I’m curious about your thoughts on Vanessa and Jonathon’s interactions? Of the entire society, those two seem to interact the least on screen.
Heyyyy!!!! This is such an interesting pairing and I already covered tjem in this post but on the point that they interact the least on screen I do find this very interesting when it comes to the moments they DO interact. This is just gonna be based on my memory so I apologise but…
Harper’s Locket = In my head them playing the staff at the house was a real bonding experience for them and I feel like these two are the sorts of people who really like to talk about the characters they play. So I like to think these two made up whole backstories for their characters and had a bunch of fun (mainly filling the dead time they had in the scenes they weren’t involved in during rehearsals). Also when the ceiling fan falls I really like that Jonathan jumps to actions be goes to grab it because he is literally being in character. He only does it because everyone is yelling SMYTHE at him and I feel like he and Vanessa both relate to each other on really loving to inhabit roles because they have some issues with their self confidence. So playing confident characters is a wonderful bout of escapism for them both. Also when Trevor fucking dies they are the characters left in the room wuth him and I adore that you can see them in the background like trying to revive him a lil and Canessa covers his arse by standing in front of it when the cameras on it at the end. Like these two don’t respond great in a crisis but they are trying <3333 my favourite two disasters ❤️
The Most Lamentable = THESE TWO ARE SO GOOD IN THIS. Again these two beyond anyone else love commiting tp the script because they both rely on it for their self esteem (who said that-) so of course it was these two persevering through that god awful tongue kiss hahahhahahaha also again Canessa trying to be helpful and adjusting where he is walking and being helpful because my guy can’t see shit in that costume. I also love that she doesn’t yell at him but does yell at Dennis that episode because Vanessa has a clear distinction of someone who is trying their very hardest to stay on script despite the odds and someone who doesn’t even know the script!!! It is the worst crime and the greatest stress in her books and it really shows in this contrast. Either way I feel like the traitorous queen and brother of the king is such a good dynamic for these two to attempt to do because it’s so Not Them. Like the two most harmless members, the one who above all want to stay out of trouble and try their best not to cause any. Love tjem.
I feel like these two must ahve some subtle interactions in the festival but I am blanking so bad (I guess I’ll need to rewatch it 😈) but yeah I think these are the big ones. Yeah they really don’t have much but it’s a good thing I’m a maniac 😀 give me the smallest scraps and I will create a world!!! Literally grabbing your hand gently and asking you to come on a journey wuth me where I show you my greatest delusions. These two are one of those delusions I love them so much and their non-existent dynamics (which I did not let effect that certain Christmas fic I wrote that one time TRUUUST)
Anyhoo thats enough from me, thank you so much for the ask. I hope this have something a bit different from the forst Jonessa ask. Thanks for sitting through the yap :D I really appreciate it!!
