"Fuck dude - we're huge." You moaned

"Wanna hop back in for another shower?" your bro asks you as he pulls you under the water again...

OK people!!! Here me out you guys, I have a great book idea. Do everyone knows the song cruel summer by Taylor swift. But make it a book. So a girl goes with her best friend to spend the summer in a beach for the first time. And there she meets all her best friend friends from there and she fits in well with them. But she coach the fuck bad boy eye. But cause she's her she plays hard to get and she's sarcastic and pushes him away. But she's really just trying to hide her feelings, and you know it's all a slow burn romance. She decides that this summer was going to be the summer when she made all the wrong choices and finally lived a little. But as you know just her watching the boy and the boy just wanting her makes her want him.....spicy stuff ya guys know. but then she realizes that she's developing deep feelings and but shes still convinced it's only for.. smutt.... and since she's a virgin and all... she sleeps with him and makes it like a friends with benefits. They just go ahead and play around but never knowing she realizes she in LOVE... and then one night after a party she's drunk and all and then spills her feelings out and well... the boy is just developing feelings. Hes not in love yet. But when she feels him he just "smirks like the devil" and tells her is fine. But then stops coming and hanging out with her anymore. The girl knows its because of what she said and you know it's just sad. But THEN there was a storm in the harbor and the girl happened to be around there. Everyone though she was dead and that's when the boy realized he actually loved her. Well she's NOT dead and then they kiss and make up for what they said and he asks her to be his girlfriend. And in the last scene its when she's going back to the city after summer and promising to text him everyday, and that help try and go by in thanks giving brake.

What do you guys think?!

TSITP Ramble …::

WARNING!⚠️: potential spoilers for season, two and potential three and my opinion

I’m sorry after coming so much I TikTok I have to come here and do a rent…. I love Conrad and belly but let’s be honest his attitude is not it and with the way I know he’s going to treat her next season. It only makes me more mad watching the end of season one. Let’s be honest in the show he doesn’t want Belly until she makes it clear she’s done chasing him and it’s not that different in the books…….. Jeremiah at least had a valid reason why he was just starting to express his feelings because everybody always knew Belly liked Conrad. Even Susanna wanted Conrad and Belly together. And I kind of feel bad for Jeremiah area in that light cause….. well imagine you have a mom like Susanna pretty easy to talk to you about your feelings, but she agrees with everybody else that the one person you want should be with your brother and not you. I’ve got one word to describe that pain …OUCH!  I’m gonna be honest people completely forget the age difference between the boys to Conrad's older than Belly and Jeremiah both him and Steven would be leaving for college the next season while Jeremiah and Belly are closer in age. The whole series is about Belly finding herself and growing up as she gets older and finds who is where her heart truly belongs, Jeremiah was closer in age with belly, so I imagine him trying to find himself along the way to and I don’t think losing a parent mid trying to find yourself is easy (especially when it’s the person that brought you in the world. )  do I completely disagree with Conrad and belly ending up together Iand being end game? no because he’s a better person by the end of the books and I imagine he’ll be better by the end of the series 2, but I feel like in the books, Jeremiahs growth in character was sabotage by the girls that wanted Conrad and Belly together so badly of course it’s all revolves around belly, but then again, even coming into the series and the book even though belly describes Susanna’s words as wanting her with one of her sons, they always hinted that everybody always wanted it to be Conrad and no one expected it to be Jeremiah until he said something, but then again…. Why would he say something when it seems like no one would agree …RANT OVER!

I will never understand how people still think Conrad is BETTER for Belly than Jeremiah. Conrad was Daisy Buchanan and Belly was Gatsby. Which is funny because of all the Gatsby references this season. Jeremiah always loved Belly. Everybody is saying no Jere only started liking Belly the “summer she turned pretty” but did you see the flashbacks, Jeremiah has always been in love with Belly but always put her before him even if it meant not being with her. Conrad played with Belly’s heart all of season 1. Them almost kissing and then Conrad being an ass about it. When Jeremiah and Belly kissed Jere checked with Belly the next day to make sure they were still okay. Both boys Jeremiah and Conrad thought the Debutant Ball was stupid only difference is that when Belly asked Jere he agreed even though nobody thought even his own mother that he would ever go to one. And everybody is saying how Jere reacted to finding out Belly and Conrad kissed was over the top and dramatic but when Conrad found out Belly and Jere had kissed before hand he was like okay… flash forward to season 2 episode 8 and Conrad’s reaction to seeing Belly and Jeremiah kissing. Yes Jere had a reaction to finding out Belly and Conrad kissed because Belly and him had been “together” even if they weren’t dating. And Conrad’s reaction was so much worse this season when him and Belly were no longer together. Also Conrad essentially slut shaming his brother, not okay. And when Jeremiah wanted to keep his distance from Belly when they went to find Conrad and he wanted to stay mad he couldn’t. But Conrad’s reaction to seeing Belly at the summer house : “What’s she doing here” like wtf do you think you are. Conrad doesn’t communicate with Belly, he thinks he knows her so well but in reality he really doesn’t. While Jeremiah is always there for Belly and communicates with her. Also Conrad telling both Belly and Jeremiah to “grow up” when in reality he needs to grow up. Even Belly told Jeremiah that they had grown up and things were different. And the whole funeral thing when Conrad tells Belly he knew it was a mistake starting something with her and that entire thing like why was everybody only mad at Belly, Conrad was also very much in the wrong here. Belly wasn’t trying to make that day about her. Susannah was literally Belly’s second mom. Susannah’s death was hard for all of them. And I’m not denying that Belly and Conrad had some cute moments but they were so toxic for each other and manipulative. The both of them. And Jere was also a bit “toxic” don’t get me wrong but if you compare how the two of them treat Belly it’s clear who treats her better. And in episode one of season two when Belly calls Jeremiah, she calls him first, Jere was like oh did Conrad not answer but Belly called him not Conrad. Belly and Jeremiah were always best friends and that’s the best way to turn into something more. So excuse me for being TEAM JEREMIAH all the way, since episode one.

I think one of the most annoying things is how Conrad kept telling everybody to grow up but the thing is they were but he wasn’t. Like I get it Conrad you have anxiety and you’re mom was dying but Jere was also going through it and he was literally there watching Susannah die. And there is this whole argument how Belly ruined Jeremiah and Conrad’s brotherhood but that wasn’t just Belly, both boys did it to themselves. Like they let Belly come between them, Conrad lied to Belly saying Jere was over her when in episode seven eight it is very much confirmed that Jere never got over her. And the communication was never there. Like I get the whole idea of how Belly and Conrad are just cute but like that doesn’t mean they are a healthy couple. They literally never communicated. Like who knows if Conrad was even trying to actually break up with Belly at prom but they don’t communicate so it all just fell to shit. Meanwhile Jeremiah and Belly talk things through. Like the car ride to cousins when they got the flat tire. Great example of them talking out their feelings and problems. And Conrad as the older brother overlooked Jeremiah as well, Jere always put on a smile but Conrad never noticed how hurt and how much pain Jere was really in. But Jere always tried to put Conrad’s feelings first. And the way Conrad told Belly on the beach that Jeremiah wouldn’t care that they got together because Jeremiah doesn’t take anything seriously like that’s bs. And I can get people liking Conrad as a character (sometimes, other times he’s a complete dick) but I will never understand how anybody could support Conrad and Belly as a couple. And it’s fine if you don’t like Belly and Jeremiah (which would be insane) as a couple but like how do you say Jeremiah is toxic but not Conrad. And people are making this big deal about how Conrad remembered her favorite candy and Jeremiah forgot, but you know what Jeremiah didn’t forget, everything else, he remembered Belly’s guidance counselor suggesting Finch as a school she could go to, he puts Belly first. Multiple times Jeremiah has been willing to or has given up his own happiness for others, like telling Conrad that if Belly chooses him he wouldn’t come in the way because he just wants Belly to be happy and his brother as well, and when Belly goes to tell Jeremiah who she picked Jere immediately thinks she chose Conrad so he tells her they can still be friends.

And I know I’m just going on a rant and this doesn’t completely go with what I was saying but anybody who thought the car ride back from Brown with Belly, Jeremiah and Conrad was just cute and funny and that Conrad was just being playful, are very much blind to the toxicity and blatantly disrespectfulness of the situation.

If you would like my opinions on other topics in the show or other shows (if I’ve seen them) let me know I love ranting about things.

Is it just me or after watching a show and then going to listen to music do you put the characters into the song like you hear a song and go that fits perfectly with so and so or so and so’s relationship. Cause like I’ve noticed myself doing this also.

I will also take a screen shot of the song to plan and do an edit on it but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Examples:

How can you believe Jere always put Conrad’s feelings first? He interrupted their kiss, he tried to set him up into going to a concert to get him away from belly. He went after belly the next day having watched them almost kiss and seeing how happy it made Conrad. He’s constantly telling belly that Conrad is awful and will break her heart. He shouted at her multiple times over her and Conrad and insulted Conrad to his face saying he doesn’t wanna know him. Meanwhile Conrad only ever talks positively of Jere towards Belly. And asked Jere for his permission to go back to Belly. Which Jere didn’t do when he kissed her on Conrad’s car in his sweatshirt at his school. Jere is ALWAYS being selfish. Just wondering how people don’t see it?

Okay so I see where you are coming from but…

I never said Jeremiah ALWAYS puts Conrad’s needs before his. And for the most part Jere does put others first. Jeremiah had been hinting to Belly how he was feeling about her. And yes I agree it wasn’t the smartest or nicest thing to set off a firework next to Belly and Conrad but sometimes impulses win over and I admit it wasn’t his finest moment. And Jeremiah got angry towards Belly when she told him that her and Conrad had kissed after Belly and Jeremiah had been “together” for a little while. I’d be pissed too if my significant other (of any sort) went and kissed one of my siblings. And everybody always knew that Belly had a crush on Conrad but Jeremiah really thought he had a chance with Belly then because they were closer so hearing that she just went to Conrad the second it was possible must’ve felt like being backstabbed. And he was also going through the news of just finding out his mom’s cancer was back. And the only other time Jeremiah “yelled” at Belly was when they got the flat tire on the way to cousins. And Jeremiah never said anything about Conrad he told Belly how her practically abandoning him felt. And the talked through their feelings. Conrad however did yell at Belly. He also told Belly that it was a mistake they ever got together. And then breaking up with Belly at her prom even if he wasn’t trying to was low.

The things with Conrad and Jeremiah fighting did not only surround their relationships with Belly. Jeremiah was/is mad that Conrad knew Susannah’s cancer was back and didn’t tell him. Jeremiah was also in his senior year of high school having to watch his mom die. Conrad was at collage and wasn’t home everyday to be there for them. And I get that he couldn’t be but he also had the time to go spend a bunch of time in Philly with the Conklin’s? He could have spent some of that time with his mom. And Conrad lied to Belly saying that Jeremiah was fine and was over her when that is not at all what Jeremiah had said. Jere literally said that he went to prom with Blake because homecoming king was pretty much preordained. He also said he took Blake instead of calling him his date. Belly and Conrad had been broken up and he did not NEED to get permission to go and date Belly from Conrad. Also Jere never talked bad about Conrad to other people.

And Jeremiah literally told both Belly and Conrad that if Belly chose Conrad it would be fine if that’s what she needed and he wouldn’t get in the way and they’d still be friends.

So YES, Jeremiah Fisher is ALWAYS SELFISH. It’s not like he puts on a fake smile to pretend he’s okay when he’s not. He totally didn’t put Belly’s needs before his letting Belly be with others while he’s in love with her.

Just wondering how do you not see how TOXIC Conrad is. His constantly telling people to grow up. Telling Belly their relationship was a mistake. Conrad pretending they didn’t almost kiss. His playing with Belly’s emotions. Flirting with Belly while he was with Nicole. Shutting everybody out. Oh and his reaction and response to Belly and Jeremiah kissing.

I don’t think Jere had any right to be annoyed at Conrad for kissing belly. They weren’t significant others in any definition of the term, they had only kissed a few times, which he had done with several other people that summer. Jere hadn’t been hinting at all how he felt. In fact he had many opportunities to, at the bonfire before she met cam, but some other girl called him away and he went to flirt with her instead.

Conrad didn’t break up with belly at her prom, she broke up with him. He just wanted to go home to his mum and kept saying how bad he felt for letting her down on that night, he even asked her “don’t do this” but she left him. Conrad went home to his mum as much as he could, and we saw in season one how much he took care of her. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t allowed to spend time with belly or that he should of spent that time with his mum instead, seeing belly and being supported by her was one of the only happy things he had in his life.

I do think that Jere needed permission to kiss belly after she broke up with Conrad. Sorry but, kissing your brothers ex, two months after they broke up and one month after your mum died isn’t something I believe is okay to do. Jere also does talk badly of Conrad, he tells belly that Conrad will break her heart, he also insults Conrad to his face and says he’s not someone he would ever want to know which is horrible.

He’s constantly telling people to grow up because that’s what he’s been forced to do, so he finds it difficult that others don’t have to do the same. He’s always been told by his dad and both mums that he has to look after everyone because he’s the oldest, even though it’s only by one year. That kind of pressure is insane for an 18 year old.

Him and Nicole were never exclusive or in a relationship, he does apologise for leading her on, and accepts accountability for that. But they were never exclusive, and Nicole even says that her feelings aren’t hurt, he just wasted her time. He shuts everybody out BECAUSE he puts them first, he doesn’t want to burden them with his problems. Which is why he doesn’t tell anyone about his mums cancer. I’m not saying it’s healthy or good, but it is coming from a place of care for others over himself. He’s been told he has to take care of them all, so he shields them from his problems.

His reaction and response to them kissing I feel was justified, they were kissing on his car, and campus, when they only broke up two months ago. And were together for at least six months and slept together. If you feel that you can rationalise Jeres reaction and say it’s normal for him to be pissed, when he had only shared a couple of kisses with belly. Then surely you can see why Conrad would be upset that his brother kissed his ACTUAL ex girlfriend. Who he had a serious relationship with.

No I very much see how Conrad being pissed that Jeremiah and Belly were kissing on his car is rational. I just feel that everything he said wasn’t justified. He slut shamed Jeremiah which is not okay. And I never said I don’t like Conrad. I understand Conrad. I just think that Jeremiah is better for Belly. Also the fact that the two of them slept together should have any impact on their other relationships. It was a special moment for them but does not mean they owe each other anything.

And I do think Jere being upset at Belly and Conrad kissing is valid too. Both boys have feelings for Belly so it’s going to be upsetting no matter who it is.

Jeremiah was very subtle with how he felt but if you remember the pool scene when Jeremiah is saying that he’s been waiting for his time. He had stepped back when she went after Cam and he stood back because he knew that Belly had been crushing on Conrad for years. But he felt that it was his chance to be something more.

The prom break up I do admit was very messy and unclear. Belly felt Conrad pulling away from her and thought he was breaking up with her. And Conrad wasn’t being very clear about the situation and he was walking people out because he was going through a lot. It was a bunch of miscommunication which is what I was saying in the first place. They communicated with each other poorly.

And I wasn’t saying that Conrad shouldn’t have spent any time with Belly, they were dating and I love that he went out of his way to be with her. But Jeremiah’s frustration of having to go through it (Susannah’s death) alone while Conrad was at school is also valid. And I know Conrad loved and cared for his mom but school took a toll on that. I’m not saying that he never went to visit his mom and brother but it was definitely rough on all of them.

Yes Jere does tell Belly that Conrad is going to break her heart, and we’ll be did. He was pissed that he was losing Belly to Conrad and that his mom was dying. But he never talks bad about him to other people besides that. And yes Jeremiah says some really cruel things to Conrad this season and I’m not trying to excuse him for this but Conrad did belittle Jeremiah’s emotions. When Belly told Conrad that Jeremiah had told Belly that he had feeling for them and that they had kissed, Conrad says that Jeremiah won’t care because he doesn’t take anything seriously and flirts with everybody. But when Jeremiah was “with” Belly he was very loyal to her.

And yes while Nicole and Conrad were never really official or exclusive they were still “seeing” each other. And being led on by someone for them to text somebody else you’ve become close to that what they said earlier was a lie and he really wanted to ask her. Also after telling Nicole that he was going to ask Belly ONLY because his mom was making him.

On the aspect of him telling people to grow up though, I don’t entirely agree with you there. Conrad might of had to grow up sooner than he should have but so did Jeremiah. Jere was literally handling Susannah’s medical bills and the insurance. Which no kid should have to do. But as somebody who went through something “similar” in a way where I had to grow up before I should of had to at 9 I can’t understand fully Conrad’s behavior.

And I do agree that the parents are way too hard on him but sometimes that comes with being the oldest, which doesn’t make it okay. But Adam (the boys dad) was also never so easy on Jeremiah either. He constantly compared them to each other and made Jere feel bad that he wasn’t athletic and that he wasn’t playing football.

Conrad walling people off was not entirely him trying to protect them. I do think it was his own coping mechanism though. And I mean a lot of people do it. But I understand how the people around him felt hurt by him when he did it. He should have told his mom that he knew about the cancer, that way Susannah not Conrad had to go through all that alone. And I do think that Conrad should have told Jeremiah about it as well but I also see how it’s not his place to tell him. But again I’m not saying Conrad is doing it to be mean but that’s how a lot of people first hand may end of viewing it.

Also I never said nor will I ever say that Conrad doesn’t put other people first it’s just in a very different way and people may not know it.

All I’m saying is that Jeremiah and Belly are the better couple. All three of them have their issues and flaws that they need to work on but they also have beautiful things about them.

I suppose we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I think it’s very easy for jelly to be seen as a better couple, but that’s because they don’t really care enough about each other for there to be passion or tension. They clearly lust after each other a lot, and I do believe they have a great friendship, but that’s all I see there, whereas with Conrad it’s a true deep love, maybe messy at the start but deeper nonetheless.

I think Jeres an easy rebound for belly. Which she even basically admits, when she says to Taylor that she will never be able to love anyone the way she loves Conrad, and she goes onto tell Jere that she wants Conrad but will settle for him because he’s real. As much as I dislike jere I do think he deserves better than that. And ultimately that’s what will happen in season three I suppose. My only wonder is if they will stick with the cheating storyline, or leave it trying to paint Jeremiah in a positive light and have belly and Conrad get back together in a different way.

I guess we will. I see the passion in both relationships. Both Conrad and Jeremiah truly love Belly. But I do think Conrad and Belly was just a built up what could be that it would never live up to what Belly imagined. Cause to her Conrad was a dream. And I think what Belly said to Jeremiah wasn’t that she was settling for him but that because they’ve grown up Belly realized that Conrad could never be what she wanted him to be but Jeremiah loves her and she loves him. Jeremiah is there fighting for her this season and I think Belly also really starts fighting for her relationship with Jeremiah too.

As for seeing Jelly as the better couple I actually very rarely see people saying that. Everybody typically is always like Bonrad because Belly had been in love with Conrad for so long. And I also wouldn’t call Jeremiah a rebound. There was a 2 month or so gap between the break up and the get together.

As for Belly not being able to love anybody the way she loved Conrad that honestly makes sense. A first love is always remembered and is always different. It’s a point where everything is new and great and nothing compares. But that doesn’t mean the next person you love, you love any less. It’s a different type of love. You’ll always love your first love. It’s the love of the fact that you were in love and got to feel it.

Maybe it’s a difference in opinion but I feel two months is a very short bounce back from your first relationship. Especially when you’re bouncing back in a stage of grieving and onto his brother. As for Jelly fans maybe you’re on the wrong corner of this web! The majority I’ve seen out there esp on TikTok and tumblr are jelly skippers and I’ve seen jelly edits with like close to a million likes. So there’s definitely people out there that share your opinion. I think they both think they love each other, but if the show follows the books they will both realise that they don’t know or love each other in anymore than a platonic way. Which I feel is what’s being foreshadowed already. But it’s interesting to hear different opinions. Especially when they’re respectful as you are.

I agree I think we definitely view and understand the characters differently and that’s okay.

Two months though while not a lot is also a lot. A lot can happen. And I agree it does seem a little fast but Jeremiah already knew he loved Belly and Belly I feel had been thinking more about him recently and she realized it was him for her. But I do see how it seems very just forced. And Conrad technically wasn’t Belly’s first relationship but he was her first love

I love being repeatedly being called a bitch and that I should go into the fertilization business because I am defending a character. Like I haven’t even bashed any other characters but that you. Go defend how Conrad is also a toxic asshole. Neither of the boys are perfect. Also the TV show is not exactly the book. Try watching the show with an open mind and look at how they both treat Belly and each other. I believe Jeremiah wasn’t worried about Cam being with Belly because he didn’t think Cam would hurt Belly but he knew that no matter how it ended with Belly and Conrad it would hurt her.

i can't believe the "sometimes i think you're a little too good at being fine" "isn't that what everyone wants me to be?" scene exists and people STILL think conrad is the neglected one in that family.

I'm both Team Jeremiah and Team Conrad, so I always stay winning 😎. LOL, but I do love both boys even if I may complain about Conrad sometimes.

if i see one more post comparing stelena with jelly or stefan with jeremiah im going to lose it. bonrad is so stelena coded

If my summer isn’t like this...
