The Best People in Life are Free

If you remember being a teenager you're a creep because you straight up saw yourself naked back then. The only way to be righteous is to obliterate your mind with drugs until you can't remember anything

It's the Joyce and Jonathan of it all that really bugs me. I wasn't expecting that relationship to get any attention, let alone quality writing, but it really feels like they went out of their way to make it even worse. Joyce defending Jonathan for half a second in the first episode ("It's not always Jonathan's fault!") and the last (the thing with the light diffusion) are what we're left clinging to. I really just can't reconcile S1 Joyce with the utter failure of S5 Joyce. Meanwhile, there's Jonathan, not complaining, accepting the situation for what it is and, in the end, getting the fuck out while the getting was good.

That one Mutual who is obviously The Character so now when you see art of said Character you also see Beloved Mutual

It's a bummer that the writing sucked and their story wasn't given its due, but I still can't take the Jancy breakup seriously. It just really felt so inconsequential and contrived and baffling that it's hard to be moved either way about it. And I don't even necessarily mean all the longing looks or both of them plastering themselves to the other's side or Jonathan repeatedly jumping headlong into danger for Nancy. The epilogue just feels like such a pause. Such an "eat their cake and have it too" ending.

winona having a whole section talking about her relationship with charlie in that 10 year anniversary video once again reminding me of the complex relationship they just dropped after season 1 like okay
