DANI & MALCOLM in 2.02 ❤️‍🩹

[incorrectprodigalsonquotes]

You know, as admittedly rushed some aspects of Season 2 was, one thing I really did love was that they just leaned into both the Brightwell and Gilica ships.

Like they were just done messing around with it and realized that the journey of both stories would be so much more interesting and fun but just saying, "yeah, they're getting together but we're keeping you to the edge of your seats and giving you CRUMBS every episode but you will love it regardless" and then also give us big moments.

Like I just loved that. I miss the show a lot but I'm not mad with what we got!

BRIGHTWELL

i Cannot stop thinking about how brightwell has The most unconventional relationship dynamic that i think i've ever seen in a show. they're both So fucked up (in different ways, but the result is similar), bad at everything relationship-wise (even just friendships), and are just so Odd. it's such a refreshing take from the usual "Deeply Traumatised person a is healed and helped by Healthy And Untouched person b", since BOTH of them are fucked up

i love how it's seems like dani is worse at relationships, and it's hinted that she's had pretty terrible exes, and clearly has a wide array of trust issues. i really love that bright, who by all means is More off-putting than she is, is shown to be better at relationships and is able to handle them better than she is. it's so interesting to see their version of friendship, where dani drives him home and makes sure he's as safe as he'll let himself be, and where bright brings her little gifts and backs her up, all while quietly and slowly allowing her to see more of him

it's also just so clear that dani Likes him, even from the beginning. she's roped into all of his Hauntedness super early on, and gets to see firsthand, almost immediately, how messed up he is. the pilot episode shows him nearly dying twice, with dani being the first person to get to him and ask if he's okay. then there's her calling out jt for being a dick in early s1, and her driving him home, babysitting him, being on bright duty pretty much all the time...idk i just love how it's so painfully obvious that she likes him, and how she shows that through a lot of very little things that add up super quickly

bright's accidental sincerity is also something that Gets me BAHAHA him calling dani beautiful and complimenting her, all while he isn't realising that he's doing it is RUAUGH MAN IT'S SO FUN TO SEE!!! him effortlessly complimenting her because it's just True in his head is genuinely so sweet, and i love seeing him say something and then be completely confused when dani starts smiling at him

i really can't see them having a "traditional" sort of relationship, which i LIKE A LOT BAHAHA I LOVE HOW FUCKING WEIRD THEY ARE!!! i can't see them being overly physically affectionate, calling each other pet names, or really just doing Anything more than they did on-screen. i feel like their romantic relationship would be very subtle and lowkey, and that's such a different dynamic than what i usually see, and i LIKE IT A WHOLE LOT!! them both being painfully bad at relationships and being in an unconventional kind of relationship themselves is just so cool to me and i wish we got to see more of that

they just have such an interesting dynamic, and they had that dynamic throughout the whole show. i'm MISERABLE that prodigal son was cancelled for like a million reasons, but i'm DEVASTATED that we didn't get to see their weird, strange, deeply unconventional relationship unfold, because it would have been So fucking cool to see that untraditional relationship dynamic play out

I have no idea how to make tiktok edit but by God do I have so many ideas!

Like an edit with a compliation of Malcolm and Martin when Malcolm was a kid because they were so close that then transitions to when Malcolm’s an adult and it's clear that the parent he takes after is Jessica using that "Mama's boy" audio (you know the one I'm talking about), the one that goes, "m-a-m-a b-o-y... Mama's boy... Mama's boy!"

I have no idea how to make that, but if someone else does, please take the idea and run with it!

Dani: You are wearisome tonight.
