I’m happy that they brought him back and had ruby go and see him to really grow and finally fully deal with being shut and put it behind him

Watching On My Block

and I know I'm late to the party but I am so appreciative of the development of Jasmine as a character. I actually originally decided against watching the show bc in the first few episodes, she was treated as the "annoying wannabe friend who doesn't realize how unwanted she is" who was also the fattest character and the sleaziest/vulgar one? That didn't strike me as the kind of show I would like, given that lots of high school shows still use fatness as a shorthand for "loser" (looking at you, Never Have I Ever, also pulled it together after Season 1 because of serious backlash over Eric, but still, they originally went hard for the "fat loser who is also unintelligent and constantly gross").

Jasmine is then shown as a very empathetic, mature and caring friend who is very aware that others find her annoying, but prioritizes being herself and finding joy where she can. Which was nice to see.

But what really stayed on my mind is season 3. She rebuffs someone's advances by saying "Look, you only want to be with me bc I'm safe and familiar and you are feeling insecure and lost and scared of the uncertain future. You need me as a support person, but you don't really want me as a person otherwise. I'm someone's whole life's love, not just a person to lean on (and kiss/sleep with) when you're feeling bad." And she stays his friend! But she won't date him.

And I know this is a fictional show, all the actors playing 15-year-olds are 22+, yada yada, but I WISH I had seen something like this on TV when I was a teenager??!!!

That would have been so meaningful and useful to me, to see a girl who is portrayed as the "not that cute and not really all that liked" girl stand up for herself instead of being grateful to be chosen at all/the constant support person for whoever belongs to the popular group/just a comic relief tag-along

I'm glad it's there for the young people today, at least.

There might be a million posts like this already, I didn't check the tag bc I didn't want to spoiler anything for myself

Perhaps the spectators might take pity on me. I was on the dance floor days after a terrible injury to the head. Perhaps I needed someone to steady me. Make sure I was all right. Perhaps you were the first person I found.

[intheshadows869]

why must I live in a world where no man will ever love me to the point that his honor is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment he spends in my presence.

How am I suppose to live with the fact that I will never be the bane of someone’s existence and the object of all their desires??!
