So Yeah

Is it just me or is Bobby shining more this season? I’ve only watched the first four episodes of the new season but so far, I’m really glad I’m seeing more of Bobby and how he personally connects with the heroes.

It’s been a while since I watched the previous seasons, but the most I remember of seeibg Bobby clearly shine was with renovating Tammye’s church while managing his past with religion and with renovating and designing Wesley’s house -this one clearly demonstrated what it really means to make a home accommodate a hero.

But this season, I’m glad that the audience gets to see more of Bobby’s involvement, which I think was always unseen because there’s so much footage to use, little time to cut it into, and the amount of entertainment and nuance a scene with selecting furniture pieces and designing a home could bring.

I’m glad that Bobby was given more closure with his past by getting an apology by someone who represents a church and how he was able to personally connect and help Tyreek with managing money after being homeless and making a home for him that he could call his own and he comfortable in. I’m hoping that the producers asked Bobby how comfortable he would be working with a church again before making Pastor Noah a hero (Which is something they should have considered before that insensitive “prank” they pulled on Karamo).

Overall, I’m hopping to see way more of Bobby and his contributions shine more for the rest of this season and the next.

The Prophecy is fulfilled

i'm not gonna lie i've always leaned into my headcanon that sally, and therefore percy, was of latin american descent. but after seeing walker scobell in the Adam Project i can really see him doing a great job in this role! his comedic timing is fantastic and he has an air of maturity for his age, plus i've seen that he's been a pjo fan for a while, which is always great!

bottom line is he's a kid who just got cast in probably one of the next iconic roles of the decade, it's a big opportunity with a lot of pressure. i hope that everyone supports him accordingly, and that his experience with the project is positive. so exciting!!

relates to 1 step forward, 3 steps back and enough for you except for not with an ex but with mommy issues

okay but can i just say another thing with nick ... he literally shows no interest julie, like pretty much doesn’t know she exists, until she becomes “interesting”. like it isn’t until she performs bright with the band and stuff that he suddenly likes her. like it took her having to have a band and be cool and semi popular for him to have interest in her ... like - doesn’t paint a great narrative there ...

anon you are so right!!!! and okay, i fell asleep thinking about this actually ghfjd because from what we know about nick, he's been dating carrie for a while and has never once shown interest in julie. but the second someone else obviously likes her (ie. you'd have to be blind to not see the way luke looks at her) and she suddenly becomes interesting, with the chance of being popular that he 'finally' realises carrie is not a good person?? hm seems a little sus to me. (not to mention this is all happening after her mum died and we can assume carrie has been making catty comments about that to julie for a year, but he just. didnt have a problem with that before the band??)

plus, at the end of the season when he shows up at julie's house with flowers, after she's told him she's not interested? thats always given me odd vibes. because we know they're not like, friends-friends, and if he just wanted to congratulate her he coulda just sent a text, or waited for school. but instead he shows up at her house uninvited? idk man i just find it a little weird.

AND to add on to this luke has like, lowkey fuckboy vibes from the way he dresses but he's actually very sweet? but i fully believe that nick will actually be a fuckboy, and not really care about who's heart he's breaking

Did I make an American Vandal vine compilation? Maybe. Is it the greatest thing I’ve ever done? Probably

rb if you love julie molina, are lgbtq, are neurodivergent, or are angry at netflix for not renewing your comfort show

no one will know which one :)

Watching Heartstopper has made me realize that we’re trained to expect that the other shoe will somehow drop in queer media. That something terrible is just going to happen. (Someone gets outed or worse)

And Heartstopper presented us with an opportunity to create queer media without NEEDING for something terrible to happen. Honestly, it was refreshing. I’d like to see more content like this.

I can’t explain how much I love Julie and the Phantoms. Like it filled the Trollhunters/Wizards hole in my heart from last month, which is only worth mentioning because I was crying for days.

I need it to be renewed ASAP!!!

Please watch this incredible show, it’s got literally everything I would want in a show targeted towards kids (spoilers):

No douche-y or toxic masculine traits in the main male characters. I half expected the guys to be the typical bros when I started watching (since I decided to watch after 5 seconds into the trailer), but they weren’t and instead so adorable and supportive of each other.

A rival character that wasn’t villainized with her femininity. I really appreciated how Carrie was more than your typical rival/ex-best friend/ popular girl because that character is usually untalented/has bad songs (which doesn’t make sense given why she’s popular), only hates the main character out of jealousy and insecurity, and is very feminine to juxtapose the main. Instead, Carrie is seen as talented and no one mocks her more bubblegum pop music that a rock band could easily make fun of (but the band doesn’t and even dances along to it), and mentions how she’s worked hard on her music and choreography. 

The lgbt+ rep. I will admit, as much as I was excited that Alex has 1) gay and 2) out and 3) not one, present, had a problem with it, I was a little sad because he’s a ghost and I thought we would never see a gay love story for him as a ghost. Boy, was I wrong! I knew instantly that Alex was going too be awed by Willie with that slo-mo shot of him taking off his helmet. And then there were so many moments where I was thinking “Now, kiss” because of how close and intense they were.

Latinx rep. Having poc in lead roles is so important to me and I was excited and surprised that both female lead and her best friend were poc, instead of one of them being white. I loved that because it also means that their families will be poc. I will admit, I think it would also be great of the guys were less white, but I think the cast is great.

Incredible music. I told myself to finish watching before looking up the soundtrack and listening to it, but I couldn’t help myself.

Amazing outfits. Well, most of Julie and Flynn’s outfits and most of the bands’. I think my favorite of Julie’s in the camo jumpsuit from the 2/3 episode with her hair up, it was a nice transition from the more comfortable, passive outfit from the first episode to her fighting for her spot in the music program. (also, is anybody else confused by her school’s music program? my hs was a creative/performing arts hs and you literally had to apply as one of the majors, so being removed from yours would probably mean being kicked out)

Thank you if you read this unnecessary long rant about my new favorite show.
