Screaming into the void.

My thoughts on how Amy feels about her pregnancy, because what else is going on... lol

So, there's a difference between not liking being pregnant and not wanting kids. Amy did say that no one likes to be pregnant, but she has also said in the past that she thinks she wants more kids. Plenty of women agree that being pregnant sucks, it does crazy stuff to your body, but they still go through it because they want to be mothers.

My interpretation of Amy's headspace on all this is: she likes being a mother. She has always thought she'd have another kid, just not with Adam. So, yeah unfortunately Adam is the father of this kid, BUT, she's no longer 'with' Adam. She is free of the relationship she no longer wanted, but has the pregnancy/second kid that she thought she'd have. Definitely not a perfect scenario, but she's thinking she'll make it work. Her concern: Is that Jonah won't want to be with her (or she's lost her chance with him) because she's pregnant with another man's baby and... well, that might be a deal breaker for a lot of men, lol. .... And that! is what we'll find out in second 4... dun-dun-daaaah (My guess: Jonah panics at first A LOT but is ultimately on board because he looooves her:)

(And I will add as a side note: I do think this choice of plot line is very soap-opera-y for a sitcom, which surprised me. I agree with most people in being like, 'WTF??' It was a bold choice for the writers, for sure. But I'm on board for where they go with it, and genuinely excited to see what's next!)

I was just reminiscing that back when I saw this spoiler photo from before the episode aired, I was like, 'oh wow, Jonah must be saying something really intense to Amy.' But now I know that he was just saying "...unlimited breadsticks..." in a bad Italian accent.

...post season 3 finale. Fun Silly Sexy Times... followed by a PLOT TWIST, because why not.

Current mood: when you write a 'one off' fan fiction that then quickly spirals in a wildly different direction and you decide to just roll with it even if it's insane and will probably make people mad.

Question

For people who don’t hate the pregnancy storyline, what do you see happening in s4? I can’t picture it, maybe if I knew what kind of story people see, I would be less pessimistic.

[anothermagicalsummer]

I’ve posted about this before. And a stand by this statement: it’s more romantic for these two to decide to be together despite of a pregnancy, not because of it. Otherwise you risk the pairing seeming obligatory. So instead of “I need to/have to be with you because you are having my baby” it’s “I choose to be with you because I love you/want you, despite you having someone else’s baby.”

Also, believe it or not, babies don’t actually ruin people’s lives… lots of baby hate up in here (??) The baby will add complication to the start of a new romance, for sure(!), but that will only add fun drama and interesting plot lines because this is a tv show and not real people. Everything is gonna be fine :)

[lightedwindows]

I don’t find it more romantic, I mean Jonah has no rights or claim on Amy’s uterus or anything. It would not feel obligatory if she weren’t pregnant.

I’ve never said babies ruin lives, but it’s staggeringly expensive to be pregnant and have a child in the US with no paid maternity leave and very bad health care. Amy already has a child to support. She shut off her internet to save money. Owing that much money, feeding and clothing and wellness check ups for babies, all of that expense and drain on Amy and how it limits her life, that’s what I’m talking about.

And I’m genuinely wondering, what interesting plotlines do you see? I just want to know how you see it working?

[anothermagicalsummer]

I see where you are coming from, but it's a sit-com. I think you are just thinking about it too seriously, I don't think your enjoyment of the show will be taken away if that's what you are worried about? The writing will still be hysterical. The characters and acting will still be entertaining. I have no idea what will happen next, and that's what makes it worth watching. The show has taken realistic and tough problems and written them hysterically and great before, so I don't see how that will change. It's fine to be worried,... i just wouldn't worry too much, that's all :D

a post season finale fanfiction

[depressedrandomiser]

There is currently no new Superstore fanfiction on AO3, and I think it’s because everyone is still in shock.

[anothermagicalsummer]

i feel like this is because that last scene almost WAS fanfiction... aka: wildest smut dreams come true.

...Sexcapades....!

[anothermagicalsummer]

thank you to whoever put this together! parts 1 and 2 of THE KISS (end of 3x20 and start of 3x21)

[anothermagicalsummer]

You know what? The more I think about it, I'm gonna hold on to my 'wild' theory that Amy and Jonah rob the store. And then get so turned on by their illegal escapades, they have sex-capades. Yep. That's what I'm going with.
