Rue routinely pops her mother’s Xanax and overindulges in drugs and alcohol. The extra focus she had on her breathing triggered panic attacks in class. The medication she took to treat her diagnoses slowed her down throughout her childhood. In the beginning of the episode, Rue tells us she was born three days after the September 11 terror attacks and was diagnosed with an array of mental health issues as a young child. She was sent to rehab for " a good portion of the summer" in the hopes that she would straighten out and was eventually released approximately two months later, a week before her junior year. At her freshman formal, Nate Jacobs attempted to finger her on the dancefloor without her consent.Īt the end of her sophomore year, Rue overdosed and nearly choked to death by her own vomit, falling into a brief coma before being found by her younger sister, Gia Bennett.
EUPHORIA RUE AND JULES HOW TO
Prior to her freshman formal, Rue tried to teach Lexi how to French kiss afterward, when Lexi asked if she felt "really weird" or "uncomfortable", Rue responded in the negative.
She gave four handjobs in eighth grade, two blowjobs in ninth, and lost her virginity while drunk and on Xanax at 15. Rue had her first kiss at the age of 12 with " a boy she didn't really like". While in middle school, Rue was close friends with Maddy, Cassie, Kat, and Lexi (whom Rue was best friends with since preschool.) However following her father's death, Rue seemed to drift apart from the group, with only Lexi remaining fairly close to her. When she visited her father in the hospital, she began to secretly take his medication and, after his death when she was 14, latched on to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism and became a full-blown addict. At age 13, Rue took Oxycontin for the first time via one of his pills. After her father fell ill, she began taking care of him after school due to her mother having to work more. She described this event as " the feeling she had been searching for her entire life" and the first time she had " felt safe in her own head". When Rue was 11, an anxiety attack caused her to be taken to the hospital and given liquid Valium to help her calm down. Despite multiple mental issues, Rue remarked she had a pretty average childhood without any abuse or neglect. This would be leading to an inability to concentrate, persistent anxiety attacks, and constant manic and depressive episodes. Early in her childhood, she was diagnosed with OCD, ADD, generalized anxiety disorder, and possibly bipolar disorder.
Rue Bennett was born on September 14, 2001, three days after the Twin Towers fell. Just that the world moved fast and my brain moved slow. I don't remember much between the ages of 8 and 12. 1.4.1 "Trying to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door".1.3.2 "Fuck Anyone Who's Not a Sea Blob".The tone, again, is a departure from the high-octane thrills of season one, but the quiet leaves space for contemplation, which here is genuinely meaningful. We see nightmarish sequences where Jules is cycling through tall trees or screaming into a dark room, which contrast with the dreamlike bliss of her and Rue blinking awake together. Jules's special stays in the same downcast register as Rue's – it's tough to shoot those dazzling ensemble scenes that Euphoria became famous for when everyone has to stay two metres apart – but it still strays into the fantastical. She goes on to talk about how she could be as broad and deep as the ocean, and how powerful that might feel, her words interspersed with shots of the sea washing over her. The episode challenges traditional cis notions of womanhood, with one especially memorable moment in which she talks about being afraid of puberty, because it meant that "femininity would always be this elusive, distant thing".
