Oh to see Nick grabbing Charlie’s pinky and have a sweet flashback to Connor’s famous first move holding Jude’s pinky back when life was simpler. Jude and Connor will forever remain the youngest queer kiss on tv (up until now) and they really started something. Pinkies aren’t a new move and they didn’t invent that, but how could i ever watch young queer people holding pinkies without thinking of good old jonnor?🥺 and nick did it in the movie theatre too, just like Connor😭❤️

Some people out there are afraid of what’s different, and sometimes they want to hurt people like Stef and me. So, every time we’re out and I want to hold Stef’s hand, but I decide not to? I get mad. I’m mad at the people who might want to hurt us, but mad at myself, too, for not standing up to them. ‘Cause the thing is…

Happy one year anniversary of Connor's return on good trouble!! I can't believe it's already been an entire year.

I still remember the exact moment when I found out he was coming back and how I was completely shocked but so so so happy. I had basically given up hope that they would ever bring him back or even just mention jonnor in any way.

And then the weeks we spent waiting for the episode to drop, all the theories about why connor was there and just so much hype and love for jonnor.

I stayed up until midnight so I could watch the episode right when it dropped on hulu. Everytime connor came on screen I had to pause it and regain my composure because I was just so happy. I wasn't expecting there to be so many scenes and so much new jonnor content. The episode was amazing and im so glad that jonnor could finally get the closure they deserved. And getting to liveblog the episode was so fun. I loved hearing everyone else's thoughts about the episode too!

Anyways im so grateful for that time and all of the other jonnor fans who made content and were there being excited and hyped about the episode with me. Getting to see the jonnor fandom revived even just for a small time was amazing. ily all ❤

no because I'm laughing again at The Fosters' actors of Connor and Jude playing gays on tv, being besties irl and their parents being besties irl and then boom Gavin and Hayden arguing on twitter, unfollowing each other, Gavin leaving the show nobody knows why for years... 5 years later they're reunited on screen kissing, Hayden and Gavin being good friends apparently okay good... and then boom Hayden's mom and Gavin's dad are revealed to be together basically making Gavin and Hayden stepbrothers.... like this layered drama should be studied at universities

Little Jonnor Moments…

Rewatching the series always gives me new reasons to love them. In 2x12, Jude and Connor deal with the aftermath of Jude telling Lena about Connor’s mysterious black eye.

Connor is immediately distressed when he realizes Jude is ignoring him.

“You don’t have to avoid me, okay? I’m not mad.”

Connor then asks if Lena quit her job.

Jude says nothing, and Connor takes it as a yes, asking “Is it because of my dad?”

He doesn’t even miss a beat. This isn’t the first time that Jude has given him silent treatment. Instead of getting frustrated or angry at Jude’s nonresponse, Connor continues the conversation as if Jude had responded. Jude didn’t give a yes or no to his questions. But Connor knew the answers because he can read Jude’s mind/body language. Just another example of how aware and accepting Connor is of Jude’s ways of coping.

Excerpt from a more lengthy Jonnor thing I’m writing.

Themes: Biology class, silent reading, possessive behavior, baseball fanart

-

Biology was one of Connor’s preferred subjects. It wasn’t that he particularly cared about the anatomy of cells or how living things were classified, but rather it was the one class he shared with Jude. He felt especially lucky on Lab Day, because with Lab Day came the ability to talk freely and move about the classroom without being scolded. 

Today was not Lab Day. Most days of the week, Biology consisted of Mrs. Wilson’s less-than-captivating lectures or silent reading. Today was for silent reading. The room was hushed in studious concentration, or with covert distraction playing games and texting on one’s mobile phone. Either/or. 

Jude sat beside him, engaged in his textbook. Connor watched as the bridge of his nose scrunched up, perhaps puzzled by whatever he was reading. Jude’s dark eyebrows furrowed. His paper was halfway full with careless, chicken-scratch notes. Periodically, his lips would part and his pinched shoulders would heave a heavy, weighted sigh. His gaze shot up, annoyed.

“What?”

Connor had not yet started on his reading. He found that free time in class (a treasured luxury by all students everywhere) was better spent on a well-deserved mental break to prepare for whatever tribulations lay ahead, as well as ponder next period’s cafeteria choices. Restless, Connor kept himself active by doodling baseball paraphernalia on the corners of his otherwise blank sheet of three-hole-punched college rule. 

He was not prepared for such forward confrontation. He had been looking, yes, but not in an insolent way. More of an… I’m bored and I need something to focus my eyes on… type of way. 

It was obvious that there was something going on that Jude wasn’t ready to talk about. His sister was in the group home and, apparently, had not gained family visitation privileges yet. Lately, he had been catching Jude staring at the window. Connor presumed he was imagining Callie standing outside of the classroom looking in, waiting for him. 

Later that day, Jude would apologize for being so short and he would stay over at Connor’s house after school to play Dawn of Armageddon 3. But until then…

Pen upright in his hand, Connor slid his arm across the table. The ball point hovered millimeters above Jude’s paper. He waited a few seconds for permission, and when no protest came, he scribbled a dumb little five-point star under Jude’s writing. 

The corner of Jude’s mouth quirked up. 

Alongside sketches of bats and team logos, Connor had been practicing his autograph. Emphasized by his coach and re-emphasized by his dad, it was important for anyone hoping for the big leagues to perfect their unique signature. Feeling validated, Connor went for it again. 

Under Jude’s notes he inscribed a stylized, cursive, “Connor Stevens.”

Enthused, Connor moved his hand down until the pen hovered over Jude’s skin. Any onlooker watching the exchange wouldn’t have caught it, but Connor saw Jude’s hand move towards his own, only slightly. Maybe about a quarter of an inch if anyone were to try and measure it. Connor made quick work. 

Now, in semi-permanent ink, displayed on the back of Jude’s left hand, was a bright red, conspicuous, unmistakable “C.”

Connor felt dizzy. 

[judeswarpaint]

What I loved about “Get out of my face” was how it showed in a really, really subtle way Connor’s standing with his peers. He jumps to the rescue and dominates effortlessly but only uses his powers for good—to stand up for Jude when he sees how upset he is. Connor is known to be a well-liked kid. People don’t make fun of Jude once Connor has spoken to them.

There’s no homophobia from snapback but Connor is on high alert. He’s always, always there to defend Jude after that first hesitation in 1.05. And he’s not scared of being made fun of himself. He’s ready to take on the world. He told his dad. Nothing can touch him, except the fear that Jude may not like him as much as he likes Jude.

[judeswarpaint]

Another argument as to why Connor was the best out of Jude’s BFs: he brought out the best in the fam. Callie and the Moms initially didn’t like Noah and for good reason. Lena and eventually Stef both cared about Connor as if he was their own. Jesus didn’t like Connor, yes, but I think it was a brotherly sort of hate.
