Alright, let's talk about Euphoria. We all love the drama, the fashion, the sheer intensity of it all. But there's one character whose story we're all really rooting for to get its full, glorious moment: Jules Vaughn.
Jules, played by the incredibly talented Hunter Schafer, is a whirlwind of creativity and vulnerability. She’s the artist, the dreamer, the one who sees the world in vibrant colors even when things are bleak. She's navigating that tricky, beautiful, and sometimes painful path of self-discovery, especially when it comes to her gender identity and her complicated relationship with Rue.
We’ve seen Jules go through so much. Her journey of transitioning is handled with such grace and authenticity, which is a big reason why so many people connect with her. She’s brave enough to be herself, even when it’s hard. And her art? It’s a whole other level of amazing. It’s how she expresses herself, how she processes the world, and it’s just so cool to watch.
Her artistic talent is a HUGE part of what makes Jules so special. It’s not just a hobby; it's her language.
But let’s be honest, the whole Rue and Jules saga has been a rollercoaster, hasn't it? We adore their connection, that intense, almost magnetic pull they have towards each other. It’s the kind of love that feels huge and all-consuming, the kind you write poetry about. But it’s also been fraught with miscommunication and painful moments. For Season 3, it feels like it’s time to give their story a chance to breathe and maybe, just maybe, find a healthier rhythm.
One of the biggest opportunities for Season 3 is to really explore Jules's life outside of her relationship with Rue. While Rue is central to her story, Jules has so many other facets. We’ve seen glimpses of her navigating friendships, her family situation (which is always a bit touch-and-go, let’s face it), and her own personal aspirations. Imagine a season where we get to see Jules shine on her own terms, building her own community and chasing her artistic dreams with laser focus.
Think about it: Jules could be interning at a cool art gallery, developing her own photography projects, or even teaching art to younger kids. Giving her these independent storylines would be super empowering. It would show that her happiness and her growth aren't solely dependent on anyone else, not even on Rue. This doesn't mean the Rue and Jules connection disappears, but it would allow it to be a part of her life, rather than the entirety of it.

And what about her relationships with other characters? We’ve seen her interact with the other girls, like Kat and Maddy, but there's so much more potential there. Imagine Jules forming deeper, more supportive friendships with them. Perhaps they could bond over shared experiences of navigating high school and the pressures that come with it. Or maybe Jules could find unexpected camaraderie with someone new entirely, someone who sees her and supports her in a different way than Rue can.
New friendships could bring fresh perspectives and even more exciting drama!
Another area that could be really compelling is delving deeper into Jules's past and her family. We know her mom has struggled, and that’s a heavy burden for anyone to carry. Season 3 could offer some resolution or at least some understanding of how those experiences have shaped Jules. Showing her actively working through those past traumas, perhaps with the help of a therapist (yes, therapy storylines can be gold!), would be incredibly powerful and relatable.
And let’s not forget her artistic journey! We’ve seen glimpses of her incredible talent, but what if Season 3 made her art a central driving force? Imagine her working on a major art project that challenges her, pushes her boundaries, and ultimately defines a new chapter for her. This could be a solo exhibition, a collaborative piece, or even something that uses her art to address social issues. The visual potential alone is mind-blowing!
The show has always been good at tackling complex themes. For Jules, that could mean exploring the nuances of queer relationships in a more mature light. Moving beyond the intense push-and-pull with Rue and showing a more stable, communicative, and mutually respectful romantic connection would be a beautiful evolution. It would prove that healthy relationships are possible, even in the chaotic world of Euphoria.
Ultimately, fixing Jules’s story in Season 3 is all about giving her agency. It’s about letting her be the protagonist of her own narrative, not just a co-star in someone else’s. When Jules has the space to explore her passions, nurture her friendships, heal from her past, and build healthy relationships, that’s when her story will truly soar. And honestly, we can't wait to see it happen. It's what makes Euphoria so captivating – the raw, honest, and sometimes messy journeys of characters like Jules, who remind us of our own struggles and triumphs.
So, here's to a Season 3 where Jules isn't just figuring things out, but where she's truly living and thriving. It’s what she deserves, and it's what we're all tuning in to see!
