“Hey Horny and Hornier,” John B calls out, “aren’t you supposed to be ‘providing for the family’?”
JJ doesn’t break the kiss when he flips John B off, instead laughing into it and pulling Kiara in by the waist again.
This night is one that JJ would want to document in a scrapbook if he had a crafty or sentimental bone in his body – but he doesn’t, so he’ll settle for memories worth their weight in gold made with his little family.
She rolls him until he’s rotated to his side, facing the door. She presses herself against his back, tucks her chin over his shoulder and winds her arms around his torso. JJ freezes for a minute.
“Is this…okay?” she asks.
“Yeah, this is okay,” he breathes.
“No,” she cuts him off. “You couldn’t, because I love you, and I’m not going anywhere.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah,” she says, cupping his cheek. He closes his eyes and moves forward, pressing his forehead against hers.
“I do too, you know that right?”
“I know.”
“She didn’t cringe when he brushed the hair out of her face and dropped a kiss to her forehead. She just stayed there, counting her breaths, and keeping herself stationary with her hands anchored to his hips.”
“I can’t lose you JJ. I won’t. I’m in it for the long haul, okay?” she says, raising a hand to his cheek. “It might not always be good, I might kind of hate you sometimes, but I’m always going to love you. And because I love you, I’m not walking away.”
She moves to stand next to him, looping her arm through his and laying her head on his shoulder.
“I like sappy.”
“This is real sappy.”
“Even better.”
“Fine,” he says, letting his head fall against hers. “I was thinking about what the, uh…what the future might look like for us.”
Her mouth twists into a mischievous smile before she grabs him by the collar and pulls him down to her, crushing his lips against hers.
He melts into her and winds his arms all the way around her. He even goes so far as to lift her off her feet, spinning her around in a circle.
Jiara Week 2023, Day 1: Canon Scene
I chose to focus in on a moment that kind of got cut out. As JJ and Kie are walking up the little hill by the side of the road, JJ seems to go to grab Kie’s hand and I wanted to expand on that!
#jiaraweek2023
I love OBX and TSITP but I’m telling you right now those kids would not get along. I’m 97% sure JJ would break out in hives just looking at the cousins crew
Jiara’s arc was very true to them.
Kie needed to finally be the one in charge of her own romantic direction, she hasn’t had that before, she was kind of just moving with the tide of other people’s feelings.
JJ needed/needs to deal with some serious trauma and trust issues-
He turns over on his side and waits for the familiar press of her chest to his back, the wind of her arms over his torso. But it doesn’t come.
“Kie?” he whispers. Nothing.
He looks over his shoulder in the dark and sees that she’s turned her back to him.
Shit.
obx 3 was great, I do however feel like there’s at least 30min-1 hour of deleted scenes that would make some plot points/emotional reactions more poignant and give them some more ground to stand on. RELEASE THE DELETED SCENES PLS
“Can we take another one?”
“Oh?”
“Well if you get one, I want one,” he sniffs.
“Awww, you’re jealous-”
“Not jealous. Just want a picture of you,” he admits quietly.
Crack shipping is fun and all but y’all need to be able to distinguish the difference between a crack ship and a real ship that actually has a chance within the narrative. Don’t attack people for shipping the ships that fit in the story vs the ones y’all made up.
Honestly s3 could have used at least one whole episode on Poguelandia where we saw how they were living and relating to each other to make the conflicts when they got back to OBX hit harder.
real quick:
1. JJ’s business is deep sea fishing charters and bait, don’t think it’s actual seafood
2. The Kildare surf shop thing is an ad for Sarah/JB’s store
3. That means the shirt Kie was wearing is from there not JJ’s shop
4. We knew Kie was saving turtles, good for her
This is my formal plea to the obx writers now that s4 is filming:
Please don’t forget that jiara have enormous potential to be fun together.
Yes they have a juicy dynamic for drama and that’s all great, but let them be fun and flirty too! It’s where they shine 🙏🏻
Pls Netflix I will take anything as content for obx.
Another .5 second clip, a single still, a month for a release, a video from the cast, a teaser ANYTHING 😭
