Submitted context (possible spoilers) and propaganda under the cut

Sal and Walky : From the site's cast page:

Walky is his parents’ favorite child. He’s smart and he doesn’t get into trouble, but he could be a little more ambitious. He’s here at college because his parents want him to be, but mostly what he wants to do is watch television and goof off. Lucky for him that good grades came easily to him (in high school), so he figures college will be everything he’s ever wanted. No parents, no structure order — just eating McNuggets whenever, wherever.

Walky is Sal’s twin brother, and the two very different siblings haven’t really spoken much in a long while.

Sal’s parents always liked her brother Walky better, and so over the years she started rebelling more and more to get attention. This culminated in a double convenience store holdup that got her arrested and exiled to a Catholic boarding school in Tennessee for most of her teen years. Her parents expected her to find Jesus (or whatever), but she instead found smoking, tattoos, and motorcycles. As you can imagine, Sal turns a lot of heads, but she finds this mostly annoying. Stop idolizing her, dammit. She can’t help how cool she is.

You know, I REALLY wasn't expecting the Joyce/Joe plot in @dumbingofage, but the more I see of them the more I love it. They're just.... they encourage each other to grow just by existing, and also Joe's actually stepping up and being supportive and kind and I knew he had it in him but it's really lovely to see. <3 <3 <3

Also Joyce's mom's recent appearance is just. giving me flashbacks to my mom. ugh. Poor Joyce.

Also hot damn, we're really not pulling any punches about how racist Walky and Sal's mom is about black women (including her own daughter) are we? I approve just, WOW it's way more blatant than I'd expected, somehow. GET OFF YOUR HIGH FUCKIN HORSE MRS WALKERTON YOU'RE A DOUCHEWALLET.

Malaya: Hey Sal, how do I make a date more romantic?

Sal: Maybe try being more mysterious?

Later:

Marcie: Where are we going?

Malaya: None of your fucking business.

Here’s the thing about me liking somebody: either I’m nice to ‘em, or I bug the everlovin’ shit outta ‘em forever and ever.

[prince-atom]

Not to try and invalidate Sal's larger point here, but I suspect they wouldn't have got very far trying to fight the courts for her. She's Black, she has a school record, and she was accused of robbing a convenience store.
