A day late, I came back to express my appreciation for Danny's line re:rules. It's something I say a lot myself! And oh, isn't it horrible to see parts of our parents in ourselves.

2023-07-07 04:22:30 +0000 UTCCharles' comment about her being perceptive makes me wonder about his thoughts on some of their arguments. I mean, he's made racially tinged comments to Sal too so it's not just Linda, but I wonder if there's other stuff he has noticed

2023-07-06 16:02:47 +0000 UTCIt's... kind of awful that they need a white man to show up and tell them nice things about their daughter before they're willing to start accepting or believing those things, though.

2023-07-06 05:56:43 +0000 UTCWow, Danny draws out the best in... Sal's parents? This is actually amazing. He established himself as the type of person they'd trust, and then he praised their daughter for being good at something they value, and they found themselves agreeing. Seems like real progress. They absolutely should not have needed this kind of hand-holding to see the best in their daughter, nor to require it from a white boy who checks their boxes for wholesomeness. But it's working (for now), and I'm happy about that. I'm also seeing more and more what Sal sees in Danny. He genuinely respects her in a way that few, if any, other characters do.

2023-07-06 04:00:52 +0000 UTCI'd make a joke about how Linda can't be mad at Sal for doing that then but that didn't really work out about smoking now did it?
