javainkStone Ocean's next part is premiering tomorrow, and I have no expectations, only that it'll be a good time. In the afternoon, my friend M and I will start a watch party of two and make a headway through what's available.
Unfortunately, my two friends M and G, whom I used to watch JJBA with, have broken up.
One Saturday morning two weeks back, M called me up to ask about something I don't even remember now, because in the next minute it all came flooding out: how she planned to break up with G, why she needed to, asking how she should stop herself from getting roped back into staying in the relationship. They'd been dating for about two years or so, moved cross-country together, and had the long-term in mind, but incompatible mindsets was what did them in. My heart hurts for them--they truly both love each other, but as it goes, sometimes that's not enough. Sometimes you meet at the wrong time, and hurt each other.
An utter, sad mess.
G and I still chat; and he'll be moving to a different city and rooming with a mutual friend. I can't tell how he'll be in the long run, since I can't see him in person, but hopefully something will click for him. He was asking me the other day how badly he had fucked up, how he'd been turning the relationship over in his mind and couldn't understand what happened. I didn't want to betray M's trust and relay to him what she told me in confidence, but at the same time...surely she told him her reasons. M always explains herself; she's incredibly straight-forward, blunt, and dare I say, ruthless.
All I could reply was that he needed to listen to the reason M gave him for the break-up. Rotate that in his brain. Listen to her. Those are your answers.
I don't know.
Most of my friends don't come to me for relationship advice, mainly because my closest friends and I haven't had relationships, so my advice skills are under cooked. But hopefully he got something out of that. Or finds help from someone else soon.
But so, for JJBA rewatch, it'll just be M and me now. We were always the two who talked through the show the most, so despite G being gone, it still feels like the same old hang-out stream.
In other news, I completed the game Disco Elysium and saw the movie "Nope" in theaters this past week. I've been unable to get either of them out of my brain soup for long. I've already started a second run in Disco Elysium, lost too many hours of sleep last night reading Harry/Kim fanfic, and identified "Ship to Wreck" as a Klaasje and Harry song, after listening to it on repeat all night. And every now and then I remember the terror that is known as Jean Jacket, the black hole that is her mouth, and the horse and the cowboy riding fast in the California desert with a string of flags flying behind them, saving their life...
