the more i think about the scene at the storm drain where jj is giving pope advice on kie (the candles, the otis redding, etc) i don’t think that’s just generic advice he’s pulled off the top of his head… i think it’s very specific to kie?? like, i don’t think jj’s ever lit a candle in his life or picked out particular music for a girl, so i don’t think the advice is coming from personal experience of “well i’ve done this before and it worked”

and again, it’s not just any music, or even a certain genre, it’s very specifically otis redding?? i wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a reason for that, maybe kie’s mentioned in the past that she likes a particular song of his, or he’s heard her sing along to it or something? i just don’t think he randomly selected it out of thin air in that moment when talking to pope

all of this is to say that i think jj maybank has 100% given thought to what his first time would be like with kiara carerra, if he ever got the chance, and no one can tell me otherwise

Speaking of Season 1 headcanons it’s kind of amazing how many of those jiara fandom headcanons still stand up after Season 2. Sometimes a second season can just bulldoze everything you think about the characters but this season reaffirmed a lot of it which is nice.

Right?? Either we are some smart bitches or they snuck some peaks at Jiara headcanons. I was terrified writing fics would be hell to adjust to after season two, but honestly nothing was destroyed? I might have a firmer grasp on certain things now, or move around emphasis, but we are lucky.

okay but imagine kiara kissing jj in the middle of an argument and his stunned in awe reaction djflasdjfksjdlf

Okay but. I’m not kidding when I say this has always been my dream first kiss for them.

It would be so in character. Impulsive and passionate. PLEASE.

I think what’s so amazing about Jiara and this entire ship is the fact that it wasn’t planned and it all happened so naturally. This ship has allowed me to become so much more immersed in the show and deeply analyze the characters. Yeah Sarah and John B are cute, but they are set up to be lovers and it’s not really that deep. Same with Kie and Pope. But with JJ, you really have to really pay attention to all the small details and analyze him as a character to really understand his true feelings for Kie. Them getting together would feel so amazing because it’s the natural chemistry between their characters that draw them together, instead of just the planned content that is spoonfed to us as we watch.

I just wanted to remember when Kie came out of the sewer and the pope was immediately hugging her but she pushed him away (probably because she was feeling suffocated) but JJ just stood there by her side perfusing if she was alright. As beautiful as they know how to handle each other, are these details ✨

Right. Like it was little things like this. All through the season. Subtly setting up how much better suited jiara are. Like that thing with Kie fighting with her parents. And Popes all tryna suck up to them and telling them that’s he’ll have her home in time and Kie’s like ‘what are you doing?’ And the JJ is kinda reassuring Kie that they are just buffing and then the cute ‘it was nice seeing you’

In conclusion jiara season three ocean kiss endgame excellence.

pissed that we didn’t get ANY backstory about kie and rafe’s relationship or kie’s kook year!

Yeah I can’t imagine we will either. Tbh I’m glad for the lack of riara scenes… keep those crazies at bay.

(Anyway rarry endgame. Their break up hurt so bad)

[gaylecleven]

fish on!

[lydiaas]

kie (panicked) for @cutelittleancientfury

[gaylecleven]

something ive noticed is how jj no matter what kie does,whether she is in the wrong or not, never blames her. at times he even diverts the blame like with the camera - kie busted them, then stepped on jj"s hand who kicked pope in the face and then the cam broke but to him...that doesnt matter. The kook year stuff from last season....idk ots interesting esp with his 'why do u never take my side' outburst.

Yeah I did find it very interesting that he blamed Pope for that and then got mad then Kie took Popes side. Tbh JJ was picking little fights with Pope all season and I think it was the internalised jealousy spilling over

JJ thinking that Kie has feelings for John B vs JJ finding out that she doesn't. You are not any subtle, love.

The way no one talks about this!! JJ sounds like he’s making sure she definitely isn’t into John B and maybe he still has a chance.

[alphinias]

I’m really curious about how they’ll explore JJ’s feelings in season 3 tbh. Because based on watching seasons 1 and 2 I feel like it could be one of 2 things: 1. He is completely aware of how he feels about her but doesn’t do anything about it because he feels like he doesnt deserve her or 2. It’s more of a subconscious and repressed feeling that makes him feel jealousy or protectiveness etc but that he hasn’t actually identified as love. Either way I think it’ll be super interesting

I think it could go either way, but I do think JJ is more emotionally intuitive than he’s given credit for a lot of the time. Personally I lean towards he’s mostly kind of aware.

I think it’s one of those things that’s kind of just a given to him? “Sky is blue, fish live in water, I like Kie but it’s just never going to happen and that’s how it is.”

s3 jiara rain kiss? no✋ s3 jiara ocean kiss? yes😌

[mishellejones-old]

I JUST WANNA— okay okay i finished the season yesterday and like,, i need to let this out for a second bc the WAY they built jiara up this season for future romance,, the PARALLELS,, they just— jj and kie have always been twin flames, they crave the same adventure, the same freedom, the same laidback existence. they compliment each other so well and this season jonas and josh DID NOT disappoint when it came to portraying that. like??? we love pope. everybody loves pope. but pokie?? the way they PLAYED THAT OUT WHILE SUBTLY COMPARING HIM TO JJ ???? kie saying he was gonna be “boring pope” followed by jiara banter while smoking a blunt??? not to mention the fucking SURF TRIP, the parallel to s1 when kie tells pope she wants to travel the world, visit antarctica and that just doesn’t mesh with him. KIARA POINTING OUT THE LACK OF FIRE BETWEEN HER AND POPE AFTER THEY LITERALLY HOOK UP AND THEN PROCEEDING TO SHOW JJ AND KIE BICKERING AND BUTTING HEADS BC THEYRE BOTH SO STUBBORN AND FEISTY AND— kiara throwing herself at ward, elbowing luke in the face, JUST as jj would do for any person that crossed his friends. they’ve got fire in their blood and their flames are pointed at one another guys, its just simple fact. kudos. kudos kudos kudos to the show runners. jonas really prepared a full course meal for us from CRUMBS.
