THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY || Conrad and Belly in 3.05 "Last Dance" That night, that was the last time we were ever together like that. What if I hadn't fucked it up four years ago? What if I hadn't pushed her away like I always do?

[cratercowboy]

I do feel like in this wave of hatred for Belly we are forgetting that she has no idea Conrad is consumed by his love for her? Remember he took it all back at the end of season 2 and he’s been away for four years. She has convinced herself that any move he makes she previously would second guess or question as romantic is all in her head because that’s what he’s let her believe?

So yea, she’s desperate to perceive him as a brother type figure because she thinks that’s what everyone — including him — wants? But that’s innately not how she sees it so she comes off a total mess. If he starts really giving her a couple undeniable signals when they spend six entire weeks together that’s inevitably going to change how she acts and feels.

When he’s too in love with you to NOT go to your wedding!

booktok YA n smut is one of those things where it’s rly hard to criticize it publicly for serious things like misogyny or racism or homophobia n how it enforces capitalism bc 99.9% of the backlash is ppl proclaiming the death of literature is coming bc women like to read porn. like I hate this as well but I hate it for a better reason that these ppl do.

It's okay to have blatant double standards that favor women

[cratercowboy]

Shut the fuck up about feminine and masculine energy

severance prediction:

Gemma actually ends up with Devon by the end of the show. How? Well once she escapes hell (very possible!!!) she’s feeling a bit too conflicted about Mark (who will have fully reintegrated) developing a romantic relationship with his coworker so she tells him she needs some space to think. She ends up spending a lot of time with Devon, her baby, and Ricken (loser). Having Gemma around again makes Devon realize she deserves more than Ricken.

Gemma is there for Devon when she’s going through her divorce, similarly to how Devon is helping Gemma rehabilitate. Each realize how amazing the other person really is and they slowly fall in love. Mark is cool with it ig.

Free my man Mr Milchik he should have been an English teacher

what i don't understand about people totally writing off helena as evil and nothing more is 1) this show is filled with characters with so much nuance and so many layers. every single one of them actually, and 2) you can't believe "love transcends severance" with burt and irving and mark and gemma and then separate who helena is from helly. the central storyline of the show is not creating a clone of yourself who later wants their own agency, it's severing a part of yourself. innies and outties are not different people. that's why outtie mark was still pulled to petey in s1 and why innie mark still felt grief over gemma even when he didn't remember her. why innie irving was attracted to the art on the severed floor, as outtie irving is an artist, and why innie dylan came up with huge ideas about who he could be outside because outside he felt like a failure. whatever you like about helly, her kindness, smarts, humor, strong-headedness, feeling of entrapment are all a part of helena. they're the same qualities reacting with different external factors, and as reintegration is a part of the storyline, to a degree they are the same person

[cratercowboy]

something about outie Mark is that he keeps not thinking about how his innie will react to certain things or even what his innie would want.

Now that he went through with reintegration I’m really curious to see how these feelings for Helly R. will mesh with his desire to find Gemma. Bc there’s going to be a TON of inner turmoil there. It’s gonna be such a mess. I’m so excited.
