I DONT KNOW !!! it’s such an elite group…if we’re going by the fact that the cult has pull over the grove, maybe they understood how important jack could be in the long run. his desperation and misery could benefit them — everyone else in the grove is powerful and rich already. jack craves this. what will he do in exchange for that power (read: views and money! in a capitalist society, money is power!)
also omg name reveal 😍 (i’ve been here two days.)
edit: my name is in my bio i forgot what information i have been divulging,,,,,
Hi hello good morning I’m obsessed w u still and I would to request your thoughts on the episode ‘fishes’ pls n Ty
Omg me? Little old ME???? Staaaahhpppp thank you. <3 <3
Okay FISHES. I think I'm going to put my thoughts below the cut for people avoiding spoilers and also because I think I have a lot.
Luckily, I rewatched this episode last night with my parter so it's fresh in ma brain.
Honestly, it was heartbreaking, and stressful and chaotic, and just a lot of emotions flying around. I think we really get to see WHY Carmy is how he is. With himself, with the restaurant, with his siblings, with Richie, with Claire!!!! I think we see why he loves the kitchen, and probably why he hates it. @drabbles-mc said this to me the other day, how it really gave us an understanding WHY Carmy didn't go to Mikey's funeral. Because this is what happens at Christmas time, imagine what a funeral where everyone is grieving and emotional and going through it, would look like. Cousin Michelle talked with him about essentially taking care of himself and avoiding these scenarios and I think Carmy took that advice, even though it wasn't going to be with her.
With Sugar, I just. My heart breaks. It was a great callout to why in S1 she was so upset that Carmy never asked her how she was. I think that Sugar asked it so much because, 1. She genuinely cared but 2. She wished someone would have asked her. All the things her mother said to her, and like again, this is ONE time. ONE night. Imagine growing up like this, imagine dealing with this day after day? Idk I just I feel like this really showed us why each person is the way they are.
And WITH THAT. I feel like that's why Richie loves this family so much. He doesn't really have anyone, we touched upon how his dad not being there and I think this found family moment is better for him than nothing at all. Seeing him and Tiffany together ... ugh MY HEART. I knew Richie had a sweet side in him since S1, I know he was rude and grouchy and all that but MY MANS WAS GRIEVING OKAY. He is trying. He is constantly trying. He cares about people and HIS people so deeply and I just... give this man a hug.
Mikey. Fucking. Berzatto. and also. Jon fucking Bernthal. and ALSO the fucking WRITING! The way I see the pain Mikey is feeling through his eyes his behavior, his hair even, the disheveledness. In S1, we see him clean shaven, and I'd have to think that was before this Christmas episode (who actually knows?) but you can see he is struggling. When Lee in the end said "you are nothing." I got this feeling, he didn't actually say it that many times. I think it just repeated and ricochetted off in his brain. The way the camera shot is just makes me think we're in Mikey's POV? Idk.
NOW that we got through the heavy stuff, I need to go through the moments that made me smile.
FAKS <3 I adore Neil Fak with everything in me. Him and his brother dancing to Dominic the Donkey???? GOODBYE I LOLED.
I wanna know what Francie Fak did. no. I NEED to know.
Stevie saying grace. the whole thing.
on that note, that FIRE CAST!!!!
TIFFANY!!! I loved seeing Richie and her so much.
THE BANANA STORY THAT WE GET FULL CIRCLED IN THE END BYE I CANT HANDLE THE CUTENESS. Richie LISTENS. and that is something I really tried to push in my fics, but having it confirmed in canon made me so happy, selfishly lol.
did I mention the fucking FAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want homemade sprite made by Carmy.
PETE!!!!! I'm sorry but that man LOVES Sugar, he puts up with all that shit from this family because he loves her. And I just. My man. HE IS RIGHT THO like you can't show up empty handed but also, the 8th fish is prob not the best idea LOL
Donna. THis isn't fun. But I need to add it in here. I just, having a parent struggle mentally is really hard and I think we see how that's affected each Berzatto.
All the full circle moments. I LIVE for a full circle moment. So the banana, the tongues that tiffany and richie share that are the same that him and eva do, the cannolis, the seven fishes, our mother of victory, the list probably goes on!
This was one of my favorite episodes, Forks is my #1 fav cause you know I'm a Richie girlie, but this one just gave so much detail to the characters in such a uniquely captured way!
I’m absolutely feral for Richie and the smell of rain Drabble made me cry. I love it sm. Gonna go scour ur work for some more!!
oh my gosh, thank you SO much. The little universe I created for reader and Richie is probably one of my favorite handful of fics I've ever written, so this means more to me than you'll ever know!! I've posted like 4 fics for this universe so far and have a few more in my head and probably will have more pop into my brain, so more content is coming 😂 I am also FERAL for Richie and know @drabbles-mc is as well so you should check out some of her The Bear fics also!!
"Well well~ Haven't heard from you in quite some time, have I~?" Ryuko purred, arms wrapping around the ghost queen as she pressed her up against herself.
