Spoilers for Fresh Waters Run Deep
I don't have any particularly strong opinions about the recent Gill x Lagoona episodes. Though I will say that my heart aches for all the Dracugoona fans out there. The gay moments they have are insane, and it's a crime that they're not canon </3
But I can absolutely agree with the people on here that are saying that Lagoona and Gill's relationship feels very... rushed. Gill is already calling Lagoona "Goony", holding her hand, blushing, etc. And Gill hasn't even been around for three episodes, and this was his first episode where he actually... had a character?? That wasn't Lagoona gushing about him from afar??
The thing is, it's supposed to be "established" that they spend lots of time together and have gotten to know each other, but that's explained to us in the first minute of Fresh Waters Run Deep. And honestly, the first minute is never something that a lot of us remember lol. So, watching this episode, I could not grasp that these two had known each other for a while now. At least, not enough to be hand holding and getting nicknames. Like, c'mon, Draculaura and Lagoona should be calling each other nicknames like "Goony". -_-
And I'm a sucker for slow burn romance, so seeing Cleo and Frankie, for example, slowly fall for each other has been really lovely. But this...? Idk if it's because they were dating in G1, but even then, this is a new generation. A new series. There still has to be the relationship build up
