I have to get my thoughts on Love, Victor out here:
• The friendships were everything!
• When Victor's mum was talking about how she can rely on Victor and that he was "her rock",,, I felt that.
• Felix!!!!! That boy is a gift!
• I loved when Felix and Pilar bonded. That friendship was everything! I wish we saw more of that
• Was I the only one to think that Lake and Mia were going to be a thing when I first saw them?? To be fair, they hadn't really said anything, I just though that the Love, Simon world needed more wlw action ((can you tell I'm still sad about the Leah and Abby erasure?))
• The 'only one bed' trope!!! I could smell that shit from a mile away
• Kinda annoyed that Nick Robinson clearly wasn't actually there on the same day as everyone else in the gay bar scene. It's not my fault that I wanted to see more Bram and Simon... :(
• I didn't hate Lake. (Controversial?)
• Derek was just mean. I feel bad for Benji because he had to be in a relationship like that for a year.
• THE ENDING! The exhale at the end was everything! Though, I really want to know what happens next. Somebody better be writing a fanfic.
• I really like how they handled Victor having homophobic grandparents. I was right there with Victor. When his dad said that he was fine with Benji and Derek but he'd hate to have a gay son... I felt that (again, I know, I'm just very invested in his life, ok)
• I can't get over that post of someone's thoughts on the pilot and one of the points was just 'salad boy :(((' -- I vibe with that.
• I was ready to full on hate Andrew, but now my feelings on him are mixed. He obviously acts really crappily, but it's clear that he actually cares about people (and by people I mean Mia). Idk we need more backstory.
• On terms of Mia, I thought she was pretty cool. Not too many feelings on her, really. I did feel bad for her at the end because of the way she found out about Victor, though.
• I was so stressed watching the last episode because I was worried that the ending was going to leave loads of loose ends and, even though it did, I think that they tied up the right ones and I wouldn't mind that being the end the whole series (although I would very much welcome another series!)
• From the little we saw of Benji (and I know it was quite a lot, but it wasn't enough!!), I can confidently say that boy is amazing.
• ALSO he is an art gay AND a band gay!!! Love! It!
• God, I would want a book of this show. I kept making up bits of Victor's thoughts in the Simon vs. style. I love that book so much.
• I loved how they explored other issues within the story. Love, Simon was specifically about him being gay and that story, but Love, Victor also focused on his family's and his friends' lives. This was probably because it wasn't solely following Victor which I think was a great addition
• Bram and Simon adopting a confused gay is just a great concept.
• When I first heard this was a thing I thought it had nothing to do with Bram and Simon so that was a very happy surprise!
• You bet I binge watched it all in one go!
So, yeah, it was very good. Definitely not perfect but I didn't expect it to be and it exceeded expectations. Go watch it! Here's for more wlw in the future.
