#jj and frankie

[meljwrites]

guys I am not a fan of the way they're trying to make me feel bad for JJ rn

"Dad none of my mates will talk to me 🥺" omg I wonder why

yeahhh it doesnt feel great but i do like that they are showing the complexity of darren and jjs relationship, like he hates him but he is still his son and it is hurting him to see him suffering, but he is also guilty about feeling that way.

Idk i really like complex emotional depth and I would love to see more Darren and his conflicting feelings bc he plays it so well.

Like "cancer is bad and i don't want anyone to have to go through it" and "rapists are pieces of shit and should be punished severely" can both be true!!

Frankie’s story this series does a couple interesting things. again we get an Hey! Vous Autre segment where his exes spill the tea, again he’s distracted from the games, he’s no longer scoring, and he’s not around when the team isn’t playing. in s2 when Fish stopped scoring, Sanger issued the ultimatum, ‘score us a goal or you’re cut’, and it wasn’t a threat. granted, Shoresy isn’t scoring either, but it’s repeatedly pointed out that he finds other ways to contribute, which Frankie isn’t doing. he’s not skating, hitting, or fighting, he’s just floating. and we know what Shoresy and Nat think about floaters, about players who don’t hate to lose.

in @undeadasdisco’s post from 28 October 2023, they argue that “the scene where jj’s exes collectively shit on his diet and weight is not supposed to be something you agree with or like. you are supposed to come out of that scene hating the way jj is being treated.” at the time, this seemed completely correct. in light of the follow-up scene in s3, though, it now appears that it’s a set-up to establish that Frankie is a chronic floater in all aspects of his life. just like in his hockey career, he’s simply not putting any effort into his love life.

all these women are interested in him, for whatever reason, and the moment he feels like he ‘has’ them, he consistently takes their affection for granted, he behaves as a slob, he doesn’t take any care of himself, and he messes them around emotionally and cheats on them. every. time. Laurence even gave him a second chance, and he immediately squandered it by trying to get her to agree to a threesome, i. e., allowing him to sleep with someone else.

this consistent demonstration that Frankie doesn’t care about anyone but himself is the exact opposite of the ideal hockey player that Nat and Shoresy hold dear, and the opposite of their organisation’s core philosophy: by the community, for the community. Shoresy is a hockey player, so despite not wanting to, he spends his time and effort to give back to the community. Frankie is nowhere to be found during the salmon arms or the webisode. Shoresy sacrifices his body, takes injury after injury, protecting his fellow players on the ice. Frankie never once makes the same sacrifice and only scores one goal the entire tournament.

last series it appeared that Shoresy and Hitch were one end of a spectrum, wanting adult relationships and stability, with Goody and Dolo on the other end, chasin’ skirt and never looking back, and Frankie in the middle, taking his first steps from being more like the younger guys to being more like the more mature guys. this series we see that’s not the dichotomy we’ve been shown at all; rather, it’s the ideal hockey player, an acolyte of the sport, as embodied by Waffle, versus the poseur, the hockey ‘lifestyle’ guy, as embodied by Frankie.

Discussion: Not enough Ted Hitchcock fan fiction. In fact, not ANY. So what would Ted Hitchcock 's love language be?

Someone better got Suzanne out of this village before I TAKE HER OUT. I've been hating on her for a bit bc she very obviously favours JJ over Frankie but this solidifies it for me.

I just watched the latest episode of Hollyoaks and I'm not myself. How could Suzanne do this to her own daughter?? Like I legit don't understand? Frankie is also her child? How could she choose a that vile predator over a victim? My heart is breaking for Frankie...
