have you been keeping up with gavv? because holy hell, i think the beginning arc has been one of the strongest beginnings we've had. so many goddamn emotional moments and crazy good fights

oh Gavv has been excellent so far, I've been enjoying it a lot! :> Shoma's an absolutely delightful protagonist, and the balance between "cute silly candy shenanigans" and "urban fantasy crime noir" is...working surprisingly well, actually?

although it does lead to the show basically having two modes:

When your father tried his best to provide for you but he worked all the time and even when he was home he was either tired or stressed and he’s always liked to get drunk to relax and cheer up. When you know he values work ethics and respectability so you grew up to be capable and quiet. And when he says you’re like him you’re sort of puzzled, does he really know you so little, or does he know himself so little? But you like the feeling of your father ruffling your hair so you accept it, and still you stand next to your mother just as silent and just as stoic as her during family gatherings. He leaves again and again and when your mother leaves him nothing changes, really. You wonder if it’s more telling that you know him better than he seems to himself or that you don’t know him as much as you wish you did, or that you don’t think about him all that much these days. Out of sight, out of mind. And he’s never really been there, even when he was there, after all.

I’ve been thinking about something while watching Ginny & Georgia. There are many beautiful parallels between Georgia and Joe, and Ginny and Marcus, but what stands out the most to me is the way they make them feel safe.

In Season 1, when Georgia is asked what she really wants, she doesn’t say love, success, or even happiness. She simply says:

“I wanna feel safe enough that I can just be free.”

That line says everything. That’s her whole story. Her deepest dream, her truest wish, her ultimate goal. For years, Georgia survived behind a carefully crafted mask pretty smiles, charm, control, and quick lies, all woven into the fragile armor she built to protect herself.

She wasn’t who she really was, just who people needed her to be. But deep down, she hoped to find someone one day who could truly see her, accept her without judgment, and choose to stay.

And Georgia says it herself, more than once:

“You know what I like about you, Joe? I never feel like you’re judging me.” And later, it becomes even clearer: “What I love about you is that you never judge me.” Notice the shift from like to love. That’s how safe he made her feel.

Then, in Season 2, Ginny admits she feels safe with Marcus and suddenly, something clicks for Georgia. She understands exactly what that means, because she’s felt it too… with Joe. Almost like a quiet confession, she tells Marcus:

“She knows what it’s like to be loved by a man who makes her feel safe.” “That’s huge. To feel safe.”

In that moment, it’s clear she’s not just speaking for Ginny, she’s speaking for herself too.

Because with Joe, it’s different. No masks, no lies. Just stillness, softness, and truth. For once, she’s allowed to just be. Not survive. Just live.

Georgia, who constantly lives in flight mode, always moving, always running from her past and trauma, only found a safe place in Joe’s presence. He’s the only man she felt truly herself with.

By Season 3, there’s no doubt: Joe is her refuge, her quiet, steady harbor. The place her heart has always longed to return to. The boy whose kindness stayed with her. The man who sees her for who she truly is… and stays anyway.

He’s the one who remained when everyone else walked away. Always there for her. The one who embraces her chaos and loves her all the same.

And that’s where the beautiful parallel lies: Joe is to Georgia what Marcus is to Ginny.

They accept them fully, exactly as they are, with all their flaws, secrets, and scars. They love them unconditionally, without trying to fix or change anything.

They are the quiet harbors in their storms, safe places where hearts can rest. Steady, gentle loves that hold without asking for more. They offer comfort, stability, and a refuge from the chaos around them.

Joe is Georgia’s anchor, grounding her through every trial and storm. Marcus is Ginny’s steady presence, a calm in the middle of life’s upheavals.

Ginny and Georgia found exactly what they had been searching for, and what they truly needed all along: a love that lets them feel safe, truly seen, and finally free.

Sometimes love is a blaze of passion, but more often, it’s the quiet feeling of finally coming home.

buck and eddie both figure out their feelings and ask each other out on valentines day at the same time only after going to the same stores to get flowers and chocolates and only barely missing each other because they were laser focused on the exact thing the other would want and walked right past each other. so then they both go to each others house/ apartment and let themselves in for a big romantic reveal to find- well nothing because theyre both gone so eddie goes oh duh buck is at the house not his apartment and buck is just confused because why would eddie not be at the house is he at bucks apartment? why would he go to bucks apartment he knows buck just comes here. so buck wants his romantic reveal to work again so he gets ready to surprise eddie when he opens the door while on the other side eddie is getting ready to surprise buck when he opens the door. they end up opening the door at the same time and falling into each other when the door opened faster than they expected so here they are on the ground in the entrance of eddies their home just deeply entrances staring at each other asking you did all of this for me? not caring that their surprises got ruined because it really was always going to end up like this for them orbiting around each other slowly coming together until they were ready to finally crash into each other when the pull got too strong to hide anymore. so their first kiss is right there on the ground in the entrance to their home laughing and breathless and just so right

[startedwellthatsentence]

Most of the way into a bottle of wine, sad that once again we lost a real chance at exploring polyamory in mainstream media*.

I want to speculate for a bit on what the intent of the final episode might have been, in the case where they weren’t (apparently) censored.

We KNOW that (the) Doctor Odyssey (writers room) LOVED direct parallels. Every character treating or dealing with a patient revealed their own internal truths.

Max saw in Ken a superficial hedonism that belied a deep seeking of self expression and understanding

Tristan saw the older cancer patient and her younger lover and saw his own relationship with Avery (and Max) — she was leaving at the end of the season, he potentially has a terminal illnsss

Avery dealt with the castaway woman who despite all odds survived to reunite with her husband

So what were the initial writers and casting directors looking for when they cast for 1x17-8? What parallels were they exploring?

Captain Massey’s is easy, as I don’t think they modified his much — that’s why his parallel still felt like the real Odyssey. The couple organizing the weddings weren’t right for each other, they worked together as business partners instead of romantic partners, so they’re getting a divorce. Massey shouldn’t mourn the loss of a romantic entanglement, and he gets to keep his ship. Easy.

Tristan’s is also pretty clear, when you cut away all of the pro-natalist bullshit that they replaced his actual plot with. (He was with the racist cryptic pregnancy and the midwife.) PARALLELS: Love can come from unexpected places. It is possible to care for people who you do not expect to be compatible with. Reacting poorly because of a romantic loss doesn’t make you irredeemable, as long as there are loving people who are willing to support you through the pain. You have to work on your own bullshit in order to be a better person, but lashing out, even multiple times, can be forgiven if you put in the effort. Sometimes unexpected love is hard work, but it’s worth the effort.

Max was with the talkative coroner. His is slightly harder to understand. (Potential) PARALLELS: the things you have identified as obstacles to your love life may not be insurmountable. (Max seems to think that his biggest problem is the running away thing, when it’s actually the “expresses his feelings as orders” issue.) Your tendency to interfere with others actually comes from a deep love. (The coroner wants to connect with people, even those he cannot reach — the dead, the non-English-speaking market seller; Max dispenses advice and mandates when he wants to show that he cares.) Pursuing your partners’ interests may result in relationship progress, even if it feels like a disaster at the time. (The coroner doing the hike and dinner and having it rained out parallels Max attempting a threesome with his poly love interest and the ensuing relationship drama.) Earnest attempts to communicate, however bumbling, can still have good results. (The lackluster Spanish resulted in human connection AND effective acquisition of medication. Max’s intent to communicate his needs with Avery being met with her frustration WAS more of a her problem, not a him problem, in the finale.)

Avery was with Dr. Aaron Samuels. Hers is the hardest to parse. Most of his time that was left in the episode by the time the finale aired was just exposition for the Max shit above. Potentially: he is a psychiatrist, which means he has an MD but doesn’t have much recent experience. He is a potential mirror to her future, as she may spend the next 2-4 years studying instead of practicing medicine? Maybe he wasn’t her parallel? The next option is the guy who went out of his way to go get his new stepdaughter’s book because it was a gift from her dad … except that was also made into a TRISTAN plot about how going to extremes to express your love can be dangerous, but ultimately fruitful, and how non-traditional arrangements can still be as loving as traditional ones. I feel like Avery didn’t GET a parallel patient for the finale, which may explain why she didn’t feel like she was learning anything or going anywhere???

Obviously, the finale sucked ass. It was awful. We only got HALF a scene that had ANY of the Odyssey magic (the “I would stay with you both forever in paradise” discussion, which they had to temper by MOVING TRISTAN A FOOT AWAY AND HAVING HIM CALL MAXAVERY CUTE 🤢🤮). But I feel like the bones of a good episode were there, they just didn’t get to actually make the episode they had intended. This was a drunken attempt to reconstruct the episode that would have made SENSE based on how the show used to work before 1x08.

*I also want to take a moment here to mention that calling Doctor Odyssey “queerbaiting” is bullshit. The secondary love story in the two-part finale was LITERALLY a gay couple. You children don’t have the capacity to realize how MUCH things have changed, that a gay wedding as the direct parallel to the main love story of this show was so uninteresting that the direct interference of the network barely noticed it. The plot that DID make it through was “Max/Avery, a heterosexual couple, should aspire to be as in love as these two gay men”. When I made this tumblr account, that would have been IMPOSSIBLE as a plot on network TV, and now it’s the LEAST progressive route this show could have possibly taken. The show didn’t queerbait, it queer-delivered. Unfortunately, the gay shit wasn’t the plot we were actually promised, and they UTTERLY failed to deliver on the poly shit.
