Through ep 2.6 of “One of Us is Lying” and it’s been great so far!!! :D Don’t want to post anything too spoilery but love not knowing what’s coming next with the changes, Bronwyn and Nate’s scenes are amazing, got much more with Stan, and really enjoyed Vanessa getting to tell her side and learn more about what’s really going on. Can’t wait to see what happens in the last 2 eps!!!

[pzyii]

I didn't expect to but after ep 6, I actually love Vanessa, i thought she was funny before but she's just amazing actually, especially her dynamic with murder club and kris

[izzielizzie]

I don't remember if you've already made a similar post but what is your opinion about all the changes they made from the book in oouil? And your opinion in general about the show

oh god i genuinely stopped talking about the show like three episodes in because i was mad but i think it's been enough time to talk about it without sounding insane

#1: Detention

there was no reason to make the b4 have different reasons for getting detention. the phones was a good red herring when nate was a suspect, and a good way to show that none of the people in detention should have been in detention. all the different reasons were boring tbh

#2: The Distraction

the car crash added a lot of drama, but also it was a solid lead. it was the first time anyone other than maeve realized simon was involved.

#3: Keely/Cooper

i actually liked this change? a little? cooper's relationship with keely and his brother was a lot more interesting to watch, and only made sense because of other changes (namely, the popular groups' secrets). however, i'm sad cooper missed the chance to really step away from expectations (the perfect girlfriend) to what he wants (kris).

#4: Vanessa/TJ

i didn't really like vanessa as a character in the show tbh (she was funnier than book vanessa i'll give her that) but her relationship with tj kind of took away from the whole point of having tj in the book: tj was an outsider. he was sort of a reprieve for addy. everyone in her friend group was sitting passively while she struggled with jake, but tj, who, for all intents and purposes, wasn't really part of the group, was able to say "hey. what jake is doing is wrong. everyone can see that". this tj is too busy being vanessa's bf to do that properly.

#5: Addy/Jake

tbh i kind of liked jake/addy as a couple in the first episode. they were adorable. the trouble with the show was that there was no way to see jake was a bad boyfriend. in the book, jake did things that made me feel uncomfortable. he didn't let addy around other boys. he didn't want her to wear a sweater at night because it wasn't cute. those are small things that definitely show ho unhealthy the relationship was, and makes everything that happens make sense.

#6: Addy/TJ

i sort of hate the fact that tj was a suspect. his entire character was supposed to just be a friend to addy. not whatever he was.

#7: Addy

i know, i know that this is a tv show and we don't get internal dialogue and that's where addy mostly grew but seriously? going back to jake? ahhhhhh i can't even talk about it i hate it so much

#8: Bronwyn

i never really loved bronwyn? i mean she's a great character and she's super important but she's never been my favorite narrator or rojas sister or character tbh but here she was sometimes insufferable. i don't even have a reason it was a vibe? also the way she treated her sister? the fact that she thought maeve was a murderer??? book bronwyn would never.

#9: Maeve

speaking of the rojas sisters... WHAT THE HELL??? maeve's character was ruined which is so sad because melissa is an amazing actress and would have really captured book maeve so well. i sort of hated her outfits? she was always described in jeans and t-shirts which fits her vibes more than whatever she wore in the show. and her cancer trauma wasn't talked about at all unless it was about simon? and the whole simon friendship was stupid because she hated him. the fact that she outed cooper was... i can't even talk about it, it makes me so mad. and her and janae? book maeve hated janae for very valid reasons. am i happy that there is a universe in which it's cannon that maeve is bi? yes. but i hate who she's paired with.

#10: Cooper

cooper was so agressive? and angry? and not coop at all? i didn't like it.

#11: Kris

kris?? babe??? what??? he was supposed to be a haven for cooper, someone who loves him unconditionally even though cooper was too scared to tell the truth. dumping cooper because he wasn't out yet was the opposite of what kris would do.

#12: The Bayview Four

the whole allure of oouil is that they band together to solve the murder and that if they hadn't then their lives would have gone downhill. maeve even says so in the first chapter of oouin. they spent the entire time arguing and it makes no sense. they're still not close and a whole season has passed

#13: Jake and Simon

a dare?? a fucking dare??? and now they're both dead?? it makes no sense

#14: Vanessa

i don't even want to think about her tbh. it's all just messed up.

#15: i'm done for now but i'm also me so... Luis

luis supported cooper when no one else from their group would, luis supplied important information, and luis was a good fucking love interest for maeve.

okay that's all i have i don't even know if i answered the question lol

.

Headcanon that in 1995, Cameron shows up at Donna’s house at 6pm on her own birthday, ready for their nightly work date, but that Donna comes to the door in a neon rainbow cardboard party hat with a unicorn on it, and party favors in both hands

Cameron sees her through the glass of the door, and Donna smiles brightly at her, and blows loudly into her cardboard party horn, making its paper fringe wave wildly, and shakes her clackety hand-shaped thing. Eyes wide with panic, Cameron turns on her heel, about to speed walk back to her truck

Donna throws open the door, reaches out, grabs the back of her shirt, and yanks her into the house, with a “Don’t you fvcking dare, Cameron!” Staggering backwards, Cameron flails into the house, just managing to catch her balance. “Okay fine, fine,” she gives up. Standing up straight and shrugging it off, dusting off her coat, she says, “Fine, it’s my birthday. There. We’ve acknowledged it.” Throwing her hands up, she begs “Can we move on?”

Pulling a face of irritated disdain, Donna fusses, “No, we cannot move on. And we shan’t!” She ushers Cameron into the kitchen, where a chicken pot pie that she prepped the night before is cooling on the counter. Smiling glumly, Cameron jokes, “Honey, you shouldn’t have!” Donna argues, “Of course I should have,” as she takes her bag and her coat. 

They eat at the kitchen island, where Donna says, “You must have at least one good birthday memory.” Cameron shovels a forkful of chicken and carrot into her mouth, and shakes her head. Swallowing, she insists, “I really haven’t celebrated in a long time. We didn’t celebrate much after, you know…we got the news about my dad. And then, my mom made me have a sweet 16. Which wasn’t exactly huge, but it was big enough. And there was a lot of booze. I doubt my mom actually remembers it. She definitely doesn’t remember how miserable I was in the foofy dress she made me wear.”

Donna frowns as she gets up to refill her glass with water from the refrigerator door. “Okay. But what about more recently? Did you celebrate when you lived in Japan?” When she gets back to the table, Cameron half-grins, “Not really. But that first year was nice. We didn’t really know anyone yet, so, Tom and I, we just spent the day together, at our apartment. And I was sad, sure, but he didn’t mind it, he thought it was just, you know, homesickness, or whatever. We ordered in and we had big bowls of ramen for dinner that night, and we turned on the tv and tried to find something that we could understand, but, we couldn’t make sense of anything that was on, but it was funny? I don’t know, it was weirdly fun. I didn’t feel any pressure, or anything like that.”

Spooning a bit more of the pot pie onto her plate, and then more onto Cameron’s plate, Donna asks, “Pressure?” Helping herself to more of the pie, Cameron takes her time with more eating and chewing, and then says, “Yeah. You know. Like, when you feel like you need to make people think that you seem happy, and like you’re having a good time and you’re a ‘normal’ person, or whatever.” Sipping from her glass of water, Donna side-eyes her, and then says, “I never really got the sense that you struggled with that kind of pressure. But, I guess that’s the front you have to put up when people think you’re weird.” Sighing huffily, Donna adds, “I also never thought you were weird, though. Different, sure. But not in a bad way. And then you also turned out to be brilliant.” This makes Cameron grin tentatively, and blush slightly.

“I am weird, though,” Cameron frowns. “I’m a 34 year old girl who misses her dad all the time.” This makes Donna think of all the times she got annoyed with Cameron for being ‘immature.’ Gently, she says, “Of course you miss him. I think it would be weirder if you didn’t. If people don’t get that….” With another sigh, she gets up, and picks up their cleared plates, and brings them to the sink. 

“I just really wish he was here. You know?” Slouching sadly in her chair, Cameron says, “Even with all the mistakes I’ve made, he’d be proud of me.” Over by the sink, Donna turns back to face Cameron again, and says, “Of course he would. I wish he was here too, for you. But if he can’t be, well, I’m glad that I can be here with you.” Holding back tears, Cameron nods, and then looks down into her lap. Turning away again to find some tin foil to put on the remaining pot pie and give Cameron some privacy, Donna adds, “I also hope that it gets…I don’t know. Easier? I hope you’ll be able to enjoy things more, at some point.”

Before Cameron can respond, the doorbell rings, startling her. Donna smiles broadly, and says, “Hey, I think you should get that!” Flatly, Cameron says, “If that’s a crowd of our friends waiting to yell ‘surprise!’ I’ll consider it yet another unforgivable betrayal,” but gets up and goes to the door. She sees Bos standing outside, in a suit, bolo tie, and stetson, holding a cake carrier in his hands. She lets him in, and just as Donna joins them, Bos says, “Now, i was given very specific instructions to get a store-bought red velvet cake, but, I had some time, and I could not in good conscience let my mother’s recipe go to waste….” As soon as Donna takes the carrier from him, Cameron throws her arms around him, and hugs him tightly. 

Bos hugs her back, and when he feels Cameron starting to cry again, he gently says, “It’s just a little cake, darlin.’” She starts to weep openly. Over her shoulder, he tells Donna, “Looks like Ol’ Waterworks here is gonna need a minute.” Donna sets the cake down on the dining room table, and goes to fetch some plates, spoons, and her fancy silver cake server set that she never gets to use. When she returns, Cameron and Bos are sitting at the table together, and Cameron is laughing at something he’s just said. Donna beams at them.

Just as they’re about to cut the cake, the front door opens again. “We’re here!” Haley shouts. Rushing inside with Vanessa, she calls out, “Did we miss it?” Donna excitedly replies, “No, you’re just in time!” 

Cameron convinces them to not sing “Happy Birthday” to her, but can’t stop Donna from leading everyone in a quick but rousing round of “For She’s A Jolly Good Fellow” 

They all enjoy cake and coffee, and Cameron suddenly feels very lucky. She sort of wants to cry again, both because she misses her father, and because she’s actually happy to be there. As she sits there, listening to everyone talk and joke and laugh, she imagines an alternate universe where her father is alive, but she still somehow wound up at Austin Tech, and then Cardiff Electric, and then Mutiny, and then right there, with those exact people, in Donna’s house.

VANESSA KIRBY WITH WOMEN.

[izzielizzie]

as requested, oouil trailer breakdown (it’s long sorry)

1: first of all, there’s that:

based on the overalls Bronwyn is wearing, I’m going to guess that this is the scene where Nate drives Bronwyn home after Simon dies. Also: there’s a beach and a highway which probably means that A) the Rojas live in a very wealthy and very far away area of town and B) there’s going to possibly be more beach scenes, which means the Jake, Addy, TJ beach scene in particular. And also Nate has two helmets? Who’s he driving around? Or does the show just want to practice good motorcycle habits in which case good for them.

2: next is Simon and Janae:

This specific quote, her bubbly attitude, and the face Simon makes right after she says it leads me to believe that at this point Janae is either totally on board with what Simon’s about to do, or she doesn’t know. Because book Janae hated Simon’s plan from day one. 

and then, of course, there are the shots of the Bayview Four before all the shit that goes down, which probably means that there will be a montage or some sort of their lives beforehand. 

3: also here:

Bronwyn’s crying, but she’s wearing the same shirt as she was at the lunch table which means that either she’s reading a post about herself before detention, or she’s just gotten the call about Simon. The background looks like a school, so maybe she’s looking at her real phone after Simon’s taken away because the fake one was what caused this mess?

4:

again, Addy’s looking at her phone, but wearing something different. This is probably after the big post about the Bayview Four, especially since she’s walking alone and not with Jake. 

5: look how confused Cooper is:

all the other scenes of the B4 show them looking guilty, but here Coop looks like he has no clue what Simon’s talking about. Because he doesn’t, this is about him doing steroids instead. 

6:

you tell him queen. also Bronwyn’s shoulder is next to Addy which means that this conversation happens after the teacher leaves to make sure no one was hurt during the fender-bender. 

7: notice how Simon pouring the water isn’t actually shown:

none of the narrators watched him pour the water either. It’s not very big but it’s clever

8: he’s reaching out to Nate:

looks like Coop was right, he did regret it in the end

9: this is a good callback to Nate calling Addy useless in the books:

I can’t wait to see their friendship grow

10: Bronwyn’s coming back home at night, which only happens once in the book

probably a meeting of the B4? Or she was with Nate? She’s obviously not hiding something from her family though because she’s not being very conspicuous. Although that hoodie is the same from the football game, so maybe that’s where she’s coming back from?

11:

this is the Natewyn stairwell scene right? where he gives her a burner phone? He’s looking up at someone, so I assume it’s Bronwyn on the stairs.

12:

this scene was interesting because Cooper never outwardly accused anyone... but he’s suggesting it with Bronwyn. Also he’s wearing black and she’s wearing black so... funeral? 

13:

this is probably Simon’s room? Not sure why they’d be in there but also it seems like it’s an early episode because they’re all accusing each other. And Addy says she knows everyone but Bronwyn, which probably means that the show might be going on a Bronwyn and Nate vs Cooper and Addy path until they work together. 

14: okay so Cooper just goes to abandoned parks now?

maybe to meet someone? Maybe Kris? But Kris has an apartment. 

15: the next few scenes are confusing. Addy’s taking,,, a pill. Idk what pill because she never did drugs. And Nate’s standing over a person. Maybe his dad? He’s very frantic so I think it is his dad

16: kind of unrelated but is that the funeral house or the Rojas’ house?

17: Oh wow there’s really some animosity between Cooper and Bronwyn huh? “Why should we trust you”? Cooper never really had an opinion on Bronwyn. Also, they never explicitly said they needed to work together this early on, I’m intrigued if they’ll follow through. 

18: they’re making Detective Wheeler a real enemy here and you know what? They should she outed Cooper

19: 

Also this is the cardigan Bronwyn wears when she tells Maeve that telling the truth won’t help anything, so I’m interested to see what causes Maeve to say that. And look at Nate looking at Bronwyn 🥺

20: again with the trunk scene what does Bronwyn keep in her car???

21: So Nate’s leaving that’s interesting. Either he’s packing his stuff when arrested but there would be more officers if that happened, or he’s running away? Not sure

22: Janae? And Maeve? In the same scene? That’s gonna be fun.

also if Maeve doesn’t yell at Janae about how awful Simon was then what’s the point? But also why does Maeve look so sad? I get that death is sad but she hated him. 

23: look it’s an Evan sighting. Yuck

24: Look it’s Jake dressed up for what I have to assume is their homecoming

25:

is that Addy’s mom, Nate’s mom, or Simon’s mom? Judging by how broken she looks it’s either Simon’s mom or Nate’s mom.

26: Vanessa and TJ at a party together suggests that this is pre Addy drama, but also she looks really cocky.

27: I get why someone would assume this is prom, but also prom happens at the end of the year, it’s more likely this is homecoming.

Also Keely looks like... a lot. 

28: What’s up with that safe?

29: Cooper’s chasing somebody that’s cool

30: 

judging by the high heels I’m assuming Addy is spying on her old friend group?

31: Okay detective Wheeler is spying on Nate now? And also those people looked unfamiliar so the fight probably is a drug transaction gone wrong, which is why Det. Wheeler looks so pleased. 

32: also mask? What? Is that Vanessa or Addy?

33: Nate, at a pool? Talking to a girl with dark hair? Vanessa and TJ at a pool? Is this a flashback type scene where Nate hooks up with Keely? Because in the teaser when Nate was kissing another girl he was wearing the same thing. 

34: 

okay so look at Addy’s face. She’s upset. Cooper is confused. Everyone’s looking at them. So I’m assuming that this is another post with the stuff about the Bayview Four, but it’s before Cooper was outed because you can just tell that he has no idea what’s going on. 

honorable mention to Bronwyn untying that bow-tie btw

having watched both the devils (1971) and saint maud (2019) in the last few weeks, i’m really struck how in both films, extreme religious devotion in women (and in this case i mean a very gendered kind of religious devotion, because in both films, the characters’ relationship to religion/god is very much mediated through gender) is this kind of conduit for horror and the entry into the narrative of a kind of force of chaotic otherness that could be god or something else.....
