The show asks us the following questions about Justin:
-
How do you feel about Justin? Love/Like/Neutral/Dislike/Hate?
-
How responsible is Justin for Jessica's rape?
-
Was Justin telling the truth when he said he was covering up Jess's rape for her own sake? Or did he have more selfish motives?
-
Was Justin wrong to instruct Charlie to place incriminating evidence for Bryce's murder in Monty's locker so he could be framed?
-
Should Justin if he were alive be held accountable for 4?
-
Why did Justin help frame Monty? For Alex? For Jess? For Clay? For all three?
-
Is Jesstin a healthy relationship?
-
Do you think Dr Ellman was correct that Justin didn't feel worthy of being saved hence why he didn't tell anyone he may have AIDS?
-
Do you blame anyone for Justin's death?
-
How do you feel about Amber's parenting of Justin? And about Amber as a person overall?
-
How would you rank Justin morally?
Where do I sign up for lessons, Mr. Foley?
In the show, dead characters would be seen walking away or going out the door to symbolize their bereaved friends and family being able to let go and move on, just as with Clay and Hannah during the funeral, Winston and Monty during prom, and Jessica and Bryce at the burial of the tapes.
Have we ever seen dead Justin walking out the door or walking away from Clay or Jessica or anyone? Could this be an easter egg for, who knows, another season? Or does this only show that Clay nor Jessica, two of the people whom Justin are closest to, haven't really moved on from Justin's death yet?
I found this fic. It's a 10part series but honestly, the first chapter alone makes everything better. It's so well written and truly captures Clay and Justin's relationship beautifully. I feel the NEED to share it w EVVVVERYONE. I hope it eases your soul like it did mine ❤️
I mean am I wrong? Teddy and Owen are stupid annoying together. They are not an epic love. Her and Henry killed it together the way that Meredith and Scott Speedman’s character killed it. Can we bring him back already?
What is that thing on Justin’s neck during TRW Season 4?? Is it a hickey or a mole or an injury. Idk
Justin Foley’s Death hit us all hard. Just as he turned his life around they take him from us. Out of all the Favorite characters of mine over the years. Justin Foley (Brandon Flynn) and Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) are the only characters to have elicited such a strong emotional response. I’ve been dwelling on Justin’s death since June 6. I am frustrated why they found it necessary to end 13 Reasons Why on such a depressing bittersweet tune. They couldn’t have had Justin and Clay head off to college? Why did someone have to die. One character had died each season. Season 3 had two. Season one: Jeff Atkins. Season 2; Hannah Blake. Season 3 Bryce Walker and Monty de la Cruz. Season 4: Justin Foley. It’s Justin’s death that was the most tragic and devastating. The fact that Clay was on his own due to Justin focusing on his recovery makes his death even more tragic. I wonder if 13 Reasons Why explored alternatives. I would have rather not have the Shock of Justin’s death just to have it end on a neutral note. NOT ALL STORIES need deaths in them.
I applaud Brandon Flynn for his talent portraying “Justin Foley”. I disagree with his reasons for wanting his character to end the way it did.
I also Applaud Dylan Minnette for his portrayal of “Clay Jensen” and acting I season 4. And I disagree with his reasoning to defend Justin Foley’s death.
Timothy Grenanderos as Montgomery “Monty” de la Cruz. The actr reported how mentally draining it is to portray such a depraved individual BRAVO ZULU.
The Series was great. All characters in series finale got closure and happy endings. Aside from The loss of Justin Winston ended on something less than happy. He ended up alone and disliked by the others. Except maybe Alex Standall. Winston did learn a lesson or two. Although he did get the truth on who killed Bryce. It came at enormous cost. He lost Alex. And by the time graduation came around he was already dating Charlie St. George.
REST IN PEACE JUSTIN FOLEY.
As saddening the event is, Justin's death should be a reminder about the terrible things which can happen if one is not helped and supported to build a strong sense of self from a very young age.
No character death has ever affected me this much. I didn't even religiously watch this show, but his death hit me HARD. Especially the love between him and Clay, when Clay held his hand until it was time for him to go, and then kissed his hand, and when he told hallucination-Justin that he misses him. It's like I KNEW Justin, like he was my best friend. Clay holding Jessica's hand and resting his head on her shoulder at the funeral is a very beautiful scene and it's hard to watch without the tears coming back again. I needed to let it out so I played Justin's song (by Eskmo) and had a good cry. I will try to watch the show again but it's really hard after knowing what's going to happen. It started and ended with that damn smile. Rest in peace, Justin Foley-Jensen.
Am I the only one that kept watching because of him? Brandon Flynn is such a good actor he really captures the hurt and pain in Justin, who is in general my favorite character, on top of that he’s attractive AF lmao
I am referring to 13 Reasons Why characters for those who don’t watch that show.
Justin and JJ both have abusive homes, and although Justin’s is astronomically more intense, they both use substances. They’re both the funny, playful, ‘dreamboat’ type, hiding their struggles from home.
(Edit: The only night difference is that JJ has much more positive vibes than Justin, if that makes any sense)
...Imagine if Pope’s family adopted JJ, similarly to how Clay’s family adopted Justin.
Justin was not just one of the main characters, he also played his role well done as a role model to all of us. I in-between these episodes and during the final season got much more aware of how important our own process in life is and how we can throughout truly live with all what is bothering us. We are allowed to cry, we are allowed to scream the pain out of our lungs in case and hope that someday, someone will hear us. It is not always easy, no one ever has to expect us to be okay. It is okay not to be okay. We all find ourselves in moments where we keep fighting for the good in us and sometimes people will get rid of them. The will to do things is stronger than to give up, deep down we all know that.
13R is an emotional and throughout inspirational series full of love, pain and overall friendship and people who are living. Society is teaching us some sort of being a perfect character in this somehow broken world we live in. I could imagine even more than 13 Reasons why we are never achieving this massive process of becoming perfect. Life is painful, unexpectedly and even more half alive broken. I figured out during the series, that I am in need to talk. That I can not always be the perfect listener and the role model to anyone. Just as Clay Jensen, I am willing to help, to be there when my friends are the ones who need the help. Friends are the people in life who are holding on to you in every possible way. While watching the process of Justin as it all turned into some sort of horrifying ending, I felt inner freezing as if I am losing a friend I don't knew I have. Justin is my role model in every case I could imagine one and he teaches me to do better and to always see hope.
As Clay Jensen told us during his final speech in the last episode. We all need to keep fighting. It may not always be easy and sometimes we will feel like we can not move on, but even in the baddest times, life can and will be spectacular. Remember this.
In memory of Justin Foley. We mess up. We learn. We get better.
Last night's antidepressant fuelled weird dream: I had to go to some weird uni events to get extra credits. I missed the bus and my mum had to take me there and everything kept going wrong making me more and more late. Then I decided I couldn't go until I brushed my teeth. Being out of the house I ended up brushing my teeth in a weird outdoor sink on the street, then I needed new clothes so I had to buy some which ended up being a white furry jumper with some embroidered sushi on the back. Mum is still angry and I am still very late.
I ended up at the university thing which then for some reason was in the Faroe Islands and then I couldn't find the classroom. Then some girl who looked like the chick from Die Antwoord told me to check the timetable and it was cancelled, but tomorrow we have to go hiking. I decided I would get the credits from hiking instead but then I somehow fell off a wall and hurt my ankle so I couldn't go. Then we were in a classroom and someone had a giant tray of kittens and puppies stuck to a sort of foam where we all had to choose one.
I chose a sort of Siamese fluffy cat who was very friendly but then I was upset because he had a velcro seam down his spine and when I opened him he was full of hard candy. Then for some reason the cat doesn't have a mouth and I was upset because how will I feed him? I asked how do we feed the cat if it doesn't have a mouth and I was told that we don't and they need to go back to the factory to be recharged after a few days. I was upset. Then for some reason I went to a party to feel better.
For some reason at this party I lost my friends but I somehow bumped into Justin Foley from 13 Reasons Why. I told him I thought he was an asshole at first but now I like him and then we made out. For some reason Justin Foley had to leave and I would never see him again then I was upset because I decided I was in love with him. Then somehow I ended up in a weird 24 hour shop being sad to the guy working there and I don't remember anything else.
Bruh wtf is up with me and why is my brain so chaotic.
I feel that every character was so good this season, acting wise. But Brandon Flynn did such a good job on season 2. His acting was amazing and managed to capture the hurt and guilt in Justin. By far my favorite character this season, super good.
