Maeve & Otis, Sex Education

“It’s just a stupid bus.”

[realblrr]

Dear Sex Education,

As I bid you farewell, I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed watching you. At first, I was a bit skeptical because of your title, but later, i was pleasantly surprised! You turned out to be so much more than just a show about sex. You were filled with humor, knowledge, and all the ups and downs of being a teenager and growing into an adult.

I loved how you introduced me to a bunch of amazing characters. Otis 🤪, the main character, was such a relatable and awkward teenager. He had this unique ability to give advice to his classmates about their love lives, even though he struggled with his own 😅😅. Then there's Maeve 🥺🤩, the cool and independent girl who became Otis' partner in running an underground sex therapy clinic at their school. Their friendship was something special.

And let's not forget about Eric 🤠 , Otis' best friend. He was so confident and fabulous, breaking stereotypes and being unapologetically himself. I admired his courage and the way he embraced his true identity. The show did a great job of portraying these characters and their journeys, showing us that there's so much more to people than meets the eye.

So, as I say goodbye to you, Sex Education, I want to thank you for teaching me that appearances can be deceiving and that it's important to keep an open mind. You've left a lasting impression on me, reminding me of the importance of friendship, acceptance, and the rollercoaster ride of growing up.

The school teachers, Adam, Aims and how can i forget Ruby 😍 , Ola and lily hehehehe And that swimmer dude ( he was really nice ) i loved the whole cast , i never studied in a campus like that but when i was watching the series i was feeling myself same as them even though i would never do those weird acts hehehe. I think starting netflix was not a stupid or bad decision from myside......

I'm sure people are mad that Otis and Meave didn't end up together but I actually LOVED that both Otis and Eric ended up single and prioritizing their friendship with each other, theirs was the true love story of the show and we need more emphasis on strong platonic relationships in media in general, I think

[arrozconramen]

My one takeaway from Sex Education (the show)

Spoilers.

Ruby and Otis should have been end game. It's crazy that they were made as an interim to extend the overdone slow-burn that was Meave x Otis. Mostly everyone stopped caring about them even after they finally got together in season three and they don't even end up together by the end so it was a waste of time anyways! The emotional and physical chemistry between Ruby and Otis is too good for this show.

na jakim filmie płakałeś po raz ostatni?

To było na serialu, a dokładniej przy ostatniej scenie w Sex Education jak Otis czytał list od Meave - poryczałem się jak dziecko XD

I think I'll have to punch you in the face if you ever buy me a birthday present again, dickhead.

Oh yeah, he definitely wasn't the most well-liked character, on the account of him getting between Otis and Meave 😅

Thoughts and feelings about Izzy in s2ep4 and what it means to me as a fellow disabled person:

Yeah, so, that episode, huh?

You know, I already knew going into this new season that Izzy's storyline is going to hit me hard regardless of the exact little plot points it might have, but it's only now, several hours after I've watched eps 4&5 that I'm really starting to digest what his story means to me in it's current shape. This is... a bit long. I also mention a character from a different show - Isaac from Sex Education.

Izzy has always been a bit of a dick, right? That's the reason a lot of people hated him in the first season.

Well, now he is a bit of a dick and disabled. And let me tell you how fucking ecstatic I am about that.

You see, looking for disabled characters in media I consume has rarely been gratifying - if they are there at all, which already is rare, they have very little to do, and if they're even semi-important, they're almost always the epitomes of goodness. Nice, understanding, quiet, patient.

Barely there.

The first time I truly felt something change in this area was with the appearance of Isaac in Netflix's Sex Education. He's sarcastic, funny, talented, honest and mean.

The fandom of that show hated Isaac, let me tell you.

It was mostly because he took direct action to separate the main ship of the show that had many people obsessed. As you'd expect. People's ableism immediately jumped out. As you'd expect.

Because how dare he have his own motivations and wants, and to do what he thinks is right?

Barely there.

And now we have Izzy. Izzy, who also did what he thought was right, which in s1 of the show was trying to separate Ed and Stede. He wasn't trying to make himself too likeable at any point (well. when the crew almost mutinied on him in s1 he did do a last ditch effort but. you remember how well that went).

My point is that now we have someone who isn't particularly nice, and now he's dealing with a sudden loss of ability in his body, which is going to make him even worse. He's angry! Of course he is! He's hobbling around with half a leg gone, humiliated, exhausted, barely recovered from impromptu amputation, no anesthesia. And a suicide attempt! He's angry at himself, his body, at Ed, at Stede, at God if he still believes in one, and who knows who else.

He isn't suddenly going to become nicer to people just because. He doesn't need to be humbled.

(a little sidenote: I do not accept the reasoning that Izzy somehow deserved to lose his leg, that "oh what did he expect riling up Ed when he was heartbroken?" etc. He wasn't expecting to get shot in the fucking leg. Nobody fucking deserves that, and if you think that Ed shooting him in the leg and Izzy subsequently having to have it amputated was an "appropriate punishment" for "what he's done", you're just cruel and wrong. Now scram.)

But that's the point. Disabled people deserve help regardless of whether or not we are nice.

Thankfully (not from Izzy's point of view - his pride was definitely bruised in that moment) the crew saw him struggle, and acted in kind. Because Izzy is their dick. And now - also their unicorn.

And it means so much to me that we get the representation of disabled people who thrash around and rattle the bars of their societal cages, furious at the world that isn't welcoming to us, and receive love and care and an invitation to a loving community regardless.

We shouldn't have to be here just when ableds are ready to receive. We aren't meek vessels for your good will. Izzy is such a painfully realistic (as far as the universe of the show permits, given it's unavoidable goofiness) portrayal of the anger of someone who's lost some of their body's past ability, and how one might deal with it.

And I really wanted to say something about that, because I'm afraid it might get lost in the discussion about the more popular and more easily digestible aspects of the show.

"You know in rom-coms, when the guy finally realizes he's in love with the girl, and he turns up with a boom box outside her house, blasting her favorite song, and everyone in the audience swoons? Yeah, that makes me sick."
