crazy insane that buck asked tommy to move into that loft with him in 8a and is now getting rid of that same loft in 8b to move into eddie’s house. one was an attempt to force love into existence. and the other was an actual act of love. and i think we all know which was which.

[vampetal]

can we also talk about how this was an absolutely insane thing to have them say

[vampetal]

so like.. my head is spinning 🫠

*whispers* they’re getting closer 👀

LUCAS JOHNSON YOU IDGAF FAKER I SAW YOU VISIBLY REEVALUATE EVERYTHING WHEN YOU REALIZED YOU WERE WRONG. I SAW YOU TRY TO FIGHT YOUR OWN BROTHER TO PROTECT JEAN WHEN YOU REALIZE THE SITUATION WAS OUT OF HAND. I SAW YOU FEEL BAD FOR YOUR ACTIONS. I SAW YOU NOT IDOLIZED YOUR BROTHER AFTER HE DIED BECAUSE YOU KNEW WHAT HE HAD DONE. I SAW YOU BE CONCERNED WHEN YOU REALIZED JEAN WAS YOUNGER THAN YOU. I SAW YOU RUN TO COACH RHEMANN AND TELL HIM ZANE IS ATTACKING JEAN. YOU CARE SO MUCH.

I thought that Jeremy couldn't be an addict because that would make him "too much of a fox" and the trojans didn't have criminal or public, stigmatised problems but in actuality I think it's a great way to explore how wealth defines these labels. The foxes are constantly maligned for being problem cases but Jeremy is the captain of the trojans because of blatant bribery and abuse of power. Jeremy suffers horrific consequences for his actions, in the form of homophobia, shame, guilt, emotional and fincancial abuse and control. But he is able to avoid the worst practical consequences (serious jail time, let alone suspension from school, loss of his Exy career) because of his parents influence and wealth. He is able to get clean because of their wealth. Whereas the foxes are 'junkies and criminals' for their entire career and are only allowed a shot at a better life if they're lucky because Wymack puts his neck out for them. I think it's genius to have us guess and wait for book two because it emphasises this disparity.
