RAFE AND KIARA!?! Outer Banks | 3x2: “The Bells” REACTION!!

[@CL_442]

Sarah and JJ are still friends, Cleo and John B are still friends, Kiara and John B are still friends, Sarah and Pope are still friends, Cleo and JJ are still friends, Kiara and Pope are still friends. In no way does putting JJ and Kiara together say that guys and girls can't be friends.

[@kittycats217]

THIS!!!! I really don’t understand that angle being argued

[@aniah7430]

Exactly so it no sense on why that viewpoint is constantly address everybody is still friends and like another comment stated them all liking kiara is hella realistic bc she pretty they all been friends for a long time and she’s always down for whatever so it makes sense that they think she pretty and has a thing for her and John and pope are still her friends whether or not they kissed

[@michellecassata8391]

it really does you dont understand the friend group was kie and the boys that ruined now due to jj

[@marvelousmia]

nathan is jealous the show doesn’t just focus on john b and sarah

[@emptyheaded7182]

except that these friendships get put on the back burner and basically aren't showcased at all, just told. especially in s3, so that doesn't count. people loved s1 because they didn't just care about coupling people up and one type of dynamic (that is forced as well). it does kind of say that because kiara had to "be" in some capacity or another with *every* single one of her guy friends to stay "friends"??? how does that make sense? and how is it somehow romantic and a win that she's now with jj, the last guy on her list? i think her staying with no pogue on pogue macking for all them would've been a much stronger (and logical) character move than whatever this was. she cherished a solid group of friends and she didn't want to jeopardize that by changing the group dynamic and causing awkward tension.

[@prodigywitch7685]

i know y'all aren't the biggest kiara fans, but she did what she had to do to rafe. she has no reason to trust or help him after everything he's done. her playing him to get out of that house was smart af.

All the guys liking Kiara is actually one of the more realistic parts of the show. She’s beautiful, loyal and is down for whatever stupid plan they come up with. I always thought Rafe liked Kiara. The show never explored Kie’s look year but most theories assume Sarah, Kie and Rafe were close for a while.

[@Spicytamale02]

Rafe and Sarah have always had issues so I doubt they were close lol, whenever Kie talks about Rafe it’s always w/ disgust. I think bc Sarah and Kie were so close Rafe would just see her around his house.

The fact that most of you can't accept the fact that they just don't ship jiara and are trying to push your opinions onto them is just mind blowing it's ok for them to not like a certain ship you shouldn't try to force them to like a ship just because you do for example I liked Scott and Malia together in teen wolf they didn't and that's their personal opinion I'm not going to force mine onto them

[@bellesharrar4255]

@@JustUs It doesn’t though. JJ and Sarah are friends with no romantic feelings. To me John B and Kiara don’t count because after the kiss they realized they didn’t like eachother like that. Even pope and kie. They hooked up but never dated eachother. JJ has liked Kiara since season 1 but as he said “I have tried and that door is locked”. He always backed off because of that but he still liked her. An example would be how jealous he always got when she kissed another or when she asked John B if he told JJ about their kiss. Their have been little moments but they were there so it’s no too forced as you guys think and the show still shows guys and girls can be friends

Kiara did the right thing and pushed Rafe off the ship. How can she trust someone like him who has tried multiple times to kill or hurt the Pogues? Of course you have to try to humanize the character Rafe a bit to make some people feel sympathy for him, but that doesn't take back what he did. And Jiara never seemed forced to me and there are some friendships between men and women on the show. I also find it a bit strange that Kiara is "passed around".

That’s trauma for every time I see his face. Realistically, you can’t come back from that. There is no redemption or forgiveness. Only in tv shows and movies can that work out. For someone like me who is a Christian, even for me I know there are limits to that. To an extent, you can forgive but never forget.

i may be wrong but i watched some of your reactions and you guys seem to be watching s3 with a negative mindset towards jj and kie without even knowing how their storyline is going to develop. just let the story roll out and see how you feel afterwards. i'm not saying you guys have to like them together, but give them a chance at least. also, the actors themselves don't mind kiara and jj together at all, if anything maddison (kiara's actor) has expressed interest in exploring their relationship multiple times in the past and in recent interviews/promotions of season 3 she explains their relationship beautifully without any issues, so did rudy (jj’s actor)...the only issue the actors have is when obsessive fans can't separate reality from fiction and harass their real life partners etc. because of fictional ships. that's obviously crossing the line. again, if you guys don't feel them together it's fine but i feel like ever since y'all heard about that issue that happened with fans harassing their partners a few years ago guys fixated on this mindset that the actors somehow are being forced to act as love interests when they actually hate it which isn't necessarily true; they hate being shipped in real life, they don't mind their characters being shipped on the show... i also get the whole "they just reinforce the idea that girls and guys can't be friends" argument but remember back in the very first ep of s1 john b said that all of them (pope, jj and john b) had a thing for her and if they're gonna pair her together with someone anyway then i'd rather it be jj bc they actually have chemistry and work. i see no point in introducing a new character just to be a love interest for her. also another thing... rafe is an interesting character but i'm not defending him over kie. did y'all forget everything he did to her and her friends? he almost killed her, more than once. why would she help or trust rafe?

I liked Kie with John B. the most, but Pope and Kie weren't a bad match at all on rewatch (I'd rather them than JJ and Kiara.) They had some cute moments together, and I saw the potential. It's a shame how the writers ruined all of this and put Pope through so much unnecessary heartache just so they could give Jiara shippers what they wanted. If the creators stuck with their original plan to make Cleo and JJ a couple, then Pope and Kiara's relationship probably would've had an actual fighting chance to grow and come into its own.

[@yolenemabou1347]

@@Kelenerz i honestly think pope and kiara didn’t make any sense. Kie never showed any interest to pope and they barely had any scenes in season 1. Pope liking kie was pretty obvious but the fact that she rejected him and explained why she couldn’t see a future w him was making sense to me. Bc she never seemed into him at all but when she kissed him, i personally saw it as her feeling bad for him bc he’s her bff and was and is always so sweet to her so she wanted to give him a chance but the feelings weren’t there which lead to her telling him she thought they were better off as friends.

[@Kelenerz]

​@@yolenemabou1347 Popekie isn't my OTP, so if you didn't like them together, then that's fine. I'm not going to convince you otherwise, lol. I was merely voicing that I don't think they made a bad couple on paper, and they didn't when you actually examine their characters. They were both sensible and often portrayed as the parental-like figures of their friend group and helped their friends keep their heads on straight. They both enjoyed partaking in intellectual discussions and had niche interests that they were very passionate about: Kie with her environmentalism and Pope with forensics. Kie's also someone who needs structure and balance in her life and with Pope being the grounded individual that he is, I think he could've provided that for her and helped her in a lot of ways. I could see Kie doing the same with Pope due to her being a risk taker and possibly inspiring courage in him. Therefore, I don't agree with you that they didn't make any sense together. They were similar but also different in ways that complemented the other person. Kiara seemed like she was forcing herself to like Pope in S2 because by that point, the writers decided that they were going to focus on Jiara insead because that's what they believed the fans wanted. Of course, their relationship was going to feel off because the writers were deliberately doing everythig in their power to phase them out and set up Jiara. Before this derailment, however, they weren't a bad couple at all (at least in theory since we weren't shown much of them before S2) and had immense potential together. JJ and Kiara had less scenes togther in S1 than Pope and Kiara did, and it was mentioned in the pilot, I believe, that Kiara rejected JJ and had no interest in him, yet that didn't stop the fandom from shipping them nor the writers from putting them together. Pope and Kie had scenes together that I found adorable and believe showcased their potential/chemistry in a positive light such as their interaction at Midsummers, that time Kie opened up to Pope about her friendship with Sarah and Pope told her that he wouldn't have to think twice about who he'd choose if he was in John B.'s shoes, and the way Kie looked out for Pope after he blew his interview and discouraged him from smoking because she knew he was only doing it because he was in a bad place mentally. Even though their relationship in S2 was an absolute trainwreck, it was wholesome seeing Kiara gush over Pope bringing trash bags so they could clean up litter together (this also showed how well Pope knew Kiara and that he cared about the things that mattered most to her), as well as their general dynamic as they worked together to unconver the Denmark Tanny/cross mystery together. Again, Pope and Kiara aren't my favorite couple, but I think if the writers had actually built them up, then they could've been really solid together. Considering that the writers originally planned for a JJ/Cleo romance, then we would've likely seen this happen. Reagrdless, I just don't like how the writers threw away all of their potential, broke Pope's heart, assassinated Kie's character (I don't fault her for being confused by her feelings, but I don't see why she had to sleep with Pope in order to figure this out; it felt like she was using him and it was gross), and caused a weird strain in JJ and Pope's friendship just so they could give into the demands of Jiara shippers.

Rafe and Kie should be explore in season 4. If not I’m Team give Kiara a girlfriend out of the Pogue’s group.

[@booklover007]

that’s just problematic and creepy.

[@amyperaltiago]

rather have her single than rafe and kiara . the only thing that rafe should be shipped with is some sound therapy. Even madison bailey (Kiara) she said the idea is ridiculous and her getting with rafe is Kiara getting the short end of the stick lmao

No JJ is her soulmate y’all sound crazy as hell

The jiara moments are so weird to me, cause they just seem so forced.

[@HazelAmarie]

They’ve been building this up for 2 seasons what is shocking about them being together?

[@bamonfans53]

exactly

[@elsal1353]

@@HazelAmarie It's not shocking at all that they got together, It just wasn't done in natural way imo. Based on how many fans shipped Jiara it was kinda obvious that the creators would listen to the fans and make them get together. I just didn't like the way they did it.

[@emptyheaded7182]

@@HazelAmarie No, they haven't. Season 1 they had no intention of Jiara. Season 2 she dated Pope and gave almost zero inclination she liked JJ. Season 3 she's suddenly in love and obsessed with him. How is this "building up"? It's crappy writing and now she's had a thing with every guy in the group = cringe.

[@bellesharrar4255]

@@emptyheaded7182 You clearly have to rewatch season 1 and 2 if you think their was “nothing”. I suggest a Jiara edit!!

[@tyjahh]

Even Madison herself ships jiara herself like how do y’all not see it it’s been there since season 1

[@jjjjjj4521]

Rafe and kiara can never happen. Come on now she hates him. And he’s absolutely insane.

Sarah is just an L at this point every season she is an L the best and worst girl you could have in your life
