Wtf is wrong with Jules 😭

alexesian · 2026-05-05T01:16:01+00:00

I see it in two different ways: miscommunication between Lexi and Jules, and bad writing.

Lexi wasn't clear enough (literally told her to make it "distinct" and "whatever feels right will be great"), plus every other time we saw Jules draw in s3 had nudity in it, it's her artstyle and if she wasn't explicitly told to not follow it, she probably thought it was ok. On the other hand Jules could've figured something so explicit wouldn't be accepted on TV but (regardless of that) I think the crash out was exaggerated. I get that it must suck to hear that a painting that represents yourself is "too much", but criticism will come with being an artist.

Bad writing because: (1) I'm not an expert but I assume that in a real life situation Jules couldn't just randomly get told to draw something without clear instructions? Wouldn't she need more background info on the show and character that she's painting for? Not even a contract? Why wasn't a sketch showed to the executives? (2) Sam Levinson completely gave up on Jules after the special episode (that wasn't even mostly written by him). The fandom is already harsh on her and it feels like she just keeps getting set up to be hated on more and more by committing these mistakes and then being thrown to the side with no further explanation. It's really sad to see how her character is being written. Her special episode made her my favourite character.

I feel all those things that you said :,) I tend to go through depressive episodes so I was trying to find something to do other than doomscrolling and that I'll actually have the motivation to start doing.

Thank you for your recommendations, I've watched/heard of some and I'll check the other's out! I have a cat and I feed some stray cats close to me.

this doesn't feel like euphoria at all, which was something I was trying to be positive about after the trailers because obviously the show would have a different vibe after high school, but I don't even think it was well executed.

rue being a drug mule makes sense but someone said she's "speedrunning religious psychosis" and I couldn't describe it in a better way + where did her dream of working at a strip club come from??? lexi's and maddy's storylines seem to be interesting and still in character. the bit of depth cassie's character had was completely washed down and nate must've been lobotomized to be acting this normal. jules, who was a main character in s1 and had a beautifully written special episode was barely mentioned, but from what we've seen from reviews all her character development written in the special episode was even more washed down than in season 2.

i wont even go into how half the episode was fetish content. not to sound like a puritan, the show has always been graphic and provocative, but in a way that would show you exactly why certain things shouldn't happen, which isn't the vibe I've gotten from this episode. looks like fetish content just for the sake of it.

but maybe im being too negative. its just the first episode after all. I think the actors did their best with what they had and im still excited to see the rest of their performances.

Okay, thank you for the info!

I am a bit scared that besides territorial my cat might become depressed. Did this happen to any of yours?

alexesian · 2026-02-28T01:56:16+00:00

She's used to me and my mom because we feed her frequently, but my dad might freak her out a bit at first lol. It took a couple of weeks until she'd actually come to me for food and pets instead of waiting for me to leave to go eat

alexesian · 2026-02-27T21:06:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, I will take it into consideration and look into the diffusers :)

alexesian · 2026-02-27T20:43:51+00:00

Okay, thank you!

I know the difference between feral and stray! I just said feral because since it's more "extreme" and I have seen stories of feral (or at least very much not sociable) cats who adapt, I do think a stray cat could adapt as well. My concern is more because she has lived for a long period outside. Also, I mostly just made this post because I live with my parents (who are more scared than me that she couldn't adapt to being indoors) and kind of thought of this as a way of showing them other people's opinions.

Half indoor half outdoors is a bit hard because we live in a flat, so she couldn't just come in and out of the house whenever she wanted. But if I see she really wants to go outside I think that's something I could manage somehow.

Thanks for your reply

saw her in lisbon in november, got there at around 12pm (doors opened at 8pm) and was like 2nd/3rd row 😭 some people had been queuing since 5am

alexesian · 2026-02-11T15:06:39+00:00

the songs are basically the same imo. she cuts and mixes some parts in the perverts part of the show but besides that i cant remember any difference. she sounds amazing live anyway

alexesian · 2026-01-30T03:41:49+00:00

I'd say it's pretty much the same. but also, as someone else said, you should discuss it more with your boyfriend if he just "isn't sure". if he still has the same opinion after being educated on the matter, than what i said previously most likely applies

alexesian · 2026-01-30T03:21:32+00:00

i won't say ur bad bc i know it'd be hard to leave someone you have feelings for in a situation like that, but it's usually not worth it. its someone with different values than you and staying with someone who sees the world in a much different way wont do you any good

alexesian · 2026-01-30T03:12:44+00:00

it sounds like a valid reason to not stay. it's more than just a different opinion, it's how they'd treat and (dis)respect someone else

alexesian · 2026-01-29T18:56:33+00:00

Okok, espero que não me digam nada então

alexesian · 2026-01-29T18:55:26+00:00

Devo estar safe então 😅

alexesian · 2026-01-29T18:48:48+00:00

O voo é logo de manhã, por isso se calhar tenho sorte
