Omg The Whole Scene Where Chook Goes To Visit Ca$h In Jail Is SO,,, Like Chook Forgiving C$h After Literally

omg the whole scene where Chook goes to visit Ca$h in jail is SO,,, like Chook forgiving C$h after literally getting a bunch of other eshays that Chook presumably likes (seeing as he hangs around with them so often) and almost getting Chook himself locked up is so crazy. I wanna learn more about their history because Chook goes so far as calling Ca$h family even after all he did and that is so interesting because it must mean that they have been through a lot of shit together. It's also kinda implied that Chook feels protective of Ca$h (even if his 'protectiveness' may really be the need to have power over him cough cough) from what we see in the boat scene and others.

Like imagine being Ca$h, this guy who you've known basically your whole life and have looked up to in some ways starts showing his worst side and you're forced to realise how fucked you're whole relationship has been. On top of that, most of the people around you don't understand how difficult it is to lose such a big part of your childhood (even if it was a really shitty part looking back) and then lose the protection you had while being 'Chooks kid' to try and move on and be free of who people though you should be. I get why the other characters would think dropping Chook and the other eshays would be a piece of cake because they don't really know anything about Ca$h's life with them but as a viewer, it's so sad to see Ca$h struggle and not even be able to talk to anyone about it without looking like he was fine with everything Chook and the others did.

Honestly, I could go on about Ca$h and Chook for so long and maybe I will later but I'll end my rambling here.

(UPDATE)

I started shadows and shading!!!

Okay firstly I’m not Australian and before I watched hbh I’ve never heard of eshays (also not British so no clue about roadman either) and even now I only know about them in the fictional sense.

But everything I read about them makes me think that is rather hard to actually become one, especially one being kind of respected. Which Ca$h arguably is. Chook lets him get away with more stuff than others it seems (Ca$h lost the clothes/money and Chook let him just pay him back, which sure isn’t easy but he actually didn’t harm him for that, he punched him in the face bc Ca$h put himself between Chook and the boy). Chook also really seems to have trusted Ca$h and had some deeper bond with him, one that Ca$h reciprocated.

While we don’t know the details, Chook evidently was the person who helped Ca$h. He got him out of his troubled home, got him a family and trust and somewhere to belong. Gave him a name to be respected. And all this apparently before Ca$hs Nan was in the picture. So Ca$h had no one but Chook. So to get to the point Ca$h and Chook have a complex relationship, in which being eshays is just one part but one that definitely makes it even more difficult to get out of it.

And so I don’t understand how Darren, Harper and Amerie expect Ca$h to simply cut the eshays and especially Chook off. Like they seem to understand that they are dangerous but expect Ca$h to just walk away from them without facing consequences? Ca$h isn’t just some runner for Chook who maybe could get away with it, he’s part of Chook's inner circle.

In the end I’m just mad because they don’t think about it, Ca$h is putting his life (and to his horror also his Nan's and his friends life) in danger and the others don’t see it and are just pissed that Ca$h doesn’t do what they want him to.

Something that makes me hate Tua S3 even more is how dumb they made Klaus's fear of ghosts. I loved how they showed his trauma and overall fear of the dead in S1 because we as the viewers found them scary. The loud noises, gory images and inclosed feeling made Klaus's whole view of the ghosts feel more unsettling and justified. In S3 I feel like they got rid of all the creepy, eerie vibes of Klaus and his power to the point that the whole scene in the graveyard in ep7 felt more goofy than anything. The ghosts were more cartoony, less suffocating and green 💀(no idea why they chose green). In S1 we learn why klaus stays drugged up and numb because we get a glimpse into his head and can imagine how he feels, he avoids his powers for like 20+ years because of this fear yet in S3 he gets over it in like a single episode? I feel like S3 could've been such a good season for klaus and his powers but in the end it was too rushed. Idk how to feel about S4 but I really REALLY hope it's better than S3.

re watching s1 of hbh and I only just realised that Ca$h buys extra groceries for his Nan because he was planning to send Harper the video and knew he'd probably get locked up for it and he didn't want his Nan to not have food. maybe I'm just slow but that scene only just clicked after rewatching it.

Chook saying "it's just you and me lad, like the old times." when Ca$h asks 'where the others are', insinuates that in the past, Chook took Ca$h on jobs alone when he was still a minor (Ca$h's 18 in the show and I assume when Chook says 'old times' he means over a year ago). It kinda adds to the whole decision Ca$h makes of leaving the eshays because he literally grew up with them and that life, that's all he's known. Going to do shady shit with someone Ca$h probably considered family and cared about while being so young must've really shaped him growing up. Also, the way Chook says it so happily must mean that Chook genuinely enjoyed spending time with Ca$h and being alone with him and made Ca$h's decision to leave way harder because he saw how happy his (basically older brother figure) was to be spending time with them. I'm really glad that in the end, Ca$h sees how fucked up Chook and the rest of them really are and doesn't let the good image he had of them distract him from what they really were like to other people.
