watching the nickel apology scene from the great bluish bakery over and over going completely insane. i could rewrite this to actually sound like nickel.
#juice.txt#ii nickel#nickel ii#vague ii neg be warned#ohhhh i feel CRAZY#the quality of nickel's writing takes a nosedive at the end of s3 and it kills me#ive been doing a rewatch of ii where i take notes and focus on nickel and balloon specifically for fun#and nickel starts to talk pretty ooc around spring on the breakfast#and it only gets worseeeee#theres nothing wrong with having nickel care for and love balloon (slash platonic for the sake of my analysis)#but. nickel loves differently than what they write love to look like#he's not 'Correct' about how he loves and he's awkward and uncomfortable about anything emotional#and it just disappoints me to see all that inexperience go away because its convenient or it 'proves he's a good person'#watch the scene where nickel comforts baseball in mazed and confused for a lovely example of how he handles emotional situations#with someone he cares about truly#his comfort is awkward and he ends up insulting baseball anyway but you can tell he is trying despite his struggles.#and that makes way more sense than nickel suddenly knowing everything to do and being willing to do it#WILLING to be vulnerable and to take full responsibility and to somehow articulate himself so perfectly it'd make therapists weep#thats not nickel. thats a script for a character that the writers wanted to redeem without knowing exactly Why he was so cruel#ok i rambled a lot the nickel hyperfixation is just at a boiling point these past few days
