The Children’s Guide to Funerals: Lessons from Mr. Bradley
I am reposting an old post from September 23, 2014
Mr. Bradley died!! Mr. Bradley died!!
This was unbelievable! I had seen people get shot on “Gunsmoke,” but I’d never known anyone who had actually died. I knew I was supposed to cry when someone died but I couldn’t manage it. First of all, Mr. Bradley was an old grouch. He wore khaki pants and shirt and an old gray felt hat with oil stains…
Jean going from the Ravens calling him a whore (derogatory) to being a part of the Floozies (positive) which also means whore is driving me UP THE WALL
Jean celebrating a win with a sharp grin and a fist pump, Jean failing to repress a chuckle at Cat and Laila getting in a pillow fight, Jean looking calmer and more relaxed after a good run, Jean smiling into Jeremy’s kiss. Jeremy is cooked.
Okay, okay, hear me out: TSC2, Jean gets more settled in and comfortable with the floozy line. What happened to him was fucked but he slow starts to heal with their support.
Later in the year someone, probably a Raven, calls Jean a whore and he just smiles and says, "I prefer floozy, actually."
Okay I love menace Neil and seeing Andreil cameos but are missing the best part…. JEAN ON A MOTORCYCLE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF HIM LEARNING TO DRIVE ONE. And just Laila and Cat all together, I love them with all my heart I need Cats backstory, she knew to get Jean out. I have so much more to say, JEAN IS SO RUTHLESS AND A ASSHOLE, he is so sassy I love him so much
i'll never be over this, just fyi. miles saw that booty and he just had to grab it goooood, nevermind that they were on stage in front of hundreds of people 💀 (via turnered_on on ig)
Someone on the floozy line (I'm not particular about who, but probably one of the girls cause otherwise Jean may not be comfortable with it) realizes that Jean enjoys getting gifts and also that Jean refuses to eat anything outside of a strict diet and decides to bring Jean a little treat before each game.
I picture Ananya dashing through the locker room before a game and placing a single wrapped candy in Jean's hand and telling him it's for good luck and then running off to get ready herself.
Jean is rather attached to acts of kindness and routine, so he'd get used to this interaction quickly and start to enjoy seeing what new candy she brings him each time.
Satine: Extremists can ALWAYS be reasoned with and anyone who believes otherwise is an extremist themselves!
Things currently happening to Satine:
Extremist group on Mandalore revealed themselves to be totally lying about having been reasoned with for TWENTY YEARS and Satine had no idea
Extremist group on Mandalore is actively trying to murder her
Extremist group on Mandalore is working with the Separatists in order to force Mandalore out of neutrality in the war
Extremist group on Mandalore infiltrated her own government in multiple areas and she had no idea and they're now about to blow up the ship she's on after murdering multiple of the clones on board
Things Satine is doing about her situation:
Never once attempts to reason with the extremist group on Mandalore
Ignores it until the extremists attack her planet with an organized crime mob and she immediately rolls over and surrenders to them
But sure. Extremists can totally always be reasoned with, that's a good strategy for her to have that definitely doesn't completely blow up in her face.
