Might sound crazy cause it’s literally 3am but I just want to take a moment to appreciate the fact that Lucy isn’t a stick (super small). Don’t come at me: I in NO WAY mean she’s big or overweight or anything like that. (Not that there is anything wrong with being either really skinny or big). I’m just saying that as a somewhat thick teenage girl with a sort of athletic build (the confidence is high with this one) I really enjoyed and connected well with a main character that had such a normal, natural body type. Her clothes fit her well and literally NOTHING is added in to draw attention to how she looks or her weight and I so loved that because in shows like this usually the main girl is super skinny or wearing tight clothes or clothes with the sole purpose of making her look better. And nothing is wrong is being skinny or wearing tight clothes, but I’m just saying it was amazing getting to watch a badass female lead character that seems comfortable in her body/looks and is allowed to just wear whatever she wants. I have absolutely no idea if that makes sense or sounds stupid because I’m half asleep but yeah.
Also, don’t get me STARTED on Lucy’s Fittes ball outfit because I LOVED it and there’s so many thing just so perfect about it that I can’t articulate well in the middle of the night.
lockwood took one look at lucy standing in the parlor doorway and was like “hi there, are you looking for a husband- sorry I meant job? because I’m definitely available- I mean hiring”
Y'all go watch this series!!!! I'm 9 episodes in and it's an amazing YA series. One of the best representations of an autistic girl I've seen as a main character. I could cry, honestly 😭
with adhd/autism it's funny like. people will call you weird all your life, people will bully you for your "outlandish" behaviour, people will criticize literally everything you do as "not normal", BUT THE SECOND YOU GET DIAGNOSED (or suggest you might have it) they're like "huh what but you're so normal, you're literally the most normal person I've ever seen, you're literally so normal and absolutely nothing is wrong with you? why would you have that now all of a sudden???"

Look I know there's the whole "they're sisters!!" reveal in later books, but hear me out.
THEM BEING SISTERS WAS DUMB AND UNNECESSARY TO THE PLOT AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ENDED UP TOGETHER.

BACK ON OUR BULLSHIT!
an excerpt from a review of the sge movie by the publication The Guardian:
"[W]hy is this film under the impression that its leads, an inseparable femme-tomboy pairing who share true love’s kiss right on the mouth in a climactic moment, are mutually platonic galpals? They’re queer-coded so hard that it’s nearly textual, and yet these characters are denied themselves like it’s 1961 and they need their parents to believe they’re roommates."
if i were soman chainani i'd probably be shitting my pants right about now
