Summer Days.

CRUEL SUMMER SPOILERS BELOW

I’m really annoyed about the Jeanette reveal because everyone calling Jeanette shady for doing things that actually made sense was validated. Like… the girl had a mother who was also constantly seeking validation and approval of more “popular” girls (see the post-yoga scene, Jeanette’s mom was also very excited about the Wallis girls in general bc they’re celebrity-adjacent), she was bound to want to have the Kate Wallis life and openly admire her. They had an opportunity to show that sometimes ppl have behaviors we don’t understand that aren’t harmful while people who seem to act completely within social boundaries do cause harm. Now little things like “Jeanette was excited to find out gossip about the popular girl being missing because she thought having this info would give her social gain” turns into “Jeanette was excited Kate was missing”.

They made it a story of two girls against each other and jealousy instead of letting it remain a story about the ways adults can be more interested in clout and social standing than the safety of their kids. We got one scene of Kate confronting her mother about how she taught her to be obedient. One. We had that “scary story” scene which was unexplored. The adults in this show invited a man to SLEEP OVER at a lakehouse-cabin-thing with their MINOR CHILDREN and they’d just met him.  

Maybe I’m overreacting because I was the harmless socially ostracized kid who just wanted to have friends, and I was groomed by a “trusted adult”, but i feel like turning Jeanette into a villain really takes away from the fact that adults failed both of those girls.

I spent so long being told/believing that I had to have a rational reaction to everything despite the fact that I am in fact a walking talking well of emotions

watched Fleabag for the first time after being exposed to the "i love you"/"it'll pass" exchange like a million times on the internet and I expected it to wreck me but it was strangely so comforting
