when greg told rebecca she was the love of his life my heart lurched and inexplicably felt closer to god

GUYS I THINK I FINISHED MY GREBECCA FIC

I need to proof it again but I think it’s done!

[settle-for-me]

I already dream about Greg and Rebecca’s The Godfather-themed wedding every single day.

And then I read this:

I mean.

🇮🇹🍝👰🏻🤵🏻

I’m genuinely curious if the people bashing Tootsie for being problematic have actually seen the show???? Cause it’s not a replica of the movie, they updated the book. And I felt like they made it very clear that this character was an entitled asshole and not making sound decisions. Literally no other character supported what he was doing (disguising himself as a woman to get a job because he was getting blacklisted for being a difficult actor). They made it very clear that what he was doing was stupid.

I’m just saying....before you bash the whole show and Santino for winning the Tony (that he deserved, I’m sorry, that man performs his ASS OFF in that show and his vocals are on point), maybe don’t judge it based on what you think the show is saying and on what it’s actually saying.

And if you genuinely don’t like it, that’s fine too!!!! I’m just saying, it sounds like a lot of assumptions based on secondhand or misinformation.

[settle-for-me]

I’m not sure if anyone else but me noticed this but I thought it was important

[settle-for-me]

I woke up and saw that Santino won and my first thought was ‘whoop-dee-fricken’-doo, a Tony’ and now I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head alllllll daaaaaayyyy.

HE COULD IF HE WANTED TOOOOOOOO…SO HE DID.

[settle-for-me]

so when Greg left the show I started writing a fic on my phone that I quickly abandoned because I suck

but I’ve started slowly writing more and more....

it’s an AU “what if Greg actually met her on the bridge”....is that something anyone would actually care to read?

As someone who is in therapy (and actually fangirled over this with my therapist), I can confirm that they did an AMAZING job very dilibratly naming their episodes. Because all of season 4 are what my therapist calls “I statements”. She’s focusing on herself, her feelings, her needs.

It’s amazing.

All of season 1 the titles are focused on Josh and end in exclamation points. It’s obsessive and gives off a bit of a manic vibe.

Season 2 is also all centered on Josh, but they end in question marks. She’s still focused on Josh, but she’s starting to question it. She doesn’t feel as sure of herself, her life, or her feelings.

Season 3 is my favorite, title-wise. For the most part they all end in periods. They are statements; Rebecca is certain and confident in what she feels (even if what she feels is the need for revenge). This lasts for 7 episodes, BUT THEN it changes on episode 8. She reverts back to her season 1 frame of mind. Episode titles 8-12 are Nathaniel centric and end with exclamation marks, indicating she’s feeling the same euphoric obsession for Nathaniel she was feeling for Josh in season 1. This ends the same way it did for Josh, when Nathaniel get his own “Nathaniel is Irrelivent.” title.

Season 4, as I mentioned earlier are all “I statements”. There is no punctuation, giving it an almost calm feeling. They��re honest and straightforward in a way Rebecca has not been able to be in all the other seasons. It’s beautiful.

All this to say, the writers did a wonderful job and everyone should acknowledge this.

Can I just say I love the fact that for the first two seasons of Crazy Ex Girlfriend, the episode titles are all about Josh, then season 3 is Josh and Nathaniel relevant, and then the fourth season is all about Rebecca, its all about her journey instead of guys? Like I love it so so so so much
