Eagerly awaiting your reaction to episode 3 šš
ask and you shall receive! (iām not actually waiting for people to ask dw, it was just good timing ahahah)
prefacing this with flatmate and i deciding to watch it and saying at the same time to each other āiām scaredā š¤”
(alsoooo i may have had erikās death spoiled - i didnāt know when or how, but i quickly realised that it was coming when wille got called into the office, so im afraid im robbing you of that big reaction, SORRY)
after heart-eyeing the screen for !!wille and simon basically giggling at each other during the choir!! and !!let me teach you sheet music!! and then honestly laughing so much at the chaos of wille saying to forget about it only to literally the day after realise he canāt (obsessing over how accurately babygay that is š„¹)
i then proceeded to write one whole note whilst watching:
iāve been icked out for about 15 mins straight
^this was at the parents cause Oh My God Get Them All To Therapy Immediately. and maybe tax them just a bit.
but then wille being the fucking cutest ever with simonās mum šš
also. i see now that august is truly and fully getting his own story line, and i am concerned. the pain in his mothers eyes in that scene??? and just the whole āmy family are brokeā except he could easily sell his assets he just doesnāt want to loose the status AHH
actor geek moment again, i just want to mention how ive literally just come back from a day long workshop with a director and one of the things that we talked about that resonated with me was about how when you play a villain actors often have the tendency to try to sympathise with the character. the director said how thatās often boring and that what often really resonates is to bring out empathy with the audience- make them see the human in the bad decisions, and understanding even if itās uncomfortable to admit. and august in that scene was so that for me!!! like what a dick!! but fuck? i get it? kinda?
and simon disappointing his friends :(( they didnāt get it clearly. and thatās so valid tbh
(a slight ick though at ayub waiting for simon to speak only to say āi donāt wanna hear itā and rushing offā¦interesting directing choices but ill forgive it in light of the rest of it being genius so far)
also i spent this entire episode expecting the fish tank scene and it was nowhere to be seen??? my spoiler knowledge is clearly false/i have terrible memory for numbers
these are my thoughts, i canāt believe ep3 is halfway through s1, itās felt like ive only just started and now somehow im in the thick of it?
and finally, to any new yr followers, apologies and also please enjoy the influx of san remo content on my blog- if you donāt know it, itās a italian song contest, i lived in italy for two years and have accepted it as part of my culture. iām afraid there is no way around this. (literally as im posting this mahmood premiered his new single im going insane if you donāt know him go find out especially if you like omarās music i reckon youād like this)
k im done bye thanks for reading xx
