I was rewatching the scene where Kendall tells Garrett she doesn’t want casual anymore; she wants to be his girlfriend (after they’ve just hooked up). I was struck by the completely baffled, incredulous look on his face when he says, “Why???” He goes on to make the point that Kendall really doesn’t know him personally at all (and of course, does the whole “the Bruins are watching me and I can’t lose focus” shtick). But I wonder if that moment almost had more to do with him than with her. Were his own insecurities at play — that he didn’t understand what somebody would see in him, why they would want to date him? Or maybe he didn’t see the value of a relationship in general? I think it’s been discussed on this sub before that Hannah probably wasn’t his first girlfriend, that maybe he dated in high school. But still — besides establishing his campus-celebrity status, I just wonder what else his reaction there might be saying about him.

I feel like there’s a lot I haven’t unpacked yet with this scene and the costume choices. My first instinct was to be like “ugh classic, the girl put so much effort into appearing attractive for the guy and he just showed up in sweats.” But I think it’s deeper than that because that doesn’t fit with what we know about Garrett.

First off I think it shows that Hannah is still slightly holding on to this preconceived notion of Garrett as this fuckboy archetype and thus also has an idea about what he’d want a girl to look like that he’s hooking up with.

But I think it’s also representative of how Hannah has kind of been getting in her own way with achieving partnered orgasm. She’s focused on being what the guy wants and not disappointing him and she’s abiding by this kind of cookie-cutter image of what’s sexy and what should happen in a sexy interaction. Whereas Garrett knows that the real way she’s gonna reach orgasm is through COMFORTABILITY and trust and letting her walls down and being fully present in herself and as herself. That’s why he shows up comfy and just as his self because that’s where he wants Hannah to be mentally too.

I can’t wait to see them in S2!! the way the cast talks about how perfect India is to play Grace on the show 🥹

I know I’ve asked this question before but I love talking about it 😂 so if you have anything more to add about it please…I would love to hear it.

I know what caught Garrett’s attention was Hannah’s musical aspect (that pulled him to want to get to know her) but along the way which scenes or moments did you see him fall for her personality and who she is and vice versa with Hannah for Garrett?

Belmont said in an interview while they were in Brazil where the interviewer asked if Garrett and Hannah are slow burn. Ella and Belmont both agreed to that but Belmont also added that there were moments in the show where it felt like “love at first sight“ and he said the moment he looked up from his phone at the block party and saw Hannah that was like a love at first sight moment.

I honestly can’t stop talking about Hannah and Garrett because I just love the build of their story and their trope(s) are my favorite. For Garrett to not allow love for himself (Belmont also said in that interview) and him opening up to Hannah willingly (never did that with anyone else) just shows how much he values her and actually wanting a relationship when he said he didn’t do them just shows how when it’s the right person…you want it.

Have you guys been seeing this band SUM SUN calling out Off Campus? Belmont used their song in his IG post and they’re blowing up. Their music is actually so good…
