KATE WALLIS — CRUEL SUMMER 1x02 (A SMASHING GOOD TIME)

a message from Rahul Kohli 

f*ck it, here are some silly pet paintings

1x01 Thoughts:

1. So fucking glad that they are having GG be a group project and not one individual and even though i think adults preying on children's privacy is disgusting (as gossip itself always has been), it's at least an interesting set up. Interested to see how the teacher dynamics will change the GG account as it goes though

2. NATE ARCHIBALD AS AN EXAMPLE OF BEST STUDENT?? someone who wrote this loves @rainathorpe and I personally

3. Poly ship poly ship poly ship

"it's different with you and aki"

"in a good way?"

"in the best way"

AND THEN

"you know you can think of him"

4. Julien and Zoya were so cute at first, I wish they had paced out that friendship throughout the season, but I'm also SO glad they didn't pull a Julien/Obi/Zoya cheating arc

5. I love the sound of Kristen Bell's voice

6. Zoya's dad is cute and it's interesting that he also has a unresolved relationship with the UES like Rufus even if not romantic

7. Super glad the power balance of the main trio isn't minions. Luna is shown to be an actual stylist, Monet is the one bossing Julien half the time as an actual manager, and Julien might be the influence but she's also a face. Which, the whole influencer thing is interesting in its own right

8. Max and his family of gays!!

9. Monet sitting like a queen in front of her throne!

10. Aki and his references 👌 I love this kid even more than I thought i might

11. Obi is a little annoying, but that's bc i don't want a rich white savior kid moralizing out of guilt with my trashy teen soaps lol. I don't think they had to go quite that hard to connect him with Zoya but whatever lol it's only the pilot

12. Also very unhappy with how the teachers dubbed the darkest-skinned character Monet "the villain", like bitch please.

13. I'm looking forward to actually getting to see Audrey's relationship with Julien, it was definitely overshadowed by Audrey's sex scenes they needed the promos for apparently

((that being said, it was nice to see the gender reversal of the typical standing male gratification sex scene))

14. this is something so tiny only i will care but i do love that they finally addressed campus roaming privileges even if in one sentence

AND LAST but... the digs at headbands, at chuck/blair being pre-cancel culture, and the former student now teacher being accused of being gossip girl were great

the barbie movie was obviously brilliant, but the moment that stood out to me the most was that raw pain and anger and grief in america’s voice as she gave her speech on how women are expected to be perfect. the dead silence in the background, the way the shot went from her to her wide-eyed daughter to the tired and increasingly horrified barbies. that moment sticks out to me the most because of how much i am sure america and those other women were not acting, dropping the façades of their roles and tapping into that exhaustion and pain that everyone, especially women, under the patriarchy has. it was raw and beautiful and so so so needed greta gerwig the woman you are
