OH LOOK, LAUREN SKINS-THOUGHTS. I can word-vomit right back at ya!
So when he has that "I can't think of anything worse than being you!" moment in "Effy," it's this HUGE MOMENT for him and at the end of the episode he still rescues Tony because that’s Sid. Because they ‘ll always ‘own’ each other. <3
When he says he loved Cassie, I believed him; does that make sense? That is I believed that he believed he loved her even though I don’t think it was love at that point.
I really really love those scenes where we can see that he’s starting to want her. Like when he’s playing around with their pictures on his computer. Or when he sees Maxxie’s sketch and he says “you made her beautiful,” and Maxxie says “She is beautiful”, and it’s like gears are turning in Sid’s brain…
AND THEN SID BREAKS DOWN JUST BREAKS DOWN WHILE THAT MUSIC IS PLAYING AND TONY CATCHES HIM WHEN HE CRUMPLES AND MY BOOOOOOOOOOOOOYS
YES. FAVORITE (ALL the scenes you are describing are in my OMGYESFAVORITE mind-folder :D) . I love how we don’t get to hear what Sid says, it is all in his FACE and how tightly he’s holding on to Tony. I just…this show tellsus without ever saying it out loud and that’s awesome
And when Sid and Michelle sleep together in S2, it makes so much sense for who they are. I usually hate this sort plotline in shows, the whole “oh noes, they are sleeping together for the drama!!111” thing, but here it actually made sense.They were themselves, things were screwed up, it was going to happen. I still loved them hard through that whole mess which never happens when I’m watching other things. Guh.
Ooooh. I never thought about Cassie’s interactions with strangers before. That’s brilliant. I really feel like the writers kept Cassie cracked and she was never quite given the chance to fix herself like the other characters did. “Lay waste to the world and everyone in it” Harsh. And…almost everyone has an arc while she has big wavy lines. I don’t know, it feels like that.
Chris and Cassie! 'Hey Sid, I will bite your head off and spit in the hole if you hurt her.' Beautiful. XD
I feel like if they’d given Anwar an episode, even another shared episode, I would’ve gotten it? In the same lightbulb way that I thought I get this character now! after Michelle’s and Sid’s and Chris’s first episodes. I’m disappointed that we didn’t get to see his dad again after that amazing speech he gave Maxxie (and Anwar, really). I wanted to SEE Anwar work out his issues with Maxxie’s sexuality instead of that whole mess with Sketch (I also don’t like her. Zero sympathy) WHY ANWAR, WHY. I feel bad for you but yeesh!
And he and Jal really work without feeling like you’re being hit over the head with “They’re opposites!” Like I once said, fastest case of OTP-worthy EVER!
He’s, like, the archetypal character who burns so bright that he has to die young. His candle won’t last the night, you know? He IS that line in the finale song: This is our decision, live fast and die young/We got the vision, now let’s have some fun!. That’s him. Chriiiiis.
She's the most responsible person on the show, adults included, the most easily compassionate and she's totally no-nonsense. I LOVE how no-nonsense she is. And how she just goes and goes and takes zero crap from the world. I would say you go, girl but she is telling it to herself all the time.
The coin! The speech! *sobs*
Maxxie's basically the sweetest boy in the world. Made of sunshine. Oh, yes. That part in 2.04 where Michelle is lonely and angry and telling herself to get it together and then Maxxie walks up to her and he’s smiling and it’s like here comes the sun doodoodoodoo. I love that he’s the one who watched out for Tony after the accident. And the ending where Tony jokes about ‘gaying him up’, idk if I’m reading into it too much, but it’s like Tony’s saying I somehow know I messed us up back then but you still watched out for me. Thank you.
*cough* Um, wow, I'm almost over the character limit. MORE TONY AND MICHELLE THOUGHTS TO COME.
Also memming this because I fangirl your fangirl world-vomit like you wouldn’t believe. :D:D
