SKINS!!!eleventy-one!!! OMG!!! Grace/Rich canon!!! <3 *flail of joy* and general thoughts on "Mini"
First off, Grace/Rich is canon - *squeeeee*! And already! *dance of joy* And it was so cute and first time kiss awkward and *flails*! Oh, please show, if you must rip my heart out, let there be lots of good Grace/Rich times first. Preferably, let them never break up, or if they do break up, have them get back together by the end of show and stay that way. And it better be that neither of them get killed off, or cheat. None of that show, none of that!
Of course, after watching episode 3, I went straight to making a screencap and icon of teh kiss. ;D
The tiny on-purpose-unreadable text says "first kiss".
(Want. Take. Have. Please give me credit. Feedback welcome. <3)
Okay, now other thoughts...
Mini...wow, what a mess. What a hot mess she is, OMG. :( Poor Mini! I feel sorry for her. She's horrible, but my heart goes out to her and I'm rooting for her to pull her head out of her arse and get her life together. During that whole last scene with Mini/Nick, I was yelling at the screen - You idiots! You idiots, both of you! Don't do it! Don't do it Mini, he doesn't love you and sex won't fix things! Save it for when you actually want to do it! Don't do it Nick, you don't love her and you know she's serious about you and you are being a douche for playing with her heart and being a lying cheating liar! No love, for Nick, right now. (Also, Mini, dear sweet Mini, if it hurts, that is a sign something is wrong/you and your body aren't ready, stop. It shouldn't hurt, ever. Uncomfortable first time, sure, possibly likely. Painful, no. Oh, Mini! T_T)
I love the insight we got into Mini and her insecurity. Poor thing. The only time's she is praised by her mum is for her looks (and her mum seems pretty messed up). That gym lady was horrid and shaming about eating and gaining a few frikkin' grams. Ugh, SMH for horrible gym lady. Mini's boyfriend Nick is clearly most interested in sex and does indeed only like her for her looks and for some laughs, and Mini wants something deeper than that. Her remaining best friend since Grace ditched her (go Grace! for your own good, you had to ditch her, she was being toxic and horrible), Liv, cheated with Nick (I've gotten to like Liv, but, dude, so not cool). And that fashion show was a disaster for Mini (much of it her own fault, but I still felt sympathy). Thank goodness Grace had all that stuff made already (Mini, you shouldn't have canned her) so the show could be saved, and it was so sweet what Liv said about Mini at the end of the show (this is where I fell in love with Liv's character - I'm very much looking forward to her episode and learning more about her). And I love what Franky said at the end about her seeing how underneath it all, Mini/Liv/Grace all cared about each other and looked out for each other (Mini and Liv have redeeming qualities and just need to not be so cruel and thoughtless of other people...something Grace already knew and could no longer stand to be around.) I really think Liv just needs to mature some more and she'll probably be fine, and Mini needs to mature and get over her deep insecurities. I'm rooting for you, Liv and Mini. You aren't my favorites (that spot is still reserved for the Fab Four of Grace/Rich/Alo/Franky) but I'm rooting for you. I'm feeling pretty pissed off at Nick right now, although I don't think he's pure evil, or anything like that. But he's being such a douchesandwich. And I hate how he was pressuring Mini and he should have just broken up with her/she should have just broken up with him, since Mini wanted something deep and wasn't ready for sex and he wasn't that invested emotionally and primarily wanted sex, and so they both needed to move on. Ugh.
More about Grace/Rich: Awwwww~! I think it's pretty obvious this was Rich's first kiss ever (he was all "wtf, first kiss happening now?!" and then "Okay, go for it!" and then all "yeah, yeah, don't rub it in, Alo."). I figure it was probably not Grace's first kiss, ever, but definitely Rich's, I think. (I'm not sure about Grace and virginity...it could go either way, IMO, but Rich is def a virgin and very virginal.) I found it very interesting that it seemed to have been Mini that was such and obstacle in Grace and Rich getting together (Rich feeling not totally accepted because of Mini and Grace worried about upsetting Mini), although Rich was obviously trying a compromise/new look for Grace with his bedazzled studded collar/bow-tie thing, so he was still holding out hope despite the Mini sitch. And I think Grace noticed this and that is part of what prompted her to go ahead and say flat out that she wanted to be more than friends with Rich. Mini being out of the way was like the clincher for Rich/Grace, but I think they were moving there, anyway. I love how it was Grace that was the one that was the assertive one in the relationship, and that's one of the things I liked about the ship in the last ep, too. I love the reversal of stereotypical gender roles, there.
Le sigh~<3 I'm so happy right now. And hungry. The tummy is rumbling that it's time to eat again.
