Elon is the first person to be so rich he can buy rockets, social media platforms, and influence, but still has no charisma, respect, or the affection of his own blood.
fentanyl does kill. stop taking these pills, stop doing coke. sam levison did a lot of fucked up shit this season but the thing he got right is how fentanyl is taking everyone and everything n he took a major tv show to highlight how bad the problem is getting
> be Rue Bennett
> open the entire series in 2019 with your first breath
> the very first shot of the show is you being born
> lose your father young, find drugs to fill the hole
> become the heart of Euphoria for three seasons
> the character an entire generation saw themselves in
> fight addiction, relapse, get clean, relapse again
> narrate it all with a calm that never matched the chaos inside
> in season 3, turn informant for the DEA
> almost make it out
> then your boss finds out you're a rat and laces your pills with fentanyl
> as you fade on Ali's couch, you dream of a sunlit field
> Fezco is there. you reach for your dead father and he holds you one last time
> the actor who played Fezco, Angus Cloud, died of an overdose in real life in 2023
> so the show gave Rue's final moments a reunion with the friend the world already lost
> Ali finds you gone, and spends the finale avenging you
the show opened with her first breath and closed with her last.
a show about addiction lost one of its own to it - then gave its lead the same ending. Rue's last dream wasn't just goodbye to a character. it was goodbye to Angus too.
Harry Styles signed a doll for a fan that had a sign saying this would be their last show due to their illness, at the show tonight. 🥹♥️

On a side note, this is the most vulnerable we've seen of Fisk since he was a boy, and by the end? That one shred of humanity gets taken away. I can't believe they almost made me feel bad for this terrible power couple.
Vincent D'Onofrio is one amazing actor. ❤
I know the cast seems over it and eager to distance themselves from the show, but I really appreciate that Zendaya still delivering the same caliber of performance that earned 2 Emmy wins. She slips right back into Rue seamlessly.
