Hii! You obviously love billy and camila (me too) but im curious about yous opinions on daisy and billydaisy (show and book). Could you tell me?

hi anon 🧡 I'll keep it under read more, because I feel like I should not go here anymore 🙃 (also I have reblogged and posted a few thoughts about what happened in the show, that can complete this)

but in the book I have to say that I was pretty indifferent to daisy, I thought she was a good character (well written and rounded), but she wasn't my type of character, so there was other things that I liked more and actually got me through the whole book, because I was not a big fan of how its written hsjshsjsjhd In the show this got worse because I feel like they gave us a polished version of daisy, so they don't reach book!daisy and at the same they don't create something new (kinda like it happens with billy). To me it felt like they were constantly trying bring book!daisy to life, but failing because they were also trying to make her more likeable and aesthetically memorable. And I also think that sometimes riley's acting is too soft and calm and that + the writing made me very apathetic to her scenes, so a lot of times I was like this 😐😐 watching what was supposed to be big moments of the character – like the pool scene, the 'I'm not a muse' moment or her last scene with camila – because they didn't made me feel anything,,, different from the book when a lot of times I felt for her.

show!daisybilly I just hate. in the book they annoyed me a lot when they were fighting and when they were making everyone's lives a nightmare, on the show, not even that they were able to provoke on me (also the show made me side with billy a lot of times, when in the book I thought he was worse than her). I didn't like what they were doing to camila (who was my fav in the book), but there were moments when I hurted for them and my heart got very heavy thinking about what these three characters were going through and how sad all of this was for them. My otp was camilabilly, but daisybilly didn't bothered me like they did in the show. to me the love triangle was a good study in emotions, what love should bring to your life and what ifs.

I haaaate what they did to Billy's character, and besides the bad changes that didn't help his character, his writing in the show was sooo inconsistent, it felt like we were constantly getting two very different billys. and I hate that daisy, a lot of the time, looked like a winny, jealous other woman. The love triangle lost all the nuance and turned into something that we saw multiple times on older tv shows. Idk it feels like the producers looked at the book with a shipper gaze and instead of adapting the stories in there, they wanted to prop their favorite couples and make them something bigger than they were in the book (karengraham also suffered with this, but in a different way).

to me djats was not a romantic book, and love in the story is very bittersweet, because it hurts in the same way that it makes you happy (sometimes more) and in the show it's like "omg look how they are made to be together!!!!!", and an example of it it's that in the book the ending is open, you choose if they made contact or not, and in the show they made sure we saw them meeting again.
