a lot of typos but that's just what ranting's like

listen. listen. i haven't been to tumblr since probably may, my last scheduled (im not even trying to spell that right and my keyboard isn't set to english) post went out in june at the latest and it wasn't even in this blog

i don't use this blog a lot, all eleven of you know that. and my hopes were low for the show, they were *low* listen, ok?

but im not even halfway to through the second episode and it feels like some awful netflix teen show, riverdale is taking notes

i knew it wasn't gonna be like the book! i got that! the actor's are all in their late 20's and the book doesn't have enough plot to be a whole show but i thougjt that meant they were going to explore the characters more, not turn bronwynn into a sterotypical nightmare, throw addy's personality away and make her a "mommy is mean and life sucks and my biggest problem is that i cheated on my loving awesome bf for no apparent reason!" character. i read the book almost two and a half years ago and i remember enough to know her storyarc was probably the biggest and the whole thing about her being in the clininc because her boyfriend asked her to and her inability to stand up for herself and ok. i get it. there's a lot of room for her to have an arc here but i... just don't understand why the show did her like that.

and full disclosure here? i dont even remember her or nate's secret. i do however remember nate having a personality. i remember being worried about him and wanting to know what was going on with him. him and bronwynn were so good in the book because yes, we expected them to be together we knew it would happen but it was nice. like i said i don't remember that much but it wasn't so godawfully cringey as the show is.

back to bronwynn again. just. ughh. honestly the show has such potential for the switiching back between pov's (like they did during the interrogation!) but i feel like i don't know any of the characters. bronwynn and nate felt like main's (as in more than addy and cooper) when reading the book but i literally don't care for either of them right now? or maeve, she was much of a side in the (first) book but she had a role ! she was there !

so. onto cooper. i'm incredibly fond of cooper, you can tell. cooper and addy are my favorite characters from both books, i love them both dearly and they both individually mean so much to me. im still figuring myself out but i realized cooper was gay chapters before it was revealed and i clung to him. (and then i wonder how it took me so many years to realize i'm not straight) it was the fact that NO ONE KNEW. because he was afraid and yes he trusted his friends and he genuenly loved and cared for keely (even tho she got done wrong in the bpok- nowhere near enough screen (book?) time). and you can go look at my pinned post, im so fond of cooper because his storyarc felt -feels- like it could be me. easily. and i loved kris , despite his lack of proper screen time. and the fact that the two had each other was very important to me.

which, in my brain there's a logical jump here, why is there so much sex?? i dont even want to ellaborate on this one but uh, i read this book in middle school and i remember it being trending topic with the seventh graders?? kris and cooper had an caring relationship in the book and here it's a "let's be more than friends with benefits" (that's where the jump came from). and like i said, addy's secret might have been cheating but it was not like this. and yeah the actors are aged up (alwyas an awful idea) and teenagers have sex but still, it's the fact producers forget the big deal is that it's KIDS that saw a classmate die in front on their eyes and a child that is manipulated by her boyfriend and pressured by her mother, a high schooler with the weigh on the world on his shoulders selling drugs to stay afloat, a teenage girl trying to plan her entire life. big deal of YA books? THEYRE TEENS! that's why they resonate.

the show is really ruinung the characters and their world and all the things that i associate with this fandom. this tiny but lovely fandom that was just craving for conent and holding on to one another. so, this is as far as i got, one and a half epsiodes in. i genuenenly (listen, its a long day, its legible) actually truly hope y'all enjoy the show because you deserve to
