just finished watching season 3 of euphoria and wanted to know your thoughts on nate’s new persona lol. it just feels as if he’s a new character with the name nate jacobs
BRO YES I LOVE YOU MATE FOR ASKING THIS
I may be the first person to ever say this sentence but lowkey :
NATE JACOBS MY SHAYLA? Where did he go? This whole season feels like AI slop for pervs
Rant/Essay/Crashout :
Here's a couple moments where I knew this shit was not Nate Jacobs™
The wedding. Bro. No way in hell is he gonna be that chill with Jules, his Dad, RUE and MADDY in the same room. Real Nate™ wouldn't have let Cassie be in charge of the guestlist (or anything at all, for that matter. Max, she'll be allowed the cake. The dance would make him consider leaving for milk).
The reaction to Cassie's posts on the Internet. DUDE. No fucking way he'd have tried to explain why that shit might be suggestive. The maid would've been fired, and Cassie would've genuinely lost phone privileges or summat.
THE LYING ABOUT THE LOANS. BRO. Real Nate™ wouldn't give a FUCK. He would tell Cassie that they're not doing well financially and convince her that if she loved him, like really, then she'd stop being so demanding and actually help at the very least reduce budget. Maybe throw in a little something about how he was there for her when she had no one and he gave her a place to stay so it's only fair.
Also, the house is abysmal. Mr. Monogrammed-Pillows and Monochrome-Bedroom is living in a puke yellow house that looks like Sesame Street threw up on it? Right. Sure.
"You Love Who You Love" was the number 1 most bullshit line and I refuse to believe there's not a surprise twist that this is Nate's kind twin brother and Real Nate™ is locked in somewhere like Mad-Eye Moody.
Real Nate™ would have either tried talking to Maddy during the wedding or getting her arse kicked out, no two-ways about it
And his response to finding out that she left because she got a little too emotional (fuck you, Jules) would actually be to hunt her arse down and try to do something with that information, if only to be a grade A asshole about it and make her cry under the pretense of closure. COME ON.
No matter how much financial debt he's in, he would NOT let Cassie's fucking OnlyFans money keep him afloat. I know he hates his Dad and has pride or whatever, but he WOULD GO BACK TO HIS FATHER AND TELL HIM.
I've gotta be honest I feel like they're holding on to only very specific parts of his personality in order to pacify fans who think he should get his karma.
Yes, he's prideful, but if it comes to the family he's created or the family he comes from, he's saving the former over the latter, becaues THAT'S BEEN HIS ENTIRE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. A family that listens to him because they trust and depend on him and he can provide and be the opposite of his own! It's spelled out in season 2!
Because he's not some inhuman asshole, he's a kid who peaked in high school and only knew what he thought masculinity was and still somehow managed to develop a plan for the future.
So, if it's between going to his Dad to help his financial issues or letting his wife and the woman he is married to (and needs to show up in public with) sell her body on the internet for money, he's gonna envelop his Dad into a bear hug quicker than you can say bankruptcy.
They've maintained only his idea of a 'perfect american family' but not what he's willing to do to achieve it
WHY DID THEY RUIN THAT? BRO. NO ONE IS ALL GOOD OR ALL BAD. HE HAS GOOD IN HIM. HE HAS BAD IN HIM.
They've made a caricature of what is otherwise a tremendously compelling character and that narks me just a bit.
crashout over ; thanks for reading (or not reading)
Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers//non-negotiable, positivity is cool
AHHH MILES HI I KNOW THIS IS UNNECESSARILY LATE BUT I'M GENUINELY JUST SEEING IT 😭😭
Things I like about myself?
uh, I like my hair, I like that I can speak four different languages, I like my movie taste, I like that my imagination is so bright that I can be alone for ages and construct castles in my mind's eye, and I like that I've never had bad intentions in any situation
i totally understand if you feel it’s good as a stand-alone
I’m just insanely invested and obsessed with your writing :)
KESHA AHH
I actually wanted to, because I love this dynamic and I sort of went to a whole different place or summat when I was writing it it was so lovely and floaty and dreamlike. But I genuinely don't know what to bloody do with this fic bro
Do I leave it like that or do I ask for prompts and requests and just write based off of them?
