Dude, the fact that you can see Strazza putting KJ through all five stages of grief in that bathroom, landing on an expression that perfectly sums up the feeling of: THAT. That’s it. That’s the thing I’ve had at the back of my head all my life. You watch it click home behind her eyes. It’s in the leveling out of breath. The slight pull-back of her shoulders. The blink. The full range of human emotion spills out in the span of forty seconds, it is insane. This kid is an excellent performer.
#paper girls#paper girls spoilers#kj brandman#fina strazza#as usual the wlw coming to a huge epiphany in a bathroom#but for real even though the story is wildly different from the comics#it really does land the acceptance in comic!KJ just simply saying ‘I think I grow up to be a lesbian’#this kid is like sixteen and she already knows how to get that much across in silence? keep her in paychecks man#her and Riley as Erin are especially good at drafting nuance without a word#which is critical for more introspective characters

Saw someone saying that the new series Paper Girls on Amazon Prime is trying to do what Stranger Things did but failed and I’m like… good?? The writing is much better and frankly so is the acting (maybe that’s just cuz the girls have better direction and actual human motivations but 🤷🏻♀️). Anyway if you want to see a relationship between an older brother and younger sister which is fraught and kind of toxic bc they grew up in an unsafe environment, but are actually given the space to become better people with time, Papers Girls actually uh does that…

Paper Girls
Mac and Dylan's relationship was one of the highlights of the entire season. It's amazing to see him re-energized by his sister, and to treat her like an actual adult. I also like that she's genuinely proud of her brother, and loves who he became.
It's beautiful how despite the fact that KJ can neither physically nor emotionally admit that she's gay, she still slowly pulls Mac into her orbit. They're in love with each other, without even realizing it.

There is so much nuance to the ep 6 scene between KJ and Lauren, I can’t get over it.
the motion older!KJ makes as they walk out, reaching for Lauren, realizing just in time that they are, in fact, in her hometown in Ohio and cutting short before she can land what was probably going to be an instinctive kiss
KJ coming in hot with the world’s most polite “hello!” and managing to make what must feel lightly like small talk for thirty seconds before dropping her voice to this shy, slightly-terrified question
the inability to hold eye contact. the faltering, wordless noises. the way she blinks like she’s seconds from just passing out in the middle of this theater--that is exactly how it feels to come out to someone for the first time. the edges of your vision go a little fuzzy, your heart is in your throat, you genuinely feel shaky, and all of that is so present in this performance
the sense of mild defeat in how she just lands on “movies” instead of “girls”, like she’s embarrassed she can’t just say it
the gentle ah hah expression on Lauren’s face as she realizes what this petrified kid is trying to ask her, and how smoothly she doesn’t correct her--just rolls with this safe code word
KJ’s nod and very tiny “uh-huh” without moving like any part of her face. like she’s reverting to standing as still as possible, protective coloring coming up in every inch of her frame
Lauren actually taking a minute to think about it before answering. and and then not giving the answer KJ asked for--”how did YOU know”--but what KJ actually needs to hear. what any kid in her position would: not everyone will get it, but everyone’s journey is their own, and there is no rush
(again, this is why I’m so delighted they wrote it the way they did--KJ and Lauren, not KJ and older!KJ, because older!KJ would have a definitive answer to give. it might be “I always knew, in the back of my mind” or it might be “when I was eighteen and kissed a girl for the first time”, but whatever the answer, it would cement KJ back into a box. this is your future, immutable, and there is no journey you could take that I haven’t already gone on. I’m so fucking glad they didn’t do this, that they let her have the reassurance that any timeline is the right one if it’s hers.)
again, that flutter-blink/quick breath combo that looks like she’s gonna pass out--but this time, there’s relief in it. it’s less “how do I say this Huge Thing” and more “oh thank god, she knows what I’m asking, she knows without me saying, and she’s being kind”
It is beautifully put together, such a gentle way of saying to this baby gay, “Nobody can tell you who you are except you, but whoever that winds up being is so okay. Listen to yourself. Trust yourself. You will be happy, I promise you.” It is a critical bit of advice so many queer people just don’t get, and to write it into KJ’s story is one of the show’s biggest kindnesses.
#paper girls#paper girls spoilers#kj brandman#i love this scene so much. i love that lauren doesn't try to make it about herself in the least#she could tell her story here--but that isn't what KJ actually needs#so instead she gives her reassurance that there's nothing wrong with what she's feeling and that it really does feel amazing to be in love#even if that love isn't what she might have expected for herself#i also just love that lauren is in her early 20s and maybe has never HAD a young kid ask this before--and you can kind of feel it#in the hesitation and the slight fumble before she lands on what is most likely what she would have needed to hear at that age#admittedly--god love her--she clearly lacks a few passive perception points#because there are so many pictures of young KJ in her girlfriend's house that she HAS to have seen them#but we forgive her this observational oversight because she's so lovely in these scenes#and it really does a great job of painting the feeling that she's drawn to this kid--who is the child version of her girlfriend--#without EVER once being creepy about it. it's just 'oh this sweet kid i want to protect her'. a lesser show would have fucked that up#'ah she says she's KJ's cousin. they have exactly the same face at different stages of pokemon evolution but sure yeah that tracks'#'how can i help?'#again i LOVE the comics. i love them so much. but this is the same kind of gentle change as giving mac her brother for a while#it's screaming from the rooftops that these kids are not as alone as they feel#and i'm so soft about it

ok although im always sad that mac eventually dies in the comics, i do appreciate that narrative choice for her character. this is a bullied, lonely girl that probably didn't have a lot of hope for her future in the first place. and when she learns her fate, she accepts it because 'why do I matter anyway? who even cares?' and the friends she has made through this journey, girls just like her say 'you do matter. because we care. and we're going to do everything in our power to save you, because we all deserve a future together.' and that message always moves me greatly.

you know why i just fucking love paper girls so much? it’s because you spend your entire time reading this comic and you’re constantly reminded that there’s no way to change their ending. the girls will eventually go their separate ways and never be anything more than that weird little group they formed during hell day just to ward off the creeps. “your end is your end” and all that shit
yet still, at the very end, when you know that the story is over and that they’re about to all go on with their lives without each other, you’re still hoping that maybe, just maybe, things will turn differently after all. fuck all of those times we were told otherwise, these girls have gone through hell and back together, why wouldn’t they be able to defy destiny?
and you know what? they fucking do
the whole universe be damned, those girls will be friends and they will be important to each other because they’re not just girls they’re paper fucking girls and maybe it doesn’t make sense at all but maybe that doesn’t even matter and that’s fucking beautiful
#>#paper girls#i woke up with a searing hot pain in my chest because i was reminded of how much i love this comic#please i need everyone to read it#i recognise that i mightve gotten off the rails towards the end of the this text post but it is nearing 1AM where i am#im also aware that the ending doesnt necessarily have to be interpreted this way#but they were able to make different choices so to me that at the very least means theres a possibility that they're all still friends#paper girls is about friendship and love triumphing over destiny and you WILL hear about it from me#oh and also#paper girls spoilers
