The Fosters : Family.Love.Brandon.




It’s not about where you come from. It’s about where you belong.” #TheFosters 

The Fosters is centered on Callie,a 16 yr old girl who got sent to Juvie because she finally stood up to her abusive step father after watching him beat the crap out of her younger brother Jude,namely by baseballing   ( yes, thrashing with a baseball should be a verb now) his car. She is taken in by school principal Lena and her partner Stef, a gay couple.With a couple of children.Couple of children meaning -Stef's biological son Brandon ,two adopted twins - Jesus and Mariana . And by the end of the episode Callie . And Jude . So yeah, full house .



So she's all like




And their all like *AWKWARD*





Initially i was kinda on the fence about this show,i watched the promo a couple of weeks ago and was all "too dark,too depressing" but then one extremely boring afternoon when i had nothing better to do,i gave in.And thank god i did.This little show is a gem about familial relationships ,all kinds of them - the dysfunctional ones,the traditional ones and the  diverse - but- they-still- fit- together- like- a- puzzle ones.Yes,they exist.And yes,they are called the Fosters.

Characters :
1. Lena : Kind , sensitive , patient ,loving, basically a marshmallow. An adorable marshmallow at that.

2. Stef : Tough, smart, strong,a total badass .


   * ya honey i know,we have too many kids*



3. Callie: The kid from the wrong side of the tracks , makes her way slowly and steadily into your hearts.She  made quite the impact on me , considering she only had about 5 dialogues in the last 3 episodes excluding her conversations with a certain guy




*How adorable do i look when i smile *


Which brings us to :



4. BRANDON : Yes,his name is in caps.On purpose. Why u ask ? Just cuz he is the most adorable thing ever. He plays piano ,could totally be a jock if he wanted to ,while also rocking the i'm so sensitive i'll miss my piano competition that could win me a scholarship to save your little brother from your psychotic step father kinda vibe .Yes i love him.I could go on but well <3 <3 <3




P.S : In my defense i did not make this collage , so clearly there r other people who feel the same way abt this guy. . .


OK . Next.

5. Jesus : He has ADD. And a crush on his sister's best friend.DRAMA.

And he  takes the blame for his sister selling his pills to her friends to give money to their junkie step mother. Did i mention DRAMA ( which basically just translates to FUN)




6.Mariana : Comes across as sort of  bitchy at first but starts to grow on you. Sort of lacks a back bone.So no i don't love her yet, but i hold out hope.

7. Lexi : Mariana's best friend,Jesus's secret make out buddy ( girlfriend ? I don't knw. . . )

8. Mark? : I think his name was Mark or something really close to that . Anyways he's Stef's ex husband . And needless to say there is no love lost between him and Lena.

Why you should watch :

* Callie and Brandon's chemistry is crackling.





His piano + her guitar = prettiest musical duo ever






* So is Jesus's and Lexi's ( besides her name is Lexi which makes me love her already (shout out to Lexi Grey)





*Jude - because well LOOK
Jude
#That Smile






















*  BRANDON

*   BRANDON

* I have seen 3 episodes so far and it  included -  Breach of school policy(by  the principal,several students),  amazing music, jealous girlfriend ,sneaky brother , psychotic step father, junkie biological mother,guns, drugs .You get the idea.On a serious note,this show is one of the most realistic high school kids based show i have ever seen. Plus the characters will crawl into your heart and refuse to leave.

* Ohhh did i mention BRANDON ?

So basically u gotta watch this show ,NOW


PEACE OUT
