The family's reaction to Belly and Jeremiah's engagement was so heartwarming <3 I'm glad we all hate it together

what people need to realize is there's a difference between making one side of a love triangle look bad through character assassination, which is a lazy writing choice and a cop-out, and making that side of the love triangle what they were always built up to be. like, people accept that gale wasn't right for katniss and that his decisions in mockingjay were just further proof of this. you don't see a lot of people getting mad about this or calling it character assassination.

but in the summer i turned pretty, jenny han builds up all the ways jere and belly wouldn't be compatible in a romantic relationship, she contrasts the way jere doesn't take things seriously with the way belly and conrad both do (like the volleyball tournament in the show and the game of chicken in the book), and it all comes to a fruition in the third book/season, yet i'm seeing people say the only way jenny could make bellyconrad work was by ruining jere's character. jere is the character he was always built up to be, and so is conrad! when we first meet conrad, we're told over and over about how he's acting differently this summer, how this isn't him, and we see him in all these flashbacks being really sweet, and now that he's had time to work on himself and work through his issues in therapy, he's able to be that conrad again that belly used to know.

this isn't the writers suddenly making conrad the better person and destroying jere for the sake of bellyconrad. this is both of them being consistent with how they were already written; people just chose to believe in a version of the story where jere is the sweet golden wonderful brother and conrad is the toxic brooding mean brother, and the story is drawing the curtain of that illusion back.

Fiyeraba parallels (3/?) ━ The poppy = being asleep & being asleep = ignoring the truth

Throughout the movie, and especially in the scenes with Elphaba and Fiyero, the theme of sleep is being tied to the poppies. The poppies are used in the spell cast by Elphaba to put the others to sleep, but Fiyero, who claims earlier that he is either "running amuck" or "sometimes is asleep" remains awake. He questions why this is too, and Elphaba doesn't really know the answer to that either. However with the theme of sleep and the poppies tied together later with finding out the truth (about the Wizard, and what's happening to the Animals) it is clear that the reason why Fiyero did not fall asleep was because similar to Elphaba, once he realized the problem, he couldn't ignore it anymore. "He started thinking." Similarly, Elphaba is so close to getting what she wanted, but she "can't want it anymore" because she woke up to the fact that it's all a lie, and she needs to take action. At this point, Elphaba and Fiyero already rescued the lion cub together, and while Elphaba put the students to sleep there, it was Fiyero who knew how to act, despite Elphaba calling out "what are you doing" he just jumped into action, trusting his instincts without hesitation, but he needed Elphaba to almost literally open his eyes. But Elphaba learned to trust her instincts from Fiyero. And she uses what she's learned from him to invite Glinda along as well, hoping Glinda will join her, just like she promised. Glinda however breaks her promise, despite giving ger word that "she would have helped" Elphaba with the lion cub if she was asked. Glinda feels that she has to stay behind. As for Fiyero and Elphaba, netiher of them can go back to sleep anymore and aside from the fact that this parallels and complements their arcs very nicely, it also sets them on their somewhat doomed conclusions for the second half of the story.
