I only messed with “The Catullan” because I was trying to do something good for “The Foxy.” I wasn’t trying to do something bad to you.

gotta say I am here for the friendships of the main 4. they went from strangers to ‘that seems like a shitty idea but I will help you and also yes I would die for you’. female friendships really are it.

“But I’m a romantic, so I’d want us to like each other for the same specific reason. That we’re both insanely into each other’s hot faces and bods.” - Bela in season 1 episode 3

“And I hesitate to tell you this cause you’re pathologically overconfident, but you’re cute.” -Eric in s2 ep 2

Looks like she got what she wanted ❤️

He was so happy

She was so happy

seemingly i’m on my own in this thought but i really enjoyed both this season and this season finale.

I’m actually quite interested in Bela’s arc and where it’s going to go in the future. To me it like makes complete sense that someone who is clearly very talented suddenly comes into too much power and responsibility and doesn’t know how to deal with it and deal with other people. Bela is lame and has not been good at interacting with people and it’s catching up with her. I’m looking forward to seeing her repent in s3 and the future of the show. We’ve also not seen the end of Eric or Eric and Bela as a couple, he’s BJ Novak. although i’d love to see a different love interest for Bela.

I’ve hated every guy that Whitney has been with apart from Canaan. I’m so excited to see the love triangle of Canaan, Whitney and Kimberly. I’m happy to see Whitney explore her own intelligence, i think it’ll be interesting to see her try and balance very difficult class that takes a lot of time and football when football season starts again. (side not there have been like 4 small jokes about a queer whitney in the show so im hoping queer whitney future but yk)

I would love to see more of Kimberly’s union work, that i felt really spoke true to her character. Jackson grew on me over time. I’m looking forward to seeing jackson try and win kimberly back. Personally i still see more chemistry between canaan and whitney then canaan and kimberly. As well as the fact that they work together and neither of them can afford to not be working together.

This really was Leighton’s season for me. The slut era was hilarious and very realistic for her character. Leighton and Tatum to me was clearly not going to last and she was great for what she provided narratively for the show. Tantum really represented what leighton wanted to be as a queer person and who she was before she got involved with the women’s center. I really love Alicia so I’m happy about her return as well.

A Different Kind of Burn

Did I expect Bela and Eric to have more burn and less bang? Yes.

But in the new age where no one really stays in sexual angst anymore and just bangs, I think we are all introduced to the next generation of slow burn - the we're fucking casually but I'm here in your apartment for the third night in a row because I love spending time with you

We're totally casual but I haven't hooked up with anyone but you kind of slow burn

And I think I like this dynamic more because the one thing I hated about slow burns in the past is that once they get together they lose that cute banter-y edge that made them appealing to begin with and they turn into this mushy gooey couple and it always sat wrongly with me because that means you're only nice to people you want to fuck.

Whereas Bela and Eric's new dynamic is refreshing in the sense that they're already having sex and they still have the same banter they had - including being on dating apps after having casual sex

They're the new slow burn in the sense that ironically enough - their journey is not all about sex- that one has been done and dusted. Their journey is about how when Bela need's advise, she runs to Eric first.

It's how Eric's door is always open for her despite saying otherwise

It's the cute we're so casual we became a couple without even knowing it

It's the slowly falling in love with the person who is my person

And it's a story we've been told before but this is a new take on the trope that is honestly, really freaking exciting because I'm not all about small touches and almost kisses - now I'm all about being in your house three days in a row because even though I say I hate you, I actually really don't. And we tease each other this way but truly I have your back

And I'm rambling but I think that that is so beautiful

[lesliesknopes]

I was hoping that ericbela would be a slowburn but I also see the fwb to lovers vision. The miscommunication, the angst, the denial, one person seeing someone else since they aren’t *officially* together and the other watching from afar.

They better drag out them getting together. I wouldn’t mind watching a few more seasons before they admit they have feelings for each other.

I am actually sad about what they did with Bela and Eric's relationship.

Eric seemed like he cared about Bela and was really affected by what she did, he even called his parents for emotional support. When he said "When someone like me likes you, I'm not enough" that shit hurt. But we didn't see Bela feeling really bad about it. Sure she felt shitty but it seemed like she didn't understand the gravity of the situation or the pain she caused.

We can see that Bela is not sure of herself at ALL and is really insecure. She thinks her value or worth lies in her sexuality, her popularity, and her success. She focuses so much on the value others put on her that she doesn't see her actual value like Eric did. This is why I think is really sad, he really liked her for what she was and she was comfortable being herself with him. As long as she doesn't understand and learns to be authentic and true to herself is unlikely we'll see growth in her character. Also, we didn't get any talk about the power abuse of the comedian, and the fact that Bela uses her sexuality to advance in her career. I thought if they talked about this, it would at least be worth what they did to those characters but no. When he told all his staff that he slept with a college freshman, that was disgusting.

[catty-words]

been pretending that i’m not all in for bela/eric tslocg because i tell myself comfortable lies about not being predictable but the fact that she found out about his counter-attack while he was inside her?? the way the full-on war they’ve just entered is punctuated by the sex turning into a low-key hate fuck?? these were galaxy-brained moves from which my belligerent sexual tension loving ass will never recover, the illusion that i’m not hanging on their every interaction is well and truly shattered

⚠️ SLOCG SEASON 2 EPS 1 + 2 SPOILERS ⚠️

First of all, Bela finding out where Eric lives is on brand for her. I also love how she took the time to find it.

Second of all, I did not think that they would fuck this soon 😭. I genuinely believed that they would be a slowburn, which technically, they could still be, which is what I want to talk about.

I do still think they’re gonna be a slowburn.

The scene after they had sex feels to me like some sort of foreshadowing. Obviously, they both want it casual right now, but it seems like that won’t last for very long.

I feel like Bela is definitely going to try to keep it casual because she may not want to come to terms with her feelings, so she’ll probably be stubborn about it. But, I do believe that Eric will be the first one to take the step and admit his feelings for her.

She’ll probably try to blow it off at first, because of the fact she won’t want to acknowledge her own feelings. Also, given the fact that she went through so much prior to the break, she has every right to do that.

But, still, it’ll probably blow up whatever relationship they have. This’ll maybe probably force her to finally admit her feelings for him. Whatever happens after is totally up to her, whether she wants to admit it to him or not.

This is my personal theory of how their relationship will go. Regardless of whether or not this happens this season or the next. Or, I could be completely wrong, lol.

[devisrina]

Okay but it’s actually disgusting to me that Dan bragged about fucking Bela to his entire writing staff.

EWW
