The Buccaneers (TV Series 2023– )

oh god poor jean. i really hope she becomes friends with the girls, she seems so sweet & the way theo’s treated her from the moment we saw her honestly disgusts me. even before he met nan, he was absolutely refusing to even attempt a proper conversation with her despite her genuinely trying to talk to him JUST because he was spiteful about being set up with anyone, & now he’s using her as a pawn in his bro drama, with no regard to her feelings??? like hello, she’s a human being?? it’s not her fault you guys live in a fucked up hierarchical society, she’s under just as much (if not more) pressure as you & deserves basic respect!!! jesus fucking christ
