[barrys-chico-rico]

love that Topper and Rafe (literal psychopaths who’ve committed multiple crimes) were disturbed by the murder of a baby turtle.. guess that’s where they draw the line

[rafe-cameron]

WE GOT APPROVED FOR SEASON 4 LETS GOOO 🤙🤙🤙

[lifeluvrr]

OUTER BANKS SEASON THREE SPOILERS!!!!!!

You Have Been Warned.

also pls leave your opinions cus im curious.

i am quite literally just not a fan of this season 😭😭 it felt almost completely different from the first two seasons. i didn’t like how the group didn’t seem to get many scenes together, it was always like jj and kiara scene, cleo and pope scene, and then john b and sarah scene. the groups were so separated to me and i despised it!!! the group dynamic?? just felt all weird idk maybe that’s just me! it just felt like strangers things s4 and the way they had the california group, hawkins group, and russia group.

i am Happy I Guess for jiara shippers but i couldn’t stand whatever angst thing they had going on throughout the season. Again, that could just be me cus i ain’t a jiara stan to begin with.

i didn’t quite care for the carlos singh. for lack of a better word, i thought he was unnecessary. he was kinda just there for me idk

I think rafe’s “love interest” was out of nowhere. i didn’t really care for her and i guess she was there specifically to knock some sense into rafe for that One Thing but other than that, she seemed random.

i hated sarah cheating on john b. it wasn’t out of character i guess?? no offense sarah i love u with my whole body. i just didn’t like it.

jj way just not jayjaying this season for me. Still love him to death. OH AND IDK WHY THEY WROTE EVERYONE RANDOMLY STARTING TO CALL HIM JAYJ?? Like im sure they didn’t it a couple of times it the other seasons but man this season like everytime they were speaking to him, they were saying jayj

topper burning down the chateau. Boooooooo thumbs down.

I genuinely feel like they didn’t know what else to do with limbrey cus her ending was like a bit eh yk

i think the last few episodes did feel like the other seasons, like when john b and jj were together. i wish there was more jj and pope cus there was like absolutely none this season. i wish there was more kie and john b. i wish there was more kie and pope. BASICALLY like what i said in the first paragraph.

ANYWAY THINGS I DID LIKE!!!

I LOVE CLEO AND POPE they mean the world to me. I love how heyward and mama heyward are with cleo and how they were willing to give her a place to stay. i love cleo talking pope out of shooting rafe. i love their no love club. AND THEIR KISS!!! UGH!!! i would dee eye ee for them.

john b and sarah felt the same Minus the cheating. i know they r soooo cheesy but i am a sucker for it idc!

i loovvveeeddd kie this season like she wasn’t that different but something Was different i can’t put my finger on it.

SARAH GETTING HER OWN EPISODES <33333 they were a bit cheesy with the “my heart chooses which side im on” “idk who i am, pogue or kook” but to be fair, she has been through a lot so i can understand the identify crisis or whatever!

ward and his flashbacks of sarah got me. i Know he cares for sarah like a lot. OH AND THEN THE LIKE PARALLEL!! ward being like “you won’t shoot me” (i can’t remember exactly what he said obviously) and rafe hesitating but with sarah she didn’t even hesitate. i was like jaw dropped cus i already knew sarah ain’t like her father too much anymore after s2 but idk that really solidified it with me. And how much rafe genuinely cares for his father.

Stan Pope Heyward

[aquariusqueen94]

The newest season of Outer Banks was amazing! Kie’s parents are still the fucking worst though. Like I know I’ve watched the show a number of times, but since the first watch and first season, Pope has had the best parents. Topper’s mom is an even bigger stuck up bitch then she was in the first season. No wonder Topper is such a shit head.

[indefenseofjoy]

Live blogging OBX S3 as a Venezuelan (as in, the country  part of this shitshow is supposed to be taking place)

Let me preface this by saying that I love this shitshow. It is shitty af and I love it.

 Now I’m just going to be ranting about the things that concern the Orinoco and Venezuela only, not my opinion on the season in general. Also I’ve never bee to the part of the country the show alludes to I’ve only ever been to Apure not the Delta... but all of this is common knowledge. This is mostly composed of a series of texts (translated) that I sent to another Venezuelan friend who is also a fan of the show... Enjoy

Oh and spoilers

-��"Onece we get to Orinoco" o "We need to go to Orinoco" as if it wasn't a goddamned river it is “the Orinoco”

- they named Venezuela and apparently john b knows that the river is here

- Imma allow suspension of disbelief here - There neither are nor were indigenous populations in the Venezuelan territory with a written language of their own, but imma let it pass for the plot...

- What kind of sorry excuse of a lame ass archeologist -like not even archeologist just person who went to primary school  - thinks that a thing found in Delta Amacuro (That’s the name of the estate where the Orinoco Delta is) is Mayan?

- Pointing to a map that clearly says "Venezuela" (it even has names of cities like “Barcelona” and “Maturin”  "you pointed to just South America, you know that?"  It only fucking shows a part of Venezuela 

- Bitch! The guajiros founded El Dorado by the Orinoco!!  for reference I attach a map showing where the Guajiros are located and where this show is trying to make you think El Dorado is (for reference the trip by car nowadays, it’d be at least 14 hours): Green: where the Guajiros are located (just in Venezuela, they are also in Colombia) Red: The Orinoco River (Just the Venezuelan part of the river) Pink: What the previous map kind of showed Yellow: Apure, the part or the Orinoco I’ve alluded to (Kind of self promo go see the NGO I work with)

- Look the guajiros still exist, they are alive and not well they are actually literary starving, but they are not Caribe (the wider etnia the Kalinagos belong to)...

- the river guide called josé - that narrows it down...

- JJ has a point, he doesn’t have a passport, but further than that, people from the US need a Visa to get to Venezuela and they can’t get that Visa because Venezuela closed their embassies in the US - just pointing it out, though I’m going to let it pass for the plot 

- A ride to South America? the deal with Barracuda Mike is not very specific... What if he takes he drugs to Chile? the trip from Chile to Venezuela is longer than the trip from anywhere in the USA to Venezuela? And I doubt Barracuda Mike is taking his drugs to Venezuela, the Venezuelan drug trade does not need discreet transportation believe me...

- I’ll give it to them the Orinoco they show looks like the Orinoco I’ve seen in real life and in pictures

- The Orinoco a graveyard of empires... not really unless you count the War of Independence...

- JJ is going to end up in fucking Uruguay if he doesn’t start being more specific...

-I’m not sure “Tres Rocas” exists, but I know a lot of places here that don’t show up on google maps...

- Why the fuck are the people in Tres Rocas partying with dusters? Though we do love unsafe fireworks handling, national pastime right there

- they do get the license plates right 

- Well I assume they can’t find the José who owns a “panga” because “panga” in Venezuela means either a type of fish, a dumb person or a cigarette, like I had to google what a panga was.... they are probably mean a José with the “curiara” or with the “chalana” most probably a chalana... Suprise they didn’t get like kidnapped or scammed

- ...Anyways how come no one in this place is named José? Not even José without a chalana?

- Love the random black and white print of Bolívar on Singh’s place, really dirves home the “we are in Venezuela” thing...

- JAJAJAJAJAJAJA they think a wad like that of bolívares is enough for a trip like that one JAJAJAJAJA that’s less than 10$ I can assure you... And I can also assure you that no one in a remote Venezuelan town that close to the border takes bolívares, they only deal in US dollars and I guess that in the Delta: Guyanese Dollars....

- Btw it was indeed a chalana

- Just a thought... these people are going to get yellow fever or tb or something, are they even vaccinated against that sort of thing?

- “Guajiro” is pronounced is pronounced “whoo- ah- hee- roh” no “Whoa-ha-ro” not that guajiros have anyplace in Delta Amacuro... 

-What kind of goddamned magic phone does Ward have? Those place don’t have signal, you need a satellite phone - I haven’t been to the Delta but my cousin has and they needed a satellite phone... I need a satellite phone down in deep Apure... You cannot just sneak off and send your location to someone there... those places have special guides for a reason and the reason is that GPS does not work down there...not to mention roaming

- You can’t just use Kalinagos and Guajiro interchangeably, they are not the same ethnicity...

- Like pre-columbina guajiros probably didn’t know the Orinoco existed...

- The Pogues have too much trust in the Venezuelan rural health system... that man is going to die, there is nothing to be done.

- There wasn’t enough Jiara though - yes, that is related to the Orinoco...

Conversation with my mom about this series: Me: Now that they’re going on an expedition to El Dorado I feel like this should end like every other expedition to El Dorado Mom: With everyone dead? Me: With everyone dead

She also said I should stop complaining that for a gringo show this is almost intellectual

[thelydiatomystiles]

[jojo0039]

*Pogue for Life* The Dark Forest Part 1

Jo is just standing by the door.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" she asks him.

Buzz stands up from sitting on the couch.

"I knew you would be back here. You and I got to have a little chat." he tells her.

Jo sighs in frustration.

"Dad, it's been a long night. I would rather go to bed. We can talk later." she tells him.

She heads back toward her room.

"There won't be a later. Your Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Rodney are coming down in a couple of days. You're gonna go stay with them for a while." he informs her.

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm not going anywhere!" she tells him.

"I think it's for the best. Your life here hasn't been good for a while now. And I blame myself for that. I let myself get roped in on the drama of the Royal Merchant." he says to her.

"Dad, please, I don't wanna go anywhere. My friends need me." she pleads.

"Your friends will be fine without you. Right now my main concern is you. You need to get put back on the right path." he tells her.

"And my cult religious aunt and uncle are the way to do that?!" she retorts sarcastically.

"I think a little Jesus in your life will do you some good." he says.

"Well, I don't. They will have just wasted a trip down here because I am not going. They would have to drag me off this island by my hair." she tells him firmly.

Buzz steps closer to his daughter.

"If that is what it takes to keep you safe from all of this dangerous shit, then so be it."

The look in his eye makes Jo tense up.

She knows that he's serious.

She takes a deep breath and tries to think of something to say.

"Dad, I know that you love me and only want the best for me. But forcing me to leave isn't doing either one of us any favors. I know that you're upset about the choices that I have been making, but you have to understand that I am not a little girl anymore. You can't keep babying me and expecting me to make the choices that you want me to make. I am my own person who just wants to live life. Sending me away will not help me like you think it would." she says to him calmly.

Buzz sighs in frustration.

"They'll be here in a couple of days. I expect you to be ready." Buzz tells her in a final tone.

She starts to feel tears in her eyes.

She puts a hand over her mouth so he doesn't hear her cry as he walks out the door.

Buzz is heading back to his truck when he spots Big John leaning against the side of it.

"I've been trying to call you. I came to show you. We found the other piece."

John unwraps the completed artifact and shows him.

"You found the other half?"

Buzz looks at it closely in awe.

"John B and I did. It wasn't easy either. I need you to come with me to meet with someone to have it translated." Big John tells him.

Buzz hands him back the gnomon.

"Listen, we've been through a lot together throughout the years. And you know that I'll do anything for you. But I'm done with the treasure hunting." Buzz tells John.

"What are you talking about? This is what we've been waiting for! We're on the right track to find El Dorado." John tries to convince him.

"Not anymore. I just got my daughter back home. I'm getting ready to start a campaign for mayor. I have all of these plans and not one of them involves treasure hunting." Buzz says.

Big John looks at him with disbelief.

"Do you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth right now? You're a coward. You just wanna up and quit when things get hard. Just like old times. You would rather have a paramedic career instead of a treasure hunt!" Big John argues.

"It's a lost cause, John! I have more important things to worry about like my family. My daughter has no business being involved in any of this." Buzz argues back.

"Take a look around Buzz, your daughter has been involved in this from the start! She is not a little girl anymore. So quit treating her like one. I may be the less obvious one around, but even I can see you're just pushing your kid away by protecting her. You're gonna run her straight into Rafe Cameron's arms. And that would be the true consequence of you trying to protect her." Big John tells him.

"Just mind your own business, John." Buzz spits out.

John scoffs at him.

"I don't even recognize you anymore. You've become the Kooks we used to make fun of. Maybe I am better off doing this on my own."

John gives Buzz a sad shake of his head and turns to walk away from him.

Buzz just clinches his jaw in anger.

                                            *****************************

Jo manages to calm herself down and stop crying.

She sneaks a peek out the front door and spots her dad in a heated argument with Big John.

She rushes to her room and throws clothes into her big Victoria's Secret duffel bag.

She grabs a bunch of stuff that she thinks she needs and wants to keep.

She throws the bag out the window.

She hears the thud of it hitting the ground.

She then follows behind and climbs out the window.

She grabs her bag and rushes across the lawn to go over to John B's.

She dumps her duffel on the porch and listens for the sounds of her friends' voices.

She finds them in the back together talking.

Kie is the first one to spot her.

"Hey, there you are." she comments.

"Where have you been?" Pope questions her.

JJ looks up and glances at her.

"Sorry, I just had a big fight with my dad. What did I just miss?" she questions.

"Well, I was just telling everyone that my dad and I went to the archives in Charleston and uh, it was a dead end." John B states.

Jo can instantly tell that John B isn't telling the complete truth.

"So that's it? We're just done?" Jo questions with disbelief.

"So we lost the gold, the cross, and now El Dorado. Looks like we're three for three."

Pope throws something at a tree.

He storms off angrily.

"I'll see you guys around." Kie states as she follows Pope.

Jo feels a tightening in her chest.

She feels awkward being in a place that has always felt like home to her.

She is starting to feel like she doesn't belong here anymore.

She doesn't notice JJ watching her as she turns around to rush into the Chateau.

She runs to the bathroom and throws up.

Once she finally finishes, she rinses her mouth with mouthwash she finds in the cabinet.

She goes back out to the porch to grab her bag but sees JJ sitting beside it.

"Are you feeling okay?" he asks her.

He hands her a bottle of water and motions for her to sit down with him.

She takes the bottle and sits down on the couch.

"I'm alright. Just everything going on has my stomach upset." she tells him.

"Where are you going?" he asks as he nods his head toward the bag.

She shrugs her shoulders.

"I don't know. My dad is threatening to send me away." she tells him.

"Wait, what?" he stares at her with wide eyes.

"My aunt and uncle are coming down here to get me and take me back to the mainland and across the country. He says that's what is best for me right now. He thinks that all of this treasure hunting has only led to trouble." she tells him void of all emotion.

"What do you need me to do? I don’t want you to leave. You can't leave. I- I wouldn't know what to do if you left me." JJ tells her.

He stands up and starts pacing.

Jo watches him and finally speaks.

"I think we need to have that talk now Jay." she tells him.

He shakes his head.

"I'm not ready for you to pick him. I mean what do I have? Nothing. He can give you things that I can't." he speaks softly.

Jo stands up and grabs his face.

"Quit talking bad about yourself Jay. You are amazing. You care about all of us and you're always here to help. You have such a big heart and I love you so much. And I am so sorry that I didn't take that leap with you guys." she whispers to him.

He leans down and stops just before their lips touch.

She can feel his breath on her lips, and she wants nothing more than to kiss him.

JJ scoffs and pulls her hands off his face.

"You can't come here and say this stuff to me when you're wearing another man's ring on your finger! That's not fair to me. You chose Rafe. You chose to stay with him instead of jumping off the ship with us." JJ raises his voice sounding heartbroken.

"If I had jumped he would have shot you!" Jo argues back.

"You don't know that. If he loves you like you say he does, he wouldn't have shot at the boat and you would have been there with us."

Jo feels tears in her eyes again.

"But you chose to stay ultimately choosing him. I mean look at you, your nails are done and you're driving a range rover. You look like a Kook to me."

His words cut her deeply.

She doesn't know what to say to him.

He turns to walk off the porch but turns to say something else to her.

"I hope you do leave the island. That way I won't have to see you with him and it keeps you away from him."

He regrets the words as soon as he says them, but he turns to quickly leave the porch before anything else can be said.

He listens as he hears her sit back down and start to openly cry.

                                          ********************************

Jo finally leaves the porch and grabs her bag and heads for the car that Rafe gave her.

She throws the bag in the back and sits in the car.

She hesitates because she has nowhere to go at the moment.

She doesn't wanna anger her dad and go to Tannyhill to Rafe, but she doesn't want to go to her dad's house since he's threatening to ship her off.

And both of them would find her at her mom's trailer.  

She finally pulls out and just drives around.

She drives through town and decides to park the car and walk.

She walks around town, then makes it down to the marina.

She looks up to see Sarah riding her bike towards her.

"Hey." she greets her friend.

Sarah stops the bike in front of Jo.

She looks like she's been outside for a while and looks thirsty.

"Are you okay?" Jo asks her.

Sarah jumps off her bike and heads for a closed shop.

Jo watches as Sarah jumps over the counter and starts drinking beer from the tap.

"I could have bought you a beer if you wanted one so badly."

Jo laughs as she reaches over and grabs a water bottle from the cooler.

"Here's to going full pogue." Sarah mumbles.

Jo raises her eyebrow in question.

"if you need some money, Sarah, I can get you some." Jo tells her.

She shakes her head.

"I don't want you to get in trouble with Rafe." Sarah tells her.

"It's not gonna be a problem. I'll just have to pull some money off of this card." Jo shrugs her shoulders.

She jumps up on the counter and sits sideways.

"It won't be a problem. It's the least he can do is give you some money." Jo tells her.

"Do you want some?" Sarah asks holding up the tap to Jo.

Jo finally shrugs her shoulders again.

"Fuck it why not?"

Jo tosses Sarah the bottle of water to drink.

Jo grabs the tap and sprays some beer in her mouth.

"That's actually pretty good." Jo laughs as she hands it back to Sarah.

Sarah takes it and drinks from it again.

"Sarah? Joanna?"

Both girls turn to see Topper staring at them looking confused.

"What are you guys doing?" he questions.

"Hey, Top." Sarah greets.

"Do you girls wanna go for a ride?" he asks them.

"You know I never pass a chance up on the Malibu since it's in my name too." Jo retorts.

Topper holds the keys out in her direction.

"Then you can drive." She grabs them and smiles.

"Don't mind if I do."

They all head to the boat.

Jo starts up the Malibu and drives off.

"You look to be thirsty Sarah. If you want there is beer in there. You can grab one."

Topper points to the cooler beside them.

"Grab me one please." Jo speaks from the wheel.

"I never thought I would be a beer cooler vagrant." Sarah jokes.

She hands Jo a can of beer.

"Yea I thought you were more into like, high-end heists now." Topper tries to joke.

Sarah giggles softly.

"I'm surprised you're not back at the house by now Jo." Topper turns to her.

"Why would I be?" Jo asks.

"Well, because your aunt and uncle are in town." Topper tells her.

Jo's eyes widen.

"Wait, they're here now? In Outer Banks?" Jo rapidly questions.

"Uh, yea, they arrived late last night. Why are you acting like that?" Topper questions her off behavior.

"Because they're here to take me back to the mainland." she informs them.

"What?"

"Are you serious?"

Both Topper and Sarah exclaim.

"Let's face it, I've had it coming for a while now. There is only so much that my dad will take before he snaps. I brought this on myself." Jo mumbles wallowing in her self-pity.

"Do you need me to drop you off anywhere? Are you crashing at John B's?" Topper asks.

Jo and Sarah share an awkward look.

"I am not staying there. I can't go back to my dad's either." Jo says.

"Yea, I don't blame you, I wouldn't wanna be there either." Sarah tells her.

"I can drop you guys off at Tannyhill and possibly talk to Rafe on your behalf." Topper suggests.

Jo snorts causing beer to spill out of her nose.

Sarah scrunches up her nose trying to hide her laugh.

"What? Was it something I said?" Topper asks.

"Top, no offense, but I don't need you to talk to Rafe on my behalf for me. If anything it's the other way around." Jo tells him.

"Why? I'm not following." he says confused.

Jo grabs a hold of her necklace and shows him the ring on the chain.

Topper's eyes widen in shock.

"Are you fucking serious? You and Rafe? No wonder your dad is pissed bro!" Topper exclaims.

"Yea, it's a shitshow." Jo mumbles.

"I did not see that one coming that's for sure." Sarah starts laughing.

"How did things get like this?" Sarah continues to laugh.

"What do you mean?" Topper asks.

"This! Like things almost feel normal again, but they're far from normal. And were just sitting here having a normal conversation just catching up. That's just funny to me." Sarah takes a drink of her beer.

"Not everything is the same. You have a boyfriend and I have a girlfriend."

Jo quickly turns her head as Sarah's eyes widen in shock.

"You have a girlfriend?" Sarah questions awkwardly.

"Why do you seem surprised?" Topper asks.

"I'm not surprised. Of course, you do." Sarah takes another drink.

"Who?" Jo asks him.

"Uh, you guys know Elena." he tells them.

"Reedy!?"

Both girls exclaim at the same time.

Topper looks between the two girls.

"You guys dont like her?" he questions with amusement.

"Yes, I do. You can do so much better than that hairbow-wearing preppy little-"

Jo stops when she catches both Sarah and Topper just staring at her.

"Never mind." she mumbles quickly.

"It's just that when we were together, she was always like up your ass. So that's just kinda strange to me that's all." Sarah states.

"Oh ok, so you're jealous." Topper teases.

"No! I'm not jealous." Sarah denies.

"You do sound a little jealous."

Sarah sticks her tongue out at Jo.

"It's not even that. She would just linger and always ready to pounce." Sarah tells Topper.

"Now that you mention something, she was always around in the background always watching you." Jo laughs.

"Is this gang up on Topper day? Come on girls."

Topper throws his hands up in defeat.

"Yo, Top!"

They turn to see Kelce on a boat with a few other people.

"Holy shit! Is that Sarah Cameron and Joanna Mills?" Kelce asks.

"Hey, Kelce."

"Hi."

The girls greet.

"I heard you were back on figure eight for good. Please tell me you guys are coming!" Kelce shouts to them.

"Where?" Sarah asks Topper.

"A bunch of us are gonna head out to Mase and just do a little surf and sun action. A little fellowship by the break. You guys should come. It'll be fun." Topper speaks keeping his eyes on Sarah.

"You should come, Jo! I ran into Rafe earlier and said he might come out too." Kelce shouts from the boat he's on.

"Don't worry if Rafe shows up I'll keep him away from you." Jo whispers to Sarah.

"Come on guys!"

The group shouts to the girls.

"Alright, we're coming!" Sarah shouts.

Jo shakes her head with a laugh.

Topper hands her another beer.

She shakes her head.

"I'm good." she tells him.

He gives her a look.

"Are you sure?" he asks.

"Yeah, man I'm fine." she tells him.
