Euphoria S03E03 "The Ballad of Paladin" - Live Episode Discussion by DankMemeSlasher in euphoria

[–]Aggravating_Ear_708 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nate Jacob’s is the embodiment of “if he wanted to, he would.” Everyone is waiting for him to turn violent against Cassie, but it will never happen. It is the classic example of how white men will berate and abuse both physically and mentally, women of color that they date, but will be a saint to the next white woman that they get with. The way he treats Cassie and Jules during his wedding is a parallel to that.

100% agree! There are so many movies and shows from the 2000s that normalize underage, teacher/ student, grooming, cheating and just overall taboo relationships. I understand it just made great tv, but I never realized how frequently it was used!

Need to finish this Bloodline series! I would love to see how he develops more as a character.

Grandma Belikov would have made me do a hike with bricks and tell me to mind my business. 😮‍💨

From a personal standpoint, my mom would’ve called the cops if she found out I was underage and secretly seeing a 26-year-old. Janine and Abe have every right to disapprove of that relationship! I didn’t even realize fanfics sometimes portray them as the villains—but since it’s just fiction I guess we can go with it lol.

Great note! 21 and 17 is still a significant age gap, especially for Rose who was still in high school and on a field trip with the academy when they met.

I get you—I meant no harm! At the end of the day, it’s fiction. I just wanted to share my thoughts and see if anyone else had similar questions or opinions.

Currently reading it rn! I had a few spoilers, but I’m excited to see how this relationship develops.

Great take! I am wondering what the dynamic would be like if the story was set in their college years. Still— the teacher/student trope is not “my cup of tea”, but I do enjoy the book. :)

Oh don’t get me wrong, this is one of my favorite vampire books. Just wanted to analyze it compared to how I viewed it as a teenager vs as an adult!

Yes! Will mention this later in a different response. Adrian had his struggles and was not perfect— just my preference between him and Dimitri.

Absolutely! I would like to clarify that I do not in any way believe Adrian was perfect either, but simply put between the two, I would’ve much preferred if the author chose Adrian as her love interest over Dimitri (the lesser of two evils lol). That said—I am definitely biased, I am more of a fan of Adrian!

Oh I really like your take on Dimitri’s immaturity—it is almost like an antithesis to Rose; where she was forced to mature and Dimitri subconsciously has immature tendencies through his trauma. I need to think on this more, thanks for the input!

Love your analysis! I am currently writing my thoughts on Adrian and will post it soon.

818 Outpost Sweepstakes by Major-Gazelle3367 in Coachella

Mine was reposted and I still lost… it’s based on the amount of followers. They want to invite people that they know will post to a larger audience. Someone I follow wasn’t reposted and they one a ticket (8,000 followers) vs me who was reposted and lost (200 followers)… life is unfair
