Euphoria season 2 has captured the attention of an incredibly large fan base that can't quite stop talking about the newest installation of the HBO hit show. From Redditors predicting what will happen next to fans recreating iconic season 2 makeup looks, there is a lot of social media discourse.
One social media platform that has seen a lot of engagement has been TikTok. Fans of the show have been flooding the Euphoria hashtag with lots of different videos having to do with season 2, and some of them are must-sees for dedicated views.
Recreating Fan-Favorite Scenes
TikTok creator @julianburzynski is well-known for his amazing scene recreations from a myriad of different films. He's delivered on much-loved and relatable Clueless scenes that still hold up today, as well as the famous courtroom scene from Legally Blonde. His acting is as phenomenal as his wigs and costumes--no one outshines him in production value.
As season 2 of Euphoria has been airing, Julian has taken it upon himself to don Maddy, Rue, Cassie, Nate, and Kat costumes in order to recreate some of the most-viewed scenes of the season. In particular, his recreation of the jacuzzi scene on Maddy's birthday garnered 11.6 million views.
Cocktails Inspired By The Characters
Fans have really flexed their creative muscles when it comes to showing appreciation for Euphoria's second season. One TikTok user even created custom cocktails that they thought best represented each of the main characters of the show.
@yellowbellykelly on TikTok specializes in making fun and fresh mixed drinks, using themes such as holidays, seasons, or even zodiac signs. For their first delve into Euphoria-inspired drinks, they created The Maddy Perez, a tequila-based, vibrant, and shimmering libation. Next, they created a strawberry lemonade and peach vodka drink called The Jules Vaughn.
Pointing Out Inconsistencies
Another thing that Euphoria fans have been very vocal about on TikTok is the many inconsistencies and vanished plotlines that never carried over from the first season into the second. As fans know, there was a lot of drama in the first season, but some entire storylines and character relationships are nowhere to be found.
Some heartbreaking things have happened this season with new plot points, but as TikToker @fabrangoon says in a video they created, there are countless things from season 1 that haven't even been addressed yet, like Jules and Nate's relationship, McKay's entire character, or Kat's online kittenkween persona.
"Walmart Version" Episode Recaps
On the other spectrum of Julian Burzynski's top-tier production is @skyebby37 and their "Walmart Version" of episode 4. The video is hilarious in a completely different way. From Hayley's very relaxed costumes to her vague dialogue of scenes, the video somehow perfectly communicates the broad strokes of the episode.
Anyone who's not felt like reading a book or watching a movie has experienced checking out the Clif Notes website for general summaries of what happened, and this is exactly like that--but much funnier and with great mini-scenes.
A Great Vine Reference
Scenes between Cassie and Nate are a hot topic within the fan community on TikTok, but one fan, specifically, noticed something when they watched Nate yelling at Cassie in his bedroom in episode 4. Their hilarious realization went viral and quickly accumulated 1.1 million views on the app.
@ada_053 made an amazing comparison between Nate bending his legs and yelling and one of the most iconic Vines from creator Nick Coletti impersonating a frat bro. The similarity between the two videos is both strong and outrageously funny.
Season 2 Hairstyles On Curly Hair
Euphoria boasts some of the most innovative costuming, makeup, and hairstyles of any show, making the cast some of the most stylish characters around. As a result, fans love recreating their favorite looks and uploading them to social media sites like TikTok.
Because hairstyles and makeup looks aren't always made with diversity and representation in mind, some fans have taken to the internet to give new diverse life to some of the looks in season 2. @ashleeswest, for example, took one of Cassie's many hairstyles in episode 3 and translated it onto curly hair. The result was absolutely beautiful.
Nate And Cassie Car Ride At Disney
Season 2 started off strong with the drama when Cassie decided to get a ride to the New Year's Eve party with Nate and things got sexual fast. Many fans have recreated the driving scene between Nate and Cassie, with Nate drinking and going a ridiculous 102 miles per hour while Cassie hangs half her body out the car window.
One of the best fan versions of the infamous scene, however, was captured on @nataliehunttt's TikTok page and went completely viral. Natalie and her "Nate" went to Disney World and proceeded to recreate the car ride scene on all of the major rides, including Big Thunder Mountain, Alien Swirling Saucers, and even the Peoplemover.
Women Who Could Destroy Nate Jacobs
Nate Jacobs is one of the most hated characters on Euphoria. It's for good reason, as Nate has done some pretty awful things so far and there are still a few episodes to go. Even though Nate has terrorized some of the young women of Euphoria TikToker @jennytuell14 firmly believes that if he were to encounter some other fictional ladies, he wouldn't get off so easily.
By popular demand, the TikTok video became a multi-part series of "Women Who Could Destroy Nate Jacobs," with iconic selections like Paris Geller, Elle Woods, and Blair Waldorf. The series is an awesome testament to some truly bad*** female characters who wouldn't put up with Nate's sketchy behavior.
Forgetting You Go To Euphoria High School
Even fans of the show admit that there are definitely some logistical flaws in the way that the teens of Euphoria live their everyday lives. For starters, they're routinely out partying, sneaking out, and generally being unsupervised. Even more confusingly, though, is that they're wearing designer clothes in high school that are completely dress code inappropriate--and usually not paired with a backpack.
To poke fun at this, it became a trend on TikTok for creators to come out on screen in normal school clothes, only to go change into skimpy outfits and tiny clutches under the caption, "When You Remember You Go To Euphoria High School." One of the best versions of this trend came from @grandpabeppa, an absolute gem of comedy who calls all of his followers his grandchildren.
Euphoria Season 2 Sims
There are a lot of ways that fans think outside of the box when expressing their love for a franchise or series. One trend that's popped up here and there has been creating "houses" of Sims inspired by favorite fictional characters. When it comes to Euphoria, one TikToker got the season 2 cast scarily accurate.
Sometimes Sims bear a general resemblance to the fictional character that they're based on. But @whoisralita went above and beyond with their designs. They were able to capture the exact likeness of almost every main character with seriously impressive accuracy.
