I feel like the writing was really good for the most part until the couple episodes and I wish the season was longer . It should have been longer so that it gave more time to actually figure out feelings and at least give Eric and Rahim proper closure . I thought it would been nice to have Eric and Adam end up together. They way they handled relationships ending in general was really shitty this season. I hated how things went with Ola and Otis as well.

oh yeah, the writing in general is exceptional. the characters have great depth and the realism of the show is intriguing, as it does portray people actually being people with the own rawness and flaws. but i, personally, see the whole 'let the bully win over their victim' trope as something that has been used far too often in relation to relationships in general, and i'm just personally tired of it. it was a shitty move, doing rahim like that? i would’ve reacted the same way had it been any other character. it’s just not right. to think that eric would openly just go with that in front of someone who is supposed to be his boyfriend, a guy who has been nothing but honest with him from day one? i just don’t see it as something romantic, and i feel like adam needs more time to redeem himself properly, as in actually trying actively to show eric that he is coming around. i’m just not big on eric and adam ending up in general, at least not with such a short span between him having bullied eric and suddenly wanting to come out. 

but, as rahim said, ‘he might be there to hold your hand, but are you sure he will catch you’ (along those lines, i don’t remember the quote correctly now), which might as well be foreshadowing in the upcoming season, because i can only assume that they are doing another with the loose ends we got this time around.

but yeah, the breakup this season was awful, god awful. at the same time, there is some realism in that, because a lot of breakups are nasty and complicated like that, being a bit shitty. it was a red thread this season, definitively, and while not every breakup can be solved properly... i still feel like it was... a bit cheap to make every ending relationship into something complicated (such as jean’s sudden pregnancy as well ? why drag that into everything ? ). i feel like ola and otis could’ve figured things out differently? they are relatively bright characters with a lot of social competence? so it was a shame to see them end like that, but hey, good on ola figuring herself out though ? the scene with her and adam made me laugh. just, casually doing queer tests while working, that was just hand kissing gorgeous

sorry, no, not digging it.

really not digging the whole ‘bully of queer teen turned out to be queer himself and only bullied him to deal with his own insecurity, projecting his own self hatred onto someone else, only to now pursue his victim who he sees being happy with someone else and actually ending up ruining a relationship out of his own desperate need of acknowledgement from one man he has feelings for’-vibe that the writers are pushing in this season. you know are that problematic characters are perfectly capable of redeeming themselves without ruining other people’s relationships? you know that they are perfectly capable of changing without managing to win someone over? to see the show actually going in the direction of pairing up adam and eric really, really, really makes me fume, for to see someone actually accepting someone that has put them through as much pain and torment as adam has to eric? sickening. not my cup of tea. 

yeah, people do change, and that is very, very fair. they are teens. also fair. what isn’t fair is how they execute this. adam bullied eric, made eric hate himself and fear his own identity, a fear we still see whenever he is around rahim, and you are now telling me that everything is going to be OKAY because adam wants eric to HOLD HIS HAND? this trope is old, dead and rotten. get it away. eric should have just brushed him off, given him a hug and been there as a friend instead of actually waltzing back into the arms of a guy who sneaked around with him, ashamed of being with him in public.

god forbid if we actually had a healthy m/m couple with differences for once.

did Sex Education really just give Eric the perfect boyfriend and then have him go back to the guy who bullied him for literal years and doesn't seem a tiny bit sorry about it....

[morgendag]

okay so aren’t anyone going to address the fact that it was a dicky move to actually ruin a perfectly decent, wholehearted relationship between two queer males just to have the ‘broken delinquent’ get the guy he’s been bullying for a long time? because i sure as heck wasn’t happy with how adam suddenly needed to confess his desire for eric, when he has actually found someone who is there for him, 120%, despite their differences. :)

Having friends that allow you to just FEEL without judgement is so important
