[Early Access] Take Off S2 Ch.128 "The Eulogy (Part 2)"
Added 2024-11-10 04:30:07 +0000 UTC| Previous Chapter |
There is a version with content warning, and a version without! Please download the pdf version you'd most prefer to read this in.
I think I said Chapter 128 will have 2 parts, but alas it is long and will end up with 3 parts... I apologize for the agonizing wait and ⚠️spoiler⚠️ no sign of Nathan yet, but soon he'll be found. Please feel free to read parts 1 and 2 together, or wait for part 3 to come out as well as I believe that'll be the best reading experience for this chapter!
See you all in part 3✍️💪
Comments
The feelings of disappointment, when you're a true success...I felt that! You're writing evokes emotions within the reader, I never expected this was coming from reading season 1! I'm so glad you decided to keep it going!

2024-12-14 19:49:50 +0000 UTC看完免费版以后特意跑过来评论，因为看到这章真的狠狠地共情了，好心疼Andrew😭前面看到他一个人在房间里自说自话排练，看片做笔记，以及约会前去餐厅踩点这些情节根本笑不出来，因为这些我都做过……从他写的电影也能看出他一直很压抑自己，直到看到这里我终于理解了，我和他的upbringing还有留学经历一模一样😭高考时只想考最好的名牌大学，因为只有这样才能满足父母的期待，第一志愿落榜的时候感觉天都塌了，虽然最后也读到了不错的大学，但是一直很难受，觉得本来可以做到最好。直到现在我也不清楚自己读的大学、专业究竟是因为自己真的喜欢还是因为排名高能让父母开心😞我真的很能理解Andrew孤独和渴望被爱的感觉，因为我大学时最大的幻想就是希望能有一个人能忽视掉我所有的缺点，疯狂地、不顾一切地爱着我。我花了很长时间才意识到自己大部分的满足感来源于当我达成（我单方面认为地）别人对我的期待，为了融入别人可以忽视掉自己的喜恶，甚至不惜撒谎。因为只想把最完美的一面展现给对方，即使是微不足道的小事只要觉得不够完美就会自卑，因为自卑又会把对方推得更开，每天只能这样患得患失……这样的性格不仅让自己很累也会给对方造成负担……所以我真的好爱Nathan，聪明理智而且逻辑清晰，能勇敢地表达自己，不喜欢也会明确拒绝，我做梦都想成为这样的人😭 而且我很感激Nathan能拒绝Andrew，他是真的在乎Andrew才会说这些话，不然早就PUA 对方 了……如果当时也有一个像Nathan一样的人能骂醒我就好了😢 因为Andrew和我的留学经历真的很像，所以我想问问老师您本人是不是也有类似的经历？您觉得自己和Andrew更像还是和Nathan更像呢？还是说您是是以第三视角在创作这部作品呢🥹非常感谢

2024-11-19 13:45:35 +0000 UTCi saw this today on twt and oohhh felt an unstoppable urge to post it here🥲 (i wish i could say it to nathan’s face): “having sex with someone actually is a big deal and involves a ton of vulnerability and I think it's extremely troubling and gross and unhealthy and actually exceptionally dangerous that we pretend otherwise and encourage people to "be mature" by compartmentalizing/completely eliminating their deeper human emotions from their sexuality and that any other view is dismissed as prudish and invalid and unenlightened and childish and restrictive. I can't think about this too much because it makes me rage but I hate how much porn and capitalism have destroyed how we understand and experience sexuality and intimate connections with one another so much”

2024-11-11 15:01:10 +0000 UTCI think it might be a college in his home country, maybe 🤔. Hmm I'm curious too now. Lol

2024-11-11 11:40:55 +0000 UTCI feel awful 😔 for him. I'm glad he decided to make his own life though, even if he did struggle to get to that point. I bet he felt so much better, I mean look at that smile when he got accepted into NYU. He's so radiant in that moment, in that first moment of independencey he shines. I say he still struggles with those issues now though that's why he wasn't open with Nathan and honest but I believe they can get over it. These two are perfect for one another, I can't wait for them to make up, seriously, it's breaking my heart 💔 for them both. They deserves all the smiles and laughter ☺️

2024-11-10 09:41:38 +0000 UTCLiving as the children of controlling and demanding parents, even when you're no longer young and you've become an adult, is tough. Because there are learned patterns of behaviour from childhood always pushing you to perfectionism, difficulty in assertiveness and independence, lack of self-worth, feelings of inadequacy, fear of rejection and lack of healthy boundaries in any type of relationship. I can see all of these in Andrew. It gets better with therapy (speaking from experience). I hope he can get help in learning better behaviour patterns and causality. I wish him nothing but immense happiness 🥹

2024-11-10 08:43:27 +0000 UTCToday it was a bit more difficult to write down my thoughts (part 2 is probably too close to home). I am still not sure. Tried my best to cramp it here haha - although I have many more thoughts and feelings about it. Honestly I love all of your story and writing but "The euology" might be the best written part of Take Off - at least it looks very much like it. There aren't many times when someone manages to capture a feeling, that many people know but maybe can't really describe, so well. I think many can relate to Andrew right now. The disappointment at himself for not doing what would be "Best" in his parents eyes / for his parents. The way he looks throughout his whole learning journey to find what HE really wants. The sadness, tiredness, fear... Everything is there. And even the moment with the CW. You capture the essence, motive, thinking really good. And even followed by an epiphany. But the overall way of telling you did here is wonderful. Because we can see every stage of Andrews journey, every thought, etc. And it looks hauntingly similar to reality. Also shown in how he was drawn until the moment of his epiphany. After that the change, the happiness, the glow... He looks so unbelievably happy about it. As he should because it really seems like the first time he actually did something just for himself. So his life can be like he wants. So someone(Nathan!) will one day write that beautiful eulogy for him. But before that he can be happy and himself more. And shout out to Godard for making a comeback haha and being there for Andrew through everything! Thank you Jui and your Team for Part 2 of this chapter!💜 Wonderful work you did!

2024-11-10 04:43:11 +0000 UTCPoor Andrew! Everyone has the desire to be truly seen and loved by someone so I can understand how he’s struggling feeling confident when you feel like a disappointment to yourself and others😭He deserves so much love, both from himself and feeling genuinely loved by others!❤️🩹
Bella
2024-11-10 04:42:36 +0000 UTCI love how well you show his emotions as he’s realizing/discovering who *he* is and what *he* wants. Being an independent person from your family is hard. Especially when who you are doesn’t align with who they see you as.
