Watching your otp say ‘I love you’ for the first time is cool and all but what about watching a surrogate/second mother hear it from her unruly teenage son for the first time????????????

a dead to me snippet
from a scene i'm not sure will ever exist, so, here ya go. future james after finding out the truth/details of what happened to lily.
“I’m—I’m going to—how can I—,” James couldn’t get the words out, couldn’t hold a thought long enough to even figure out what he wanted to say. His eyes turned to his best friend in agony, as though somehow Sirius might have the answers. “Padfoot, I want to kill him. I have to kill him.”
“I know, Prongs…” Sirius responded, empathetic. He didn’t say he’s already dead.
James felt out of control in his body, his arms numb, his chest ice, his lungs beating against his ribcage. He wondered if he’d ever breathe normally again, how he could ever learn to hold this knowledge in his cells without combusting it. How did she do it? How did she walk around every day with this history, with this knowledge, how did she—
He was going to be sick.
Every time he touched her, is this what she felt? Is this what she thought of? James wanted to scratch his insides out, he wanted to—needed to—to, to, to….
What could he do? What could he even do? The Lily he wanted to save was years in the past, he couldn’t reach her, couldn’t get to that moment and murder the dead man.
“I’m going to kill—someone! Something! I have to do SOMETHING, Sirius, I—I can’t—,” he looked at Sirius, hands in his hair, tugging so hard it was making his eyes water. He couldn’t breathe. He had to breathe. He was such a selfish fuck for even reacting like this, it was her pain, her story, what did he deserve to feel this sick over it? It was just—how could he touch her again, without thinking about it? How could he… It was always between them. Forever. Because that fucking man—
“Alright, alright, James, look at me,” Sirius told him, and James turned to him desperately. “Let’s…let’s go for a run, alright, as Prongs and Padfoot. Yeah? Let’s just get out of the castle, get away from it all for a bit. Okay?”
James nodded. Sure. Yes. Movement. Anything. Anything to get his mind to stop, to give his hands something to do. He would run. And he would imagine what it would have felt like to ram his antlers into that man’s chest and pull up until his insides came spilling out onto the floor.
“Okay.”

"She was just about to explain that they were never together, that her and Judy were just friends, until a load of memories flooded into her mind."
OR

Dead To Me, S3 thoughts
🍸Spoilers ahead🍸
I was only going to watch one episode and then as soon as we got Judy diagnosis I decided to binge watch it in one sitting. I appreciate being made aware of the bad early so I can prep or speed through it. Am I sad? Yes. Am I glad I got to see my fave bestie wives? Also yes.
Season 3 feels detached from the other two and very clunky, but the reasons why make it a little more bareable. There are parts that could have been dropped and or cleaned up way better on that many if can agree. The policies storylines were just so all over and i didn't really care about them as much as i did previously. Before it felt very tangled into the story as a mystery comedy who dun it, but this one just was like oh wait we have these cops that need to be here too. The focus this season was on Jen and Judy as it should be, but not having the characters able to leave their home without saying why is a bit in your face. Theres a lot of short moments that mean so much stitched together but, nothing that connects any of that to their crimes and the police. Random characters have to make cameos and they can't be done inside a closed space so they are outside for 2 minutes and then we never see them again. Except Jen's co realtor whom I love.
But knowing the reasons it does feel this way makes me go "I'm happy we at least got a final season". It was filmed in the middle of the height of the pandemic when things were shut down but productions were starting to get an idea of how to keep going. Christina was diagnosed with MS a short while into the start of filming and production took a break so she could get some help and everyone figure out the next moce. Also, let's not forget the cancer storyline is heavy as shit and she is a literal cancer survivor. She gave fans what she could instead of saying let's just scrap the show with 2 seasons. None of the gripes about season 3 have anything to do with anyone's acting at all. Everyone did great.
I just do wish at moments that the writing of certain elements had been better and tied loose threads together a bit better. I'm really sad that my fav is......sigh but I can't be livid. People unfortunately get cancer and some people die. Often the good ones and its heartbreaking. It is reality and it sucks and we always wish there had been more time.
That being said i am definitely looking forward to the fix it fanfics because I wish that this is not the reality a literal angel got in a show. I get this is a more realistic ending but I would like happiness for everyone. Happiness for Judy and a chance to be a mom for a 3rd time. They could have spun it to be like heck lots of people downgrade from stage 4 to stage 3 and live quite a few more years if not a long ass time. Them on their trip and the doctor saying it's a miracle, the police throwing out Jen and Judy's files, and then them getting to raise a sweet baby, named in some way after a living angel. In a beautiful home with her moms, brothers, and dad. Maybe end with them all watching one of "Boop's" choral performances, even if it would have been very very cheesy. I think that would have been nice to see.
But, the finale was the best written episode of the entire last season. It felt like season 1 again, even if you don't like the outcome. The comedy, the girls, and their time together.
