I’m not crying you’re crying 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰 This makes me really happy. The way Justin believed in Kevin & Madison. He spent years advocating for them & he really did see the same potential many of us did!! S5 was Kevin’s best era... he believed they were in love & that’s exactly what was shown until all of a sudden they had to come up with some reason to break them up. It was just silly the way they did it. So here’s to S5 Kevin. He was crazy about her. He felt so good, full and happy because he was in love with Mads 🥺😭🥰

“I think he’s found what he’s looking for”

“I think he’s taking his time. I think he’s falling in love with this woman he’s living with I think he’s also falling in love with his children”

it’s not weak if you need to be held, ch.43

Fandom: This Is Us

Pairing: Kevin Pearson/Madison Simons

Tags: Unplanned pregnancy; strangers to lovers; body issues and references to addiction

Summary: But, Madison figures, if she’d had more time to think about it, she would have imagined a scene like something from a movie she could so perfectly picture Kevin in, maybe slipping an envelope at him with baby pictures inside across a table at a coffee shop like she’s a private detective or from the Irish mob. Maybe it’d even be raining.

Status: Complete

Extract:

Madison touches up her hair in front of the vanity mirror for the last time, rearranging the stray curls falling off her elaborated bun. Her fingers drift up to her crown braid as she meticulously checks on every single spray rose and poppy and baby’s breath tucked in it. She’s spent the better part of the past twenty minutes working on it, and it would have been easier to ask someone else but she sort of wanted to do it on her own - for Kevin. She knows how much he’ll love it.

She’s startled by a knock on the door, followed by Kevin’s voice calling out to her: “Babe? Can I come in?”

Madison starts shaking her head before remembering that he can’t see her. “No, no, you can’t see my dress! It’s bad luck,” she calls back.

Kevin and Madison

[elephantsneedwater]

You could switch Sophie with Madison in all of the episodes after the wedding and it wouldn’t change anything 😬

I think it would. It would show that Kevin’s development into who he is at the end of the series mattered. He wanted to be a father with a family providing for them and what he got wasn’t that. The build up to Madison and Kevin makes more sense and feels way more natural than Kevin suddenly after six years deciding AGAIN that Sophie is the one.

If I was Sophie I’d be hella pissed with the back and forth.

Plus it seems like Madison/Kevin were the back up plan to Sophie and Kevin and that’s why I think all of her scenes are so short and clipped - they only had so much time with her to film. The actress is in another tv series. She’s barely registering as a character imo. But with Madison there would be a continuous relationship, scenes of them in each others lives for years before Kates wedding (where Sophie is miraculously on her second divorce and is still forever in love with Kevin) and certain scenes, I think filmed before Sophie’s actress became available show what was supposed to be.

I also think there would have been more time to shoot longer more meaningful scenes with Madison as the wife 1. The actress isn’t contracted to another show so they can shoot longer. 2. Madison has been front and center to Rebecca getting sick so she’s seen it from the beginning.

Being there for Kate and Kevin and how seen how it’s affected the whole family especially after so many lines in the series alluded to her being apart of the family. After Kevin blew up on her at the hospital when Kate was giving birth and her saying she wasn’t family, to her becoming pregnant by Kevin and literally being apart of the family. Hell, Randall even told her she was apart of the family and them being there for her wasn’t weird or odd when she was giving birth while waiting for Kevin. Kevin also proposed TWICE. (He doesn’t seem like the type to just do that especially S5 Kevin. Maybe S3 Kevin but not S5 Kevin.) That was emphasized way before she even got pregnant and I always found that scene to be foreshadowing and it was.

I just feel like it’s more impactful that’s she’s been there from the jump than Sophie who has been out of their lives for years and is shoved back into the family six years into Rebecca’s illness. Idk but Sophie feels like an after thought.

Even the scene where Kevin tells Madison he’s taking her off as his emergency contact seems like there’s pieces missing like it was too big of a build up to be just that conversation. Since S5 the build up of Kevison was there and obvious and suddenly there’s an Elijah and Madison accepts his proposal after six months - a man that’s barely on screen when she literally almost jumped into a wedding just months before????

Even the flash forward we got in S5 I believe where Madison tells Kevin she told him “12 times” no boys allowed was acted and shot to show how close, friendly and intimate they were with each other. The way she walked up to him is not a way a married woman with a new baby would walk up to the man who just happened to father her children and wasn’t in love with her.

There’s an obvious shift in S6 regarding Kevin/Madison and I believe for some god awful reason the writers or maybe just Dan wanted everyone watching to believe Sophie was always it.

I just don’t buy it.

At all.

Sorry if this all over the place my brain just vomited words.

“It’s quite sad, isn’t it? The end?”

“Oh, I don’t know. The way I see it, if something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening. Truth be told, I’ve always felt it a bit lazy to just think of the world as sad, because so much of it is. Because everything ends. Everything dies. But if you step back, if you can step back and look at the whole picture… if you’re brave enough to allow yourself to  allow yourself the gift of a really wide perspective… if you do that, you’ll see that the end is not sad, Rebecca, it’s just the start of the next incredibly beautiful thing.” - Rebecca Pearson and William Hill (This Is US, Episode 6.17)

Kevison being cute

[betweensunflowersanddaffodils]

We really couldn't ask for better actors to play Kevin and Madison. I've always been hooked by their chemistry, even when their scenes were short, because you really could see even on screen the affection these two have for each other in real life and I have simply adored when Ken Olin (one of the producers and directors of This Is Us and the one who gave us some of the best Kevison scenes) said in an interview:

"I'm just personally happy when I direct scenes with them. [...] It makes me happy when we do scenes together, whether they're fighting or they're playing... it just gives me real pleasure. I love directing both of them. And they're really fun."

This is one of the best things he could say about them because it's real and it shows, and I am so proud of Caitlin and Justin. Even if Kevin and Madison aren't endgame, I am proud to have chosen them since the beginning. Their chemistry is so sweet, it's not forced, it's not something like "LOOK at us, LOOK how incredible we are together, LOOK how wonderfully we do this and that because you HAVE to watch our chemistry", they respond to each other and give to each other something to work with, it's about the little things, it's about not just following the script to a T but doing things naturally, and they delivered it.

Oh gosh, I am gonna miss these two too much.

[choicest]

definitely still have a this is us finale hangover. love the show and how they wrapped things up. how simple yet striking the final ep was but NO ONE would ever convince me that kevin and sophie is the right choice.

some says that kevin's character development would have been pointless if it wasn't sophie but let me just say that change should ALWAYS and ultimately be driven by our want to be better individuals for ourselves first. kev is one of my fave characters and i think part of why im really disappointed is how they made it look like he's not capable of change if not for sophie.

the writers obviously didn't want to let go of a story line they had years ago even if the whole story now suggests otherwise. sad and annoyed by how they gave kevin lots of moments thinking and really wishing for a complete family (his ultimate dream) only to not give it to him. that hurts.

i love the show so much but they wasted a lot of gold on that part.

i miss being excited for a choices book update every week. those times when their books were really well written and has a very interesting plot. nowadays choices books have basically the same story. some are also just a steamy version of older books.

so THIS HAPPENED!

[louderthanabombb]

I'm sorry but I think Kevin should have ended up with Madison. Sure they don't have the epic romance/destiny vibe that Kevin and Sophie have but that's what I like about them. Kevin and Madison were not supposed to happen. She was a girl he slept with randomly one time. But they grew on each other. They grew together. They started a family. Kevin and Madison are messy. And interesting. And real. It would have been a great contrast to Randall and Beth's relationship. Or Jack and Rebecca's. I would have loved for Kevin's story to say 'Hey, not everyone ends up with their first love. Sometimes love happens by accident. And it's just as beautiful.'
