Hi, I'm wondering if Bravo/Echo/Tango/Delta/Falco or any other member of the Jolly Wrenches Squadron, or even Kittyhawk (not exactly a Jolly Wrencher), plays an orchestral instrument?

Cuz I'm sort of a fan of symphony and wind orchestras, and the Jolly Wrenches somehow remind me of several excellent concerts performed by the United States military bands ♪^_^

I have a good feeling most of the members probably do, mostly just from picking up instruments in school and whatnot, but likely just a small handful of them still play anything. I could see Bravo [hoomanyzed] struggling to remember how to strum on a guitar, while Echo is still very painfully well rehearsed with a trombone.

I also think even guys like Flysenhower and Kittyhawk know/knew some stuff. The former really strikes me as having known either piano or cello in his formative years (in WoC form this is from the pre-boat time, all that - and if that completely confuses you, let me refer you to my "naval boats aren't born boats" headcanon from 'The Decision' on AO3) As for Kittyhawk? His pittie days were on the front lines of the marching band, and that kindred spirit stays with him on the ocean. He can - and will - still sound off some of those old tunes today. Different body, same heart. He will not hesitate to get sentimental every time a band plays.

Went outside yesterday and there was much lamentation that the tall grasses were neither tall nor green

And like, it wasn't planned for the cabin to cheer either. Someone fromnthe extras said they weren't told what the scene primarily was about, so it was just their reaction which yeah, fandom reaction.

And even though it's not, I like to think of it as inner monologue, like it's there minds screaming 'fucking finally!'

Or maybe those girls don't see much happiness, or that's what they dream of, escaping and its happening right in front of them after seeing that declaration? Idk

And don't get me wrong, the cleope kiss was cute and all but it was kinda cliche too. The whole 'we might die, so I need to tell you now'? Yeah not as memorable.

The first time I saw the jiara kiss I was… disappointed to say the least. It was a very pretty kiss don’t get me wrong but the cheering immediately caught me off guard; it felt so out of place with the heaviness of the moment, and it almost felt like it’s taking away from it. Then I went on Twitter and saw ppl call it a ‘Disney channelesque kiss’ to make fun of it and got even more upset. But I’ve rewatched the season now, and especially the kiss scene, and I found that -and maybe I’m just delusional please tell me if I’m talking out of my a** 😭- it was actually… incredibly sweet? It was cheesy as hell, like something you’d see in an old romcom at the very end; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. after everything they’ve been through, after JJ feeling like he isn’t worthy of love, let alone Kiaras, for the entire season, fighting it with all his might- he deserved that. They both deserved a cheesy as hell romcom public confession with people cheering them on. Almost everyone in their life is against them being together, and so to have their kiss be celebrated like that, like it’s something good, actually fits really well. Idk, maybe I’m starting to lose my marbles but now everytime I watch it I get emotional at the confession and then start cheesing like a loser at the kiss. Just hope they get a more private one with better lighting in s4. Sorry for the rant btw <3

No, I actually love the kiss scene. At first my reaction was semi similar to yours; I was disappointed by the lighting and I don’t usually like intimate scenes watched by other people in ships. However, it was definitely a pandering move to Jiara shippers as well as a nod to them and it’s a move that works for me. I can see why it’s not for everyone and definitely isn’t what we imagined, but this show has always been cheesy and over the top. I mean do people not remember when John B screamed “I don’t care about your boyfriend with his frosted tips” in the Jarah kiss? Jiara aren’t cheesy people, so this was their way of making their kiss more dramatic/memorable. I know a lot do people were saying they liked cleope’s kiss better which is fair, but which one are people going to remember in ten years? The pretty well lit kiss with pretty scenery and an adorable but relatively casual confession or the one where he snuck into a cabin full of girls and everyone cheered when they kissed? This is NOT a knock on cleope because I loved them and their kiss but memorability wise it’s something to consider.

Don’t let people make you stupid for liking something. They’re all watching the boat show too so like?? However, all that said; I do wish we had gotten a second one that was private and in better lighting in the finale!
