HES STANDING LIKE A FUCKING GENTLEMAN, THIS GOOBER IS ADORABLE.

I think sometimes y’all forget that most of the characters in TMF are TEENAGERS.

The youngest member of The Music Club is 15/16. (Milly)

The youngest character in the whole show is 7/8. (Bethany)

The amount of fucking fanart+fanfic I’ve seen has been sexualizing them.

The only time that is somewhat OKAY to show two characters doing “things like that” might be in a future AU, and even then, it’s still kind of messed up.

Like,

Where is TMF mainly set?

A high school!

Who goes to high schools?

Teenagers between the ages of 14-18!!

And teenagers between the ages of 14-18 are..?

MINORS.

Stop fucking sexualizing them you gross weirdos.

[noveunicornreal]

I don’t get how people say Sean is Jake’s best friend and not Hailey. Sean and Jake have no interaction of just them before ep11 because every interaction they have together involves Hailey or Milly. And their actual solo interaction was because of Daisy.

It’s so obvious that they’re just close friends meanwhile Jake and Hailey spend every second together and there’s been almost over 10 scenes in eleven episodes of just Jake and Hailey interacting.

And the weird part is people will literally fight you if you point this out and Sean’s listed as Jake’s best friend on the fandom wiki?

On the topic of that wiki though why is Luke listed as a close friend and Milly isn’t? Milly is so much closer to Jake than half of the club and Luke has actually never had a positive interaction with Jake besides when Luke wrote Meant To Be.

"But Drake is toxic!! You can't ship toxic ships!!"

Yeah, dumbass, that's half of the appeal??? That they are both somewhat toxic towards the other??

Seeing these two idiots who clearly care about each other fuck everything up and hurt themselves and the other so deeply they stop being friends due to poor communication skills on both ends makes them tragic.

Seeing them grow more animosity (? Is that the right word) towards each other and start being enemies hurts knowing how much they truly loved the other at some point, platonically or otherwise. It makes people want to see them work out their differences.

It leaves people wanting to see them get their happy ending, talk it out, become close friends again. And maybe more.

Drew and Jake love and care about each other, whether you interpret that as romantic or not is up to you.

I am not saying you can't dislike Drake, you can. But I am sick and tired of this weird argument I saw floating around.

And the whole "toxic" argument isn't restricted to Drake, it affects other ships I enjoy as well, but I digress.

My main issue is that whenever they bring up the "toxicity", they almost always make Drew out to be the worse of the two.

No, they both sucked.

"But the club-"

This is about Drew and Jake's relationship specifically. Within the confines of their friendship, they both hurt each other unintentionally.

Don't bring up mostly unrelated actions.

I have no fucking idea what happened in the Christmas Special, and I frankly don't care. I won't watch it, because as a wise person once said:

"Canon isn't real if I don't look at it"

And I live by that quote.

Anyways, if you'll excuse me, Imma go back to being autistic about eps 1-5 only

confession #230

drew haters js be projecting atp like js say ure a freak and leave BYEEE

[strawberry-pretzels]

damn jake

[angrycloudcrown]

do you ever have that one interest or fandom that none of your other friends are in so when big news about the series rolls around youre kinda just. stuck with the information rotating in your head like a microwave while you silently go feral in the corner with excitement while also simultaneously suffering?

[speedydestinydream]

Tmf isnt very accurate in many ways but I like to think that one of the main accurate things rosy nailed was the fact that the jomies have been bullies for years and still haven't been (onscreen) punished and not even stopped. You'd think that after middle school to junior year of highschool the school would notice and stop them for good, but guess what! Nope!

[dreamydadie]

stacy sucks

stacy from the music freaks is a one dimensional, useless character that serves nothing to the series besides getting in the way of lander and being a pick me girl.

she's so boring, how could anyone have her as a favorite let alone like her? her design is so mid, and her writing is worse. she's annoying and she also kisses luke without consent (which is something NO ELSE in the series ever did, because zander totally didn't do that either)

and while we're on the subject of the series' character writing, can we talk about zoey? her character is so complex, totally strays away from the stereotypical blonde mean girl – i'm so glad we got to explore the reason why she acts the way she does and how the show definitely explores the subject of her manipulating grown men and her classmates for money! and let's not forget, how the show explored her relationship with lia aka her supposed bff who she totally didn't get over in just a few seconds! wow what a well written and deep character!!

also luke definitely has a character outside being zander's love interest. definitely.

[steezyheadbangr]

little rant abt jenry

jake and henry are aooxks /possxzs (≧▽≦)

the middle school flashback at the begingigb of episode nine was sososozzoso cute (>ω<) it was love at first sight i swesaer !!1! and the fact that henry has canonically wore jakes jacket multiple times is just so so ssososozoosz cute to me i wish they had more screen time tbh..- i hope thatsz they become frinwds againg in season twoowo (┬┬﹏┬┬)'' they awre so cute together they deserve the world and i lovew them :33 if they dont get more screen time is s2 im going to break into rozys house steal her computer and make them canon. it will be canon >:p or else....(j) but i will cry if get zeroe screen time (am normal abt them)

[jakesterling]

I PERSONALLY FEELLLL like she'd be into photography, but had/has(?) to I'm not quite sure if she left the dromies + zoey for good so.. hide and shelter that fact due to disapproval of the friend group she chose. I also can see her being super into those corny romance drama shows

She definitely also yearns for what Hailey has because she's well jealous. She probably thinks she doesn't have any musical talent and thinks the music club wouldn't welcome her as easy as they did Jake (even though it took them a minute to warm up to him, especially Zander.) I think shes gonna stay on the down low for the first few episodes of season2 and only really talking to Jake because her being scared Zoe's gonna try and expose her or do something to mess another thing up simply for revenge if Zoe finds out. I really need to see Lia and Hailey become friends again.. they're making me tweak out ☹️☹️ (I love Hailey x Lia☝️)

Anyway what do you all think are Lia's hobbies and interests??? Like what does she do in her spare time besides watch TikTok or how she used to just be around the jomies and say she's bored because Jake isn't there to keep her company... Like what would she be passionate about?? I can sorta imagine fashion being one of her hobbies but it more feels like a thing she feels pressured to do so she could be liked by others more like how she changed herself to please others 😭😭

[ghostify--2]

Zander. Guys. Some of you just don’t GET HIM. I have ranted about this a million times and I will rant about it again. Zander has trust issues, and he’s generally cynical. The episode that was based around mostly him was CALLED Trust Issues (episode 2). This guy has childhood trauma. His dad either up and left without warning, or was awful enough for Shannon to file for divorce. Either way, that definitely impacts Zander’s ability to trust people, because he’s been hurt in the past by someone he trusted, or should have been able to trust.

So when Jake, someone who’s been bullying Zander and Hailey for a long time, someone who Zander wouldn’t have ever trusted in the first place, comes along and tries to join a safe space, Zander is obviously upset. Nobody wants their safe place to be invaded by someone who deliberately hurts them every single day.

In episode 11, he convinced Hailey not to trust Jake again. Zander gave Jake one chance to prove he was trustworthy, and Jake failed to do so. Zander’s trust was broken, and it’s understandable, especially with his past, that he wouldn’t forgive Jake.

Now… the fan content… how they portray Zander… I have to admit, I watch tmf reaction videos on the regular. It’s my strange addiction 💀 but with watching every single video comes seeing the ones that mischaracterize the HELL out of Zander. I’m sure this happens in other types on fan content as well. So many people will make Zander completely heartless, devoid of any empathy, even when being shown that Jake is SUICIDAL. What. Guys. He’s a person as well, yk? Just because he was mad at Jake for breaking his trust, and for doing something that Zander very clearly told him would get him kicked out, doesn’t mean that he’s not going to care if Jake is struggling like that. Zander cares about people, even if he comes off as cynical, rude, and harsh

People need to STOP mischaracterizing him!!

[rextile]

was rewatching tmf and noticed a few things

i swear i could talk about these idiots for hours

the fact they look at eachother and mind read or whatever they do before acting on anything tickles the funny part on my body

notice how the girls are smiling and henry isnt

NOTICE HOW DREW IS SMILING BUT YOU CANT SEE HENRY DOING THE SAME??

and even though lia was revealed as “not evil just jealous” or something (and never even said anything during this scene) she was definitely in on whatever this is

i dont think they really planned this whole “make jake explode out of pressure” and intentionally manipulated him like evil masterminds but they definitely knew atleast half of what they’re doing

im talking about zoey, drew and lia, btw. i dont BELIEVE henry and liam even knew what was happening. just LOOK AT THEM. THEY LOOK CONFUSED AS HELL!!! especially in the part where drew is talking here

they are so. damn. oblivious to EVERYTHING GOING ON AROUND THEM.

while drew and zoey proceed to spit bullcrap claims about hailey, henry and liam just say things that jake already knew. sean and daisy “dating”. and that was probably the only thing henry and liam knew aswell

JAKE WAS CONVINCED ABOUT SAISY DATING UNTIL SEAN HAD TO SAY IT TO HIS FACE THAT THEY WERENT

defending these boys with my life rn *sobs*

and i have reached the maximum pictures you can put in one post so this will be the end of my teeny tiny rant

[sobeksewerrat]

HYPERANALYZING/ SCREAMING ABOUT EP.3 COZ IT IS MY FAVOURITE AND I AM REWATCHING IT LET'S GOOOO

Disclaimer: this post is literally just me talking about how much I kin Milly and technically a combined liveblog

Oh look it's one of Taylor's bullies from BWBL!!

Also, what the music freak is this shitty pop song playing in the back ground man I'm-

Why is the school nurse running around like that-

Gotta love how everyone just rushes over to see Milly fight, and that Jake knows exactly who they're talking about (even though they've been friends for like 2 weeks). Really shows how much of a negative-ish reputation Milly has (relatable man)

Fuck Miss Jones man she sucks she can't even break off a fight who hired this bitch.

I really like the fight scene, Luke's animation is kinda wonky but I really miss seeing Kurie's animation!! I really miss the old GL episodes, they were just so much more well-written, and the amount of editing done by Rosy in them is really underrated like they seriously look so good considering how limited GL was.

God, seeing Milly fight for something Zoey stole is really fucking relatable. Like, my bullies always steal my books, my sketchbooks, my pencil case..etc. and I always get in trouble when I try to wrestle them for it. Like, I get yelled at and keep getting told "You're a girl you shouldn't be fighting with anybody!" and all they get for pushing me over the edge is a slap on the wrist, schools are really unfair (and then adults wonder why we don't talk to them about shit).

Dear Rosy Jake is so pathetic he literally gets thrown away by just a punch I'm-

Fuck you Luke

Zoey calling Milly an animal is um, weird, to say the least.

Um, side note, I really forgot how weird Henriam were in the first few episodes- like you could see the basis of their characters as we know them now being established but it's still so weird seeing them like this (also Henry is almost Liam's height in GL which makes me want to die)

Imma just skip over the Miss Jones scene I practically said everything I have to say but before that Drew was too much of a dick in this episode in an unlikeable way like THANK GOD he's barely in this one and seeing Lia flirting with Jake feels very wrong for some reason. Still love her GL outfit though <33

Wow Hailey I am so glad to know you care more about the competition than Milly <444/sarcasm

FUCKING HYPOCRITE- (jk I love GL era Hailey <44)

Seeing the club pressuring Milly to talk speaks to me on a weirdly personal level. Everyone wants me to talk about my feelings, but have you ever considered that I don't want to talk about them? That I am still not comfortable enough to let you in? To let you see that I am vulnerable? To actually confront the fact that I am not okay? I know the music club and the ppl ik irl genuinely mean well, but sometimes people aren't willing to talk, and you should respect that. Sometimes, just being there to keep us company and not judge us is enough, yk?

Side note: can really relate to Milly's reflex of hitting people when they get too close, I literally have to stop myself from punching my own mother whenever she grabs my arm or something I fucking hate being touched and I like the nice detail of Zander smiling when he found out who punched Jake.

Honestly, fuck Zander man. I joked about Hailey not caring about Milly's feelings, about Zander straight up doesn't care.

He is a straight up reminder of my one of my bullies and all the adults in my life. Fuck you Zander.

"Does the band mean nothing to you?"

DO MILLY'S FEELINGS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU ZANDER?!?

[Cries in this is super relatable]

"Great...she's on a rampage again"

Um...so, the girl being on the verge of a breakdown and being understandably angry at her bullies and her friends being extremely inconsiderate is considered being on a rampage? Damn, Sean, why do people even like you man.

So...you WANT to have control over her?? Idk man I am really mad at zander rn

"We can deal with whatever's bothering you, together!"

"Milly, I'm worried about you."

I already elaborated on this point but I just want to talk about how much I love Hailey in the first 4 episodes she was literally an awesome queen what happened to her 😭

God I love Redemption so fucking much it is literally the best song and musical scene in TMF /gen

Love the foreshadowing to Lia's redemption in the scene where they're bullying Milly btw, Rosy is awesome when it comes to subtlety (that is how you spell it right-?)

"🎵But you keep trying to get too close🎵"

Literally on the verge of tears this song (and whole episode tbh) hits way too close to home/gen (i feel like I have to keep clarifying how genuine I bcuz I don't think people realize how emotional this gacha series can make me)

"🎵Saved myself by turning into stone🎵"

[In tears] I swear people really underestimate how fucked up someone's psyche can be when they're all cheery and hyper. Media has made us believe that people who bottle up emotions are all cold and depressed but really the most cheerful people you knew tend to be the most depressed. The only other major examples from my fandoms that fit this category that I can think of are KEL from Omori and Kokichi form Dangan, but I feel like KEL fits this statement more that Ouma tbh

"🎵So save your judgement 'cause you just don't know🎵"

REAL. AND THE CAMERA PANNING TO ZANDER WAS JUST *chef's kiss* I SWEAR ROSY IS REALLY GOOD AT SHOWING EMOTION.

"🎵And they keep coming like moth to flame🎵"

People want a reaction. Adults keep telling you to just ignore the bullies and they'll go away, but they never will because they KNOW they're getting under your skin and they'll continue teasing you till you snap and they'll only stop when it's already too fucking late.

"🎵Redemption never came🎵"

This. This line is perfect and it is the perfect ending to the song. People are so quick to judge and tell you you need to change but they never stop to get to know the real you, they never stop to actually help you change, and you'll always be the villain in the end.

"Milly seems really important to these guys"

YA THINK?!?!

"I'm missing chunks of my hair because of her!"

Zoey please marry me 💖

"They must be talking about Milly..."

Yeah, no shit, Sherlock

"I can't believe she has a crush on that nerd!"

Me neither, Zoey, Milly is wayyyy above his league.

"You...blackmailed your friend for me?"

Also, being bullied for a crush is soo real. Like, I am aroace so I wasn't bullied for HAVING a crush, I was bullied for being a "pick me" because I just so happened to be close friends with a guy and they were all accusing us of dating (this is like a big deal here since dating is very frowned upon, especially for AFABs; so they KNEW they were gonna tank my reputation and ruin my life basically. I can't tell you the amount of teachers who would look at me weird when I talked to my guy friends)- anyways this barely has anything to do with Milly or tmf but this is my blog I do whatever

[EDIT: A WHOLE CHUNK OF THE RANT WAS DELETED?? I AM REWRITING IT NOW]

"Y'know, what? I think I might go see what Drew's up to, I've yet to tell him about how I saw you with your sugar daddy last weekend"

This was the moment I started hating Jake. I didn't like him before, but I started loathing him at that moment.

I have been cheated on before, and if my friends knew and didn't tell me I would have killed them.

"But drew wouldn't have believed him!" Well, he believed him in ep 10, didn't he? And Henriam would have been there to back him up anyways.

Another question I have regarding this is how on earth did he blackmail her?! Liek he didn't have a photo or anything.

AND WHY ISNT HE CONCERNED ABOUT ZOEY GOIGN OUT WITH AN ADULT!??!

"Aw, you two looked very cozy together"

His tone reminds me of my abuser and I don't like. It has nothing to do with the essay, but I wanted to point it out. It really got under my skin.

"Just...please don't tell Drew about what you saw"

Is ti just me or does she seem genuinely sad?? Like her conscience is tormenting her?? Idk man maybe I am just reading into this way too much but- [pulls out ancient tmf theories about Zoey being forced into this by sb and actually being in love with Drew]

"I can't believe those girls, snooping into people's diaries like that"

And you can believe Jake blackmailing Zoey?? I get you're still salty about Lia but cmon Hailey give the man some consequences

[INSERT DEAN SCENE HERE]

MR.BROOOOOOOOOOOM

GOD HER TONE IS JUST- LIKE, SHE'S UNCERTAIN ABOUT JAKE'S METHOD [PROBABLY] BUT SHE CANT BELIEVE SOMEBODY CARES ABOUT HER THAT MUCH OH MY- SOMEBODY GIVE HER A HUG PLEASE SHE NEEDS IT

I SWEAR IF I SEE SOMEBODY ELSE CALL HER CARDBOARD LIEK THE ANON DID I WILL KILL YHEM

"Um...well, when you put it like that-"

Jesus Christ this man doesn't even realize what he did.

That final interaction with Milly and Jake where they reflect on the whole thing is just- beautiful, awesome, fantastic. It's really sweet and I love seeing Milly finally being comfortable enough to talk about her feelings (even if she isn't being too specific or conveying all of her feelings)

Why does Elliot look like that.

Milly why do you like this guy.

Anyways, I love the sound effects Rosy used to add whenever people would blush, I miss it (iirc it isn't in any of the new ep)

GOD I MISSED HE INTRO/OUTRO SONG SO MUCH NOSTALGIA-

Anyways, I love this episode, this is peak TMF and it makes me angry to see how Milly was reduced to comic relief in the end.

I would write a proper conclusion but I am too fucking lazy

Bye freaks
