the other? Figuring out his polyamorous side

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but I’m in the middle of rewatching season 2 and I’m such a Joy supporter like. Last season she was basically kidnapped and was told that she was the chosen one, probably was told by her parents that she was the one that could save them (re: Jason had a degenerative disease, who’s to say what the others had?) and was basically isolated from everything and everyone

Only to then find out she wasn’t the chosen one. Which like, yeah, good. Except when youre a teenager surely that’d impact you in some way? To be told you’re not the chosen one, that you’re not special? So she’s not the chosen one and she cant save her parents. So what’s her purpose?

When she goes back to school, suddenly there’s this new American girl who actually is the chosen one. And she’s dating the guy she likes. And everything is so different now and everyone’s pretending that nothing’s changed but it has, so yeah of course she’s gonna double down on the one normal thing from her previous life

Because when her parents took her, she had no say. But she’s done with that, she’s done with just letting things happen to her. She’s going to go for what she wants because it’s either that or face facts about herself that she’s not ready to confront

Theres something so interesting in how Victor often believes Jerome over the other kids. It goes back to the party scene in the earlier episodes of season one. "Jerome. I know I can rely on you. Who was it?" to other episodes like the one where Alfie drinks a sample of the elixir and needs to be taken to hospital. "Come on Jerome. You of all people must want to see these pathetic creatures get their just desserts. What have they done to Alfie?"

And both times Jerome is fucking MISERABLE to be singled out and relied on for information, especially in front of his peers.

RANDOM FAVOURITE MOMENTS 27/?

I know barely anyone is still in the hoa fandom but I needed to make a mini appreciation post about Jerome Clarke.

In season 2 especially (bc I personally ignore season 3) he has such good character growth and the way he is one of the characters that is the first one to look into Trudy going missing?? Like this boy got himself involved immediately knowing she was in danger. It’s so overlooked how he does that. I know he originally gets into it for the gem, so it can be argued it’s a classic Jerome being in it for himself but I really like to think it’s him caring.

In the scene where they rescue Trudy in the barn, Jerome makes lots of jokes about leaving the others and making sure he gets safe first but minutes later when Alfie rams the door down his first instinct is to protect Amber.

I love how he is portrayed as being good with kids. Like this boy has never really had a good father figure until he reconnected with his dad and basically had to raise his sister. All his scenes with Poppy are so precious and the way he speaks to Alfie when he’s de-aged shows how good he is with children and it’s just :((( idk it’s just such a sweet character trait that isn’t talked about enough. His ‘rest of the world nil’ moment with Poppy makes me smile so much bc for so long it really was just those two against the world to him.

I know Jerome has his rat boy moments but sometimes he is just so sweet and it gets overlooked, especially compared to his season 1 character, in season 2 he really steps up.
