IVES' 3K FOLLOWER CELEBRATION 🧃 + tori spring for @antoniosvivaldi 💙

#heartstopper #c: tori spring #queue are to me.

what if each episode of season 4 was 90 minutes and spanned 2ish months, leading them up to opening night (07) and ricky/kourtney/maddox graduation (08). they don't get approval for the fall musical right from the get-go because of the movie. so they prep for spring throughout the year while dealing with (actual!) doc fallout and filming and stressors of all kinds.

#ricky and gina's 'fight' happens not at halloween but when quinn offers her r&j. #big red comes back and has to actually deal with the consequences of his actions. #ej comes back twice; the second time far happier a person than the first. #kourtney refuses to get senioritis (hilarious parallels to r/m antics). jet actually gets his head out of his ass and asks her out. #maddox makes friends! real friends! and we get to see her and ash actually be a couple! #there's actual confrontation > reconcilliation between g/r's moms and them. nini comes back at the end for one last finale (maybe over text #but she is there) #we see homecoming and prom and a glimpse into some of their non-theater interests. we see their friendships #AND their individual arcs. without sacrificing either. #everyone is fine <3

Leitmotifs drive me insane, like I hear *repeated melody that has an association with a person, idea, or situation* and I go *tears up the fucking rug like a dog*

I guess what I think is that suicide is a symptom of a problem and not the problem to fix, you know what I mean? To stop suicides you have to stop people’s mental health from getting to the point where they consider it, you have to treat the disease, trying to treat the symptom itself is almost completely useless.

For instance, Japan has spent a great deal of money on anti-suicide infrastructure, doing genuinely cartoonishly things like putting rollers on bridge railings so you can’t climb over them and slide right off, putting blue lights in the subway so it’s harder to see to throw yourself in front of a train. It’s not working. Japan’s suicide rate rose again in 2022. They are not addressing the root causes and stressors in their citizen’s lives and social barriers to mental health care and psychiatric medication.

It’s the same with universities in America, many have spent an exorbitant amount of money on turning their dorms into psych ward like environments. Anti-hanging chairs that you can’t stand on, bunks you can’t hang yourself from, slanted doorknobs etc. And yet suicide is still the second leading cause of death for college students. They make no attempts to make college easier, to make pausing and resuming your studies better, to make the pressure of an academic environment feel less life or death. They make no accommodations for the individual. They just make it a little harder to hang yourself in a few rooms on campus and call it a day, say they’re being proactive in terms of mental health.

You are allowed to exist alone in public btw. You're allowed to go to the movies alone and go out to eat alone and hang out in a park alone and go for a walk alone and whatever else. It isn't weird or creepy, it doesn't make you lonely or a loser or whatever. You are allowed to just exist as yourself.
