DERRY GIRLS SPOILERS AHEAD
I was sat thinking about Gerry on the phone and I realized Deirdre (Michelle's mum) might've been the one to ring him as she's a nurse in the hospital and I doubt Geraldine (Claire's mum) was in any state to make that phonecall. Ma Mary and Aunt Sarah walked with Geraldine at the funeral but Deirdre walked with Granda Joe behind them probably because she felt she'd only upset Geraldine as the hospital could do nothing for Sean - AW FUCK HOW DID I MAKE AN ALREADY HEARTBREAKING EPISODE HURT MORE

Thinking about how in 3x05, we had Sean and Geraldine talking about how they've felt since Clare came out, how they worry about her because it might make things difficult, but also seem genuinely supportive of her and hope that as she becomes more comfortable in herself, more "established," as Geraldine puts it, that she'll have a good future...
...And then thinking about how much Clare would've been buzzing to tell them about Laurie, how she was probably gonna go home after the concert and excitedly tell them what happened, and then within less than a minute of her leaving the hall, what should've been the best night of her life turns into the worst. And yeah, she could probably still tell Geraldine what happened, but that's gotta be the last thing on her mind for the foreseeable future.
Just, God, this fucking episode. The more I think about it the more it Gets to me.

Great episode. The teen versions of the parents had their counterparts (and daughters!) idiosyncrasies spot on, e.g.
- Deirdre being “punk” and causing trouble (Michelle)
- Mary’s facial expressions and brass attitude (Erin)
- Sarah’s random comments and tagging along for the ride (Orla)
- Geraldine’s strict composure and panicking (Clare)
- We even got a wee American Canadian fella who couldn’t sit with the lads because they’d beat him up (James!) 😂

Jeanette Joyce formally O’Shea used to be mates with Mary and Sarah and she’s Jenny’s mammy lol
What happened on leavers night 20 years ago?
All the husbands are wearing the same blue suits that were on sale from Dunnes for the school reunion. And Michelle’s ma brought her Canadian cousin Rob.

I just finished watching Derry Girls and I can honestly say I think it's one of the greatest shows ever. No, fr. The jokes, the sad moments, the songs, the all the wonders of the teen show in the 90s and the overall vibe.. like it's just 20/10. I am literally so amazed. I cried my eyes out at the ending because it was so good and hopeful and happy and amazing and immaculate.
Erin, Orla, Clare, Michelle and James goodbye
I'll always love you.

So, I love how accepting and supportive Clare’s parents are of her being a lesbian, but “seriously?! Our daughter’s A Gay™ too!” was delivered with such perfect comedic timing by David Ireland, it makes me cackle with laughter every time I watch it. 
Honestly, it was nice to see Catholic parents on TV who aren’t those hypocritical dickheads who make their kids feel like crap because of their sexuality. I know there’s unfortunately quite a lot of Catholics who are like that, but we’re not all like that. So, good on you, Sean and Geraldine Devlin <3
(And yes, Granda Joe’s excitement about meeting another Gay™ was hilarious and wonderful too)

Thinking about the final scene of the special again, but specifically in comparison to the end of the very first episode. Because that also ended with the five mains, Mary, Sarah, Gerry, Joe, Anna, Dierdre and one of Clare's parents all gathered in one place for one purpose, too.
But, in the first episode, nobody wanted to be there. They were there because the gang fucked up their detention so badly they looked guilty of killing someone. And now, they're there by choice, making one of the most important political decisions they may ever face. Before, the gang were children to be dealt with and talked over and blamed. Now, they're young adults, their voices heard, their right to speak up finally being taken seriously.
And none of them are the same, either. Erin isn't a brash, showy kid desperate to grow up, frantically writing down everything, however inane, frantically chasing boys who don't care about her. She's a young woman who, after saying one of her most profound speeches, says she'll maybe write it down, who's found someone willing to take his time, who'll challenge her to improve without compelling her to change.
James isn't that confused fish out of water that stepped off the bus, reeling from being dropped into Derry by his mother. He's grown more confident, learned to take things in stride, and grown secure enough in the Irish side of his identity that he feels like he can vote in the Referendum, like he's not just the wee English fella anymore, and he's allowed a say in what happens to the place he calls home.
Clare's no longer the anxious, closeted girl who doesn't want to be an individual on her own. She's out and proud, and, as it turns out, every bit as capable of causing mischief as any of the others under the right circumstances.
And that's not even getting to the adults. Mary's not an overworked stay at home mother anymore, she's a student pursuing an exciting new academic journey. Gerry's become more assertive, especially with Joe. Joe has watched his granddaughters grow, and has proven he's as dedicated to their happiness as he is to that of his daughters time and again, and has shown that for all he's an old man, he's no less open to ideas and accepting of others (just maybe not Gerry, but that seems almost out of habit at this point).
We know now that Dierdre isn't just Michelle's mum- she's the former punk that Michelle got her wild streak from, sure, but she's also the mother of one of the prisoners facing release if the nation votes yes. She's got more skin in this game than most of the other adults we see voting, with far more to consider in this scene than just how best to tell her nephew his mother's ran off without him. And, of course, the biggest change to the adults present in this scene- Geraldine is here instead of Sean. This is another moment he wasn't here to see, to be part of.
And I feel like I can’t make a post about the changes from the start of the show to the end, without mentioning wee Anna. When the show started, she was a baby, being carried around by Joe and her parents. And now she's a little girl, standing on her own two feet, walking into the future. She's gonna grow up to be one of the weans for whom the Troubles will be nothing but a ghost story, and that starts here, in the final scene of the special, with her granda excitedly showing her a piece of paper she's too little to fully understand the meaning of, covered in words she can't even read, but that are gonna make it so the stories her big sister and her parents and the rest of her family tell will be just that, stories.
They've all come such a long way from that first episode, and it makes me emotional.

I need some help if anyone can give it.
I’m making some playlists for various characters and relationships on the show but I’ve hit a brick wall at the moment, when it comes to naming some of them. If you have any suggestions on what I should name them, I am all ears!
The playlists in question are for:
James Maguire (that’s not The Wee English Fella but if there’s nothing else, I’ll go with it)
Orla McCool
Mary Quinn/Wee Mary McCool
Sarah McCool/Wee Sarah McCool
Gerry Quinn
Joe McCool
Deidre Mallon/Wee Deidre Maguire
Geraldine Devlin/Wee Garaldine
Sister Michael
James & Michelle (their relationship)
Erin & Orla (their relationship)
I’ve already done ones for Clare and Erin & James but if there’s anyone I haven’t listed above you’d like a playlist done for, then just ask and I’ll (try and) make one!
(Gif is just here for fun. 💛)

Do you ever think about how Geraldine was voicing her concern about Clare becoming a little degenerate and how we all laughed bc Clare is the Good One of the group?
And then in the finale she fought a small child and admitted it with no regret or remorse.
