TSITP 2x05 - “Love Fool” : Jeremiah’s point of view

“- Conrad could have chosen his words better. But he’s not wrong. The truth hurts. All of it hurts.”

“- Our dad was never going to win a Father of the Year award. He was flawed, that’s for sure. But when it counted, he was there at the end. Conrad just couldn’t see it. He didn’t want to.”

“- Sometimes I hate myself for how long it took me to notice it. That invisible force between the two of them. I wanted to tell Conrad that he had no right, that he’d ignored Belly for all these years. But it wasn’t just up to Conrad. It was Belly’s choice, too. So I forced myself to let it go. There were more important things to worry about then, anyway.” 

“- Being around Belly this week has made me remember all over again. And my genius plan to stay pissed at her and keep her at arm’s length is a failure. So I just keep telling myself over and over, it’ll never be me. It’s always going to be Conrad.”

“- When she looks at me like this, I can almost let myself believe she sees me the way she used to see Conrad.” 

“- Does he know how badly I’ve wanted to take Belly’s hand like that? Would he care?”

“- I can remember the exact moment when everything changed. From the first moment I saw her last summer. She’d always been just Belly. A girl I’ve know my whole life, my friend. Except what I was feeling in that moment was so much stronger. I wanted to grab her and hold her and kiss the shit out of her. And the feeling never went away. But I wasn’t the only one. I tried to convince myself for a long time that they weren’t inevitable. That I had a chance. But it’s pretty clear to me now that I never actually did.”

“- I was annoyed with Conrad that day, with everything about him. He’d gotten to take Belly to her prom, and he’d acted like it was some big chore. If it had been me, I would have done it right. I wouldn’t have forgotten the corsage. I’d have given her the perfect night. (I was heartbroken).  - Conrad forgot Belly’s corsage? That’s shitty of him.  (...) - You always remember what makes Belly happy. You still have feelings for her.  (Susannah) - No, Mom. I got over that crush a long time ago.  - You never let anyone see you hurting. Yeah, well, sometimes I think you’re a little too good a being fine. (Susannah) - Well, isn’t that what everyone wants me to be?  - No. Not me. This is all my fault. I got so excited at the prospect of Belly being with one of my boys. It must have been so hard for you, seeing her with your brother. (Susannah) - I don’t want you have to worry about that, Mom. - Promise me. You and Conrad will never let anything come between you. You will always put each other first. (Susannah) - Mom, Con and I are fine. I promise. You don’t have to worry about that, okay? She chose him. They chose each other and I’m... - Her best friend (Shit not the thing to say). This is just the beginning of your story, Jere. And I can’t guarantee anyone’s feelings. Or promise that no one will get hurt. But the fun in life is figuring out where the rest of the story goes. Do you know what my graduation quote was? Amelia Earhart. “Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” Remember that. I adore you, sunshine boy. (Susanna)  - My day always loved Conrad better. But I had my mom. She was the only person who ever really saw me. Her and Belly.”

“- My whole life, it’s always been Conrad for Belly. But maybe... maybe, for the rest of the story, it could be me.”

I don't think there was anything more embarrassing and stupid than the belly going to demand the kiss that jeremiah didn't want to give her

SCREAMING @ Taylor and Steven dancing in 2x05 💀

[ravens-words]

Watched the bonfire scene from TSITP 2x05 and I have two things to say:

1. Conrad's face after Skye dares B to kiss J was devastating.

2. The way Jere was looking at Cam when he was talking about his dead sister had me 👀 I've shipped it since S1, but now I NEED it.

TSITP 2x05 - “Love Fool” : Quick Reaction

Oh Jeremiah I cried so much for you.

You have been hurt so so much and no one cared.

It was such a pleasure to have Jeremiah’s point of view this time.

The Summer I Turned Pretty 2x05 : Team Jelly as endgame.

"My whole life, it’s always been Conrad for Belly. But maybe... maybe, for the rest of the story, it could be me."

Because if I kiss you, I don’t know that I can ever stop.

Cannot wait to be tomorrow.

TSITP 2x05 - “Love Fool” : Jeremiah x Belly

“- I mean, I’m just going to the screening room. (Jeremiah) - Sounds like an adventure to me. I mean, we never know what we’ll find behind these doors.  (Belly) - It’s a country club, not Narnia. (Jeremiah) - Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” (Belly)

“- Movie nights would always make me think of you. (Jeremiah) - I’d miss you so much. And I’d just think I should call you, but... I wish you had. And I would have answered. I would have come. (Belly) - It would have just made things harder.”  (Jeremiah)

“- Do I have BO or something? I mean, I’ve never seen you turned down a Truth or Dare kiss before. (Belly) - Don’t-don’t do that.  (Jeremiah) - Do what? I’m just trying to talk to you. I mean, before on the, on the boardwalk.... (Belly) - Just stop. Okay?  (Jeremiah) - Why? Why don’t you want to kiss me? (Belly) - Because if I kiss you, I don’t know that I can ever stop. (Jeremiah) - So, um.... What are you saying? (Belly) - I don’t know, Bells, it’s complicated. That thing you said earlier? About “adventure is worthwhile”? Did you mom tell you about that? (Jeremiah) - No, I... saw it on your graduation cap. When my mom went, she, uh, recorded the whole ceremony. I saw you get your diploma. Strut up the stage. I wanted to be there for your day, even if it was, you know... just through my mom’s photo. 

“- Good night, Bells”

The Summer I Turned Pretty 2x05 - “Love Fool”

When I started this new episode I wouldn’t thought for a second to hear Jeremiah’s voice.

But yes, it was Jeremiah’s point of view this time and let me tell you it was so sad, but also so beautiful. To have Jeremiah’s thoughts was a blessing. To understand how much he was hurt because of Belly’s actions. I honestly cried all the way long. I couldn’t hold back my tears, falling down my cheeks. It was a sad day. Maybe not the best way to start the day. 

I think this season will be pretty strong emotionally, because it’s about the death of a very important person and how you can manage grief coming from it. This season is about grief, hurt, mistake. Definitively not about love. 

Also, I learned this week (previous to the episode) that in the book it’s Jeremiah and Conrad’s father that wants to sell the house. That make so much more sense! I really don’t understand why they have created this aunt and her daughter. First, it’s legally wrong, she would be the fourth person to inherit the house only if Adam, Conrad and Jeremiah died before without any descendant. Second, I’m just thinking before even giving the house to Julia, Susannah would have gifted it to her best friend, Laurel. 

I think that Belly doesn’t know how much she have hurt Jeremiah. I don’t know if she will ever find out, but I hope she will, because she would understand how perfect Jeremiah would have been as her boyfriend (even better after the prom scene and the corsage). 

I think the worst part is that Belly wasn’t there for Jeremiah when his mother was slowly dying! Knowing that he was in fact the one taking care of her. That was heartbreaking. And yes, Conrad is a selfish asshole, who again need deep deep therapy. 

We also learned that Jeremiah was in fact the first to fall in love with Belly, way before Conrad, that’s amazingly good news for Team Jelly. 

But to this point, I think the most interesting couple would be Taylor and Steven. 

At the end, when Belly and Jeremiah were walking in the grass next to each other, Jeremiah should have taken Belly’s hand (the actor should have improvised on the moment). 

Finally, when Belly and Jeremiah slept next to each other, I think it was a direct parallel to Belly and Jeremiah in bed together during season 1.

I hope that Taylor and Belly will stick to their promise regarding first love. 

The only thing missing was the timeline. Can someone tell me in which order those events have taken place: Belly’s prom, Thanksgiving, Jeremiah’s graduation, the funeral?  And during how many month Belly and Conrad dated?

And the biggest question of all: Which month Susannah died? (The actrice was amazing in the this exhibition. 

Do you think that Belly will tell Taylor that she cannot join the volley team?

They have kept Cam Cameron and not Nicole, seriously what’s wrong with you?

Oh and we had back to back Frank Ocean’s songs. The playlist was good again with (not every songs) : - “Goodbye” by Cage the Elephant. - “Nikes” by Frank Ocean.  - “Moon River” by Frank Ocean. - “Heaven” by Niall Horan. - “Die For You” by Joji (I heard that you’re happy without me. And I hope it’s true. I’d still die for you). - “I can’t go back to the Way it Was” by The Kid LAROI.

TSITP 2x05 - “Love Fool” : Jeremiah x Conrad

“- I was just hoping that you could... (Conrad) - What? (Jeremiah) - Give you my blessing? (Conrad) - I can’t believe you came here like this. You know what? Just do what you want. You always do anyways. (Jeremiah) - Jere, I want to be with her. And I... really think that’s what she wants, too. But she’s afraid of hurting you, Jere. (Conrad) - Oh, is that right? (Jeremiah) - Yeah. And it’s tearing her up that you haven’t responded to her texts since last summer. (Conrad) - Yeah. Well, I’ve been busy. (Jeremiah) - Jere, I don’t want you to hate us, but I think about her all the time. And it hurts, like, my chest physically hurts, to not be able to tell her that I’m in love with her. (Conrad) - When your brother tells you something like that, there’s only one right answer. Even if it doesn’t feel right at all. I’m not going to be the one to keep you guys apart. So go for it.” (Jeremiah)

“- It’s good seeing you and Belly get along again. I know she missed having you as a friend.”

“- Next time Belly is coming over, can you give me a heads-up or something? (Jeremiah) - I thought you knew everybody was coming over. (Conrad) - Yeah, I did. But if you guys are going to be here together, then I don’t want to be around. (Jeremiah) - Of course, we’re.... (Conrad) - No, it’s better for everyone if we just keep some distance, okay? You do your thing and I’ll do mine.” (Jeremiah)

Jeremiah would have make their night perfect.

TSITP 2x05 - “Love Fool” : Jeremiah

After having his point of view, I really believe that he is in love with Belly.
