Pierre-Joseph Redote’s engraved and painted flowers + folklore lyrics

‘kay i guess it’s time to share my interpretation of betty bc the straights are causing a ruckus. james is not a boy and james did not cheat. james is a teenage lesbian whomst is secretly in love with her best friend, betty. (obviously the angsty secret feelings are hella mutual) james is too scared to shoot her shot with betty, but they’re really starting to connect and they’re on the brink of something romantic. then the dance rolls around. james shows up with her high heels on cobblestone, psyching herself up to ask betty to dance, to make a move. but then she sees betty dancing with some guy and, understandably, she’s hurt and heartbroken. she leaves the dance feeling the embarrassment and hopelessness of being in love with a girl who you think has chosen a dumb boy over you. as she’s walking home, her friend “august” pulls up and offers james a ride and a talk. they bond over james’s failed crush on betty and become really close really fast. “those days turned into nights” implies that the intentions weren’t originally romantic, but when you’re gay and young and trying to bury feelings for a girl who likes someone else…..things happen, you know i mean? days do indeed turn into nights. when betty hears - from inez, the untrustworthy dramastarter who actually has a heart of gold in there somewhere - that james is gettin it on with august, she’s now feeling how james was at the dance. james is ghosting her and there’s this huge misunderstanding. it’s an acutely sapphic mess. james daydreaming about apologizing to betty is literally as gay as it gets. “would you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends?!” is saying, will you love me enough to be brave? to proudly be with me, even though it might mean losing some homophobic, small minded people you’re close to?

james isn’t saying “betty, i cheated on you, lol sry…wanna makeout?” it’s james saying “betty, i love you. for a long time i was scared of that and of telling you how i felt. i hurt you with my dishonesty and my silence. i made you question our relationship and yourself because i didn’t have the courage to tell you this before. i’m sorry that i spent the summer with another girl. i thought i could make those feelings go away, but you can’t seem to stop taking my breath away. will you please give me a second chance? this time i’ll be braver. i swear it, betty. but if i ruined it forever, if you need to tell me to go f*ck myself…i’ll respect that, too.”
