it's finally time for the dare me rewatch i've been craving all week

speak for yourself adelaide you were literally the only one waiting for her. you know who beth was actually waiting for???? YOU

the first thing addy says in this show is about coach while the first thing beth says is to addy... i see what you're doing there @ showrunners

they were so happy then

HER POWER

and yall really say addy was only into coach because she manipulated her when this is how she looked at her before either of them ever said a word to each other

this is yall's girl???

this is when i first realized beth is desperately in love with addy

i remember watching this and thinking "why does that random girl's dad offer them a ride and why does beth flip him off like that" not knowing he was also her dad yet lmao

and THIS is when i realized that addy doesn't love beth back

love of my life

so what if i am obsessed with her smile

sometimes the end of the world starts a long time before anyone truly sees it

she looks at you like you put the stars in the sky

beth sensing something is off about coach, addy favoring coach over beth, and beth feeling abandoned... it's the whole show in a nutshell right there

all the promises of MURDER, sir???

and that's what you missed on glee

babygirl really just said she doesn't care about spending time with beth

babe your jealousy is showing

elizabeth cancelled she uses (;

i hate her but i love her

the cinematography of it all

tfw i realized beth has some serious Issues

when addy walked straight into that gun beth was pointing at her, the only one who could get her to calm down... that's when i Knew i was gona be obsessed w them for a long time

the ANGST of it all

god she's so fucking gorgeous

episode 2

well that's among the biggest lies you ever told mrs french

i just can't stand the way she smokes oh my god

okay hot take but what if addy liked beth first but beth didn't care, then addy fell out of love right when beth fell IN love and now they're at a crossroads and tHAT'S what happened at cheer camp omg

how does she look at him like this when he looks like THAT

ngl i'm obsessed w how beth is trying to make addy jealous

omg how did i miss her trying this the first time

the lesbianims of it all

no offense but i love riri and i also love beth continuing to try and make addy jealous

the thrilling saga of "beth tries to make addy jealous" continues once again

shut up i'm crying

HER SECRET IS THAT SHE'S IN LOVE WITH YOU ADDY WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SEE THAT

not beth getting very emotional and addy just squaring up like she's about to get into a bitch fight w beth

not beth getting very emotional and addy just squaring up like she's about to get into a bitch fight w beth

mrs french be like let's queerbait this poor innocent girl !

see here: the root cause of all beth's problems

we will be continuing our rewatch today. episode 3

beth used to tell you, addy, that love is a kind of killing, and you're telling me you NEVER realized she was talking about you????

okay but who's the mom and who's the dad

yes girl you tell her who's best

only because she's broken inside

smack cam

omg foreshadowing

i'm sorry i just had to

don't tell me this wasn't fucking weird because it was

like matt from the vampire diaries said: that was messier than a soup sandwich

not to be That person but... parallels

Symbolism™

you know what i was wrong about you sarge matt from the vampire diaries, you're actually a decent guy

turns out dare me is actually a comedy streaming on netflix now

peak humor

me: i watch dare me for the plot
the plot:

is there anything in the world better than beth and addy teaming up against tacy? i think not

god she's so annoying

yeah because that's not weird at all since you're only 12 years older than these girls and also their cheer coach !

because it's her girlfriend's house duh

me when someone asks me why i love angst so much

ok dyke

fucking say it like it is, hanlon

you smile and you smile and then you stab me in the fucking heart

i'm not gonna lie i really thought this was gonna go in a whole different direction than it did

rubbing your "best friend's" legs can be something so personal

as evident by your later actions

episode 4

babe is this a metaphor for yourself and addy

literally WHY would you dO THAT beth gave that to YOU

noooo babygirl

a Questionable line of progress

first of all shut the fuck up, second of all of course the water was like ice it was a fucking ICE BATH

this is a bert cassidy hate account

YOU WENT INTO THAT FUCKING ICE BATH YOURSELF YOU LITTLE SHIT

not only am i a bert cassidy hate account i am also a tacy cassidy hate account

this therapist is like

not gonna lie she had us in the first half

so who's top and who's bottom? my vote is beth's a power bottom for addy and a top for everyone else

god bless the perv that invented these

kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss

women—

i gotta admit coach undressing and shouting at her husband is HOT

smoking might be bad for the lungs but it's surely not bad for the eyes

fUCK this dude (kurtz) honestly i wish i was him that got shot

eyes on your girl, hanlon

issa mood

and now she's also your problem

coach really only wants to have addy around when it's for her own gain huh she literally just doesn't give a single fuck about her at all

episode 5, aka my favorite

i fucking love this premise i fucking love this whole entire episode i'm so fucking ready let's go lesbians let's go

addy really thinks beth is just an ungrateful bitch

perhaps that's because she doesn't feel you'd understand addy

apparently this is a big thing in cheer who would've thunk definitely not me bc cheerleading is not a thing where i'm from !

sometimes you just gotta take a moment to appreciate how beautiful she is

in addy's version beth deadass just looks bored at the news they're going to regionals hhhh

addy just competely misses what's happening literally right above her omg babygirl

oop you can see her contact lenses here

she really thought she was doing something here didn't she

it's just so interesting how if you wanna see beth as a heartless bitch you can just easily interpret her behavior that way

anyone else sense a parallel between this and beth's mom telling her it's her fault she made beth think she could "do anything, be anything" and the whole "there's something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls" thing

you know what i take it back sarge will is actually a really sweet guy. he's been shown to care for beth's wellbeing multiple times, first after lanvers now after playland... maybe he's not so bad after all

point in case!!!

i just realized that from coach's pov neither addy nor beth stands out from the squad like to her they really are all just part of the squad and they're absorbed into it during the routines

she's so sweet in her own mind

beth very strongly remembers looking for her necklace because it means a lot to her

OH NO THE HAMSA

shut the fUCK UP TACY

this is all very upsetting but what's also upsetting is the fact that they use . in their texts

i fucking hate men so fucking much

i specifically hate kurtz so fucking much but also just men in general when are they gonna realize women don't owe them anything least of all an explanation for their behavior when they feel threatened by a man towering over them

babe if you want addy to listen then you gotta talk to her because people are dense and don't pay attention to you even though you think you're screaming for help the loudest you can but she isn't gonna know something is wrong unless you tell her

babygirl was going through a whole ass panic attack and still managed to stay on top (unlike someone else) she really wins this round

really wish my arms looked like this when i'm going through a panic attack ngl

okay but if faith drives a police car then how does beth's necklace end up there or does addy drive her mom's other car bc that makes more sense

you know what i know for sure there is a lie in there somewhere

i did an extensive thread analyzing episode 5 and all the differences in everyone's narrative i found https://twitter.com/luthvers/status/1244701925595021313?s=20

https://twitter.com/luthvers/status/1244701925595021313?s=20

episode 6

tag yourself i'm addy

eyes on your girl, addy

sure this looks very convincing i'm very convinced

i literally did not know her name before right now omg

beth casually saying dark shit is hitting a little harder after episode 5 ngl

i can't believe i'm saying this but i actually agree w her for once

no, babe, i know you think coach cares about you but she really doesn't. adults shouldn't be friends (or more) with teenagers, that's just not how it works babygirl

not gonna lie but i feel kinda bad for him

yes sir say it!!

i hate this so much i wish someone would just hold her

when i tell you there are literal tears in my eyes

can i just once again applaud the details in the lighting going from bright to dark and making it feel physically cold somehow

i hate how she feels she can't open up to addy i hate it so much

i'm obsessed w the way there's still the faint bruising on her arm and the fading scratch on her neck literally every department on this show is doing the absolute Most

i DoN't WaNnA gO tO jAiL aGaIn

okay theory time but does anyone else feel like this was all some sort of elaborate plan where matt found out about coach and will and they decided that if coach iced him out he'd go crazy and it would be more convincing that he'd kill himself and they wouldn't be incriminated

beth tops confirmed

coach said gay rights

im not gonna tweet a picture of what's in the bag (bloody tampons) but lmao fuck tacy

it's not what she deserves!!

as they should!! because sometimes what you want is not an okay thing to want!!! and sometimes (when you're like 16 and your cheer coach is making you feel Special because she wants something from you) people exploit the things you want for their own gain

god i feel so bad for her she's so in love

not to sound like a het but upon rewatch sarge will is so much more interesting now that i know what's really going on here like coach whole ass cheated on her husband with him this entire time and he didn't even know she had a daughter

actually jj (i can't believe her name is jj and she has a daughter named riri but okay) she's not here because she's fucking matt from the vampire diaries

okay new theory: matt from dare me found out that coach is cheating on him with matt from the vampire diaries and that's why things have been tense between them and but she actually cares about tvd!matt (?) and if she continues to see him her and dm!matt will hurt tvd!matt????

does anyone else think he looks like that guy from the office

don't drink and drive

WAIT NEW THEORY in order to keep her life with her husband and her kid (like she said earlier in the episode) she's staging this thing where she makes it seem like sarge will hurt her and that's why her and matt get rid of him

my heart hurts for her

addybeth rise

episode 7

(what if what he says isn't "you'll kill 'em" but "you'll kill him")

oop there she (cheer camp mention) is

tHEIR SMILES

beth said i'm desperately in love with my best friend and i'm proud

i really wonder why she thinks no one knows she smokes since the smell stays on you for ages after even just holding a cigarette but okay

but now where are tania and sierra gonna sleep

gaslight
/ˈɡaslʌɪt/
verb
manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity.

no one has to tell beth to keep her eyes on her girl because she's already watching

marlo really decided to up her gay this episode didn't she

before now when they would talk about going to regionals it was always just the two of them but now there's coach and for addy that's better but for beth that's worse

okay but what if she's talking about being away from will but how she knows it'll eventually be worth it because she'll be able to come home to her family

okay but WHAT HAPPENED AT CHEER CAMP LAST SUMMER

yes for example beth is hopelessly in love with addy

okay i mean freaky but sure whatever

but what's her moon and rising

it's weird enough that you're being like this to her but singling her out from her friends to sit in a sauna w u is truly just mindblowingly weird

she's been dropping hints about being lowkey sue of cidal left and right and no one's picking up on them

sure looks pretty though

yeah, coach, i think she does

fucking addy

yeah, space between ... and i

just because it's true doesn't mean you should say it

first of all you're deflecting second of all no need to be this harsh about it

one time, long ago, beth told me something. "one day you'll break my heart," she said. i told her that would never happen, but part of it felt real and true

this is their whole problem. beth cares about addy too much, addy cares about cheer too much, and it muddles their conversations

this, right here, is the reason i don't think addy loves beth. because when beth literally asks why addy likes coach more than beth, addy's answer is this. implying that beth in inferior to everyone else. implying that beth will never be enough. that she will never love her back

this is what she does. she goes through shit and puts on a smile to cover it all up, to pretend nothing ever happened. really wish someone would give her a hug and also some therapy

ngl but this whole slow motion sequence gave me rumor has it / someone like you vibes

episode 8

god, she's good, i gotta give her that

THEN WHY DID YOU CALL HER

okay but if bleach gets the blood out then why put them in a bag at all and not just let addy walk on them??? have i not watched enough crime shows to understand this or is it all a way to make addy hide the shoes and look guilty

okay so she wrecked her car and took a taxi to make sure her car couldn't be linked to the crime scene and made addy come over in her car to link her to the crime scene???

shut up you literally asked her to come over there knowing there was a whole ass dead body in there shut the fuck up colette

at least she changed her wallpaper back

they're not friends, addy. they're adults. and they want something.

okay another theory but what if coach did all this to make sure addy looked guilty when the shoes were eventually found by, as coach knows, addy's cop mom

just because she's mad at you doesn't mean she's not still in love with you

no offense but this contrast with how addy didn't realize something was up with beth for a whole episode meanwhile beth only needs like 3 minutes to figure it out

the volume at which i screamed when i found out beth had given addy the hamsa that she then for some reason gave away to coach of all people

beth said fuck blue lives

okay but why did she say "yes i remember" so fast like what did it mean to her

i wanted to say what if her wrist is a metaphor for her heart but we all know addy still has her heart so that can't be true

anyone else hear that interview where marlo said she's double jointed

beth's just casually having the best day of her life

parallels!!!

see this is the type of look that i can believe means addy's in love with beth too and maybe she was at some point but i just don't think she still is

after the first kiss it's so obvious that beth didn't expect this to happen EVER and that she believes this might mean something is gonna happen. LOOK AT HER SMILE. she's so happy

after the first kiss it's so obvious that beth didn't expect this to happen EVER and that she believes this might mean something is gonna happen. LOOK AT HER SMILE. she's so happy

but then here addy laughs in the same way i laughed after kissing my best friend who i have no romantic feelings for and the contrast with the way beth smiles in the way you smile after finally kissing the girl you've been pining after... idk man. we don't have all the pieces yet
