Haven’t been here in a while but I need to vent, whether you disagree with me or not.
The breakup was rough, unnecessary, heartbreaking. I’m not afraid to say Chenford was the reason why I started the show and the reason why it became my whole personality. I fell in love with other characters along the way, sure, but I watch the show for them.
So for the show to break them up was just so sad for me because this was my first time watching a season live.
Took me weeks to come to terms with it and once I did, I’m actually kind of okay with the fact that it happened.
I wasn’t going to stop watching the show because they broke up, or say they ruined years of character development because none of Tim’s traumas have ever been resolved. They brush over them and move on to the next plot. It was, in Tim’s twisted mind, an act of love to let her go.
That being said, what worried me the most was the way they were going to handle it. If they already took this massive risk with (lets be real) their main couple, they have to fix it in a substantial way.
Did I want a kiss, a hug, an acknowledgment that they will make their way back to each other in this episode? Sure, who didn’t.
But I actually like the way they did it.
His look of realization during the truck scene that no matter in what capacity, she’s going to show up and be his partner. The way he spoke to her in the shop, admitting that he took her advice and is going to therapy is the conversation we were hoping for. Lets not talk about “freak in the sheets” because that would take me another lengthy post to discuss.
And that final elevator scene left so much to be hopeful for. Its an apology, a raw display of emotion that he is grateful for her. That she saved him and she deserves that recognition. That he wants to make it up to her but its still leaving the ball in her court. Its her move next, her decision, her choice, in whatever small doses she will allow.
Anyways, sorry for my rant, I just feel nostalgic, because we don’t get them back for 8 months, but I’m excited to see where they take things from here.
Also if you haven’t had a chance yet, read this interview https://t.co/sqGIDyJDxb , its so hopeful and it shows how much Mel and Eric care about their characters.
My last self portrait before top surgery next week, I deemed this appropriate using the Blackest Black acrylic (Black 3.0) while playing into the contrasts. The pink oils and the brilliant gold stand out amongst the void like darkness that surround the figures. This was a very vulnerable piece that I am still bracing myself to share. Coming to terms with my body now, before it is altered to be what I’ve always wanted, is very peaceful. It’s a mutual understanding with my past. Letting go of her but not saying goodbye. She’s not dead, so I’m not going to mourn her. She’s with me through it all and I hope she’s proud of me.
days like this are really hard & the religious trauma do be Like That. that feeling of missing something that meant a lot to you at one time and recognizing the nuances of the good and bad of what you grew up knowing is messy to deal with and fucking sucks especially knowing people who once loved and cared for you would be disappointed in the person you’ve become.
anyways. this is a vent post from an ex religious queer girly going through it on easter sunday so do feel free to scroll past but if you’re in the same boat and this resonated with you, i’m hugging you real tight and offering a safe place to feel all the emotions that days like this can bring
fall guy brain rot time !!!!!!! i was wondering why i enjoyed this more than free guy despite me thinking objectively free guy's plot has less holes in it so i do consider the plot objectively better, but then i realized like fall guy just feels so much more sincere to me. every aspect of it is coated in this love for film and tv making and the medium as a whole
idk. picky eater rights. im coming to your events and turning my picky bitch nose up at your fancy ass desserts you spent a bajillion hours working over in the kitchen and asking if i can find like a basic ass brownie with no extra flairs or ingredients or steps or whatever the fuck. cry about it. stop trying to feed me
i will attempt to write a few info about the characters and perhaps make rules and pinned better than what they are now, and a taglist wouldn't hurt ( even if i'm starting to be very sleepy, damn it... ), but in the meantime, behold.
not to be like dramatic or mentally ill about it, but having to say goodbye to succession this year is actually more emotional than I thought it would be. I started the show thinking “oh, rich white people going through shit-that’s funny!” but oh man did I underestimate it.
I didn’t expect it to hit so hard and just be so, SO brilliantly done. Every single person that works on that show gives their all and it is evident in every moment. I joke a lot about the emotional turmoil it’s put me through, forcing me to confront my own internal and external issues, relating to these absolutely insane characters and hating them at the same time. I wish I wasn’t so dramatic in saying that a lot of the art that has changed me has come at very important times in my life and succession was the most surprising but I’m actually genuinely so grateful.
anyway. all this to say, I’m actually really sad to see it end so soon? even though we can all agree it should definitely end sooner rather than later, for a proper send off. it changed me in ways that still shock me to the core while also still being able to laugh at the absolute nonsense of the central storyline. so if anyone needs me on march 26 I’ll be
