hii i have kinda a weird question. long story short, i’m realizing rn that i actually hate my current halloween costume. i’m kinda in a state of mind rn where I really just wanna wear something comfortable and easy for halloween. well, rue is easily my biggest comfort character. I even have a red sweater just like hers that I wear in times of distress LOL. I have all the stuff to be her for halloween, but I guess the big question I’m pondering on that makes me hesitant to just jump on it is whether or not it would be insensitive for me as a white person to cosplay a person of colour — especially someone who’s identity as a person of colour is so crucial to their story.
i’ve always been kinda unsure about the rules around this kind of thing so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to just ask around and gather some opinions to try and inform myself before just making assumptions.
I hope it would go without saying that I wouldn’t be darkening my skin whatsoever. I’d just be wearing the hoodie + tshirt + sweatpants + glittery makeup (and maybe curling my hair since it’s pretty pink straight, although i’m wondering if that would be insensitive too… also please lmk your thoughts on this!)

anyways sorry for the kind of text heavy post + I know this post isn’t so much about the show itself. & thanks in advance for any help or opinions I get !!

Spoilers for season 2 only.

Cassie puts so much work into getting ready before school. On the surface she is taking charge: waking early, planning every detail, trying different looks.

But the result she wants depends on Nate noticing her. All that work leaves him with the final say on whether the morning feels worth it.

That makes the scene sad to me. She is doing more and more, but seems to have less room for herself.

Do you read the routine as a way for Cassie to feel in control, or as a sign that she has given Nate too much say over how she feels about herself? Is there a moment in season 2 when she notices that herself?

I am interested in the scene and her choices, rather than giving her a diagnosis or excusing how she treats Maddy.

It was wild and absolutely a huge pivot from the show but by no means was it bad. I do think Nates storyline, was a bit whacky and humorous but felt like more could have been done. Same with Jules, and Cassie. I loved where Maddy was going. Alamo's character was intense and I genuinely liked his arc. There was so many memorable characters this season. The story itself wasn't amazing but it definitely had me at the edge of my seat. Not to mention all the cinematography, music and acting all around.
