Episode 4 should be better, I'm pretty tired right now and not in the mood to deal with Nini so lets see how this goes.

Previous -- Next

Season 1 episode 4 thoughts:

EJ's fear of being found out

Nini, he's you boyfriend. You have to communicate with him and tell him if there's an issue and if you're bowling up with him. This is exactly what you did with Ricky, you never learn because you refuse to realise that it's your fault

EJ is so willing to tall about this but she waits till they're in front of a big crowd to do it. She doesn't fucking deserve him

Redlyn sneakily watching them like

Then EJ has the decency to get away from the crowd and actually communicate like a good couple should do

EJ is the only one putting work into their relationship, Nini just expects everyone to love and surround her no matter what

I never understand how their days work, is this in the morning, at lunch, do they have to go back to school in the evenings

Ricky is so happy to see his mom

Okay, the scene with Ricky finding out his parents are divorcing is the best scene in the show. You can just feel hiw there's no right move and anything and everything is just going to upset him more

This is the second time that Nini has made it impossible for anything to get done at rehearsals. I swear Gina doesn't even have to do anything, she's ruining herself

Gina's little face when she sees all the drama unfolding

How relevant the SARS joke is again 😂

Big Red having no idea what's going on

Seb pointing to stage right for Big Red is so cute. I wish we got more of them interacting

Ashlyn knowing everything that went down and just being like, well fuck

The little Ashina moment where the angel and devil on EJ's shoulders interact

"Loving and accepting community" Then why are you being so mean to Ricky, right after his parents divorce

Ricky’s little defeated, helpless look

Aww, the way she immediately changes her tone with him. She gets 5 points back for that.

Okay, so timeliness wise, we're now coming near Oct 9 (I think that's when the next episode is)

I love how Gina is just always scheming

I love terrified EJ is with his "stay away from me"

Timeline: 6 weeks until opening night

How do you sleep at night Nini

Okay so around 4 months ago Ricky and Nini broke up, 2 months later she went to camp and started dating EJ then another 2 months before they break up

Everyone meet Nini "not talking about her issues unless it's dumping them on a person who is clearly doing something else and has nothing to do with the issue" Salazar-Roberts

Not everything's about you Nini, Kourtney isn't an extension of you, she has her own life

She doesn't even know who this girl is?

Guys please fucking talk to the teacher about these issues. I swear it's easier than trying to deal with a hormonal teenager

You really can't focus on anything but yourself for 5 minutes, Nini

Is Salt Lake the camp EJ and Nini went to, cause it doesn't look like it has tents

I love Ashlyn, she's always just trying to so the right thing. She would've been a way better protagonist than Nini

The way she takes responsibility for how her actions relate to his. Responsible queen

Big Red trying his best to support Ricky

Red, give him a hug

That's Nini, just kinda leaving people instead of properly communicating that you're over

Here's a question Kourtney, would Nini ever check to see if you're okay. Probably not. So leave her!!!!!! I swear if I guy treated Nini like she treats Kourtney Kourtney would be swearing up and down the walls about how bad that guy is, but she acts like Nini is a saint

It's not problem solved, you can't nope out of issues and ignore how you leaving without any warning could hurt the people around you

All I want from season 3 is for Nini to come back at the end and everyone just confronts her about how she hurt them and they all just leave her for season 4 without any friends. Maybe Ashlyn would still talk to her but it would be awkward between them

"Does he think I'm the kind of girl who needs to be saved" Yes, because you are. You never do anything to work towards your goals and expect everything to be handed to you. If she had been doing her own little wonderstudy plot then that would be understandable but no, she was doing nothing. I swear this girl with her first world problem of "Oh no, the guy I like helps me achieve my goals". She also couldn't stop to think for one moment that maybe he's just the kind of guy who likes to help people, why because she's so self centered she can't possible imagine how anyone else might think

Stop making this all about you, his parents just got divorced and he doesn't want to go home. Let your moms comfort him, stop being so selfish and hogging all the moms

Thank you Carol for giving her a reality check

Ricky wearing the slc pride shirt, foreshadowing????

Ricky still saying he should've asked her about all of this after everything that happened

Nini, you get 2 points for helping Ricky but your very deep into the negatives, so I don't think it's gonna help

Gina is so assertive, I miss this part of her

What the fuck is she on about him not meeting her halfway. If she knew anything about him she would know how hard things were for him. And she didn’t even try to make him feel comfortable and posted the video on fucking instagram for everyone to see. If anything, she didn’t meet him halfway and try to understand where he's coming from. I swear this girl is so fucking entitled

What was the pineapple costume even used for?

I was nice to see Nini finally help someone else for once and break out of that really self centered "Only my issues matter" shell that she was in but it seemed kinda out of character after in the beginning she made it pretty clear she doesn't care about Ricky's feelings. I feel like until she apologizes, any support she gives Ricky is going to feel out of character, but this is the last episode Oliver Goldstick helped to write so I think we're going to have a bit of a shift tomorrow.

When I first decided to stop listening to Gavin Osborn's songs a few at a time on YouTube and just took to Bandcamp to buy the discography and get into it properly, almost 18 months ago now, that happened to be the same day I broke up with my girlfriend. This is a coincidence, I'd been planning to do that before we broke up, and the breakup came on pretty suddenly, so it wasn't like I'd decided to buy a bunch of Gavin Osborn's a way to cope with that (there were comedy things that I threw myself too hard into in the following 2 days specifically as a coping mechanism, but those didn't include Gavin Osborn, they included re-listening to Kitson's After the Beginning Before the End twice in a row and then making that compilation video where it sounds like the Chocolate Milk Gang are having a political argument - though actually that video does include a couple of Gavin Osborn songs). I insist that this, and only this, is the reason why the song Sweet Bedford made me cry the first time I heard it. You did get me with that one, Gavin, but to be fair, on that day, you could have made me cry with a picture of a leaf in the right light.

Anyway, another consequence of me picking that day to go through Gavin Osborn's catalogue from start to finish is that I kind of glossed over the couple of particularly romantic albums in the middle. I mean, I still listened to them, I listened to every song on every album once, and then went back over my favourites. But the flaw in doing albums this way is you miss songs that could have become your favourites on repeat listens, because they never get another shot. Maybe you glossed over them because they're the type of song that's a slower burn, that benefits from hearing again, that has more going on than is immediately obvious. Or maybe you glossed over them because you'd just ended the first serious relationship you'd been in for ten years, or possibly ever depending on how you define "serious", and you don't need the extreme detail of how much Gavin Osborn loves his wife, you're very pleased that they're happy but also you're going to listen to those couple of romance-heavy albums with your ears only half open and careful not to look at any pictures of leaves.

That is my reasoning for why this gem largely escaped my notice, when I go through my favourite Gavin Osborn songs. I just heard it in an old recording and my first thought was that this can't be on his albums, or I'd have heard it before and would love it. Then I checked, saw what album it was on, thought more closely about the subject matter, and said, "Oh, right, that would be why I listened in a manner so detached that I didn't remember hearing it."

youtube

I love it when Gavin Osborn gets suddenly intense. It's his ridiculously, almost absurdly easygoing and affable persona, so when he suddenly swears, or as he seems to in this song, references the way we as humans are constantly choosing to hold back from our capacity for gruesome violence, the contrast hits you and it's great.

That has reminded me of why I've been trying to do more album listening lately, rather than picking out songs, especially for things I've discovered in the last 4 or 5 years (the songs I loved when I was younger - I've already heard every song on those albums a million times, I am convinced that if there are songs on there that I skip, that's fine, if I was going to fall in love with that song I'd have done it by now). You catch good bits that you might have glossed over otherwise.

I've been doing a lot of listening to comedy-adjacent musicians in the past couple of months, with Grace Petrie's new album that I'm obessed with and there's some other stuff that I'd been listening to on YouTube/Soundcloud for a while, and then this weekend decided to just go buy it on Bandcamp because 1) that makes album listening easier and you can hear the songs in their proper context, and 2) if an artist puts their work on Bandcamp and therefore gives you the option to pay them directly for their work, you should try to do that. I've been enjoying it a lot.

This wasn't a particularly coherent post so just to tie it all together, Bandcamp is good and full album listening (if not every time, at least the first few times rather than just once to give each song a chance) is good and I like it when Gavin Osborn employs needlessly violent imagery.

being in love with someone and being loved back sounds... so fake tbh

#today's reflection: am i aro or people around me have such fucked up relationships i'd rather be single forever than put myself through it #who knows #i see couple 1: we're so in love!#and i'm yeah sure but remember that time he cheated on you with a 14 yo he should be in fucking jail #couple 2 broke up 4 times in a month but swear they're in love #you don't even look like you enjoy each other's company dudes #not even as friends so why are you insisting on this #idk idk #couple 3 where one swears being together is the best thing but the other was literally drinking with another girl on his lap #on a pub in my street because it's secluded and i think he thought he wouldn't cross anyone he knew #this is stupid af but like #how do you want me to believe it's possible when all i see is this?#how am i expected to trust anyone when people routinely behave like this?#personal

2,365 Days

2,365 days. That’s how long it took you to realize that you were in love with Han Jisung. It took him another 36 to realize that he never stopped.

Pairing: Han Jisung/reader, female reader.

Word Count: 2.1k

Genre: Romance, college au, idiots in love, slight angst, angst with a happy ending, childhood best friends to lovers au.

Warnings: Excessive usage of italics and Y/N because that’s how I roll. Also profanity, I like to cuss.

Bits and pieces of a story idea I had for Han. Events happen chronologically, but a fair amount of time is skipped before and after each bit. Heavily inspired by the song Jenny (I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship), go ahead and take a listen!

↢

“Two thousand, three hundred and sixty-five days!”, you shouted.

Jisung stopped in his tracks, furrowing his eyebrows. “Y/N, what are you on about?”.

“Two thousand, three hundred and sixty-five days”, you stated again. “That’s- that’s how long it took me to realize I was in love with you”.

His mouth parted in shock at your confession. “Look, Y/N-”, he started but you cut him off.

“I don’t want to hear it!”, you said furiously shaking your head. “I know it’s stupid! I am never going to be over how stupid it was that I could be in love with someone for that long and not realize it until a couple weeks ago!”.

He took a step forward reaching out to put a hand on your shoulder. On any other day you would have gladly accepted the comfort, but the look in his eyes in that moment sickened you. In all the years you had known him, he had never once looked at you like that. And you fucking hated it.

All you could see was pity.

You dodged his hand, instead letting your own arms wrap around your front. You didn’t want comfort from him, not right now at least. All his touch did was make you hurt.

“The worst part about this is that I think you used to be in love with me too”, you murmured, shrinking into yourself. “And I’m- I’m so sorry I never realized it until now because I think… I think I could have saved you a lot of pain if I just took one fucking look at what was right in front of me”.

“Y/N…”, he said looking at you with a pained expression.

“Jisung I’m sorry, I really am. I know you’re with someone right now. I’m not trying to- steal you from them or something I just…”, you trailed off.

“You just what?”, he said.

“I just!”, you said looking at the ceiling to hold back your tears. Pressing the heel of your hands into your eyes you took deep steadying breaths.

“Jisung, I want you to be happy. I really do. And if that girl makes you happy then- that’s enough for me! I just… needed to give my best friend an explanation instead of dropping off the face of the earth”.

“Dropping off…?” he said, beginning to look vaguely panicked. “Where are you going?”.

“I’m just going home!”, you said waving your hands back and forth in a placating manner. “For… a couple of months at least”.

“Y/N. You haven’t been back home since the day we graduated high school”.

“I know”, you whispered looking at the floor. “I just need time to myself right now. These feelings are all new and I… I know I can’t be a good friend to you right now. Seeing you, being with you it just- hurts. I’m not the best friend you deserve right now”.

Jisung made a pained noise in the back of his throat and stepped in closer towards you. “I’m not mad at you! You don’t need to leave, if that’s what you’re afraid of”, he said placing his hands on your shoulders.

“No that’s not it Jisung”, you said gently brushing off his hands. “I just- for me to be a good friend, the one who can support you and the relationship you’ve found yourself in, I need time to get over these feelings. And I know that’s something I can’t do right now. So, I’m going home”.

Jisung sighed heavily, running his hands through his hair. Taking another look at you he seemed to decide that you were being serious and dropped onto your couch in defeat.

“You’re not… you’re not leaving right?”, he said head hanging down to his knees. “You’re coming back?”.

You gave a half hearted laugh and collapsed next to him.

“Han Jisung, just because the unfortunate side effects of the human condition cause me to have feelings for you that does not mean that you are ever going to be able to get rid of me”.

He gave a chuckle in response, still refusing to lift his head up. You tried to ignore the fact that he was sniffling through giggles. For his sake.

You gently nudged his shoulder with your own.

“I’ve known you for almost 7 years now. You’re stuck with me for life”.

He laughed fully this time, trying to subtly wipe at his eyes. “Kylie”, he said tilting his head at you and giving you a watery smile. “What do you think about her?”.

You gave him your own watery smile in return, “I really like her”, you said.

And it was the truth.

↢

Something was off, Jisung thought. In fact, something was off about this entire week.

His grades we’re up, better than they ever had been, he was dating an amazing girl, he had a steady job so… life is good.

Life was good, right?

↢

“Are you done moping yet?”, Chan said casually sipping at his soda.

“Moping?”, I asked. “I’m not moping”.

Chan rolled his eyes throwing another french fry into his mouth. “You clearly are. But, if we’re still in the denial stage that’s fine. We can just talk about… uh”, chan said nibbling at his fry thoughtfully. “Oh!”, he shouted suddenly. “Professor Brewer’s paper! Why don’t we work on it now? What are you doing for the prompt?”.

I sighed and rested my head on my palm. “I already finished it”, I grumbled twirling my soda straw aimlessly.

Chan’s eyes nearly popped out of his skull. “You fucking what?!”, he said choking on his soda.

“Shit dude are you ok?”, I said patting at his back. He waved me off, spluttering an “I’m ok” back.

“You WHAT”, he said after regaining his breath.

I shrank back in my seat. “I er- already finished it?”, I said nervously.

“Han”, Chan deadpanned. “We have 4 days left until that paper is due”.

I furrowed my eyebrows at him. “4 days isn’t that long you know, I have other classes too. Besides, don’t you always finish your assignments the day they're assigned?”.

He waved me off leaning back in his seat. “Yeah I do, but that’s not the point”.

“I’m sorry… then what exactly is the point then?”, I asked steadily growing more confused.

“The point is! You never even bother to look at your assignments until the day they’re due!”, Chan said exasperatedly.

I eyed him warily. “Why are you getting so worked up about this?”.

“Because!”, he all but shouted. “You’re an idiot!”.

“Hey!”, I said. “Just because you’re my hyung doesn’t mean you can just call me stupid!”, I huffed crossing my arms at him. “I’ll have you know I have a 3.8 this quarter”.

“Exactly”, Chan groaned while slowly dragging a hand across his face.

“What the hell are you on about?”, I said genuinely starting to become annoyed with the conversation.

“Hannie”, he said sighing. “The only reason you have such good grades this quarter is because you’re not following Y/N around like a lost puppy”.

My heart panged at the mention of her name. “I don’t know what you're talking about”, I breathed.

“Yes you do”, he said with a stern look in his eyes. “You have shitty grades every quarter because all you ever want to do is spend time with her. The only reason you get by is because she chews your ass out when she finds out you’ve been slacking”.

“Nope”, I shook my head adamantly. “I still don’t know what you’re talking about. I have a girlfriend, everything’s just fine”.

“Ok the fact that you brought that up when I wasn’t even talking about your girlfriend makes me feel like there’s more to unpack there but… baby steps. We’ll come back to that”

Chan looked at me with an expectant look in his eyes, as if waiting for me to say something. I shrugged helplessly at him, not knowing what he wanted from me.

He sighed heavily through his nose before apparently giving up on what he’d been waiting for.

“Hannie…”, he said gently. Chan carefully put his hand on my shoulder and looked at me with sympathetic look in his eyes. “You miss her”.

I could feel my heartbeat pounding in my ears. “No I don’t”, I said shaking my head at him.

“Han, you’ve spent nearly every single day with Y/N since you guys we’re 13. You can’t expect me to believe- actually you can’t expect yourself to believe that you don’t miss her”.

“Not true”, I muttered. “When we were in school she went back in the summers to visit her family”.

“Fine then- you spent everyday with her albeit 2 months out of the year. That’s not even true for the past 3 years! She hasn’t been back these summers, she stayed with you”.

I sighed heavily, sliding even further down my seat. “What do you want me to do?”, I mumbled miserably.

“I want you to stop being an idiot and acknowledge that you're upset, and that you have been for the past month”.

“Because Y/N’s gone?”, I asked slowly.

“Because Y/N’s gone.”, Chan affirmed.

↢

“Jisung?”, you asked incredulously. “How the hell did you get here? Why the hell are you here?”.

Jisung was near hyperventilating at this point, he felt that his lungs might collapse from the sheer stress of the situation.

Alright, alright. Calm down. Just remember what Chan and Changbin told you in the car ride over this is fine everything’s fine.

“I broke up with Kylie!”, I blurted out.

Everything was not fucking fine.

You crossed your arms and gave him a stern look. “Han Jisung I had to suffer through weeks of you non-stop talking about that girl. You better have not just broken up with her I swear to god-”

“She doesn’t make me cheesecake!”, I shouted cutting off her rant.

She looked even more confused than when she first realized I was standing in her grandparent’s yard. “Jisung what on earth are you talking about?”, she said.

What on earth indeed.

“I’m sure if it's really that big of a problem”, she said utterly perplexed. “She could just learn how to make one dude?”.

“Even if she did, it wouldn’t be your cheesecake!”, I said desperately.

“...what?”.

“It wouldn’t be the same as the ones you make me and- she doesn’t stay up with me all night trying to help me figure out rhymes for my lyrics even though you know you can’t rap for shit. And sure, she can skateboard and that’s pretty cool but she’s not the dumbass who thought launching herself off an out of control board was a great idea and face planted in the middle of four way traffic-”.

“Hey!”, she huffed indignantly.

I ignored her, continuing to roll right through my rant.

“And she doesn’t snore like a fucking buzzsaw, which would be so cute if it didn’t sound so god damn concerning. And she doesn’t watch romance movies with me even though you absolutely despise them and-”, I said stopping abruptly.

“And?”, she asked softly.

“And I don’t love her”, I breathed feeling the tips of my ears turn red. “Not the way that I love you”.

“Oh”, she said.

I laughed at her dumbfounded expression. “It took me 36 days and 2 hyungs to realize I was still in love with you and all you have to say in response is ‘oh’?”.

She huffed at me in annoyance. “I spilled my guts out to you a month ago, what the hell else do you want?! Some kind of blood oath??”.

“If that’s what it takes for you to tell me you love me right now then yeah, I think that’s fair”.

“You should have asked for that a whole fucking month ago!”, she said stamping her foot in annoyance.

“Hey! You may have had to wait a month but I had to wait 6 whole fucking years before you even acknowledged that you liked me!”.

“I hate you”.

“Oh you do? Well I could just- get back in Chan’s car then. Drive back to school”, I teased.

“Han Jisung I swear to god I will throw this fucking shovel at you”.

I laughed wholeheartedly, head tilting towards the sky. “Ok ok, I’m sorry. I get it. No leaving allowed, now will you get over here and kiss me already?”.

“No!” she yelped, turning red.

“6 years Y/N, I’m a desperate man”.

“If you don’t shut up I swear to god-”.

From one Dog Parent to Another.. What I learned...

I know most of my friends have heard and know that I lost Clover a few days ago. I haven’t said much to my friends who don’t have pets or have never lost a pet, because it’s hard to explain to someone that while, yes, Clover was my dog... she was also so much more to me and why the simple yet dismissive attitude of “it’s just a dog” cuts so deeply. Clover was my baby, my best friend and my companion... She was my girl... I don’t have kids, but I think I loved her as much as I would have loved my own kid... and losing her, has been very hard. I’m single, living in a big city, and she was my entire little world. Clover came into my life when she was about a year old, she only had 3 legs and was a stressed out neurotic mess...I mean a mess, still kinda was in the end, but I think that’s why within a week of knowing her, she was my entire life... My girl had licked countless tears off my face and went on every hike or walk with me that her little body could handle, did yoga with me and she made sure sure that I never slept alone... Clover would have traveled with me to Spain, London, Ireland and Australia if it wasn’t for the fact that my human friends said “uh no” LOL (Christa). I had big plans for the two of us, but her little life was cut entirely too short by the disease that takes most of our loved ones unfortunately, Cancer. I say all this, because I got Clover in my early twenties, when I was broke and had never owned a dog on my own before.... I had her for 9 years and I learned so much about being a dog mom, that I thought it was only right for me to share some of what I learned, what I know I can do better the next time or would never change about my time with Clover. 1. Get the pet insurance. I don’t care what anyone says... “it’s not worth it,” “it won’t cover what I need.” “I have a dog and never used it.” ... JUST GET IT.. I didn’t when she was young and by the time I needed it, the prices were unreasonable and I was already down the rabbit whole of it not really covering what she needed because I didn’t get it early enough and she had become “high risk.”

2. Always, always, always pay attention to lumps and bumps... AND always have the vet do a biopsy before anyone takes a knife to anything... with cancer, cutting them open sometimes can accelerate the disease... you need to know what it is before you can start a treatment plan.

3. Pay the extra money for good quality food... they’re like humans, garbage food will just wear them down... I did this early because of Clovers allergies and I swear her coloring, mood and energy all changed when she got on the good stuff.

4. For the love of god, yes brush their teeth and start it young.. at least a couple times a week.... after 8 extractions and a girl with one Snaggle tooth for her front bottom teeth, haha I mean, ah man it was cute though.. ..but just brush the teeth, and have them cleaned once a year when they go for their shots... plus it protects their baby hearts.

5. Do the Heart Disease and worm prevention.. take care of their precious hearts

6. I highly recommend making a specific time of the day their “time” or “your time together” with them.... mine was mornings with Clover... it was consistent, she got the morning love, cuddles, scratches, her greenie, a walk, rope time and ball time when she was little younger. It’s good for their little souls.

7. Find friends to watch them if you can oppose to boarding houses... I’ve boarded so I know sometimes it’s the only option, but she was always so much more at ease when it was friends or family.

8. Definitely crate training... Its a life saver if you ever want an all nighter and not come home to fuzz or trash all over the house (yes happened with Clover a few times..)

9. It’s ok to want another dog after they pass. Pain from losing one is just love pouring out of you with no where to go... we only have them a short time and they know that we loved them AND ONLY THEM, that entire time..... they would not feel betrayed by you pouring that love into saving another dogs life

10. Know when to stop. This has been the one thing weighing on my soul, but know when your kid can’t take anymore surgeries, procedures or medication. And don’t feel guilty for the what if’s. Clover had 3 major surgeries in 12 months, and it took a toll on her heart; and I knew that one more or spending the thousand and thousands on chemo or radiation would only beat up her little body more; with no real guarantee it would work. So knowing that she deserved guaranteed time over a her potentially dying in a 4th surgery was my decision for her, and I knew it was time to stop

11Give them a great last day if you know their time to go is scheduled... go to the park, play the one last fetch session, invite your friends, even if you’re a mess, because your dog loves your friends as much as you do and loves all the pets. Give them that farewell day and fuck anyone who laughs at that..

12. Stay in the room with them when it’s time. Yes it's excruciating and so hard to say goodbye, but they're so afraid and unsure why they’re at the vet or what's happening, so be the strength they need and hold them, comfort them and make sure they know how much they were loved... no person or animal deserves to die alone and in fear.

13. Lastly; don’t hang out or date people who "are not dog people" Because they will never understand how much this small friend means to you.... it’s never “just a dog.” And are these people even human?!?!, honestly who doesn’t love dogs...
