speechless was a good show that i spent hours to finish watching today so im gonna yell rn bc i havent heard anyone talking about this show except for that one gifset that makes its rounds around tumblr (the how can i give these children the equal opportunity death match they desire? one)

- it works as a fun family sitcom! the chaotic dynamic is great

- jokes about disability that aren’t at the expense of the person with them! and they’re funny!

- moments (entire episodes, even) breaking down disability savior stereotypes, addressing that jj wants to talk to girls, making jokes with his aide, just. him being a guy because that’s what he is

- visual gigs with jj’s wheelchair (it’s tied to the dog at one point in an attempt to hide it from a guy evaluating the property and the dog. doesn’t move as a joke)

- the kids grow over the course of seasons! the girls are right in that second to last episode, ray grew too fast

- overarching plot points and jokes, recurring items (the bed-lifting thing jj sees in his college tour that’s in his own nyu room, the dad’s band getting back together, emma watson)

- maya getting over her rivalry with melanie and actually getting along bc they’re so similar

- jj’s love of film! that isn’t discouraged!

- that one time when everyone piles into the car for a road trip and the kids drive the car and dylan’s like ‘why do i have to be the responsible one here. ray’s off the rails and jj just wants to see the world burn’ and jj just nods smugly

- any moment of Bonding Time at the end of an episode

- jj’s parents and kenneth worrying about him leaving because they really like taking care of jj and he has to say smth about them being alright

- halloween and christmas episodes :)

- god this show is so good. please watch it for a heartfelt and funny show youll get stuck on

#honestly this show was informative for me as well #i recognized the cp board from the book out of my mind a few years back and now i definitely know what it is and how it's used #representation matters! etc #ngl i have. reassessed my biases for a bit since there were a bunch of posts that went around saying hey. you havent thought about that. and #i hadn't #and this show was neat in that it was like jj is a sweet guy but ultimately he is just some guy (positive) not to be treated like a savior #or aesthetic. or child. or object. things which happen in the show and im sure unfortunately irl #anyway this show is good.#speechless #jj dimeo #maya dimeo #ray dimeo #dylan dimeo #jimmy dimeo #kenneth clements #abc sitcom #rambles

I found someone who loves me, Mom. If I leave, I lose her. I may never find someone again. Be realistic. My love, you know what you have to do. I’ve opened so many doors for you, but you walked through every one. And look what it got you. [laughs] This silly hat. [jj smiles]

I get that Kenneth can’t stay with JJ when he goes to college because the harsh truth of being crippled and transitioning into college is that you lose most of the pediatric support (like your doctors and aides).

That being said...

I was so hoping that the entire show was going to lead up to a scene where Kenneth decided to move with JJ and Maya smirked and said, “Nice to meet you, Blind Side.”

Maya: That is right, we have always taught you that disability is no excuse.

Neighbor: Hey, when are you cutting your lawn?

Maya: WE HAVE A SON WITH SPECIAL NEEDS!
