#anywaaaay i should stop rambling

[kim-ruzek]

You know, as much as I have issues with the writing and decisions made in the one chicago universe, I really really really love and respect the fact that in both cpd and cf when the actress of one half of their main ship left, the writers slowly and realistically built up the guy's next romance.

Like I've mentioned my thoughts on upstead before, but I do really love the producers decision to slow burn them, as it's made their relationship so realistic and well built up. And brettsey, I adore brettsey-- primarily bc my girl Sylvie deserves the world-- and that's because I love how they've been building to them. Like I really love how they developed them naturally from how they saw each other when dawson was around and how their relationship adapted and grew when she left.

I think especially why I love the writing choices with this is because both matt and jay's previous relationship ended in a really bad way so having both develop their next romance so naturally and realistic instead of just, idk, shoving them into a new endgame relationship after one season makes everything just that little bit more real.

And I just really respect these decisions, because it makes the characters much more real and relatable, and it means the audience can truly fall in love with these relationships not because the show tells you that you have to, but because you can see the mutual respect and love between them-- which hits harder after the toxic previous relationships.

#ree has thoughts #that no one asked for #chicago pd #chicago fire #today apparently I'm in a loving mood towards oc writers #these rambling thoughts just came bc i was watching home #and the lil scene where hailey puts her hand on jays shoulder and then removes it #just got to me and reminded me how much i respect how the writers moved jay and matt on #upstead #not a tag i thought I'd do on my own post lol #brettsey #i mean I'm still pretty eh about upstead but it's not bc I don't see their love #also. the first time i was impressed with the writers was bc i was sure i wouldn't ship brettsey #not bc of any loyalty to previous characters but just bc i didn't think I'd see their chemistry #and then bam! #i shipped them. which is good. bc i love sylvie #and matt ofc but im mainly happy he's getting a happy relationship bc of the deep love for jesse spencer #anywaaaay i should stop rambling #this post is getting long #i have to tag it with #reese rambles
