it'd be really fucking nice to just feel and like things a normal amount. but nooooo my neurodivergent ass really gotta just fall madly and obsessively in love with fictional characters and then have unhealthy levels of emotions over them and how fucked up and sad their lives are

#currently having unhealthy levels of FEELINGS about: #mako from Legend of Korra #Benjamin Ovich #(from beartown) #and #Brian Lackey #(from Mysterious Skin) #yes literally all of them at the same time #and another character too but i don't feel like putting it here because people will give me crap for liking it #but yes #im literally having an emotional meltdown over four separate fictional characters #and no one will scream about them with me currently #dfafdasafd #Mako LOK #Benji Ovich #Beartown #LOK #Mysterious Skin #not bears

Beartown series - first & last lines

Beartown pg. 1 Late one evening toward the end of March, a teenager picked up a double-barreled shotgun, walked into the forest, put the gun to someone else's forehead, and pulled the trigger. This is the story of how we got there. pg. 415 Because people recognize the bear around here. Cherry trees always smell of cherry trees. They do that in hockey towns. Us Against You pg. 1 Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did. We'll end up saying that violence came to Beartown this summer, but that will be a lie; the violence was already here. Because sometimes hating one another is so easy that it seems incomprehensible that we ever do anything else. pg. 434 Because it's a simple game if you strip away all the crap surrounding it and just keep the things that made us love it in the first place. Everyone gets a stick. Two nets. Two teams. Us against you. The Winners pg. 1 Everyone who knew Benjamin Ovich, particularly those of us who knew him well enough to call him Benji, probably knew deep down that he was never the sort of person who would get a happy ending. pg. 670 One day she will make us feel like winners again. Because she's the bear. The bear from Beartown.

Fredrick Backman casually figured out the meaning of life actually. He’s got it down. Read his books. Watch as this nice old man deconstructs human behavior time and time again in a harrowing yet hopeful way.

why does anyone care about hockey? perhaps that depends on who you are — beartown

Can't believe I got into this show so late, but it has my whole heart. Thank you for creating this page! Any other suggestions of kicks Nordic shows with English subs?

If you liked the clip format, NRK did a couple of other shows like it.

In Blank, the characters are a little bit older, and are struggling with what to do now that high school is over and they have to take charge of their own lives. You can watch it over at @nooraiskind.

They also made Lovleg, which takes place at a rural school in Western Norway, where all the kids are living on their own. You can watch that over at @lovlegskada.

On the Swedish side there's Eagles, a teen drama about high school kids and their families around the local junior hockey team in Oskarshamn. I think you can still find all the episodes over at @eagles-translated.

Staying with the hockey theme, but much more depressing, there's Beartown. I think it's available on Amazon Prime Video.

I assume you've watched Young Royals, but on the off chance you haven't, that's worth a watch as well. It's on Netflix, and final season premieres on Monday. MONDAY!!! AAAAHHH!!! I'M SO EXCITED!

i don't think i've ever felt more single than when fredrik backman said “he was a man of black and white. and she was colour. all the colour he had” like how i am supposed to get over that

ohhhh shut up the way benji ovich literally gives and gives and gives and no one recognizes it because they refuse to look deeper or because he doesn't let them. its interchangeable tbh. the way he destroys the rest of the bathroom for maya. the way he gives her his and k/vin's island. i will never be quiet about him

#i love benji ovich #HATE fredrik backman though. hes too good of an author #benji ovich #beartown #us against you #the winners #beartown hbo #bjornstad
