Now about Christine. I actually liked what they did with her. Would I have wanted her to survive? Absolutely! She may still come back. I tried to think of things they could have done to "redeem" her character. I mean, she's willingly sacrificed other peoples children! People who trusted her to take care of their kids. She let her own daughter walk into that prom when she should have just called the whole thing off. She killed Tom. Her final act was only for Candace, screw everyone else.

SPoilers lmao

I’m with u, it made sense for the plot, was in character. Frankly, because she was a fan favorite people are sad, hell I’m sad. I’ve been calling for Zombine (zombie Christine) I think Geri Hall was amazing as Christine, and as always (god willing we get a second season) show plans change. But as explained on twitter, you can’t pitch a multi season show without setting up a second season (now I wasn’t expecting it, but we know I love angst and I love big ole cliffhangers, even if I want to phase out of existence when the shows I like get inevitably canceled because I guess I have obscure taste.) but damn that was a hell of a finale, frankly it’s fun tv.

Yay! How did I know I’d find sanity on your Tumblr? This may become more than one post and I do know to get an account but! I liked the finale too. Yeah there were some editing choices I questioned but it’s a baby show. Candace and Lilly were the tops! I LOVED that moment when Candace forcibly adjusts Lilly’s hands on her shoulders. Their couple dynamic is going to be so much fun in season two. 🤞I’m sorry for the fans who put too much stock in a fun little show. That’s hard.

This is not spoiler free yall

💛 now we know I love a little angst 😭😭😭 I think, and this is what my opinion is, that FortWell is routinely the forefront of the shows plot. That means that like things are going to be more complex for them in general than Astrow who don’t have the same history together/ don’t get the same amount of screen time. I think that people have a tendency, Bourne of what I’m not sure, to think the only good representation is when things go perfectly. Frankly, that is not at all my expectation or experience. This isn’t even a “well at least they aren’t dead” I’m like THESE ARE ACTUAL CHARACTERS! It is completely in character for Candace to lash out because of other things going on (the bullying, the kissing booth and spiking lemonade) and for Lilly to not confront them on things immediately (we see Lilly working on this, but still she does this with Astrid and Candace) I think, well so when my partners dad died unexpectedly, it was an incredibly delicate situation that I wasn’t sure how to handle 100% and we were both 21, so much older and much more mature than either Lilly or Candace. As for the editing, the turn around on this show was insane, they finished filming like end of last year? Then episodes were airing in January, there’s been some rough editing in general- but it’s a campy little monster show with real emotional stakes. Again the fact that Candace and Lilly have actual emotions isn’t just good- in fact it’s a breath of fresh air after a bunch of shows where sapphic characters are together but don’t even seem to love each other, or have traits at all. I can’t do paragraph breaks on my phone RN, thanks world, so sorry for this block of text!!!!
