i think that sometimes the best thing that you can do is remind yourself that there are beaches. lakes, rivers, and ponds. there are forests. little woods and meadows. there are canyons. gullies and mountain cliffs. there are rainy days. dry spells and scorching blue skies. that the world turns. changes as much as it repeats. that feeling slow today won't stop tomorrow's high tide. won't make july's blackberries any less ripe

HEARTBREAK HIGH (2022 - ) Season 2, Episode 2

like we know missy deserves the light and love of a thousand suns. which is why they had to make her have feelings for spider during his incel era. but honestly i think its such an interesting way of writing her character like. her ability to recognize other peoples suffering and offer them kindness thru it is consistent from s1 and like. no other character could have feasibly done that for spider.

No because I never asked for cash name origin story and I would like to go back to 2.5 seconds ago when I didn’t know that

Two of the things I really enjoyed about heartbreak high that i haven’t seen talked about a lot are

1.) the artistic element of it

i feel like these days a lot of shows are kinda shot/edited/visually displayed as the bare minimum. in fact one of the reasons why i cross-stitch while watching most tv is because i feel like i’m not missing much. it’s either the bare minimum, or it’s very, like…artistically pretentious. like oooh slow shots and the curtain is blue, you just wouldn’t get it.

but with hbh, it’s a very visually appealing show for all the right reasons, from the shots to lighting to expression. two things that come to mind in that are—

1.) the “missy dreams about spider” scene.

in doing that they could have just had her have a regular dream about spider, in any other way—though instead they went with the dark kinda gritty setting, the spy concept with the ropes & the eight-handed spider—it makes sense for how a person might actually dream with all those thoughts in their subconscious, and it just makes a more interesting watch

2.) the “quinni interrogating sasha” scenes.

same as before, they could have played these out in full color, but instead we get the black and white and old film style, immersing the viewer into her world to see how passionately she feels about the investigation

& honestly both of these visual shifts make sense for the overall show since it’s no stranger to darker themes. it has a lot of comedic moments but also a lot of depth that really stands out due to the visual choices

2.) queer characters have storylines not defined by their queerness

screaming crying sliding down the wall, that’s all I’ve wanted since i was in middle school

of course, i know that everything that came before was necessary to get to this point—I’m not going to pretend that the decades of queer history & queer expression in media is pointless because “they could have been doing this the whole time 🤪” ofc not. But i will say, as much as I’ve loved the “figuring out your sexuality/coming out” arc because it leads to more representation, im glad we’ve gotten to this point. That element is still there ofc (ex: malakai and the hot dogs scene lol), it just feels a lot more “let’s cut to the chase there’s bigger fish to fry” which just feels a lot more inviting and interesting and, well, provides more depth to the show.

loving the influx of bisexuals that are evil and that has nothing to do with their sexuality. finally…some evil fucking cunts that also kiss everyone on the side!!!

the way all this mess and uproar really could’ve been avoided with a damn youtube poll 😭
