charley LOVES milk chocolate and won’t eat any other kind—even semi-sweet chocolate chips make him gag a little

yuri LOVES dark chocolate but will eat other types of chocolate. when charley nabs a variety pack of hershey’s kisses from the teacher’s lounge, yuri REFUSES to eat anything but the hugs so he doesn’t steal any of charley’s kisses, especially when charley offers.

rhonda secretly loves how sickly sweet her lollipops taste—so she’s a real sucker for chocolate too, but she doesn’t let herself indulge much. those ghirardelli squares with the raspberry filling are her FAVORITE though.

quinn hasn’t felt anything in the last twenty years, so a chocolate-induced sugar rush is heaven. when they find mr. figueroa’s secret chocolate stash, they stuff a bunch of chocolate bars up their jacket sleeves and make a break for the band room. rhonda almost cries when she watches the raspberry ghirardelli squares fall out of their sleeves.

wally loves milk chocolate, ESPECIALLY the mini m&m’s (which haven’t blessed school grounds since they stopped offering home ec). the guidance counselor keeps a bowl of regular m&m’s on her desk, but wally says it’s just not the same. maddie sneaks three bags of mini m&m’s into her locker on her first day back, and wally actually cries (he loves her so much he nearly feels the magnitude of living pain).

maddie used to love all kinds of chocolate candy—kit-kats, twix, reese’s, milky ways—but now they just remind her of trick-or-treating with her dad, so there’s always a bittersweet aftertaste. wally wins her over with the m&m’s, and she’ll never pass up a chocolate milkshake with simon.

simon is more of a dark chocolate guy, but he won’t refuse any chocolate if offered. chocolate milkshakes are his absolute favorite. they remind him of the day he was adopted, and maddie, of course (white-eyes aside, he’s surprised he could even forget the milkshake incident at her twelfth birthday party).

janet’s grandma used to bake the most delicious chocolate cake for her birthday. nothing ever tastes quite as perfect, but she won’t pass up a hershey’s chocolate bar (especially when she needs a mid-experiment dopamine spike).

dawn LOVES chocolate. all chocolate. any chocolate she finds. dawn, being dawn, knows all of the teacher’s hiding spots. chocolate bars start mysteriously appearing when the ghosts need a pick-me-up. janet gets into a little spat with mr. martin one evening and finds five chocolate bars on top of her notebook.

a lie mr. martin tells the kids: chocolate is too sweet for him. the truth: ralph loved chocolate, and so did alice, and so did his mother, whose smile he can’t recall. stomaching chocolate means stomaching the guilt of their memory, and mr. martin is incapable of doing either.

season one xavier only eats 100% cocoa dark chocolate because it’s extremely bitter and he likes making himself feel miserable (to atone for his sins). after he becomes friends with simon and nicole, xavier finally admits to himself that he’s a lot more than the rebel persona he projects. so, fuck it, fine—he LOVES white chocolate. when he gets home from the hospital, his dad buys him a cookies and cream hershey’s bar for the first time in a decade (and it tastes just as sweet as it had when he was a kid).

claire eats 100% cocoa dark chocolate because she actually prefers the bitter taste (also, she heard about the health benefits on tiktok, but she’s not admitting to that any time soon)

kudos to kristian and peyton because WOW.

i was in tears each time, the bond and connection that simon and maddie have is truly incredible and the best thing about this show.

everything about their reunion was so incredibly special.

we got a short flashback scene, we got maddie giving simon a speech to which he collects himself and realised who she is and who he is.

those two are soulmates to me. like everything was just so beautiful. their bond is so incredibly deep and they love eachother to the ends of the earth and back. the chemistry just everything whew.

Maddie Nears and Simon Elroy

I love this scene because Maddie holding his hand with both hands and when she lets go with one hand for literally half a second, she immediately grabs his hand with both again. She cannot stop holding on to him now that she can, and shes so worried that she won't let go until she knows he's safe

Look at how tightly she holds onto him!!!

She is SO happy to be able to hold him again and know that he's safe. There is a fire about to KILL everyone in the school, but they cling to each other and do not rush to help at all, because they're together and safe and thats all that matters in this moment.
