Schitt's Creek
Schitt's Creek
Maybe my family should have moved to a small town....
I really dig shows and movies with a brother and sister duo. A big part of that is because they oftentimes have a relationship with their sibling that I was just not quite lucky enough to have. I watch and laugh with them because it’s something I always wanted.
Anyway, this week’s post was inspired by this tweet:
Dan Levy created Schitt’s Creek and my goodness do I love it. I really didn’t at first and I actually got to it late, like when it was already done late but when I finally got into it I was obsessed. It’s something I rewatch constantly, sometimes from the start, sometimes by just closing my eyes and picking an episode to play while I worked or cleaned.
Usually, in shows, I get quickly attached to the lovers, my mind just zooms in on the couples and I am like “ooooohhhh what’s this about?! whats their story?! TELL ME NOW!!!”. Next up, I end up trying to find myself in one of the characters, “Who is most like me? who do I connect with most?” But while watching Schitt’s Creek something different happened — I got quickly attached to David and Alexis, and their relationship as siblings.
I only have one sibling, he’s older than me by about 7 years. We grew up in the same house together, parent’s never separated or anything like that but, we don’t have a relationship. It’s for many reasons that I won’t be getting into but oftentimes it makes me sad.
When I’m watching David and Alexis have a fight, hatching a plan to do something sneaky, or just exchanging looks that only they could give, you’ll always catch me laughing but sometimes then I’ll go someplace somber for a moment. Wondering why I couldn’t have that or maybe even reminisce on the occasional memories that I have with my brother that did make me smile.
i don’t feel like I’m spoiling anything but the finale really did me in. The wedding, the love, knowing that Alexis was there to witness it all makes me sad. I have a love that he doesn’t even know about, one that I haven’t shared with him because our conversations are few and far between. I’ve gone back and forth over the years with trying to rekindle the relationship and move thru any old pain, but it’s so hard without getting the apology that I crave first to properly do it.
I fear I’ll never get it, and I’ve resolved myself to understanding that what we have right now is all there will be. But whenever I want more — whenever I wanna dream about it — I’ll always have Alexis and David to tune into. And when they say “A helllllllmettt!” I’ll make a wish every time and hope for just a little bit more.
