Top 5 Jackie/Hyde moments xD Original, right? lmao
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. Thank you! <3
1. “I think it’s a real waste because I love you!”
[[GROSS SOBBING]]
Listen, I already did a long ass meta about the kiss after he makes it clear he forgives her and believes her. But let me tell you some more about this moment:
Jackie is used to get what she wants, no matter what. She is also used to Hyde’s rejection and hard words, but by this point, she has been in love with him in spite of those things for a while. I believe she fell for him before the summer started, it was just somethig that was growing in both of them until it exploded that afternoon in the basement.
She has pined for him, has tried to show her interest in all the ways possible, go out with him, rejected him and then ended deeply in love with him.
When she realizes she has fucked up and she not only hurt his pride, but his heart, she knows she has to be honest and firm. She’s scared to lose him and its shown by the way she tries all the episode to make things clear and understand what is that she is feeling with all this mess.
Once Jackie realizes the only man for her is back at that nasty basement, she goes right away and decides she has had enough.
Jackie knows him so well. He won’t listen, he needs actions. His insecurities are triggered by his sudden want and love for her, and when he heard her call someone else as her boyfriend and saw her get jealous for someone else, he not only felt betrayed but rejected, he feels like if he isn’t enough.
He thinks she was using him, when he is opening himelf for the first time and letting himself love and be loved, this happens.
Once she confesses love, he stops his shit and looks at her like if he couldn’t believe any of it. But he has all the signs that she isn’t lying: she went for him, decided to speak for herself, tell the truth (that she still has feelings for Kelso and will have all her life, because he was her first boyfriend anyway, AND THAT’S FUCKING NORMAL, especially at 16 years old) and even as he was rejecting her and treating her bad, she still confesses love.
“I’m not saying it back!”
OH BOY! He is not just implying he feels the same way, by saying this he is also saying “yeah, ok, me too, but I’m NOT saying it!” and she looks at him firm and hard: “I don’t care”. DUDE. Again, this is a girl who has always got all she wanted but she is willing to let go of a love confession if that means he will understand that she loves him, him, not Kelso, not anyone else, but him.
After they kiss and she hugs him, there’s such relief on Hyde’s face and the way he grabs onto her like if he doesn’t want her to go ever again, gosh. God bless.

2. “Oh. Nobody I know. Anyway, thanks.”
Not just this smooch is fucking cute as hell, look at their hands and Jackie’s face and the way they lean into each other. Everthing about this scene is not only adorable, but deep, an important moment for their relationship.
They were fighting. She lied to him and he did something honest to god inapropiate at her back, they have this huge fight that could have ended what they already had.
But even then, he helps, and even then, she tries to protect him (and it works!). She takes the blame for his pot so he won’t be in trouble and this touches him deeply.
Jackie explains to him she did it because she cares about him, and people who cares about each other do those kind of things. He then says and realizes, no one he knows has ever done something like that for him (after the punchline, of course).
He is the one that does those things (see, him going to jail instead of Jackie), no the other way around.
But suddenly this girl that not only makes him feel ~~stuff~~, but also means so much to him to the point he gets angry if she lies to him about her damn personal problems, wants to protect him and does it without waiting something from him.
Hyde sees for the first time someone caring so much for him, they would get in trouble if that saves him from that. And it’s beautiful.
The way Hyde grabes her face, and how he kisses her, gosh. This is so damn cute. I love it.

3. “HE’S PERFECT!”
Look, I know people loves Hyde worshipping Jackie but my real kink here is Jackie worshipping Hyde, and this little moment gave me all the damn feelings.
Because, he just’ve been rejected by his goddamn fucking biological father after getting the courage enough to contact him and ask to see him. This is a man who was rejected by his mother and adoptive father all his life, who had to be taken by his best friend’s family because his mother abandoned him with nothing but dust and a decaying home. So the second he hears this man thinks so little of him without giving him a damn chance, he is done.
Hyde storming off the place is understandable, but just because he isn’t there, it doesn’t mean nobody will put W.B. on his place. The moment Jackie stands up, I was already cheering when she called out W.B. and yells with such affectionate tone “He’s perfect!” because– BECAUSE HE FUCKING IS TO HER.
It’s so damn beautiful, she is so capable of make it clear she adores this man without him in the room. If she says this to other people, how many times do you think she has overwhelmed the shit out of Hyde while alone? How many times have she make him blush with her words? She’s such a loving woman, of course she would think of him as perfect.
What I love the most is that we don’t often see her give praises to anyone but herself. Right now, I don’t actually remember her calling Kelso perfect either (let alone Fez, sorry not sorry); pretty? sure, but perfect? That’s her Steven.

4. "SHINE, GRASSHOPPER, SHINE”
You know, a lot of people started shipping them when this happened and it’s not only because is a fun moment and episode in general, but because this is Hyde not only being nice to Jackie but letting her know him in a way no one has done before.
This is his way of protection, his version of Zen. This is the way he has build the walls she later takes down herself. So when he decides to teach her his way of protection, he is letting her in and is putting himself in a vulnerable place since she could know now how to destroy his barreries if she wanted.
What is more cool about this, is that she doesn’t.
She has gain some sort of respect from him by this episode; he has been supporting her during her time without Kelso and has been protecting her too, the building for a friendship between them by this moment is very important and great (such a shame it was dropped in season 3). No wonder why she fell for him.
Besides, this is the moment that gave us our shipname: zenmasters ;)

5. “she’s my chick”
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.
Let me tell you about this, I enjoyed it so much the first time I saw this episode! I still enjoy it a lot, even with how this season treated my favorite characters and their relationship.
I love everything about this. Not only because my favorite ship goes out with my other favorite ship, like some sort of double date, but because Hyde makes it clear his priority is Jackie and he has no problem showing it. It’s wonderful because he isn’t being ooc and he is being romantic in his own way, and also because is clear that Jackie knows him pretty well.
She says to Kitty that he won’t ditch her, not because she has told him not to, but because she knows the way her boyfriend loves her and that, for Hyde, being with her is what matters when they are together. For the way he acts in this scene, I’m sure he is enjoying himself and the fair pretty much, but he is also enjoying Jackie’s comapny.
Just a few days ago I found out that there was a delated dialogue in which Jackie tells Kitty she hopes he puts extra sugar in the thingy he buys for her, because she forgot to tell him. He does. Hyde knows how Jackie eats her food. MAN, HE KNOWS. It means he has done this before, it means that he puts especial attention to even her food, the way she likes things.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY, is such a cute detail!
And of course, the moment of the moments. Kitty seems to not get this, that Hyde is in love with Jackie and he prefers her company to cars and chicks on cars. When she asks, Hyde doesn’t even blink or even THINKS his answers, because is obvious. Why would he want to expend his time with Jackie on a cars shows? “She’s my chick”.
KSNFIENFINEIFI3.
The thing doesn’t just end there! Jackie’s reaction to his answer is the damn cutest! She is so happy that her Steven calls her that, and she is so proud to call herself his chick, all this moment is so preocious! I love it!
I love this… belonging Hyde and Jackie share with each other, this like good jealousy of feeling like they are it for each other, they belong in each other’s arms, so of course she is his chick and of course she loves being called that, just like he is her Steven.
You see, this is people that has never truly been wanted. That found a home later in life when they had to grow up in empty houses with distant adults (and god knows what horrors in Hyde’s case) that happened to be their parents that never wanted them before.
But they belong together and build a home for themselves in each other’s arms. They are their own family out of two people who genuinely love each other. So yes, of course she is happy he calls her his chick and of course she is happy to call herself his chick.
And seriously… Steven Hyde can be the sweetest guy ever without trying. I mean, look at the beauty of this: he wants to spend the day with her even when they went to see cars! Imagine if writers would have remembered Jackie loves cars and to work with cars! IMAGINE HOW MUCH FUN AND HOW MANY CUTE SHIT WE COULD HAVE HAD FROM THIS SAME EPISODE!
In the end, this is still wonderful for me :) And I mean, look at her face, she’s so happy:
(gifs)
Other moments I love:
– “I have never felt the way I feel for her before. I’m sorry, Kelso, but I wanna be with her”, says Hyde to one of his best friends who hurt the love of his life and is now trying to get back to her out of some childish jealousy shit.
– That one time this cutie pie that is Steven Hyde shaved to make her feel better about a very horrible situation she was going through.
– “You’re beautiful”, says Hyde, the man who is afraid of commintment and says he is never getting married, to Jackie, a woman who has wanted to get married and have her own family her whole life, who happens to be the love of his life wearing a wedding dress in front of him.
– “I know that I love Steven because he is smart. And deep. And when we talk, he makes me think– which used to give me a headache, but now I really like”, says Jackie. A girl who has been making herself dumb for her stupid ex-boyfriend, who has been told a million times by her own best friend she’s dumb and her likings and desires are not valid.
insists that they are an awesome dancer even though they’re terrible
lmao babs, she she only does it when they’re alone, and Never at the Sirens, but she does it All The Time, usually after a really good day. tabs never calls her out on it tho, bc 1 she’s not crazy and 2 it kinda super cute.
likes to watch reality tv
tabs is really into crappy tv and she’s 100% unapologetic about it. babs likes to say tabs is wasting her time watching that crap, but she’s secretly getting Really into it too.
refuses to wear pants when they’re home alone
babs started it, but eventually it becomes a Thing for both of them. they wear too much leather/tight dresses, so they need to relax and also easy access 😏
is the jealous / protective one
babs leans more towards jealousy and tabs into protectiveness, but both experience both a lot, and it’s mostly thanks to a mix of never really defining their relationship + intense feelings towards one another.
goes all out on the holidays
the galavan never really cared about holidays? so tabs grew up being kinda whatever about it? and babs grew up watching her parents throw huge christmas parties just for looks, that she actually kinda loved? so when they get together, babs insists on throwing parties and having a big tree and exchanging presents and tabs was like ugh okay but after the first year tabs is hooked??? now she wants to do Everything. fireworks on 4th of july, make the thanksgiving dinner, dress butch up as santa, the whole 9.
cries over books
tabs and it’s a Big problem. babs learns to deal with it and how to take care of tabs after a particularly emotional book a few months into their relationship ((usually by cuddling and letting tabs tell the whole story between sobs))
is terrible with kids
babs, not that she really cares at this point in her life anyway. and if kids are ever around, tabs is a natural, and she can distract them pretty easy.
drinks too much caffeine
i mean, babs drinks too much everything, but coffee is like the 1 (one) thing tabs kicks her ass @ drinking. she can’t kill a guy without a few cups in her system. or she can, it’s just not the same thing.
could sleep for twenty-four hours straight
babs, and trust me, sometimes she tries really hard to. tabs gave up on ever trying to wake her up before like noon.
never wears matching socks
tabs @ home when she doesn’t have to wear all black and shows off her cute (?) animal socks
punches a tree when they’re angry
definitely babs. she’s the explosive one. tabs is more like a ‘hold everything in until it’s too late and don’t let ppl know how upset you are’ kinda gal.
gets scared by the toaster
babs, and tabs laughs at her every single day and every single day babs threatens to throw the toaster on her, it’s like their little routine.

Unemotional characters should be normalized, especially women, men can be selfish emotionless dickheads, but then as soon as it’s a woman all hell breaks loose
like everyone’s like “lol emilia can’t act” because ... she didn’t outwardly emote? i got from her face that she was sad. that she was heart broken. also idk what people think acting is like. but you don’t just get to make all your own choices. you have a script to follow (daenerys stares mournfully at her dragon) and a director who tells you how to do it. (less emotion. more emotion. try this.) like she doesn’t get to just go out there and wail and beat on her chest because you think that’s what grief looks like.

“don’t erase bis while I try erase a lesbian” :“”“’(
I once saw someone say .. very thoughtfully ... that representation for one under represented group shouldn't come at the cost of another under represented group. like not to belabor the point but buffy as a bisexual is literally canon fact. AND a far better example of bi-erasure.
