can we please talk about rose’s reaction when the doctor gave her a tardis key. the little smile and when mickey tries to use it against her her reaction is so strong.

none of her boyfriends ever really made a commitment to her; mickey is implied to be cheating on her emotionally ("don't read my emails", in rose) and is overall dismissive of her (going to the pub in rose, and overall dismissive when she talks about her travels with the doctor). and then there's jimmy stone who is heavily implied to have abused her, and canonically is the reason she was in debt.

she was so afraid she was going to be left behind again and he gives her a key. and that just changes everything and she sees how much she means to him.

the doctor is the first person in a while that not only proves to rose that he wants her around but he makes her feel worthy of it as well.

a normal and average sunday consists of lying on the ground thinking about how much I'd like to go back and do everything again because this time I'd do everything right

the great thing about Derry girls is that the audience doesn't know shit

like, I'm sure if you're an Irish or English viewer you have a bit more context for some of the historical jokes and holidays and the like

but plot threads like James' mother, micelle's brother, and the fact that Erin's sister just sort of exists in the background are barely explained but they don't need to be

because the point of the show isn't to espouse upon every little mystery of Derry, each character's inner turmoil, the backstory of every extra- hell, we don't get much of a backstory for the main characters! I don't think we even meet Michelle's father- and we never see the inside of any of the main five's houses besides Erin

this show is slice of life in its purest form

we are dropped into the first day of school in Derry in season one, and we leave on the day of the vote in season 3, when the girls are thinking about going off to college or university, that's it. we're merely a viewer. these characters aren't performing a show for us, we're peeking into their lives.

anyway its really late and I love Derry girls

it’s a small thing, but i’m so glad they let nell be emotional over things. because of course she would be ! so much has happened to her in such a short amount of time, so many awful things. she’s strong yes, a fighter yes, but she’s still allowed to be upset over things and the show lets her be !! and i love that about it
