#i never got around to the jeroy arc as a kid bc i didnt even know there was an s3

[scripturiends]

sorry this is my last jeroy brainrot for the day. that scene of jerome asking joy out is immaculate. the background music made it feel all that more romantic, and the shots were Everything.

like the fact that joy was elevated on the stairs with the stained glass right behind her made it feel like an actual proposal. and jerome’s shy “say yes”… i rewatch that scene over and over just to hear it again. and when joy smiles shyly after being called adorable - it’s a face that she used to only reserve for fabian.

and obviously the dialogue… “so you’d wash a dog for me?” “okay so it’s not climbing a mountain” (which i feel like echoes all of the lengths jerome felt like he needed to go to in his past relationship/s just to win their hearts or keep them around) and joy reassuring him with “no i think it’s better” basically just saying that it’s not about what you do it’s about who you’re with and im :((((

that scene in itself was already a good preface to what made them different and what made them work well together. jerome didn’t have to do anything grand, and joy promised him that it was okay. that he was enough regardless.
