Julio Spring, let's have a chat.

I find this man hard to write about because sometimes he makes himself exactly what his son needs, and other times he's almost damagingly quiet. Without knowing too much about Julio's past (I think I've read everything Alice has written about him, but for the purposes of this post I'm going to focus mainly on what we know from the show), it can be hard to parse his motivations and actions. But one thing we know for sure is that Julio is deeply concerned for Charlie.

The most poignant scene between them is obviously when Julio hugs Charlie after Harry's party. He can sense immediately that something is wrong, very wrong, but has the intuition and sensitivity to push aside the intense curiosity he must be feeling about why, or the details of what happened, and addresses the most pressing issue--Charlie's need for comfort and support.

Though we never see it on screen, or even much in the books aside from some narrative flashbacks, this must be a tragically familiar scenario for Julio; after all, he's been through at least a year or more of dealing with the aftermath of the bullying Charlie experiences. How achingly difficult must it be for Julio to repeat "it's going to be okay" to his son when he knows there's a good chance it might not ever be truly okay. The trust that Charlie must have in Julio to allow himself to fall apart in front of him indicates that Julio must have handled those past crises with enough care to make Charlie see him as a safe space. [And we can't assume that Julio is safe for Charlie just because he's his father--Alice makes it clear in other storylines that safety with family is far, far from a given.]

Julio has gone through this enough times that, when it's time to drop Charlie off at the cinema, he's clearly torn between allowing Charlie the freedom he needs, and the space to make his own judgments about what he can handle, versus his parental desire to protect Charlie from harm. The fact that he gives Charlie that space earns him a lot of respect in my eyes.

Afterward, he can tell that the conversation between Charlie and Ben was an antagonistic one, and that his concerns were valid. There's nothing worse as a parent than anticipating hurt for your child and then having that fear come true. But Julio doesn't push, or dig for more. Maybe he should have, but those calls are always hard to make, and even harder to judge from the outside.

A lot of Julio's tender and caring moments happen in the first season, so it's hard to watch in season two when there are many scenes where Julio is so obviously upset, worried, or angry, and yet does nothing. Sometimes, admittedly, it's hard to know what to do, and that's valid, but we need him to try.

We need Julio, who understands Jane and where she's coming from at least a little better than Charlie does, to step in and mediate when she's clearly letting her own past and her parents' critical behavior impact how she's interacting with her son.

We need Julio to follow up on his concern, that niggling worry and doubt that he has, about Charlie not eating and isolating himself.

We need Julio to object when he witnesses Charlie engaging in negative self-talk, to bolster his son with words of support.

Julio Spring is a good dad who cares incredibly deeply for a son he can't always completely understand, but there's room for growth here too. I really hope we get to see that in season 3.

*And fear not, the infamous hanky panky conversation will get its own post.

Dr Fate: “I see your fate, Y/N L/N. You are the one he will need. He is the one you will need against the eternal darkness of Darkseid .”

Y/N: “Don’t be cryptic. I hate, cryptic.”

Dr Fate: “Just remember that when the time is right, you’ll be the one to bring him back to the light and out of the shadows of evil.”

I know we all talk about how painful it will be to watch Kit and Joe’s season 3 performances … and it’s 100% real. However, I raise you another painful performance in the future:

Joseph Balderrama as Julio Spring

Think about it. Think about Julio comforting Charlie in the car after the party. Think about how worried he is during drop-off and pick-up at the movie theater.

Worse still, think about the sadness in his eyes as he listens to Nick confront his father about not taking an interest in his life.

Now picture him as Charlie tells his parents about his struggles with eating. We are not prepared, or at least I’m not.

I am crying. Squealing. Smiling like a fool. Shaking. Can't even contain the excitement I'm feeling right now. This has without a doubt been the best day ever ❤️

I've met a lot of people today, but two of them I never thought I'd be so lucky to meet.

You're not gonna find a person more kind, open and wholesome than Charlie. When I told him how much he and Matt Murdock means to me, how he's the reason I've found so many incredible friends here, he got really emotional and said how much that meant for him to hear. And he called me "love" and squeezed my hand 🫠

Later at the photo op, he gave me a hug (because he recognized me) and complimented my DD tattoo (he said it was cool and that he loved it).. So... A hug, a "Love", him remembering me and just so much kindness from this man? I can die happy now 🫠❤️

I said before you're not gonna find a person more kind than Charlie, but okay. Maybe Joseph. So kind and sweet with his fans, really making sure we feel special. I got to thank him (I was an Eddie growing up, so him bringing a character like that to life means everything to me) and I could feel that it genuinely means a lot for him to hear.

He also gave my hand a comforting squeeze (What can just say? I was a mess) and a hug. He thought my Stranger Things tattoo was incredible, so.. Another reason to die happy 😆❤️

This is a day I'll never forget ❤️

Nelson’s signal at Trafalgar

The first edition of Popham’s Telegraphic Signals or Marine Vocabulary was printed in 1800; a more comprehensive version was produced in 1803, and a further much expanded edition using letters as well as numbers in 1812. This was issued to the navy in 1813, and from that time, vocabulary signals were part of the official flag signalling code of the Royal Navy.

Nelson’s signal to the fleet before the beginning of the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805 read ENGLAND EXPECTS THAT EVERY MAN WILL DO HIS DUTY and was made in Popham’s vocabulary, using the numerical flags of the general Signal Book as re-arranged in 1803. The signals officer of the Victory at the time was Lieutenant John Pasco, who gave, many years later, this account of the incident:

His Lordship came to me on the poop, and after ordering certain signals to be made, about a quarter to noon, he said, ‘Mr Pasco, I wish to say to the fleet, “England confides that every man will do his duty”’, and he added, ‘you must be quick for I have one more to make, which is Close Action’. I replied, ‘if your Lordship will permit me to substitute the “expects” for “confides”, the signal will soon be completed, because the word “expects” is in the vocabulary, and “confides” must be spelt.’ His Lordship replied in haste, and with seeming satisfaction, ‘That will do, Pasco, make it directly’; when it had been answered by a few ships in the van, he ordered me to make the signal for Close Action and to keep it up, accordingly I hoisted No. 16 at the top-gallant mast-head and there it remained until shot away.

— Timothy Wilson, Flags at Sea

In J.M.W. Turner's 1822 painting, The Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805, part of the word DUTY may be seen in the visible signal flags of HMS Victory.

Tiny Review: Greedy People 2024. Coen-esque Crime.

Really strong start. Interesting, colorful characters. Rollercoaster murder mystery plot. A ton of good lines. The framing device is odd to me though.  

Really coen-esque. Fans of the crime genre will enjoy this.

Reminds me a lot of Fargo, Pulp Fiction, Red Rock West, Last Stop In Yuma County, LaRoy Texas, Maggie Moore(s), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Logan Lucky.

Greedy People is a 2024 American crime comedy film directed by Potsy Ponciroli and written by Michael Vukadinovich. The film stars Himesh Patel, Lily James, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Simon Rex, Tim Blake Nelson, Joey Lauren Adams, Uzo Aduba, and Jim Gaffigan.
