Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

While waiting for season 2, fans could satiate their Euphoria cravings by watching two specials that recently aired on HBO Max. One of the best things about the show is definitely Jules. Not only is Hunter Schafer’s character a massive step forward in trans-representation, but the show also didn’t reduce Jules to her gender identity. She’s one of the most likable and complex characters on the show, so it was definitely interesting to see a therapist pick her brain during her special episode, called “F*ck Anyone Who’s Not A Sea Blob.”

Viewers typically experience the narrative from Rue’s point of view, which is by default unreliable. It was really interesting to see just what life was like for Jules during season 1. After watching the special, a lot of things fell into place, for example why she got so drunk at Halloween and how she felt about Rue all along.

10 “I’ve Had A Really Hard Six Months.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

During her therapy session, Jules realized what was pretty obvious to the viewers all along: she had a really hard time adjusting to her new environment. Not only that, but she is also the character with the saddest backstory.

She continued saying that “a bunch of sh*t happened at once” without explicitly telling the therapist about Nate’s blackmailing. She probably doesn’t trust the therapist enough just yet, but hopefully, she will open up in season 2 and bring Nate to justice.

9 “I Think I Want To Be As Beautiful As The Ocean.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

Jules has a beautiful relationship with the ocean. She marvels at its perpetually moving glory and aspires to become as beautiful as the ocean at some point in her life.

Little does she know that she already is, simply by existing and being herself. This quote is memorable on its own but even more so when viewers recall a line Rue delivered in her special episodes about how she feels regarding the ocean.

8 “It Was Just Pure F*cking Imagination.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

The Jules special offered a lot of insight into ways in which Jules thinks. After telling the therapist that sexting with ShyGuy was the best sex she ever had, she explained that “it was just pure f*cking imagination.” And there’s nothing that an Aquarians like Jules loves more than freedom of expression and the power of imagination.

Some fans believe that Jules doesn’t truly love Rue, otherwise she wouldn’t be crushing on her anonymous online friend. This episode beautifully explained why falling for ShyGuy was so easy: it was the ultimate escape from her emotionally messy reality. Judging Jules for that is very short-sighted and counter-productive.

7 “At Least For Me, Being Trans Is Spiritual.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

What’s it like being trans? Jules didn’t spend a lot of time talking about it, as she had bigger fish to fry. Besides mentioning that she’d like to go off her hormones, she described that to her, being trans is spiritual.

Jules explained being trans as something that belongs to her. It’s deeply personal rather than something “religious.” As she put it, it’s about staying alive.

6 ” … Somewhere Along The Way, I Feel Like The Femininity Conquered Me.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

“I feel like my entire life I’ve been trying to conquer femininity, but somewhere along the way, I feel like the femininity conquered me,” Jules told Dr. Mardy Nichols.

She went on to explain what she meant by this profound statement: “Well, most girls when you first talk to them, they like automatically analyze and compare themselves to you, and then you know, they search for where you fit in their hierarchy and then they treat you accordingly,” defining the hierarchy as “how close you are to what they all collectively want to be.” Preach, Jules!

5 “I Think That Gap Was Closing.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

Jules is no stranger to hurting herself, as was made obvious in two episodes of season 1. She slit her wrists open without batting an eye, freaking out Nate and the rest of the party. The therapist asked her whether she thought of hurting herself.

Jules replied that there is a difference between thinking about it and wanting to do it, but as she eloquently put it, “that gap was closing.” Jules put such a complicated mental state into very simple words, hitting the nail right on its head.

4 “Real Life Is Always Such A Letdown.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

Jules shared how she felt about real life – she thought it was always such a letdown. The world in her head, however, was different. Jules explained that it’s easier to talk to people online since you can be more honest, open, and vulnerable. And while Rue had her suspicions about Jules opening up to a stranger online, Jules felt seen and validated.

Jules understands why real life seems like such a letdown to her: it’s because half of every relationship exists solely in her head as a fantasy.

3 “Without The Self-Criticism, I’d Be Lost.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

Those who think that their inner critic is a necessary companion in life probably felt as if Jules was reading their minds when she told the therapist that in her opinion, self-criticism is necessary. Without it, she says she’d be lost.

The therapist suggested that rather than lost, she might be free. She also told her that she is being too hard on herself and that it’s important that she realizes that.

2 “I Feel Like Her Sobriety Is Completely Dependent On How Available I Am To Her.”

Euphoria 10 Most Memorable Quotes From The Jules Special

This quote supports the statement that Rue and Jules are not real friends. The therapist lightly suggested that Jules feels the same way about Rue as she does about her mother: “The same person who saw you, who truly saw you, the same way your mom did when you were a baby, was also incapable of seeing how her addictions affected you.”

Jules carried a burden no person should carry: she felt responsible for Rue’s life, wondering whether she’d relapse if Jules did something as trivial as refusing to sleep over on a weekday.

1 “I Feel Like I’ve Framed My Entire Womanhood Around Men.”

Jules thought a lot about what it means to be a woman and who decides that, which is perfectly summed up in this quote. She felt embarrassed about it and even admitted to struggling from an impostor syndrome, feeling like a fraud.

The truth is that a lot of people frame their womanhood around men and what they think men desire – Maddy and Cassie are glaring examples on the show. Hopefully, Jules will bring this topic of conversation to her friends as well. It’s certainly worth discussing.
