Wake Up And Still Dream.

After all this… how Conrad left to California, staying away for years, didn’t think Belly still loves him until 3x08… he still loved her without thinking she loved him. He admitted that he FOUGHT his feelings for her because he was scared of them. This is not someone painted to love someone only because she loves him… he would abuse that but in reality he was afraid of breaking his friendship let alone admitting his feelings for her and that was perfectly shown without the confirmation in 3x11.

We’ve seen both Jeremiah and Belly do that as well. None of them are perfect and none of them are the villain. They are people who love, grieve, make mistakes, and grow. That’s the STORY.

I am so tired of the false narrative people put on Conrad because they didn’t get what they want or call it lazy writing. I get that’s your opinion and you don’t need to agree with it, but this is the art of storytelling—-the authors world.

I’m curious if the people actually watch the show and see how Belly, Laurel, Susannah, etc saw how different Conrad was acting that summer—-he wasn’t himself, but what was always part of him was how he didn’t even want to be a burden on anyone. They moms mentioned in season 1 that Conrad broke his arm but wouldn’t tell anyone. That’s an area where he’s working on and still improving on.

By the flashbacks, we’ve seen how much care he has for Belly and in his own will and how belly loved Conrad who he was. They love every version of one another. Conrad is a thoughtful person and I’m tired of seeing the fake of him being selfish, a stalker, etc.
