Bellarke & Writing

im sorry but you literally can’t have your male lead give your female lead a nickname like “princess”, have the mocking resentment and hatred that this annoyingly endearing nickname came with give way to respect and reliance and constant, soft-as-all-hell heart eyes and smiles, have the dude believe his gal pal to be dead and then proceed to dO EVERYTHING IN THE NAME OF HONORING HER SACRIFICE (while she- alive- refuses to believe her mans did anything other than survive and calls him every. day. for six years), and then set the two of them up to basically raise two children together ONLY TO SAY that u want to explore writing male and female leads platonically. it’s toO LATE, BUDDY!! its alREADY ROMANTIC!! YOU DID THIS!! the only course of action that makes sense, narrative wise, is for them to end up together. ……the prosecution rests

Jason Rothenberg is a man ahead of his time. Years from now, centuries from now, people are going to rediscover his work and truly appreciate, understand and comprehend his supreme, cryptic, deep, profound art that we, as his contemporaries, are too small minded and incapable to interpret correctly. His work is so beautifully done, so mystical and clever that not only his viewers but also the actors (!!!) that work for him have not been able to understand it. We do not deserve this genius, brilliant, misunderstood man.
