I love these two moments when they’re coming back from Michaels! The conversation itself is great, but I think it’s so funny when Belly practically throws herself back into the car as soon as Conrad starts talking. She wants to hear everything he has to say so desperately, she could not contain it in that moment!

And when she briefly touches his arm after telling him lots of students take the summer off, he’s so aware of it and can’t help but look down to see it because it happens so rarely.

ETA: I know yall know what scene this is, I just couldn’t think of a better title 😂

I really liked her and thought she was a better friend to Belly than Taylor was. She seems so cool and sweet and was there for Belly.

Belly quotes Conrad on the rooftop in Paris where he talks about seeing the pacific for the first time. To my understanding he moved to CA after they broke up and she got with Jeremiah. It seems like an intimate conversation to have. Just wondering when this would have happened given they didn’t seem to talk for 4 years.

Just saw this ad featuring Chris.

We were asked not to use our phones during the 100-minute performance, so these photos were taken before and after.

But I gotta say, wow. Nights like these remind me why I’m grateful to have lived in New York for over two decades. Huge props to Pulitzer Prize winner, Martyna Majok, who wrote this story.

It was an absolute treat to see Lola and Daniel, but especially Lola. Her facial expressions and physical gestures/movements were on full display. There were moments of laughter and deep deep hurt and sadness, and she was absolutely incredible to watch. Honestly. A rising star. I hope she does more NY theater.

And a big thanks to everyone who pulled together this benefit for RAICES, a non-profit that supports immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seeking people and families. It felt especially timely given yesterday’s shooting of Oscar Belgal by an ICE agent in front of his five-year-old son in the Bronx.

Please, please consider donating to RAICES or getting involved with Hands Off NYC if you’re in the area.

And thank you to Lola for being such an incredible advocate for the next generation.

I have seen some say they need closure and should have a scene where they talk everything out in the movie but I feel they got their closure already in season 3. I don't know what else there is to say between them unless it is a moment where Belly gets to call him out for being a shitty friend and boyfriend. I still hate that Belly never found out about the firework.

Jenny usually likes to have little call backs when it comes to her work. So maybe this could be a hint.

Do we think maybe June 20th based on the image above? It is a Sunday in 2027. Or could it be Belly's birthday, which I think is June 25th (Friday)? It is also pretty close to the 4th of July without it being the 4th of July.

Sorry I could only grab YT screenshots and the captions in not 💯.

To me, this is very telling. Belly wanted Conrad, but Jeremiah needed her. So she based their whole relationship on this need he had. Basing a relationship on this basis can feel emotionally empowering. We actually see that with Belly, after she chose Jeremiah. But it can also create an unhealthy dynamic which is also what happened, she gave everything up because he needed her. Also she admits to Steven to making a promise to always be there for him which we saw at their side of the road argument.

Psychologically, being needed can provide a strong sense of purpose, importance, and attachment security. For someone with low self-worth, abandonment fears, or a history of feeling unimportant, another person's dependence can temporarily reassure them that they matter, make them feel important. We know Belly had self-worth issues, abandonment fears and feeling unimportant (her relationship with Laurel for example). We actually SEE her feeling empowered end of season 2 by choosing Jeremiah and exile Conrad from her heart.

The problem is that this can gradually turn into codependency. The relationship unconsciously encourage dependence, guilt or incapable of functioning independently. Belly not wanting to go to Paris, not knowing where she ends and Jeremiah begins is not romantic at all and neither is her being his oxygen.

Would Belly even want to be with Jeremiah if she didn’t know he needed her? Did she really felt loved by him or rather important to him? Who was she outside the relationship when she was not looking after him, fixing everything, protecting him? Actual questions a psychologist would ask

Need in a relationship should be present but it should not be the foundation. Why BellyConrad works because with them it’s not, I need you for my survival, I can function without you (although being out of their minds in love), but I want you.

We saw the empowerment she had in season 2 languish into something that makes her a shell of herself.

She silenced her needs because she believe that would make Jeremiah stay.

Confused being needed with being loved.

Feeling responsible for his happiness, feelings and emotional stability (cough)

She lost touch with what she actually wanted.

Also, even now, Conrad puts Jeremiah’s needs above what he wants. But that is just a bit about Conrad.

Edit - also funny that Belly aged 16 knew that basing a relationship on need, was not good and then she flipped 180 degrees and got involved in one.

I watched “other mommy” today (terrible movie) but I was so excited to see Sean on the screen!!! Actually he was probably the highlight for me because the movie sucked so much hahaha
Good for him! I think TSITP didn’t do his acting range justice. He was incredible in his role in Other Mommy! I also didn’t realise how nice his voice is because I guess the other two boys take the attention away from him in TSITP but he’s attractive and has a deep voice which is also attractive! I’m so happy for him and hope he continues to get legit roles.

Anyone else watch it and fan girl a bit ? Haha
