emily & sue (dickinson) | too young

Описание: me: I'm going to edit emisue to ivy
me: makes this instead

okay but replace every "water fountain" with "orchard" and this is their song, I will not take questions at this time.

I did my big stream of consciousness thoughts on dickinson s2 in my emily video description (self promo:    • emily dickinson (s2) | everything i wanted  ) but I'll spare two words about emily and sue because I love them and I hate that I'm not 100% happy with their happy ending.

I get what they were trying to do with their characters and their relationship this season, and I think they mostly succeeded, too. I just think they took it a bit too far for it to be realistically and satisfyingly torn down in one single scene, even a great one like the one we got.

We needed just a couple more moments, some glances, a line here or there as any indication of Sue's feelings. I get that she's trying to repress them but even then, she wouldn't be able to control herself so completely 24/7. there was that heartbreaking scene of her folding into herself after a fight with austin, and that scene with mary - which odd choice but ok - but they didn't feel like enough, or specific enough. and yes, she does constantly tell Emily she's a genius and deserves to be published but that too doesn't really feel personal enough.

As far as Emily goes, I think her journey this season actually makes sense. Even the back and forth between wanting to be published and dreading it, as irritating as it may seem at times, feels true to her character, who's completely guided by her ever fleeting emotions. Plus it's like the biggest decision she'll ever have to make, so I think it's fair for her to mull it over for a bit.
I'm not a fan of the aggression at the end of the fight scene. Again, I understand the intentions behind it, but it felt oddly ooc for me. I don't see Emily being physically violent in any situation, not in that way.

All in all I loved the fight scene and Emily and Sue finally talking candidly about everything that's been going on, I just wish there had been a clearer development of it throughout the season. This argument basically mirrored their 201 scene. And I know they've been mostly apart for nine episodes but I wish we got to see them explore their feelings individually a little more - again, mostly Sue.

...yeah I lied and gave you another stream of consciousness. it is what it is. enjoy!
