I need y'all to understand just how much the "I wish I had two lives" scene has ruined me.
david loves kristen. when ben finally says it outloud for him, he recognizes it for what we've all seen & suspected/known for years. he doesn't even try to deny it. he loves & needs (his words!!!) kristen and wants a live with her so badly. but he simultaneously wants to reform his life & fight evil & commit to something he views as worthy & morally good. & w the life he has he's chosen the latter route. he's already committed to it by the time kristen enters his life. & now? kristen is equivalent to god to him. he wishes he had a whole other life that he could devote to kristen like he's devoted his current one to god.
& kristen loves david. ellie/laura/??? says it outloud for kristen & while she looks like she wants to argue it, she doesn't. she loves david. she wishes she had two lives, both of them for him. bc no matter if it's this life she has now or another, she can't imagine a life without him. she wants him in every life she has. & yet, she's scared of breeching being just friends. she's the one to leave after the kiss. she's the one to tell him to go when they hug in the shed. she's almost always the one to break the charged moments between them. she's married, sure, but that's not exactly stopped her before. it's the push & pull in the way the moon & ocean love one another. it's the knowing that david's chosen the church in this life. & even still, she still wants him close even if it can't be romantically.
& ben cares for them both. he's continually painted as the third wheel, but he's an integral spoke in the dynamic they all share. i think ben's "what about me?" is mainly asked to break the tension w comedy, sure, but some part genuine curiosity as well. & kristen assures him that he gets a life too—this life, the one they already all share together. he knows how david & kristen feel about each other, & i think whatever feelings he has or might have towards them get put on the back burner as a result. but he's with them till the end. he comforts kristen through various situations & is a confidant for david even though their thoughts on spirituality & religion are complete opposites. the dynamic just isn't complete without him. & so he gets a life as well, of course, even if he holds them both at an arm's distance for his own heart's sake.
an emoji free scroll thru jade’s instagram because canva hates me and makes the emojis look ugly… also lets ignore the fact that the second to last pic literally looks nothing like them please pretend for me i forgot the pics were gonna end up big when i made the other pic of the entire feed oops 🫣
but you guys should read my story on ao3!! the link is in my bio and i swear it’s good!!!!!!!!!
i’ve been posting a new jori fic on ao3, Leave the Light On!! i’ve also been posting related images on pinterest that i edit for the album covers and articles and things like that. for some reason, pinterest won’t let me post this article, so i’m posting it here… if it intrigues you, you should read my fic!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/64691734/chapters/166199176
some jade and tori instagrams for your day!!! these instagrams are based on the jade and tori i wrote for a fanfic of mine (i put the link in the comments) and i really wanted a way to visualize the characters with where i think they’d be in the months following them deciding to be a couple/the end of the story 🤭🤭 so i guess this is an epilogue of sorts
planning on also making a “scrolling through” for each of their feeds so we can see captions and comments &&& some story posts from each of them with more cute pics and friends and all that good stuff… really just a glimpse into what i think their lives would be like
if you’re intrigued by the random names in the “followed by,” you should check out my fic 😏 although they really only show up in the last chapter but the rest of it is really good i promiseeee
thinking about jade and tori getting mcflurries together and jade bullying tori for getting an m&m one because jade thinks the oreo ones are superior bc duh but tori says she likes when the m&ms are frozen and they make the ice cream look rainbow-y and jade tells tori that she’s weird but there is that look in her eyesssss
scrolling thru jade’s instagram…
