why 13rw ruined my life-buckle up its a long one

     Hey, it’s Emily. Don’t adjust your, whatever device you’re hearing this on. It’s me, live and in writing. No return engagements, no encore, and this time, absolutely no requests. Get a snack, settle in because I’m about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why this cursed show ruined my life. 

     Do the names Zach and Alex ring a bell? In fact, I have not stopped thinking about how these two fools were so beautifully set up to be the best couple in the show since that horrid day of June 5, 2020. As a matter of fact, Zach and Alex are literally the show’s most popular ship, yet they still were not endgame. Let’s throw in gRaNoLa CaMp cOoKiEs guy at the last minute. Listen, I love Charlie, he’s my bi baby, but it’s like his only personality trait is baking and annoying Alex. Like Alex literally said the words “If I say yes will these stop” in response to Charlie’s promposals. I have been an avid Zalex shipper since 2018, so you can imagine my disappointment towards the wasted potential we were dealt with this season. First of all, Zach did not teach Alex how to slow dance in season two just for them to not slow dance together at prom?? Did Ross Butler get into a fight with the writers or something, because why all that build up for NOthing? Can we also talk about how Alex murdered someone because they threatened Zach’s life? Can we also talk about how Alex almost drowned alone in season one, while in season four Zach saves him from drowning in the lake. The writers really had us thinking they were gonna kiss again, but then the scene just arbutedly ends? Can we talk about how Zach had to leave a room because Alex and Charlie were there? Maybe we can talk about how Zach is “not” in love with Alex, even though Alex was the one to break away from the kiss while Zach had his eyes closed with a dreamy look on his face. Ooh, I always love thinking about how Alex had no problem having Zach help him back in his cane days, but when Tony and Clay made an effort to walk his way to see if he needed help it cursed them out. We can also talk about the “Why are you with me and not with Charlie?” scene because I wonder why Zach would get so angry at his “best friend” hanging out with him like that if there was not more behind it. We can have the discussion of how Alex literally confessed his love to Zach in front of his boyfriend, with Zach adding in “it was a nice kiss” while staring Charlie down cuz that’s some funny bf shit. Actually, maybe we should be talking about how Charlie literally laughed when Monty told him Alex tried to kill himself and Zach had to step in. Yes, it makes sense for Charlie to laugh considering Monty’s is a scary little shit. Speaking of Monty, can we talk about how his gaydar was on point? Now I’m not one to brag, but I too both called Monty and Alex not being straight since season one, but let’s not get off track here. Monty called Alex a word that I am not gonna repeat in this essay for obvious reasons, but he also referred to Alex as Zach’s boyfriend. Again, I’m a big Charlie St. George fan, but when he smiled to alex at prom, my mans deadass said out loud “I’ll never be happy”. Like?? Anyways, maybe we can talk about how Alex started describing Zach when he was talking to the webcam girl. The more obvious shit being when Alex literally got a boner after trying to drop kick Zach, when was in the middle of a fight and stopped to help Alex up, or how Zach asks to hang out with Alex every 2108318 seconds. Or how Winston starts rambling on about why he’s in love with Alex and Zach goes like “yeah…”. We can also have the discussion about how, now this one is my favorite folks, Zach literally looked like he wanted to die when Charlie and Alex were holding hands at Monet’s. The moral of the story, is that there are many conversations to be had about Zach and alex. All in all, It just does not make sense for Zach and alex to go through what they did just for some random ass cookie generator boy to ruin it. I do have to admit, the prom scene made many many points, but it shouldve been ZACH!1!1 Ultimately, the only thing I got out of season four was that Alex settled for someone else because he thought Zach did not feel the same, when in reality, Zach had only realized he did too late.

     The next and final reason why this show has ruined my life is because of Justin foley. Do I even have to explain this one? Zach and Alex at least have potential to get together in the future, while Justin is gone forever. Fictional deaths are usually sad for me in general. I will usually tear up, maybe shed a tear or two, but for Justin mf Foley, I sobbed. I sobbed for the person that had the best character development known to man. I sobbed for the person that was homeless, lost himself to drugs, to then find his people and his happiness.  I don’t want to talk too much about his death because we all know how sad that was. Justin survived so much. Not only did he have to watch himself struggle because of drugs, he had to watch his mom to do so. His character development is the best I have ever seen. In particular, his development with Clay. Justin went from wanting him dead in season one, to calling him his brother in season four. The scene where Clay says goodbye to Justin especially hurts because it shows how Clay has learned how important it is to tell the people you love that you love them while they are still here. He almost died thinking that he had ruined Jess’ life. He knew he wasn’t feeling well on prom night, but still went for Jess. His and Jess’ relationship had always been a favorite of mine. They were at times on and off again, but you always knew they would ultimately end up together. Justin’s life was finally starting to go good for him. He had a family that loves him and he was going to college, and then his mother died and he relapsed. Justin Foley deserved to live a happy life in college, with Jess and Clay, with his best friend Zach, etc. He deserved a happy ending, period. And don’t even get me started on the scene where Clay reads Justin’s college letter. They both saved each others lives at one point or another, and who would have thought it would end like this. “He’s the reason I’m alive in the first place to write this essay because he’s my good influence. He’s my brother” is a scene that perfectly describes the sobbing chef’s kiss emoji. But enough with the sad because Justin Foley lived. While he knew what it was like to truly feel alone and helpless in this world, he also knew what it was like to feel loved and wanted. 

     All I wanted out of season four was zalex endgame and Justin’s happiness and looks where we’re at now. While all we have is Justin’s memory,  we still have Zalex’s future. All I’m saying is it cannot be a coincidence that Zach is the football coach with alex being at every football game due to Charlie. These bitches are fucking in the lockerooms, I just know it! No, but really, I am very hopeful for zalex college spin off. I mean hey, a Justin resurrection couldn’t hurt either. To end this essay I leave you with two words: what is the best ship and character from 13rw and why is it zalex and Justin?

zalex and the ending they deserved

+ this song is SO accurate with their dinamic

Sorry for being such a hardcore shipper but zalex deserved better and I needed to make that happen. And sorry if the manips are a kinda cringy or bad, but that's the best I could do in such a few days lol.

I totally understand that Zach can be straight and this kind of friendship obviously can happen between men without them being in a relationship or romantic interest in each other. And Zach reaction to Alex kiss was wonderful, he was very supportive and didn't make a big deal of it, eventhough his rejection. I don't want you to think that I'm mad just because they didn't make Zach gay or bi or pan or demi, etc LOL.

However, I still think making Zach totally straight felt kinda forced in his character, as well as making Alex ending falling in love with Charlie literally out of nowhere after all we saw in the previous seasons. Eventhough he said he was happy he didn't really seemed happy with Charlie as he is when he's with Zach. And Zach has always that sparkle in his eyes when he is with Alex, that makes me think that he actually feels something for him.

With that said, this is how (in my opinion) Zalex should've gone in season 4 and be endgame.

Zach should've been the one who calmed down Alex during the lockdown since it was him who was always there for him during his recovery and not Charlie, like, so random.

When Zach asked Alex why he was with him and not with Charlie, Alex should've stayed because he wanted to stay.

When Alex told Ani she saved his life more than anyone i got it, but Zach was there too and I really felt those words kinda went for him too(? since he literally saved his life so many times, including helping Alex to recover his normal life after he got brain damage.

Alex should've cared and helped Zach through his alcoholism problem as he did in the last episode but since the beginning, instead of telling him to stop being an asshole so many times.

Alex said he loves making crimes with Zach and he didn't want to leave him there. Both of them looked happy or at least having fun.

Sorry but I wanted a kiss generated by the adrenaline of the moment of be gays do crimes.

The vibe when they were on the boat saying "fuck it all" was really ... something.

I think Zach would totally start a kiss with Alex.

Zach and Alex should've gotten high with each other.

Zach would definitely be stubborn to convince Alex to go to prom with him and wouldn't give up until he got it (without being cringy or creepy or extremely cheesy). I don't doubt that he would have been able to carry Alex (physically) to the party just to make him go.

Zach should've been the one who took Alex to prom because they deserve that dance since s02 when Zach teached Alex how to dance.

Zach should've been the boyfriend Alex presented to his family. I bet Zach would be so happy and the family would be very supportive, knowing in advance how caring and good he is with Alex.

I'm sure Zach would be the only one who could make Alex dance with his "Dempsey magic" dance power lol.

Zach didn't hesitate to blame himself for Bryce crime because even if he was in the "I don't give a shit" mood, I think he would do it anyways if he had to protect Alex.

Zach cares about Alex. No matter what.

Always.

Well they deserved to be in love.

End of story.

If you read ALL THIS I owe you my heart ❤️
