i will personally never take a bonrad’s commentary on jere & belly’s ‘incompatibility’ seriously when b&c canonically didn’t last 6 months in a relationship, never even had 1 in the books, were not friends & never spent time alone prior to that 🩷
no way bonrads think ‘finch is fun’ is cute & clever & use that as a flex…not only is it elitist & nasty in general but he literally said that ab a school belly specifically TOLD him she was excited about 😅 i thought he paid attention to & respected belly most of all!
now who is going to tell them we don’t actually give af that jeremiah a. joined a fraternity? or b. had rebound seggs as a fully single man after he & belly explicitly & unequivocally broke up, nor does that magically erase conrad’s behavior or make him a good love interest
so what exactly is the ‘parallel’ w belly saying her mom wouldn’t have cared if her dad cheated & wht happened in b3 when belly was quite literally crying screaming throwing up at jere being w someone else while he was SINGLE? & ‘it hurt so bad she couldn’t breathe?’ she cared.
something about conrad ‘knowing innately that belly loves him’ & referring to her as ‘his girl’ when she wasn’t
vs belly ‘never being sure of anything w him’ & not knowing if he ‘cares if she lives or dies’ kinda summarizes the ick of tht ship as a whole actually
and i’ll say it again, friends to lovers hurt/comfort is gonna do it for me every time & conrad simply does not emotionally support belly! he’ll ask for & accept it from her (when he feels like it) but on his end it’s crickets & we’re not crazy for pointing it out! 💕
me every day being reminded tht ppl not only accept but romanticize the way conrad made jere sit through a performance ab his chest pains only to decidedly never tell that girl he loved her, 👻 & insult her, then start yelling ab how he ‘tHoUght sHe kNeW’ when confronted ab it 😭
actually will not be rooting for the canonically insecure fmc to end up w the man who digs at her insecurities & provides no emotional support. idc if ‘he’s the sun & her world revolves around him’ tht’s NOT a good thing or cute 😭 neither is a ship relating to ttwily but anyway
just so i’m clear…now they want us to be threatened by a picture of a kiddie pool? …in front of a frat house? that’s what everyone’s bustling about? please tell me i missed something bc y’all 😭
glad to see that bonrad math is still ignoring how connie belittled the school belly specifically mentioned she was excited about & jeremiah was the one who remembered & encouraged her about playing volleyball there, but swooning over some sour patch kids that jere paid for
jelly endgame would be iconic, bold, groundbreaking & unforgettable! it’s true! however; bc i am jaded, my expectations are on the floor. that said, a romantic breakup, angsty edits to the 1 & implied affairs are fun too!
we were really and truly ROBBED of this scene in the show & this is also why there’s no way the team conrad collective is always yapping about the books 😅✋🏻
apparently a kiddie pool confirmed s3 will be an exact retelling of b3! 🤩 so tht means jeremiah will be the only redeemable character, belly will tell conrad to his face he treats her like 🗑️ & he could never be jere & j&b will be together until the last minute? cool!
not them trying to say belly h8s parties now 😭 she literally said ‘last night was amazing!’ after the bonfire, the house party was HER idea, she was upset bc of the boys fighting & cowardrad being himself not the party itself! she was having fun & tht’s ok! let tht girl live
belly can like fun & being social & also play volleyball & study or whatever else she wants to do. she can do all those things while possibly being in a sorority too. y’all want her to have no personality outside of being obsessed w & tied to Mr. ‘Finch is Fun’ & it’s WEIRD!
wait why do bonrads really bring up conrad being in med school in unrelated discussions to dismiss points? 😭 how about u provide us with an example of conrad comforting & supporting belly emotionally first? no? (calling jeremiah a beerology major doesn’t count!)
mhm just like when he dropped the game to tell her she looked hot in s1, both of which are callbacks to the beloved sandcrab flashback in which baby jere told con & steven to go scratch when they told him he couldn’t play their new game if he stayed w belly bc he didn’t care &-
can someone give me an example of conrad being ‘sunshine’ or ‘daylight’ in his actual actions & not in artificial motel light shining on him or laurel saying it? like HIS ACTIONS? no? okay.
you guys sure know how to make me feel welcome 🥹💕 i love y’all so much. however nobody exaggerated people on here are insufferable! love my private quote fans already!!! 🤩
@lizthedamnszn
this division of bonrad math has always been so fcking funny 😭treats the
mc like 🗑️ never emotionally supports/comforts her/can’t admit feelings but YAH HE DOES DISHES & MAKES THE BED! IVY LEAGUE KING 🤩
thinking about how romantic & emotionally intimate the s1 car kiss/moment is & also how delusional it is to clutch pearls at jeremiah’s reaction when belly played & betrayed him after tht & how i could write an essay on how y’all disregard both jere as a person & belly’s agency
belly on jeremiah & belly trying to talk about conrad in the same way… 😍 if i never post anything on here again i need to have this on my page bc u all know it’s my fave
see the thing is…factually…jeremiah is the only one with a job in b3. b&c only had the opportunity to be in that house alone bc jeremiah was…at his job. button quit on a whim & connie conveniently had nothing better to do than haunt the house. anyway.
screaming & hurling insults at each other, then not interacting other than the infamous letters belly ignores while she chats to jere online & then their entire ‘relationship’ is skipped over in a time jump to the 1 page endgame. anyway…
& i still say jere & belly deserved the ‘finding their way back to each other’ book bc they had a demonstrated relationship, spent time together & couldn’t go long stretches w out talking meanwhile b3 belly literally doesn’t know if con ‘cares if she lives or dies’ but anyway-
truthfully i believe this scene is intentionally left ambiguous & crafted so that it can be interpreted either way, meant to spark debate as is most of the ‘symbolism’ in the series. that said imo the j/b interpretations are sm more meaningful bc they’re supported by actions but
Why are you stating this like it is some sort of surprise?? You are literally a bellyjere, anyone w a brain would assume you are not rooting for bellyconrad?
i’d really like to hope the show is moving away from the dated, misogynistic, 09 not like other girls, ‘sorority girls are vapid sloots’ narrative the books suffered from. idk why ppl have a problem w tht & want everything to stay elitist & boring as well but whatever i guess…
again, can we point to something in his ACTIONS to demonstrate his greatness? & not artificial light shining on him or someone else saying it or symbolically catching a burger! also this ‘symbolically’ doesn’t even necessarily allude to what y’all think it does but anyway
another indication tht y’all haven’t actually read b3 is the narrative ab how ‘conrad was doing stuff around the house & being amazing & jere was just there! bc he’s a lazy frat boy!’ when jeremiah was literally NOT LIVING IN THE HOUSE! bc unlike the other 2 he had a job but-
the dichotomy of loudly disliking the engagement plot but getting insane butterflies & being moved to tears by the proposal scene & not being able to do anything about it 🙂↔️
& then the part of the books that is supposedly meant to show the alleged compatibility between them is when they’re both aimlessly lurking around the summer house without jobs while jeremiah works. interestingly this also eventually results in them
me talking about the sand crab flashback & explaining how it demonstrates belly reflecting on how jeremiah makes her feel like she’s a first choice & ‘worthy of being chosen’ & then she decidedly chooses him over conrad but it’s too late & not enough-
omg ur so right wanting to stay w him, saying she didn’t want to see a mark on his face one day & not know how it got there & tht she couldn’t put the joy she felt into words when they got they got engaged is a clear indication tht she didn’t care or love him! ty for showing me!
me every time somebody yaps ab infinity in my presence & i gotta fight the urge to ask how it’s romantic when conrad only tosses that collar at belly when she’s moving on & he didn’t even gift it to her, he made her cry on her bday & she found it in a contraceptive drawer and-
NOT THE BUS ARGUMENT AGAIN 😭 bonrad math & bonrad geography! logistically makes no sense belly is in PHILLY! would’ve delayed the trip by over 5 hours when cobweb was missing
no, i don’t actually! again, i was specifically addressing the tired commentary about how jeremiah is a lazy, jobless frat boy & how ironic that is, considering he was factually the only one w a job & not living at the beach house unlike the other two. thanks tho!
Y’all act like Belly and Conrad have never had a day in their lives🙄 Conrad works in a lab and Belly worked as a waitress
Obviously they weren’t working that summer since they were in Cousins but they did have jobs
the way we didn’t get flagged for bullying conrad once in that live 😌💕 went on until my battery was low! i don’t expect it to last but i’ll be back soon. 🩷✨
the only singular time they spent time alone together was when he took her to the boardwalk to see another girl…nice try tho. & pulling away & shutting her out in grief/difficult times doesn’t scream compatibility to me personally but anyway
mind u it’s funny they connect tht bonrad convo to a BOOK plot tht hasn’t happened yet when tht convo didn’t even happen in the BOOKS! bc belly & con barely speak in them but idk
since y’all enjoy priv quoting me where i can’t see it 🤨 (much like ur fav who can’t say anything w his chest) i’m gonna give u something to yap ab! why do u have sm to say ab how obsessed belly is w con but no receipts of him doing anything to earn it? explain the romance! go!
see but the thing is this narrative isn’t correct. belly sent a few texts to jere in the fall which he understandably didn’t respond to & then she admittedly ‘forgot about him’ after tht. ie the funeral when she said she’d hang w him, got into a fight w con & dipped on him!
@the_eras3616
she literally tried reaching out to him multiple times
she tried to be there for him but he wouldn’t let her
and yeah grief can make you shut people out
but he can’t just say she left him when she very much did not
this is literally one of their most annoying talking points 😭 we are not stupid or lacking in comprehension for picking a side in a story that was written & marketed so that ppl picked sides!
A lot of these people only think this isn’t a love triangle because they already know who she marries. The point of a love triangle is one person has two options. One person not getting picked doesn’t negate that it’s a love triangle. It’s giving IF JOHNNY HAS TWO APPLES
and also even if this argument made any sense i’m begging y’all to realize tht conrad making his bed & doing dishes do not make him a good love interest nor does it erase & or make up for his demonstrated trash behavior & poor treatment of belly like what 😭
i made quite a few points actually! had nothing to do w the opposing ship, was laying out why i’d never enjoy a ship where boy digs at girls insecurities, lacks emotional support etc. confused as to why u inserted urself into my ‘pointless’ post if u had nothing to add but love!
There was literally no point made… that’s like me saying I am not rooting for bellyjere, regardless of the reason, that’s very obvious bc I literally ship bellyconrad like?😭😭
& see i’ve asked for examples of con emotionally supporting/comforting belly in either medium bc we see her do it for him but on his end it’s 🦗 & yet i’m crazy for pointing out tht emotional support is foundational w j&b & tht’s so much more important than sour patch kids and-
yep!! people will talk about bonrad and be like “look at how she looks at him” like yeah DUH, she’s the only one who caters, nurtures and comforts in that relationship!! when she demands comfort (through literal tears) he drives away like😭 they are NOT the same
if i ever say anything pessimistic ab jelly or ab how b3 belly is enemy & i want jere to cut everyone off, kno i prob meant it. but also know that’s my OTP & in my 🩷 they worked it out & i think ab it all the time & i luv them. it’s both ok! & i’m nvr changing my mind! 🤧
i certainly hope nobody expects me to root for a ship like that! that had nothing to do w why i made the post tho. by that logic i hope i never see you criticizing jeremiah or bellyjere! bc that would be ‘pointless’ 😤 just admit u didn’t get what was said & go cam
You don’t see how ridiculous it is to make a tweet saying that ur not going to root for bellyconrad as if that’s not common knowledge.. you are a very loud bellyjere, no one is expecting u to root for b/c regardless of the reason 😭😭😭
LITERALLY why do they say it like they did something 😭 jeremiah joined a frat. taylor joined a sorority. that’s it! ‘frat boy’ is their fav phrase but it’s crickets when conrad is canonically referred to as a f*** boy & sent a literal u up text but anyway-
“Well Jeremiah’s in a frat” yes…he’s in college…a lot of people join greek life in college…what’s the point of continually bringing this up? Urkel decided to go in another direction but what does that have to do with his brother doing something a lot of college aged people do?
yes exactly! it was! that’s what i said 😭 it had nothing to do with bellyjere & u insinuated it was pointless bc apparently me liking bellyjere is the reason i don’t like b/c. and the whole post was me explaining WHY i don’t like b/c with reasons LMAO like stay on track!
i remember when this was pointed out to me & i gasped so loud twas embarrassing 💔 B.C + J.F. FOREVER OR WHATEVER BELLY SAID IN CH. 24 OF WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE SUMMER- 😩
watch somebody say bUt wHo DiD sHe eNd uP WiTh 🤪 we have all seen the one page endgame & you’re only embarrassing yourselves by continuing to bring it up. this post is not for you!
i forgot that true love means degrading each other verbally, fighting & not speaking bc ur so in love. nobody likes the wedding plot, but it’s quite literally the opposite of evidence tht they didn’t care ab each/other their relationship .
@xlolatung
so you admit that he either doesn’t pay attention to what this girl says or thinks it’s okay to degrade & belittle her when he’s not being picked? okay lol
@HayleyStoick
Hayley I’m going to be honest this makes no sense & is based on HYPOTHETICALS that didn’t happen! jeremiah DIDN’T CHEAT!!! Laurel & John got divorced! if you think her wanting to separate herself from jere rather than reconnect proves ‘love’ that’s for you to ponder on, not facts
@HayleyStoick
jeremiah didn’t owe belly ANYTHING after she had already been lying to him & degraded him. believe me i know jere deserves better. she absolutely was in love with him tho. i’m not interested in ur unbased hypotheticals tho. be gone:
eloise’s plot is all gonna be about penelope and polin, francesca’s plot is about her debut and coming out to society meanwhile they hiding benedict’s plot like crazy
Dear reader, this author must inquire…what is the primary force that guides us on our paths? Is it our minds, or our hearts? Perhaps we should discover the answer together.... Bridgerton Season 3: Part 1 arrives May 16, only on Netflix
@shaysplanett
AND THAT’S IT!!! like ship them if u so desire but don’t put that on us!!! we’re not the crazy ones for enjoying generous/reciprocal love or pointing out that conrad’s precarious affection is damaging not romantic but anyway!!!
