"Letting queer artists be the musical backdrop to a queer love story is going to be a really exciting feature of the season."

Dominant function: Fe Auxiliary function: Si Tertiary function: Ne Inferior function: Ti

Fe (Extroverted Feeling)- Adam is the one in Braverman family that everyone depends on. So much so, that he spreads himself too thin from taking care of everyone. He does all he can to ensure that his son Max has somewhat of a normal life despite his Aspergers diagnosis. He tries to protect Haddie the best he can, despite her keeping her distance from him. He’s constantly on Crosby to be a better person. He fights to keep his parents together after learning that Zeek cheated on Camille. He even tries to fulfill the role of Drew’s dad. When Haddie’s boyfriend Alex gets charges pressed against him, he fights to have his name cleared (and he achieves this).

Si (Introverted Sensing)- He enjoys interacting with the world through his senses. His favorite thing in life is watching his loved ones grow and mold into amazing human beings. He values tradition, putting Max in baseball like he and his siblings were. He is realistic, calling out Crosby when he’s acting immature. He is very observant and remembers things about others. He stated that he fell in love with Kristina while eating cheese fries. He has a hard time accepting change. He has the hardest time letting go of Haddie as she grows up.

Ne (Extroverted Intuition)- Adam can see the possibilities of a situation, making him the best person to seek advice from. When Crosby becomes a father of a baby girl and is insecure about it, he asks “What if I don’t feel a connection?” and Adam says, “You will.” He can be insightful and perceptive shown when Zeek confides in him about Camille, “A wise man once told me we always have to forgive each other and not to get hung up on the past.”

Ti (Introverted Thinking)- When Adam has to think logically about situations he makes poor decisions. After Max loses his behavior technician he copes by taking Max further out of his routine, allowing him to skip school and attend a fair. There’s no surprise that this backfired on him. He has a hard time accepting Max’s diagnosis and is in denial for a while. 

Ha grew up loving the classic fairy tale (and A Cinderella Story, the 2004 romcom starring Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray—she jokes that Benedict’s masquerade ball outfit is a nod to the Zorro costume in the film). “Cinderella is my favorite princess,” she says. “When I was younger, I had this pink tutu dress with her face on it, and I would ask my mom if I could wear it every day.” Cinderella’s narrative appeals, she says, because of the “escapism of feeling seen at first sight by someone. You don’t see their class. He just sees this beautiful woman, and she sees this charming prince. People will dream of that fairytale love.” Bridgerton’s take is a little more real, though: “It’s not all glitz and glamour. It’s not as easy as people make it out to be. We dive a little bit deeper, with more of the realness of what it is to actually fall in love with someone at first sight.”

“It’s actually quite Shakespearean,” says Thompson. “You have to take it in a more metaphorical sense, which is what’s interesting. Why doesn’t he recognize her? It says something about this character that he can’t quite connect fantasy and reality—and maybe, on a subconscious level, Benedict is scared of putting those sides of his life together and actually committing to a relationship.”

“The character of Benedict could be viewed in the wrong hands as a bit of a cad, but because of Luke’s sensitivity, you feel that he’s a person who’s lost, a person who’s looking for meaning in life but hasn’t quite found that yet,” Brownell says. “And Yerin, I really feel like she’s the only person who could play Sophie. She is such an old soul, and you really feel the depth in her and the internal world and the history of her life in her performance. She also has incredible physical comedy and brings a real sense of humor to this maid’s situation, which is grim in certain ways. The pair of them together, it’s just magical.”

Sometimes I wish I never started watching 9-1-1. Then, I never would have met Bobby or Athena or Bathena and I wouldn’t still be angry they were taken away from me.

Athena practically on Bobby’s lap, the shirt grab, and that hand on his chest 🙂‍↔️ i love for these details (even though the ship arc was a little 😶‍🌫️)
