Let's talk about Eric Effiong

Let's be honest Eric's storyline and characterization is one of the most appealing out of all the characters in Sex Education periodt. A true gay, fierce, Drag QUEEN and I feel like ranting about this amazing force of nature. (Spoilers. Duh.)

When I saw the trailer for Sex Education it didnt even hit me that Eric was gay until I read the synopsis. Was just like "Oh I wonder which one of these three mains are the gay one people keep talking about" even after I saw him in drag like a dumbass 😣😂. Personally im glad we've reached a point where gay guys aren't overly feminine and even the brightest colours won't differ a character from the rest (unless I'm just a blind bish and he was obviously gay from the trailer) ei 👏🏾 ther 👏🏾 way; his character was refreshing when I started watching the show. I immediately clicked with him and knew what every look he gave or hand gesture he did meant. Felt nice. When Adam pushed him into the locker for the first time and started with the heterohomoerotic bs I knew that Adam had a raging boner for Eric and was another internalized homophobic bully™ and wasn't really excited for what was to come but I knew it was coming and tbh I liked it in the end.

Eric and Otis' friendship is so pure. Like?!? Get me a straight supportive bestie lilke Otis? Ik they fought but even then Otis was respectful and kept his boundaries and let Eric go through the motions before immediately belting into an apology at the first chance he got. Their dancing scene?!? Iconic. The fact that Eric sees Otis' house as safe and another home?!? Iconic. Otis going drag with Eric to watch an LGBT+ movie as a TRADITION (meaning they've done it numerous times)?!?! Iconic. The fact that Otis was straight up ditching Eric and Eric STILL tolerated him and let him do his thing without too much pressure!?! The most iconic of them all. Just pure love and respect all around.

I am so proud of Erics growth over the course of the season starting from a naive and scared gay doormat to facing homophia and getting beat up by those assholes on his birthday no less to losing his best friend and becoming depressed to channeling that anger into defending himself when people tried him to getting his sparkle back and coming back more fierce that ever before.

Speaking of him getting his sparkle back lets talk about that and why that scene is so important. A random guy asked Eric for directions and Eric noticed his nails were polished and the guy was wearing earrings and he was a big ole black dude. He was like Eric. When Eric noticed that the guy was out, loud, glamorous and proud he immediately switched back into the bright colourful and wonderfully gay Eric we all know and love.

THIS IS WHY REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!

It shows people that its okay to be who they actually are and inspires those who are lost to find or return to their true selves. Representation isn't just some offhand thing to throw on a character last minute. And even if you can relate to other characters who arent like you, it is always an amazing feeling to have a character that IS like you. It turned Eric from a popularity seeking doormat into a hurricane with 6 inch heels who was ready to straight up beat down a bully he's had for 4 years. It even inspired him to go back to church and rejoin a community that he closed off. That's exactly how it feels to have someone successful in the media and your life to look up to. Eric only interacted with that man for a few minutes but those few minutes changed his life for the better. So that's a lovely reminder for all who love to bash representation.

Back tracking to Eric's dull colourless period after the attack and his fight with Otis. It was saddening to see one of the brightest characters go dull and even the school felt it. He turned from a guy who rarely stood up for himself and what he wanted into the sass master he reserved only for his friends. All of his built up anger was released causing him to explode on Mr Hendricks (who is adorable tbh and just trying to do his best) and Anwar (I was proud of that punch you go glenn co co) and he even sounded off on his dad who he's usually passive aggressive to at worst. Just goes to show that the happiest faces can harbor the biggest pains and can snap. Moral of the story? Protect the happy few.

Eric also has a great family. Like that obviously know Erics gay and wears dresses because its all right there in his room which his parents enter at their leisure and while it seems that they're a bit homophobic its revealed that they (Erics dad at least) just wants Eric to be safe as he's already a target for being black and apart of an immigant family. He accepts Eric for who he is and what he does he just doesnt want anyone else to give him shit for it and if that's not one of the sweetest things in this world idek what is. Eric and his dad was probably one of my favorite dynamics in the show and watching his dad slowly fully accept that his son was strong and able to stand for himself he was able to become stronger too. This dynamic is important because I never see any gay black characters have a close relationship with their fathers and it was very heartwarming to watch.

Now onto Erics love life. He has a crush on the highschools other only gay guy Anwar who's the typical mean sassy gay we've all come to expect in highschool dramas. Otis saying that Eric doesnt have to have a crush on the only other openly gay guy at school was such a mood as its commonly shown that any gays in close proximity should get together. When Eric punched him I internally went "Finally!" Because all those jeers were becoming annoying. I'm glad Anwar got to come out to his mum over it though. And straight up told the audience that Eric didn't like feminine guys (alluding to him and Adams eventual clean up scene as of we didn't see it coming already).

Moving on to Adam tho, like I said we all been knew that this

was indeed coming and even though I hate the bully x bullied trope I still ended up liking it and hoping that Adam would change. The building up to that kiss was long awaited from episode 1 straight through to 8 with all the longing looks that Adam kept side glancing Eric with and the face cupping and the growls and the lingering touches. I just kept going sthdjksksbslaldbd when one of those moments happened followed shortly after with disgust because gays falling for their abuser is washed up but then immediately going back to jajaklamabsldkd because im shipping trash so 🤷🏿. Eric stepping to Adam in at the ball was one of the most iconic scenes of the show (along with the "Its My Vagina" scene) and the exchange between him and Adam gave be actual chills. The tension was THICCCC. Erics OUTFIT to the ball gave me chills 😭😭 dude came to slay and had everyone at that school proper shook and I honestly could NOT be more proud. I was hoping Adam would become a better person over the course of the season but nope so hopefully they cover all the issues that Adam has in season 2 and properly give him a redeption arc cuz he's still a trashy pos he's just a disaster bi on top of it. (Adam immediately going to suck Eric off is confidence I can only dream of achieving 💀💀) The lab scene was also cute but made me mad because how could Adam look scared, confident and still be a douchebag all in the span of a few seconds was beyond me. A+ acting on Connor Swindells part. I can see why Adam would have to stay in the closet and keep their... relationship?? a secret because it seems like Headmaster Groff would be a homophobic piece of shit and would add to the ever growing list of things Adam did wrong. Even so it doesn't excuse the fact that Adam is in fact a bully and Eric deserves much better. Was sad seeing Adam being driven off from Eric in the end tho. Eric thought that Adam didn't want to see him at all and was probably heartbroken and probably thinks Adam left because of him (my poor baby 😭😭). I feel bad for Adam too because he was just starting to express himself and was at the beginning of a redemption arc when he was just wisked away from the boy he's loved for what seems to be a very long time. I just want my boys to be happy and non toxic and I wish their relationship and them all the best in Season 2.

Eric Effiong is my favorite character in the show and I really want to thank Ncuti Gatwa for portraying him so well and for the shows writers who gave him a very fleshed out character with an amazing storyline and conclusion. His growth was incredible and his strength is immeasurable. I'm 100% certain that he will be a character the community remembers for years to come. Patiently now waiting on what's to come in Season 2 💙🙌🏾.

Heyyyy, anybody wanna hear about the bi panic moment I had last Friday that could’ve outed me to my mom so much that I continue to be shaken about it and can’t stop thinking about it almost a week later???

I know nobody’s gonna say yes so I’ll just put it under the cut, cuz I really need to let it out.

You see, I do have friends that know I’m bi, but they’re straight and most of them know of the person I’m gonna be talking about so... no. For post purposes, I’ll be calling this person Dana.

Context about this Dana person first. I met her my first year of high school and then we were like friends but not really on the same friend group on the daily, though our groups got together sometimes... we’ve almost always been in the same class too. Since the beginning I’ve always thought she’s super cute, attractive, smart, and so so so kind and gentle (like omg I could never) such a good person, the goodest person. Obviously eventually I got like a tiny crush on her. And by tiny I mean tiny, cuz fortunately the logical and rational part of my brain still has some control because: a) she’s straight (I’m pretty sure at least) b) beginning of 2nd year of high school she got a boyfriend (they had had a thing going on since before and they are still together today, he’s a great person too and they are like the cutest couple ever like who even gave them the right-). So just no, just no (that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped finding her attractive because bro I have eyes). Anyways, when uni started she was one of the few people of high school that ended up studying the same thing as me and in the same school, so naturally we became part of the same group. And NOW that we’re no longer in the general business classes and have been divided into our respective specialization majors (mkt) she is the ONLY friend I have in class so we talk every day now.

Okay, so last Friday I was leaning back on my bed, scrolling through Instagram as you do and my mom was putting away clean clothes in my room and kinda relying on the bed as she did so. Anyways, I’m looking through the ig stories and I get to Dana’s and y’all- she got a haircut. Since I’ve known her she’s always worn it like about shoulder length but now she cut it short, like it just reaches her lips and she just looks so good and god damn attractive like wtf. And I couldn’t just be a normal supportive friend about it and just like leave a positive emoji reaction to her story and just move on-NO I had to start a whole fucking conversation with her about it and giving her compliments like wtf is wrong with me??? (This last thing isn’t very relevant to the story pero pos ya vengo encarrerada). Anyways I’m just there staring and admiring her pictures like the bi disaster idiot that I am and suddenly out of fucking nowhere I hear my mom say (like y’all I even forgot she was there like wtf is wrong with me?)(this interaction was all in spanish obvs)

“Why are you making that face?”

“What face?”

“That little smirk, like you’re trying not to laugh.”

(Instant panic mode one) “Uhhh idk, idk what face you mean.”

“What are you looking at? That meme must be very good”

And that was it. THANKFULLY she assumed I was looking at memes, granted I do look at memes most of the time and most of the time when I laugh at my phone it’s a meme so it was a fair assumption to make. But BRO it was SO CLOSE like- I still had the pic open... What if she saw??? She was standing pretty close... Also, what face was I even making??? That remains a mystery to me am I really that transparent??? Is this crush like evolving like wtf is going on???? This would be like my first legit girl crush I’ve had (and the only one I’ve had these past few years) so I’m SO CONFUSED.

Also this is all so new to me??? Like I only came out to my bestie like in Dec or Jan idk though I’ve known for a few years??? And only came out to my other friend group like a month afterwards??? And like I’ve been thinking about telling my parents but ughhhhhhhhh. I mean I’m 100% sure they wouldn’t hate me because I have other queer cousins on my dad’s side of the family and everything on that front is fine (my dad’s side of the family is super chill about it too so idek what I’m agonizing about). Maybe because I’m just like the biggest introvert and most closed and shy member of the family??? Anyways the thing that worries me the most (more like the only thing that worries me?) is my mom and her side of the family, because they are more conservative and religious overall. Like I know they love me and ide have potential partners nor know anyone (boy or girl) that I would potentially like to be with so really for now there’s no reason to panic but it’s in the back of my mind constantly.

Also the other day I literally told my dad about how beautiful I find Dua Lipa and how amazing she is, I 100% meant it in the physical way he already knows I love her music, like I used hermosa (beautiful/gorgeous) and he didn’t catch on??? Idk what other kind of hint he wants to figure it out.

#personal #rant #bi panic
