"The last time I spent this long in bed was because I sprained a hamstring."

This is the first line of No Weddings and a Funeral and the first line we get to set Sam and Rebecca post hookup. Wow, it took watching this ep three times to really notice it...

This sets up so much: Sam is young, we know this, but this also tells us he likely hasn't been in a serious romance before. He's marvelling that something could slow him down (which god the way he was trying to find love, he definitely wanted Someone who could change the pace of his life). But this is the FIRST line of the episode. Right away the show wants to highlight Sam's naivete. Rebecca laughs at his statement but has no verbal response.

I know this relatively a small detail but it speaks to the richness of the writers' intentions. There is a world of difference between the two of them because of their age.

Side note: its nice that in this scene Sam both expresses the novelty of the relationship and then how he hates the secrecy. His ability to appear young and earnest with Rebecca shows his trust in her and his self-assurance. Is it a healthy relationship? We're not given enough time or info about it to know for sure. But it's undeniably an honest one filled with real care.

@friendsdream see I've been thinking about this a long time and like, i think a lot the reason why people are so slow to see Megan as bi is because her songs are about sex and fucking and a lot of folks (esp white people but honestly a lot of different folks) see queerness as only "pure" or "real" when centered around romance. i get that we have been burned by celebs using bisexuality as a marketing tool and a lot of us have internalized biphobia and think that when someone is talking about "experimentation" it means they're not actually bi. but you gotta let that shit go and free yourself. bi people fuck! they experiment sexually! and they can be freaks if they wanna be known as a freak!! (Meg has consistently called herself a freak so it's not even just in the context of this song)

But yeah like. if meg was talking about holding hands and longing glances the tumblr queers would be all over that shit. but becuase shes talking about Fuuuckin, people are calling it fake. think about it.
