#also very intrigued to see how this adult ceremony goes 👀

[bobsfic]

I’m so so excited for OBX 4! Can’t wait to see how the story goes!! I was thinking, OBX diving into the Blackbeard chapter must mean there’s another 2/3 seasons planned, I just don’t see why/ how they would wrap it up in 1. I need more seasons of jiara aged up 👀 and the pogues, I’m so intrigued how it’s going to go!

Have you got any thoughts? Or wants? Jiara and the plot?

AHHH ME TOO!!!!

i haven't given super specific wants a lot of thought, because i am absolutely going to be wrong lmao, but in broad terms, i'm hoping for a focus on the pogue relationships/friendships, and to explore some of the different pairings we haven't really seen (sarah/jj, cleo/kie, etc). i would love to see rafe take over as the main baddie, because i think that will lead to some interesting storylines for the characters, and i also think drew will really own that role. i do think the whole blackbeard chapter has a lot of potential for interesting storytelling that is more local to the outer banks, which i'm pumped for!

i'm also really looking forward to seeing the pogues aged up. the time jump was a bit of a jump scare at first, i will admit, and i am still disappointed that we're going to miss early relationship jiara, but i'm hopeful we'll get some good bits through flashbacks, and i am very excited that they're going to have more freedom as adults.

and in terms of jiara, i kind of want them to be the stable relationship of the show, y'know? like they're together and that's just how it is. casual touches in the background of scenes, sharing a look that says more than words, just living their life together, without the drama like jarah b. i would love for them to explore the effects of kie's struggles with her parents from last season (despite them being all happy at the ceremony there's got to be more going on there right??) and also for jj to have an actual arc of his own. i think there's some good potential, if they do bring luke back, for that to be a cause of some friction between jiara too.

after the little sneak peek from that netflix thing, i'm also feeling pretty good about jiara living together (and at the maybank house no less?? which i didn't expect). jj maybank isn't decorating the mantle with candles, imo! but the idea of jj fixing up his childhood house into a home for them to share makes me all kinds of emotional. maybe that's even going to be the new chateau/pogue hangout?

okay i have rambled on for FAR too long, if you're still reading what are you hoping for in season 4? i would love to hear your thoughts!
