ok how are we feeling?

OK LET’S GET INTO THIS. 🧨

I’M READY (MAYBE).

my heart is so full. i am satisfied. i am overwhelmed with feels but in a good way. and i’m sucked right back into the boat show. i love remembering why i love these characters and their story and their relationships. i watch the show mostly for jj tbh, and boy was he carrying this season.

of course i had minor disappointments, that’s kind of a given. like most ppl i was not a fan of the big john x john b storyline. it was boring and frustrating to watch them. way too much screen time given to that which could’ve explored other things…i thought this season they’d really give us some answers to big questions (kie’s kook year? jj and sarah’s moms? how did the pogues even meet?) but alas. can’t have everything.

here’s some of what i DID get:

JIARA. do i have to elaborate on how fucking amazing they were? how they were the most precious and also badass duo ever? how their slow burn was perfectly executed? the way they were so damn protective of each other? kie helping jj understand that he’s loved and cared for? jj going absolutely ballistic whenever he thinks kie is in danger? the angst? the way he admits that he thinks he’s just a loser and she can do better than him? the way she understands that he’s sensitive and doesn’t let people close easily? the way pope gives his (semi) blessing? the way john b teases him? the absolute fucking heart eyes they carry the whole season? because they’re the two most endearing characters of all time? this season was about a treasure hunt and they were each others treasure and they fucking found it and i am so damn emo.

CAMBANK SIBLING ENGERY. i’ve been craving more jj x sarah interaction and i finally got it. the way sarah was searching for jj to stay with because both of them have no where else to go (as john b is off with his idiot father)? the way she calls him jayj like the others now? the way she was so freaking worried about him getting hurt? making topper turn the whole truck around to help jj?the way she angrily pushed and then hugged him so tight when they found him alive? john b and sarah sometimes feel like the parents of the group and sarah really stepped up when he was gone. she’s so much more than john b’s gf, she really made the group feel like the family jj needs.

JJ x JOHN B going on their little adventure together was one of my favourite things. i adore watching them together. the way jj was waiting for john b at the chateau? john b confiding in him because that’s his best friend in the world and they need each other? the heads on each others shoulders and “we’re gonna figure this out”? the typical funny crazy moronic stupidity from these two (pls someone gif them crawling under the table or jb catching jj eating from that guys fridge)? the badass fight scenes they have together? not to mention jj’s reaction when they had to leave john b on the island??? “we’re not splitting up again” “we’re not leaving him” kill me now? their little scuffle / wrestling that was really pathetic because they’d never seriously hurt each other? jj going to the ends of the world for him? yeah.

CLEO. she was everything. carlacia killed it. she was exactly what the group needed, especially pope. they pulled off their relationship so well. also her and jj being a badass duo and holding knives to peoples throats together? yeah that’s the energy i needed this season.

The pure SATISFACTION of watching kie deceive rafe and push his whiny ass into the water. ward getting killed. big john getting killed (sorry). it was all very satisfying to watch. as much as they made topper slightly likeable this season, it was also nice to watch him lose after his psycho ass burned down the chateau.

JJ MAYBANK. hello!?? did y’all see this man? because i have never felt this straight before. the outfits (red tank top hello????). the smirks. the body. the water scenes. the everything. this man could do absolutely anything to me. he could run me over with a truck and i would thank him. john b in ep10 also made my lady parts tingle. but jj truly did not give me a break. he could’ve just stood there for 10 hours it would still be great.

THE FOUND FAMILY. my babies. they love each other so much and this season did a great job showing it. i would’ve liked to see more, but what we did get was nice. all the poguelandia scenes. the way jj just wanted to stay there and provide for his family? the angst when they return and jj realises the others all have their own families to go to? the flashbacks to jj being close to john b and his dad? him play fighting with big john who is like his own second dad? jj ready to have dinner with the heywards (him and cleo’s adoptive parents basically)? i’m so emo.

overall i feel like this season was just a lot darker and more serious / mature than the ones before. where S2 was kind of an exciting mess of random, funny, weird craziness and stupid decisions, S3 felt way more grounded and realistic but at the same time a lot more sincere. i loved watching the new dynamics and see cleo complete the group. madison and rudy killed it. it was amazing and i cannot wait to rewatch it (and reblog all the amazing gifs and content).

things that are needed for a cambank siblings duo in s4 (even though theyre not really siblings):

• an episode where it's them teamed up, both trying to get to Kie and John B somehow (idk maybe they get split up or John B and Kie get taken who knows but I need it)

• Sarah is pissed and JJ is pissed and they're annoyed with each other because they're tired and on edge so they bicker and just gripe at each other the whole episode but it brings just pure chaos and humor to the scenes

• they have a moment where they're trying to think of a plan and Sarah says something like, "I miss John B. he would know what to do." and JJ just gives a scrunched up face and says, "gross, get a room" and she shoves him annoyed and says, "I would if he was here," and JJ just pretends to puke

• JJ is like panicking over getting to Kie, terrified she's gonna get hurt, but he doesn't say it he just gets more and more irrational and irritated. He starts to spiral at one point and Sarah grabs both his arms and says, "JJ, Kie is going to be fine, okay? we're going to find them, and when we do, she's gonna be okay. I promise." and it works, it calms him down.

• he does dumb shit that makes him put his life on the line and when he's back and safe Sarah shoves him and hits him across the head, yelling at him that he's an idiot. then of course he starts to yells back but she just gives him a big hug and says, "don't scare me like that" and JJ laughs some, hugs her back, and says, "here I thought you didn't care," and she says, "I don't. If I let you die on my watch John B and Kie would kill me." and he just smiles as he hugs her.

• they're trying to hide for some reason and JJ covers half his face with his shirt and has sunglasses on, so Sarah grabs his hat on his head and puts it on her head and pulls it down to hide her face. JJ says, "wow, never would recognize you now," and she retorts back, "coming from the guy with a shirt on his face as a disguise"

• they have a heart to heart, JJ talking about how much he needs Kie, and goes even deeper into stuff with his dad and his mom, and Sarah relates to him. She talks about her mother also left when she was a kid, and them both relating on having abusive (emotionally and physically) dad's who they still miss no matter how much they don't want to. and how they're both terrified they're going to become their parents.

• they need food and JJ is going to steal it, expecting Sarah to shame him, and instead she just rolls her eyes at his plan and shows him how is done but the power of manipulation and faux confidence.

• when finally reunited with Kie and John B, they give their SOs hugs and kisses, and John B says, "I'm surprised you guys survived this long with each other without killing each other" and they just look at each other with a smile, knowing how much they've been through and how much they respect one another now, and JJ says, "Yeah, well, I did a damn good job of almost gettin us killed for Sarah to have a chance to even try it."

can you rank top-5 best obx duos for your?

oh, i assume we're talking dynamics, not couples, right? cause if couples, it's very predictable for me to say jiara, cleope, jarah, heywards and rafe/barry? okay, as for dynamics i think my rating looks like this: 1. kiarah 2. jj & john b 3. cambank siblings 4. jj & pope 4. john b & kie so, first one is kie and sarah cause i love some girl power dynamic duo. also, i want to see more of female friendship representation in modern teen dramas. because as a girl who was raised on shows like gossip girl and vampire diaries, i had shitty examples of how girls should interact. so i love kiara's and sarah's dynamic after they became friends again! and maybe it's cause most of their interactions in my mind are headcanons, but they have so much potential to be a healthy female friendship representation, so i hope to see more of them in next season when they are navigating through troubles as young adults. second place is jj and john b, because once again i love best friends. they are a definition of brothers because no matter how pissed they are at each other they will always help one another without even thinking about it. also, i want to add that male friendship in obx doesn't have toxic masculinity involved, so it's a big plus for me as well. okay, do i have to explain about cambank? cause i can write an essay about them. i don't know why there wasn't any scenes with sarah and jj talking about their families. because they are different sides of the same coin. they have shitty fathers and even though these said fathers screwed them up million times, they still love them. jj and sarah can understand each other like no one else. and we had some crumbs of them being there for each other, but i think it's lazy writing because the opportunity is right there, writers just need to add a little effort and explore their friendship more. jjpope dynamic was something i didn't think i'd like from the beginning. however, i felt in love with them after pope's fight with rafe. the way jj was so concerned about his best friend made me actually like them a little, but when jj took a blame for pope i was a goner. they are really a great example of friends that should have nothing in common, but they have genuine friendship. john b and kie is my big brother/little sister duo that we were robbed of for two seasons already, but i hope that they will come back to us in fourth season. they had a great potential since season one, but they were really sidelined, unfortunately. yeah, sorry, so many words here, but i love talking about all the obx-related stuff, soooo

bestie, who's your favourite character this season? cause i can't decide they all are acting very different from who they were in first seasons

oh, i agree with you. this season they all are more mature, right? and the way every pogue had something to learn and accept this season was so great. like even with this whole treasure hunt thing being main focus of the season, writers were able to also focus on each individual growth it's really a tough question because for me this season really highlighted madelyn, madison and rudy acting so much. like these three characters and their journeys were amazing, but the way those three handled them... it's phenomenal. but if we are doing any ranking, i think that it goes this way for me: 1. kie 2. jj/sarah 3. pope 4. cleo 5. john b i really love softie!kie. i was not expecting to see her soft side, but this version of kie became my favourite. miss girl knows what she wants, she is not afraid to be vulnerable and she wears her heart on her sleeve. i am in love with this side of kiara because finally we are seeing her behind the surface. how she acts, how she feels. it's so beautiful and bailey did a great job at portraying it jj and sarah are on the second place together. because of cambank sibling supremacy! just kidding (or not?) so i know many people are annoyed with sarah, but this time her storyline seemed so organic for me. like she is not sure who she is, she has no family, nowhere to live. she sacrificed everything for love and when that love is pulling away she feels lost. so she of course goes to familiar face because let's be real she felt so much safer before she met john b. she is a girl that lost everything to be with a person she loves. so when in the end she makes a choice she fully commits. no hesitation, she jumps right in. i just love her so much. jj is just so much. he has so much emotions boiling in him, but he can't give them away because he thinks that we's nobody. the way he acts during his breakdowns, the way he tries to collect himself, to not get too emotional because his trauma tells him that emotions lead to conflict which leads to physical fight. and i want writers to go deeper with exploring jj's traumas, i really do. so let's hope that this will be a storyline for next season. pope is number three because he was actually okay. i was firstly upset that the writers went with jealousy thing for pope, but the way it was handled is really okay. better than if they didn't address pokie at all. also, there were moments where i liked pope so much. his breakdown is one of them. jd's acting was top tier. also, an accent scene? it was hilarious! cleo is forth because she was just present. i love this girl, but i was hoping that we get to know more about her. like her background, her personal stories, but she was just a supporting character for the most part. i just hope that we get more of her next season because she has great dynamic with whole gang. and special shout out to jj/cleo friendship duo! and john b is fifth. mainly because his storyline was always about treasure hunt and his father. like i loved jarah stuff this season, but other parts of jb's story were just meh . so like sarah said about john b's role in poguelandia - "he was there". that is exactly how i feel about him this season. like he was there, okay. well, that was a long answer! and if you ask me about the characters that i hated this season i'm going to write even longer answer

soooo yes?? good thing I've already started it then right??
