Oh I have to send another ask to talk about more Jiara how much did you love how both times JJ dropped the treasure hunt and the trip with John B and Big John to save Kiara? Everything with Jiara was amazing this season all except no second kiss and the finale didn't have as much with them. The reunion had to be my favorite where he was asking if they hurt her in a soft voice. How are we going to get through this hiatus? I could barely wait when we had a week left.
i have literally not stopped thinking about jj consistently choosing kiara over the treasure since i watched. JJ's line in the first episode when they are looking at the painting of the burning boat - "it's about the gold, not kiara. it doesn't help us." like WHAT. it so clearly shows where his head is at and what he considers important and it makes me want to SCREAM. and in episode 9, when they are waiting to go save Big John, he was so antsy and he was so upset that everyone was literally, like, five minutes late and he needed to go but then kiara's not there and he KNOWS something is up. He goes from not waiting to wait even a second longer to delaying his whole trip by 8 hours and telling the other pogues to go on without him because he needs to save kiara. LIKE.
i do wish we got a second kiss in the finale but i think s4 is going to serve. i also LOVED the reunion on the dock scene - it's between that and the high five after they get on the plane to South America for my favorite scene.
hiatus is gonna be something for sure alkjdsfhlkasjdfhsdf but here's to hoping early renewal means early filming means early release!!!

***Obx s3 spoilers***
This is just my opinion
1. Why did we get only 10 minutes with them on the island?? I think after s2 finale all I could think about was what they were doing on the island and I just wanted to see a bit more of that
2. I liked that Kiara acknowledged that screaming murderer at Ward was the DUMBEST fucking think to do
3. Rafe and Kiara working together was fun. Kiara pushing Rafe and stealing his boat to save everyone was everything I wanted and more! Also people ship them now???
4. The group dynamics was off the minute they got back to the obx. I miss their little conversations in between reminding us they are still awkward teenagers
5. This might be controversial but I liked jiara. I think being stranded on the island changed things for all of the Pogues but especially them. jj was happy and not in his usual fight or flight mode he had to be in to survive in Kildare. Yeah living on a deserted island is hard but at least no one is beating you and making you feel worthless. And I think that for Kiara saving jj and almost losing him gave her a opportunity to explore her feelings after the whole Pope fiasco.
6. Pope and Cleo were the cutest freaking thing! I just wish they weren't so separated from the group all the time.
7. I don't like John b's father, I think him and Ward are not that different.
8. Also big John isolating John b from his friends and making him lie to them "for their safty" was a very shitty thing to do.
9. I liked the little detail of big John getting shot in the same place Sarah was shot.
10. Wards little Christian awakening was a bit weird but I think it's more of a me thing than a show thing
11. Topper helping to steal the "cross" was hilarious
12. I liked Topper burning down the chateau after being manipulated by Sarah (again). I don't think he should have done that or that it was justified in any way but he did kinda showed his true colors
13. Did kie's parents see big John, Ward and Luke and think what horrible thing can we do that they haven't done yet? They kinda tried with the phone and the money but not really... what I thought could be nice is if she forgave them in the time jump (they were in the crowd cheering at the end) but she would get emancipated
14. The little shove/hug between Sarah and jj was everything to me. I love this friendship and I wish we got to see more of that
15. And just more of all the platonic relationships in the group
16. I definitely think we needed more group scenes. Their chemistry is what made this show so fun and compelling.
17. I liked that Sarah addressed the weirdness everyone felt after getting off the island
18. The time jump was annoying but I get it, they didn't know of there would be a fourth season bc Netflix is known to have canceled shows that seemingly are loved by viewers (I'm still bitter about The Society but that's for another time) so just in case they did get canceled we get (kinda lame) closure.
19. Why did that old dude come to them with the blackbeard thing?
20. Again I'm gonna say I loved jiara and how they handled it because they knew it will have consequences on their friendship and it's something they are not willing to give up on it easily. Kie taking a leap of faith and jj recoilling bc he's afraid to lose it was very touching
21. When presented with the opportunity both John b and pope went for it but jj who is seen as the most reckless one actually took a step back.
22. I liked that Sarah made the choice to be with them, she had all the reasons to stay with Topper but she didn't. I didn't like how cliché they made it but I liked the choice aspect.
23. The scene where jj and John b fighting on the grass and shoupe just standing there chef's kiss
I'm sure I'll have more but I'm off to re-binge it all again

I wish Kiara talk to more people about her love for JJ and I wish we actually addressed his abuse what Mike did felt like a trigger that could've brought back some PTSD. Oh and let's talk about the kiss I love every second of it but could the lightning been better and they shouldn't of zoomed out near the end I wanted to see them up close where their hands are of them going for another kiss ugh I can't go anther year without them they're my favorite.
I am over the moon and so grateful for what we did get but I also do believe jiara was underwritten at times during this season. We really needed a Sarah x Kie scene where she was able to vocalise what had changed with JJ (and we came so close to that) but more than that I think we needed a scene where JJ spoke with someone (ideally John B) about what was going on for him so we could get a better read on his journey. As it stands, we go from "it's not gonna work" in Happy Anniversary to "I love you too" in Kitty Hawk with no significant connective tissue in between. Like, we know he loves Kie but how did he get to the point where he decides to push down that fear and take the leap.
We got some really great stuff with Mike and JJ there (fuck Mike Carrera though), it felt like fan fiction at times honestly. But yeah, JJ dealing with his abuse didn't really get touched on that much (in the way that interviews seemed to suggest it would). Maybe there were scenes cut that explored that more, I don't know, I suppose that is what fanfic is for now. I think I was a victim of my own hype a bit but those pre-release interviews has me foaming at the mouth for lots of deep JJ stuff.
The giffer in me did die inside a little when I realised they were about to kiss in that dark ass room. I do LOVE that wide shot of them though, the way his hands run up her side???? oH mama. Hopefully S4 can bring us a beautiful daylight kiss.

Raw thoughts here, so sorry for the scattered mess!
I wanted more of the Pogues together.
It felt like there was too much time with just John B and Big John.
Cleope was cute.
I actually wanted to like Topper, but nah. I hope Rafe continues to be a villain, because I don’t need more people sympathizing with him (and so not here for a love triangle with him). Also, Rafe is a POS for melting down the cross. I was hoping to see him get his ass handed to him by Pope and JJ.
Jiara moments for me were the creme de la creme (let’s be honest, they were the reason I got invested in the show — both together and apart). There are so many positives here, but I want to share my complaints first lol I wanted more scenes with them! Maybe more feral JJ. Better closure between Pope and JJ. More kisses (hello, final episode?). And I’m sad about the time jump because we didn’t get to see key moments at the start of their relationship. And I was hoping the machete scene in the jungle would have been better, like an ambush or something.
Mike pissed me off, but it was nice to see Kie’s mom making an effort. Wish we could have seen some form of reconciliation between the Carerras and JJ.
Okay, but he longing/angst etc. was so good. THE HUGS. Holy shit. AND THE KISS. And we actually got the “I love you” — I cried. And I cried after it was all over because now we have to wait at least another year. Excuse me? I keep replaying these scenes, and I’m just basking in them. So much to dissect here.
HI HELLO thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!! overall, i agree with pretty much every point you've made here ajshdakjdh but let's see if i can ramble about more specifics. the answer is yes and strap in cause this is a mess
the lack of pogues content (core 4 and entire group alike) is my absolute biggest gripe about the season. it legitimately made me so sad to see them split up for what felt like the majority of the season. it was definitely one of my worries going into the season since we knew it would be more romance based and the pogues have been paired off, but damn. i really thought they'd still find a way to have the pogues working together more often. it really felt like they were barely a part of the entire mystery, and it actually made me so angry that only jarah b got to see el dorado or even really do anything in south america. the pogues are the heart of the show, but i think with all the drama and the massive scope of the plot in this season, they got massively pushed to the side, and that stings. the first 2 episodes were gold mines for pogue content, while the rest of the season is a massive drought
the john b and big john stuff was also a big issue, one that's definitely directly connected to the lack of pogue content. and i understand why there was that rift, and in theory, i do like the arc for john b. i just wish it was paced better. in no world would i ever want the pogues' dynamics to suffer in favor of big john development like ?????? who wanted that????? i was also rooting for him to die the entire season so. glad he did and i'm not sorry about it.
cleope was so fucking cute!!!!!! i love how sweet and generally uncomplicated their romance was, it was such a needed tonal shift from jarah b and jiara. i kind of wish they'd done a bit more with fleshing out cleo's backstory as well as the "no love club" thing, which they literally only mentioned twice. but on the positives, i adored seeing cleo interact with pope's parents, her reaction to getting a room all to herself, and them pretending to be engaged in episode 5 that was fucking hilarious. their chemistry was off the charts
i never want to like topper but i actually did not expect to hate him even more than i already did, cause i literally thought that was impossible. but no. would you look at that. he's managed the impossible. i hope he burns in hell!!!
speaking of burning in hell, yeah rafe still sucks but is still the most compelling villain on this damn show by far. it was cool seeing him fly off the handle and go too far with his independence and then have to reel it back in by the end. i do wonder where the hell he ended up though, since we never saw him again after the airstrip. the whole ending scene was weird, but it was extra weird that we didn't get any sign of him, not even a tease. and yeah, i was hoping so badly for jj specifically to FINALLY get to fight rafe this season but. guess not. the pogues barely interacted with rafe at all cause carlos took up so much room as the new big bad.
jiara was overall such a highlight for this season!!!! i do think the writers hyped it up a little bit too much, calling them "the romance of the season" was kind of misleading imo, but YES WE HAVE CANON JIARA!!! i 100% agree about having another jj and pope conversation near the end of the season, i was truly SHOCKED that they never confided in each other about their respective relationship troubles, or really that none of the pogues talked to any of them at all???? not getting to see sarah ask kie about jj post-reunion hug was actually a fucking travesty and i'll never forgive the pates for it honestly. that one moment of john b realizing it in episode 9 was ADORABLE but god it just made me wish we'd gotten more of it. that's really how i feel about so much of the bright spots of this season, lots of potential and groundwork that was laid, but rushed execution. BUT there's also so many positive things to say about jiara!! the fucking hugs we got were incredible and so emotionally charged, every time kie looked at jj you could see her affection written so clearly across her face, and i ADORED how she was so open in expressing it to him. (although i wish there was more direct exploration into the trauma that didn't allow jj to accept that love at first, and more insight into what exactly changed on that front between the anniversary party and the kiss cause it kind of felt like something was missing there). i was hoping for a bit more feral jj too, but i was very pleasantly surprised by the slightly less aggressively feral, but more soul-crushingly worried feral jj that we got. plus the entire scheme of breaking kie out of kitty hawk was so great, he was on a mission and failure was not an option. and then adding onto all that, we got lots of great banter, lots of longing, some beautiful score and soundtrack moments, all in all: we won.
but even with that being said, i'm also 100% with you about the weirdness of the finale, in terms of jiara. i was floored that we didn't really get much of anything for our one episode with established jiara?????? not even a hand hold or a protective arm around the shoulders, idk i haven't rewatched it yet so maybe i'm missing some crumbs, but cleope and jiara in the finale were both so lackluster (aside from cleope's love confession of course that was so fucking adorable). it felt like they had no real reason to even be in south america in the first place, and the limited screen time they did have felt so wasted.
and then yes. we have the time jump. oh the time jump. i had a bad feeling we'd get one, but i was hoping with everything in me that it'd just be a couple of months. not eighteen of them. i can't even express how bummed that ending made me, it was so rushed and didn't really explain anything, and it sucks that we've missed out on such formative periods for both jiara and cleope. BUT my lovely jiara friends are giving me some hope for young adult pogues and all the goodness that could come from that and seeing established jiara a little bit older and more free. i'm also hoping that with the characters finally being older, the show might let itself get more mature again cause holy shit i miss when they let these kids curse whenever they wanted. also jiara sex scene that's all i'm saying
and last but not least, mike fucking carrera. bane of my existence. another gripe with the time jump is that he and anna are cheering for kie?????? so maybe they've reconciled off screen????????? i sure fucking hope not. i really felt for anna for a while too, i liked that she was making an effort to mediate and try to see kie's perspective while mike was so blinded by his own ties to the cut. but anna lost me again when she went along with sending kie away after all. that scene was genuinely bone-chilling, and i don't see any reconciliation from that. kie is with the pogues now. period.
this got so long so fast i am so sorry

I hate that we didn’t get a cute jiara moment near the end of the finale when they were hiking through the jungle they could have easily added another kiss or hug during that journey I especially wanted Kie and JJ to hug or at least JJ put his arm around Kie or Kie laying her head on JJ’s shoulder when they were all in the boat watching big John die or when they were all standing together after they made Big John and Wards funeral we were robbed!!
They could've done a much better job with 3x10 overall, but you know what, the more distance I get from it, the less I hate it. I mean sure, we didn't really get anything overtly coupley, but jiara were presented as a unit from start to finish. My bet is the writers just wanted to give themselves the breathing space just in case jiara didn't get the reception they were expecting them to, so they kept them "safe". There's also the fact that episode was all about John B and the pogues and they didn't have time to tell anyone about them so they may have wanted to keep things private until they've had time to tell everyone else about what happened between the two of them, especially considering they were with Kie's ex the whole time (they were a lot more flirty/coupley when they were on their own in the first part of the episode). Do I wish they gave us less of Big John and more of Jiara? Fuck yes, the Big John plot dragged for so long and he was even more annoying than Ward, they could've easily given him half the screentime and still had the same effect (and don't get me started on the caves we did not need to see JB and Sarah on every single part of that trek is was so bad) but I'm not as pressed about it as I was 2 weeks ago. They've seen the popularity of Jiara, they know the number they're pulling for them (pretty sure the jiara twitter post from 2 days ago has more likes than the trailer twitter post now) so I know they're gonna put even more focus on them in s4.

I guess you're right I want wishing that to happen while waiting I guess that's more likely in a book instead since they have more time and you reads their thoughts. I hope we did get multiple kisses and now they're official together but that does make me worry since this show at least one certain couple always breaks up and gets together again but not before flirting and or kissing someone else hope Jiara is the one to say together no matter been waiting for this for 3 years.
i'm not sure if you are okay with spoilers, so i am not going to say if we got a kiss or kisses, but i want to add that you are going to love their journey. it's amazing this season! as for cheating trope for jiara, i don't think that it could be an option in their case. it's bold for me to say, but they don't feel like a couple who would have this storyline. i think, that their angst mainly is based on them being from different worlds and this is a big issue for them. so i hope that the writers continue this narration instead of adding third-party in the mix also, jj finally got (or is about to get) his girl! he would never cheat. and kie always determind to protect her choices, so i don't think that there could be a problem from her side as well.

Hi, so I am absolutely losing my mind thinking all about season 3 and all about Jiara. Will they be releasing videos of jiara coming this week? What are you most excited for, for jiara? What are you most excited for?
Welcome to the club (I am feral and foaming at the mouth about them)
In a few days, if they stick with the traditional schedule, we should start getting clips, which is going to be incredible. If I had to place bets, I’d say we’ll get some hinted jiara in the clips but no actual jiara (for example, they’re not gonna release a kiss or a love confession. Even though I wish they would. Probably for the best, though, I’d go a little TOO feral if that happened.) I’m thinking we’ll get a few lines exchanged between the two and that’s about it until the 23rd.
I’m excited for just about everything jiara. Obviously the jiara kiss will be life-changing and I might actually start screaming (I apologize in advance to my roommates.) I think a jiara love confession will be even better, in my opinion - just hearing them openly confess their love for one another?!?! JJ getting to learn she likes him back, and he’s worthy of love, is going to melt me. And then I’m just excited for those little touches they’re gonna exchange throughout the season, even before we get much romance - that’s just who they are, and we see that all the way back in season one and I love it.
Outside of jiara I’m just so excited for JJ being JJ. Another season of him doing dumb stuff and being funny. He reminds me a lot of myself in some ways (and my sister is a lot like Pope, which means practically every interaction they have could be lifted verbatim from our conversations. We joke about that a lot.) I also love JJ and John B’s friendship, and their protectiveness of one another, so more of that please Netflix
And then finally - just the OBX vibes. Being home. I’ve missed this show so much and it’ll be incredible to feel back there again.

Theories about the Jiara pic? I’ll give you my dream scenario: JJ does something reckless and dangerous to protect Kie, one of the pogues, and Kie goes I wish you didn’t do shit like this or something like that, and he says it doesn’t matter, I’m gonna end up in jail anyway in that self deprecating way he does, and then she grabs his face and makes him meet her eyes and says it matters to me, and cue the heart eyes. Bonus points if she’s cleaning up his wounds and standing between his legs as this goes down, she puts her hands on his face, he puts his on her hips, please pates, give it to us!! I think I’m getting ahead of myself but I’m so pumped for this it’s unbelievable! Ok your turn now!
There are so many scenarios this could go down in but damn the wounds on his face makes it so much better because you know we are gonna he that good whump!
But like I’m picturing Kie grabbing his face and worried about him or telling him something like that. And instinctively his hands just find her waist. Did you see how he’s looking at her. Tears in his eyes just so… soft and loving. I cannot.
This scene is going to be so good no matter if it’s just a moment (oof it get interrupted by one of the pogues 👀), if it a first kiss moment which I can see happening because the way he is looking at her damn, or what Kate suggested and they’ve finally worked shit out and are now being separated 🥺
Rudy and Maddie are gonna bring it and I cannot wait!

OBX Season 3: Jiara
Okay, let’s do it. Let’s talk Jiara. This one might get long.
Jiara fascinates me on a fundamental fandom level and always has. As a long-time Bellarke, one of the things that roped me into the show was ship gifsets (mainly JJPope and Jiara). So, when I first watched Season 1 to see both of those relationships be comparably so small in screentime, I was surprised. I’ve been neutrally positive on Jiara over the seasons (definitely with a boost after S2), but have watched this ship have such a huge fanbase after S1 alone, so much so that writers rerouted their own course to respond to fans. It’s fanservice, but that doesn’t make it bad. In fact, it makes it fascinating to me because I’m just so unused to that concept. (Legitimately, this is something I’ve discussed with my IRL friend because I’m just so intrigued by it.)
So, I’ve paid attention to Jiara, knowing that the writers were pivoting and being extremely interested to see how they’d pull it off.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I think I’d give it like... an 8.5? It was a really good pivot in my opinion (not the concept of Kie/JJ together generally, but how well executed they were in changing their flight path).
Starting with my gripes, Season 2 was used to put closure on Pope & Kie and to slightly build up JJ & Kie, especially in the late season. Retrospectively, I could’ve used something a bit more explicit in late Season 2 about Kiara’s feelings because we jump into Season 3 with the longing glances and heavy focus shots on Kie and JJ’s reactions to each other, which I think could be jarring to people who haven’t really been paying attention to this relationship. (Another mini gripe is that I wish we’d stayed a little longer on the “We never should have left Poguelandia” thing with JJ & Kie. I feel like it gets one mention and then let go even though it felt significant for both of them. Like I thought maybe JJ would get mad/be disappointed in Kie for helping flag down the plane, something like that.)
Additionally, OBX... well, they pulled an OBX. The main ship of the show fell in love in an episode. So was I surprised to JJ/Kie almost kiss by episode 2? No. And I don’t think it’s great writing, we skip the “figuring out their feelings” part and go straight into acceptance/denial. HOWEVER, I think they accidentally made something really unique out of OBX’s tendency to fast track their romantic subplots. A full season surrounding a romantic storyline fully about the aftermath of realizing that you have feelings for someone. It’s less of a “Will they/won’t they” and more of a “They almost did. Now what?” And to have that for a full season feels very unique, which I loved.
I adored the scenes they had. Starting with the JJ going into full panic when Kiara gets kidnapped (the first time) and then progressing from there. I really don’t know that they had a scene that missed? JJ’s freakout once they’re back in Kildare is one of my favorite scenes of the season because of how telling it is of JJ’s character. A great choice, in my opinion, to use the relationship with Kiara as an exploration of JJ’s low self-worth. He trashes her, calls her the worst thing imaginable (*shudders* Kook), and even though she’s mad, she still sees through it. Because she knows he’s just scared and vulnerable about fucking up AND has the added insecurity that he’ll be stepping on Pope’s toes. I think the one falter is maybe the money clip storyline, which I think was actually quite smart in JJ’s intentions (intentional self-sabotage), but was better in theory than execution.
I think the relationship was definitely a better exploration of JJ’s character than it was of Kie’s, but it did display Kiara’s deep levels of compassion, empathy, and understanding.
Overall, I’ve been fascinated to see if the writers could pull something that fans made out of one-off lines and actor chemistry and make it work and I think the answer is very much yes. As for the Bellarke to Jiara pipeline, after three seasons, I am finally jumping on (maybe not as rabid as the rest of you but yes I am finally here).

The current trailer they have for obx rn is so misleading….like I get it John b and Sarah are meant to be but like tbh their romance was the least interesting part of the first season to me, like this show is about soooo much more than just that, do you know what I mean? And then they don’t even show any diversity in characters…
I just went and watched it! So fun - it had been a long time!
I totally get you! I think they were trying to reel people in with the whole treasure hunt and mystery of it, as well as the class divide. They meant to show us the explosive, high stakes, but we all fell in love with the pogue dynamic and the characters! And I couldn’t agree more - it’s what we want to see more of now, right?!!! You’re exactly right - it is about SO much more! I wish we got more character analysis on all of them. 
As for JB and Sarah - they gave their first kiss away already in the trailer! C’mon, we all know the slow burn is more compelling. And I think we all know who that is 🤡 I really think if they do jiara justice this season it will do WONDERS for the show and could cement them as an iconic couple in TV. 
As for what I saw in the trailer, I saw the hot tub scene and then there was everything else 🤡

Y’all ever love an OBX scene but wish it was filmed differently? Like so you could see a diff angle or something? Sometimes the way it’s filmed bothers me, but overall I’m not complaining lol. Jiara Examples: the bracelet touch, the kiss, the dock reunion hug
Absolutely. Sometimes the filming style gets a little crazy and things I want to see happen off screen. I know it’s old news now but I’m still so bitter I can’t see the first Jiara boost at all. And in S1 when johnkie are arguing and JB smacks Kie in the face and JJ goes “hey, alright, no” I WANT TO SEE HIS EXPRESSION.
I’ve already bitched about these but 2x08 and 3x04 both have some angles I’d like to change. 2x08 when JJ helps Kie up into the tree and then also the immediate jump to the far shot of them on the dock. I LOVE that shot, but I wanted to see the moment he put his arm around her too. And I wish there was better lighting in the kiss so we could see more of their hands. And back to 3x04; I’m really sad we didn’t get to see the bracelet touch so of course that’s on the list. But we also got this shot which is phenomenal so I can’t be TOO mad.
Tumblr media
I actually really love the dock reunion hug in 3x02 though!! I think it’s so cinematic and just all around awesome (Assuming you meant that one and not 2x08).
Also really minor complaint…
Tumblr media
IM SAD WE CAN’T SEE KIE HERE

Episode nine
LOVE the jj Cleo moment on the airstrip hahaha
Yes please Sofia, stroke rafe’s ego, that’s all he needs
I aspire to be as talented as JJ at bullshitting my way out of things
How do we feel about the little redemption moment when ward said goodbye to rafe
Was the long awaited jiara kiss what I’d been picturing or what I wanted? No. Did it still make me grin goofily and laugh and tear up a little? Yes it did 😭 have never seen jj as happy as he was on the plane 😭
FINALE TIMEEE
JJ spitballing 😂
Just a little quality bonding time between in-laws ahaha
“The Cameron’s aren’t really a hiking family” sent me
Interesting throwaway piece of John b dialogue “just like you did with mom”
All these South American scenes def feel like a totally different show. It’s more like Indiana Jones vibes and tbh I’m not into it lol
The way Cleo got everything she didn’t even know she craved with the pogues and pope 😭
For some reason I cried more than I have all season so far at jombie’s speech to Sarah in the cave
I have goosebumps omg three seasons leading up to this moment and they actually found it. To going full kook!! I do wish it had been all of the pogues in that moment there, like the original core group of the three boys and kie. I feel like they/we deserved that and I’m mad at big John for taking that away from us (I guess none of them would have been there without him but, yanno)
Oh good everyone’s dad is dying (for the second time) at the same time
I sobbed through the last ten minutes (just bc that heartbreaking feeling of knowing a fandom will never be like it was in the good old original days,,, like the characters’ lives will never be like they used to be when we first fell in love with them and their world). Time jump def made it feel like they weren’t thinking they’d get renewed and were kind of putting a bow on it
So… rafe?? Is where? Doing what? Also barracuda Mike?
That look jj and John b gave each other at the end was perfect. I’m a mess.
MANNNNN OKAY!
Overall, were there issues with this season? Yes. I wanted more group pogue scenes, less big John, less topper (whyyy do we always have Sarah going back to him), more Luke/exploration of JJ’s trauma/drinking/etc, more conversations about jiara.
But am I really happy with what we got? I sure am!! I think the culmination of the jiara slow burn was done so, so well — major props to Rudy and Bailey (gah this is one of my favorite ships of all time). So was the transition from poguelandia back to obx (with all of them, but especially Sarah). And there were still some golden moments of hilarious banter or the pogues just being dumbasses (aka my fave). There were so many little things I loved this season.
Predictions for season 4 (or at least, what I WANT lol). Could def see Luke coming back to get a piece of the gold (and would love to explore more of JJ’s feelings/anxieties/trauma around now being in a relationship and how that works). Time jump — i’d like to think they’re going to give us a bunch of throwback scenes set during those 18 months (because there is SO MUCH to explore in there — relationally, logistically, all the things) but honestly I don’t know. Seems like they might just pick up from where the Blackbeard action is apparently starting.

Friends to Lovers in Canon Universe
I'll be the light and lead you home (when there's nowhere left to go) by @homebody-nobody and @hmspogue
“Hi, Dad,” he says, his heart pounding, his veins already humming with fight-or-flight adrenaline. He can feel his brain kicking into overdrive as his body is tensing to prepare for whatever comes next. Keep your voice down, his mind reiterates, reciting rules that governed years of his childhood, learned the hard way and necessary for his safety -- for survival. Stay an arms length away, nod and agree, don’t tell him no, respond with “yes sir”, keep your voice down for as long as possible, and get out before the yelling starts at all costs… But, now, in the midst of this frantic inventory, a new rule makes its way into his consciousness. Stay between him and Kiara.
baby, it’s halloween (we can be anything)
JJ tags along with Kie as she goes costume shopping but she leaves the store with much more than she bargained for.
The Haunting of Crowley Manor
After spending the night with JJ, going to Sarah's Halloween party at an abandoned, and allegedly haunted, Kook mansion is not high on Kiara's list of things she wants to be doing. When the Pogues do some exploring, what they find is unsettling at best. Even amidst all the pandemonium, Kiara would really just like to clear the air.
you wanna play with fire (stick and poke tattoo) by @homebody-nobody
'JJ chews on the information she’s given him, tracing his fingers down her arm, over the curve of her elbow and back up to her shoulder. “You’re still gonna go home, right?” He asks, uncertainty and maybe longing in his voice. She realizes, then, that of course she is. Her parents love her, even if they don’t know how to show it, don't understand what the Cut and its inhabitants (and one in particular) mean to her. Of course, she’s going to go home. Because JJ doesn’t get to. Because she still can.
touch me someone by @homebody-nobody
He pulls away from her, and his eyes are wide but dry as his chest heaves. He looks wild, uncaged and raw, the moonlight turning his blond hair white and his blue eyes into pools of silver. Tragedy and shock have destroyed him, the chains he’d wrapped around his brash, heedless, unending want twisted into shards by an explosion of hurt and grief. He has always been the victim, the boy left behind in empty rooms with nothing but loss and bloody fragments, told to piece himself back together. Finally, they’ve taken the last thing. When he told John B they had nothing to lose, they still had each other. And now, he doesn’t even have that. But she’s still here.
A Midsummers Night's Scheme
Kiara really doesn't want to go to Midsummers, and this time it isn't just about the socioeconomics of it all. When she runs into someone she was hoping never to see again, she enlists the help of JJ, who might already be more involved than she would've ever thought.
georgia (georgia, i love your son) by @jiaaras
Two years after Sarah and John B died (or disappeared, if you asked JJ), Kiara and JJ must deal with the return of a familiar face to the Outer Banks.
it was there the whole time
The rest of the pogues notice that JJ and Kiara are hopelessly in love with each other long before they do themselves.
because i'm still in love with you (i wanna see you dance again.)
post season one; John B and Sarah are gone, Pope is M.I.A and Kiara just wants to help JJ stop drinking so much.
lets go surfing by @simpforjiara
everything good happens in the surf
and even when you look away i know you think of me by @hvitstark
The night of graduation Kie worries about the future.
Her Boys *trigger warning character drugged against their will*
Some guy tries to drug Kiara during a kegger at the Boneyard, and her boys ride to the rescue, and then take her home and take beautiful care of her…which leads to a very unique first Jiara kiss.
five times JJ or Kie kissed the other as friends + 1 time they were definitely not friends by @simpforjiara
don't blame me for fallin' (i was just a little boy) by @simpforjiara
JJ Maybank could never just simply care about something, when it came to Kiara it was always too much
Home is Where the Puppy Lives by @tiggerusername
Four months after John B and Sarah disappear, everything in Outer Banks is strange. JJ and Kiara are hardly talking. Pope is hardly around. And storms keep coming. That is until Kiara decides to visit the chateau after work one day and finds a puppy stuck in the destruction of the night outside.
Snapshots Through Time
Just as the title implies, jumps in time depicting moments in JJ and Kiara’s lives. First as friends, then as a couple, and eventually as a family.
Don't overthink it
For the majority of the time she was not even sure she liked JJ as a person.
i don’t wanna be your friend (i wanna kiss your lips)
If she’s being honest, Kiara used to think about kissing JJ all the time. aka the five times kiara thinks about kissing jj, and the one time she finally does it.
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
JJ and Kiara grow closer in the aftermath of what should have been the best summer of their lives.
One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)
After spending a night with Pope, Kie runs to the person she was meant to be with in the first place.
it wasn’t special til i met you by @dayas
kiara never expects teaching jj to braid to matter so much. it does. or, alternatively, the four times kiara lets jj braid her hair and the one time she doesn’t.
every piece of you
Five places that Kie hadn’t expected to be intimate when kissed and one place she does.
if we were meant to be, we would've been by now by @alphinias
five times JJ was jealous, and one time he didn't have to be
and if my wishes came true (it would’ve been you)
the one where jj and kiara go on a road trip together and do a miserable job of pretending they’re not two idiots in love
tell me when you’re falling (can you hear me calling?)
being in love with your best friend makes vacationing pretty inconvenient. luckily for kiara, said best friend will never suspect a thing.
bare necessities by @rae-of-fricking-sunshine
the five times they were unintentionally undressed, and the one time they weren't
better date than never by @alphinias
Kiara is sick of her mom badgering her about the single groomsmen at her cousin's wedding, so obviously, taking JJ as her date is the perfect solution. It won't be complicated. Not at all.
i had a few (got drunk on you)
Kiara is a student at bartender school and JJ is helping her practice (when he isn’t hindering her by drinking all the liquor).
i'll be there 'til the stars don't shine by @maybankiara
in which the pogues throw a kegger, and jj keeps getting distracted by the feelings he might have for one of his closest friends.
What if... (Secrets are dug in the best friends' back yard?) by @tiggerusername
What if JJ and Kiara have been keeping a massive secret from the Pogues? What if JJ and Kiara were a lot closer than anyone had expected during Kiara's Kook year?
Standing On Younger Ground by @usnavisbubbly
If he really thinks about it, he knows it probably just took missing her for an entire year for him to realize that he never wanted to again. Miss her, that is. That shit was brutal. She’s his best friend and he wants her around all the time. It’s just that now, he sometimes wishes it was just them. Like, he’d never want John B and Pope to go away, per se, he just also wants Kie to himself? Or something? It’s confusing.
Bad Timing
the one where the Pogues all had a thing for Kie, all get rejected and JJ eventually finds the right time.
wish you were sober
The Pogues are growing up and following their dreams, which means it's time for JJ and Kiara to sort through some feelings.
around the world
You can take the boy out of the Outer Banks, but you can't take the Outer Banks out of the boy. when it's all calmed down, kiara travels the world. jj's not precisely an unwelcome addition.
drunk off of nothing but of each other until the sunrise (i swear to god it was the best night of my life)
The night before Kie leaves for collage JJ finally makes a move. It's the start and end of something all at once.
friends don’t look at friends that way
anyone observant can see that JJ and Kiara are clearly more than friends.
You Can Get Lost in the Music For Hours, Honey by @anniebibananie
A love story told (predominately) through text messages and a collaborative spotify playlist.
Come Down to the Black Sea Swimming with Me
JJ and Kiara try to deal with the aftermath of John B and Sarah's deaths, and find it easier together.
if this is love, i know it’s true (i won’t forget you)
kiara carrera doesn’t know when she falls in love with jj maybank. she just knows that she does, and there’s nothing she can do about it.
i want to see you stare at ceilings until you fall back asleep
jj and kie have a moment.
(au mid-season before any of that insane police chase stuff went down)

I bet Jiara had so many “moments” on the island…. Ugh I really wish we could of seen more of everyone on the island. Honestly, we didn’t get much of it.
Oh big time. The almost kiss on the boat gives me the vibe that there have been a couple of moments or almosts before that. Maybe nothing as close as that particular moment but significant enough where they couldn't ignore it. When JJ has his conversation with Pope and doesn't deny what happened it reads like he's had time to come to terms with the fact that there are mutual feelings there.
I love that moment when they are fishing and she's checking him out and he clocks it and get's a little flustered. What I wouldn't give for some more scenes like that.

PLEASE DO 96/33/138 I NEED SOME JIARA SPICE RIGHT NOW!
Alright ngl this was out of my comfort zone and idk how I feel about it and it’s probably not that good😂BUT if you want some real Jiara spice, I suggest you check out @hvitstark! But yeah, I guess enjoy😅
Word Count: 2.5K
Prompts: “The door’s locked.” // “Remember, we have to get up early tomorrow.” // “Stop making your own rules.”
“Pope is the worst driver, hands down.”
“No, JJ, he’s the safest driver and you just find that boring.”
“My point still stands.”
Sarah rolled her eyes but laughed along with the rest of the pogues. They had really grown since that summer, in both good ways and bad. There would be things from that summer that would haunt them, memories they would never truly be able to forget. But that bond, that knowledge that they all went through it and made it to the other side, it made them much stronger than they had ever been. And now look at them, a bunch of nineteen year olds who may have been through a lot, but they were happy now and that is what mattered.
“Right, we should probably head to bed soon.” Theo muttered as he glanced down at his watch, finally noticing the time. “Remember, we have to get up early tomorrow.”
“Especially if we want to miss the Spring-breakers traffic.” Pope piped up from where he had been tucked happily underneath his boyfriend’s arm. And with the addition with Theo into their group, I guess you could say their group had also grown physically.
“Yeah, you’re probably right.” Sarah sighed, turning to look at John B with a small smile. “Shall we?”
“Why yes we shall, my fair lady.” John B spoke up in a horrible accent that had the rest of the group snickering but he paid them no attention. Instead, he simply pulled Sarah up from her spot before quickly wrapping his arm under her knees and lifting her up. She let out a small shriek but didn’t fight against it.
“I swear to god, JB, if I hear you guys—” Pope started but he was cut off.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be on good behaviour.” He turned so he was facing the pogues, bit continued to walk backwards to his room at the back of the Chateau. “But can’t make any promises this one can keep her hands to herse—OW!”
Sarah only smiled innocently. “You were saying?”
“I’ll be good.” He murmured with a small smile, one that grew when Sarah placed a small kiss on his cheek and eventually the couple disappeared down the hallway.
“I love you guys and all but like,” Theo spoke up, giving JJ and Kiara sheepish smiles. “You are kinda in our bed. Unless you guys wanna take the pullout then be my guest!”
“Nice try,” JJ scoffed as he stood up, Kie following suit. “But you lost the bet fair and square, man. Deals are deals.”
“It was Mario Kart.”
“And you lost.”
“You cheated.”
“How could I have cheated?” JJ argued, although there was a small smirk on his face. Hey, it doesn’t count as cheating if he just so happened to pull up shirtless pictures of Henry Cavill on his phone while Theo was playing Kie.
“You know what you did.” He muttered with a small pout.
“The things I’d let that man do to me.” Kie sighed, causing JJ’s head to snap over at her, a look of betrayal on his face.
“Kie, what the fuck?!”
“Hey,” Kiara raised her hands in mock surrender. “It’s Henry Cavill, dude, you can’t blame me.”
“Yeah but,” JJ whined lightly. “How the fuck am I meant to compete with Superman?”
“You can’t.” Pope spoke up, a sympathetic shrug sent in the blond’s direction.
“Geez, thanks, Pope.” JJ deadpanned.
“Aw, don’t worry, I’d choose you over Henry Cavill any day.” Kie said as she stood up (she was a little peeved since her spot was pretty comfortable). “Well, most days.”
“Oh wow, thank you, that’s really convincing, I love that, Kie.” He muttered with a pointed look but she only smiled in response.
“We’ll see you guys in the morning.” And with that, they wished Pope and Theo a goodnight before they headed towards JJ’s room. They worked silently with each other through their night routines, having gotten into a comfortable habit over the years they spent together and the amount of times they had slept over, both in their friendship and relationship. Eventually, they both found themselves lying in bed, neither one really ready to fall asleep just yet.
“I’m excited,” Kie whispered to him, a soft smile on her lips. “Pogues road trip around the states, what could go wrong?” She added with a small snort.
“Think Twinkie will make it?” He murmured with an amused voice.
“Doubt she will make it past the border.” Kie replied, both chuckling in response. Kie rolled over, picking up her phone from the nightstand to look at the time. They were meant to wake up in a few hours.
“What’s wrong?” JJ murmured as he cuddled up behind her, his face nuzzled against her neck as he pressed a few light kisses against her skin.
“Nothing,” She hummed lightly, placing her phone back down. “Just don’t think I’ll be able to sleep just yet.”
“Oh really?” His breath was tickling her neck in between the kisses he trailed down her neck. “I can think of a way to tire you out.”
“Jay,” She warned lightly, although her eyes fluttered shut as he lightly bit down on the small spot between her neck and collarbone. “W-We can’t.”
“Why not?” He mumbled against her skin, his hand sliding up her thigh as it began to toy with the hem of her shirt. Kiara couldn’t help the small, almost inaudible gasp that passed her lips when she felt his cold fingers brush against her skin.
“Our friends.” She sighed out, although her brain was beginning to feel a little to fuzzy to get more than a couple of words out. JJ, knowing the effect he was having on her, couldn’t help but smirk a little.
“The door’s locked. We’ll be fine.” With that, his fingers trailed further up her shirt—or should he say his shirt—tracing lightly along her skin, enjoying the way her breath hitched. He pushed himself up on his other arm, pulling away to see her face. Her eyes shut, lips slightly parted and if he squinted he could’ve sworn he could see her flushed cheeks.
“They’ll hear us.” Her words coming out as a small whine as his fingers brushed small, slow circles around her nipple. She hated how easily he could break down her walls.
“That’s never stopped us before.” His breath was tickling her ear, the contrast between his warm breath and cold fingers was really wearing down the small amount of self-control convinced herself she had. “Then again, you’ve never been the quiet type, have you, Kie?”
“You’re insatiable.” She murmured, turning her head slightly so she could try and find his lips, but he moved his head back a little so their lips were left brushing against each other. Her small whines as he moved his hands back down her stomach hummed against his lips, it was almost impossible not to smirk.
“We won Mario Kart, rules say we can celebrate however we like.” His eyes watched her expression closely as his finger ventured lower, teasing the hem of her panties, dancing along the material, keeping her on edge on his next move.
“Stop making your own rules.” She muttered, lips pressing together as he traced lightly over the cotton material, her hand snapping down to grip his wrist. “Fuck, Jay.”
“Tell me to stop and I will.” His breath ghosting against her skin as she tilted her head up to him, opening her mouth as if to say something but the gentle touches against her were a little too distracting. “Use your words, Kiara.”
Her eyes fluttered shut as her full name rolled off his tongue, a desperate whine sounded from the back of her throat. In that moment, she didn’t even care about the small ‘shh’ JJ whispered to her or the fact four of her best friends were beyond the thin walls of the bedroom. All she could think about was how badly she wanted—no, needed his fingers. She just needed him to do something.
“Please.” The hand that wasn’t gripping was clenched around the sheets, held in a tight fist as if it could relieve some of her frustration.
“What do you want me to do, Kiara?” His voice was teasing, maybe even a little mocking. Maybe this was payback for the time she left him high and dry during a beach trip last week. Or maybe there was a small sadistic part of JJ that liked seeing her beg.
“Touch me.”
“I am touching you, Kiara.” His head lowered slightly so he could place gentle kisses along her jaw, leading to the edge of her lips where she desperately tried to catch his, but he quickly moved to the other side. A small smirk tugged on his lips when he heard her whimper a little.
“Jay, please, just…do something.” Her breath got caught in her throat when she finally felt his fingers dip beneath the material, a sigh of both pleasure and relief escaping her lips. His fingers skimmed along her, feeling how wet she was and JJ had to suppress his own groans when he did. His fingers trailed back up, lazy circles pressed against her clit. She found her hips lifting slightly—she wanted more, she needed more.
The teasing words were on his lips, ready to mess with. Words on how their friends were still in the rooms next to them, how she was no longer bothering to hide her desperate whines and moans. But he couldn’t bring himself to speak these words, not when he was so entranced by the sight in front of him.
JJ quietly muttered her name before he pressed her lips against his, the noises she was making now muffled and humming against his mouth. The kiss wasn’t slow or romantic or sweet. It was fast and messy and passionate. Both just as lost in each other, Kiara’s nails slightly digging into his wrist as she tried to move his hand down further and he quickly caught on to what she wanted.
“F-Fuck.” Her voice was breathless and sparse, her chest heaving up and down as she looked up at him with wide eyes, the glint of desire and need articulating everything she wanted to say in that moment but just couldn’t bring herself to say.
His fingers travelled lower, focus drawn as his finger slowly pushed into her. He felt the muscles in her legs tensing slightly, and he waited. Starting with slow movements, easing her into it as his finger gently curled inside her. Her lips were pressed together, watching him beneath hooded lids as he slipped in another finger.
There was a primal part within him that desired to make her scream and chant his name, something he knew he couldn’t exactly have in that moment. Or he shouldn’t have. But as his fingers moved in and out of her, fingers curling to hit that exact spot that made her want to clench her legs together, except the calf he had trapped between his own prevented her from doing so. There was a bitter part of Kiara that envied JJ, that he could be kissing her one second and watching his fingers disappear inside her the next. There was a part of her that desired to watch him as he slowly wrecked her.
His lips moved along her skin, small muttered praises against her skin as he listened to her moan his name in encouragement. And god, just the sound of it made him want to drop to his knees and not wanting to stop until his name was the only one she remembered. The noises she made were absolutely addictive, and JJ loved every single part of it. The concerns of waking up early tomorrow or the thin walls were long gone from his mind. The only thing he could think of was Kiara.
Kiara. Kiara. Kiara. Kiara.
“Fuck, it feels so good.” She moaned out shamelessly, both hands now clenching the thin sheet. She wanted to feel him on her, wanted to feel his skin against hers, feel his moans against her skin and feel him inside her. She wanted him to be closer, impossibly closer.
“Yeah?” He murmured, his fingers slowing down slightly. She let out a needy whine, looking at him with glassy eyes and her lips slightly jutted out in a pout.
“D-Don’t stop!” Her words not far from a beg but she didn’t even care in that moment, and who was JJ to deny her of what she so desperately desired? His fingers began to pick up their pace, JJ leaning down to nuzzle his head against her neck once again as he nipped and sucked along any bit of exposed skin he could. He was undeniably hard, his hips grinding slightly against the mattress but it didn’t provide much relief from the angle he was in. And by the sounds of the moans leaving Kie’s mouth, he didn’t fancy stopping to reposition himself. He could deal with himself later, but right now was all about her.
“Fuck, don’t stop,” She whined, head thrown back on the pillow as small muttered curses escaped her lips. JJ could barely take his eyes off her, his fingers pumping in and out of her as he watched her slowly come undone. It was a breath-taking sight, one he could never get sick off. Cheeks flushed, hair sprawled on the pillow, lips parted as she let out the most divine sounds that had his cock twitching in the confinement of his boxers.
His fingers continued to pump in and out of her as she eventually reached her climax, slowing to an eventual stop once she had come down from her high. JJ stared down at her with a slightly arrogant smirk on his lips, looking at how flustered and wrecked she looked. And upon noticing the look on his face, she opened her mouth as if to counter back with some snarky comment that would knock his ego down a few notches but banging on their door interrupted them.
“Alright, we get it, Henry Cavill is clearly an aphrodisiac for you two but can you please, for the love of everything that is gay and holy, shut the fuck up? Some of us are trying to actually sleep here!” Pope snapped from the other side of the door, and when he received no reply, he took that as a sign that they caught the hint and headed back to the pull-out.
“God, I fucking told you.” Kie muttered, running her hands over her faces, cheeks now burning in embarrassment. But JJ only let out a small chuckle, grinning down at her as he slipped his fingers into his mouth, eyes never leaving hers as he moaned at the taste of her.
“I have no regrets,” He replied with a small shrug before he leaned down to kiss her, to her taste herself on his tongue. “Just enjoying a midnight snack.”
“Shut up.” She huffed against his lips, but there was a smile there. He smirked down at her, his words making her mirror the look.
“Make me.”
