You could draw some very interesting parallels between Grimsley and Caitlin and i think it's a shame i haven't personally seen anyone point them out.

Max overanalyzing pokemon characters under the cut

Firstly looking at the dialogue in "A Day With Grimsley" in Pokémon Masters:

He speaks about growing up in his family's estate, an environment where although he was living a very expensive and lavish lifestyle, he couldn't let his guard down around others. A situation where despite being an actual child he had to act very logically at all times.

And then, comparing that to Caitlin's dialogue in "A Day With Caitlin" also in Pokémon Masters:

The context is different but Caitlin describes an experience that could definitely be seen as similar. Spending her youth quite literally living in a castle with her own butler, and yet she was made to repress her emotions. Something that she mentions making her feel numb and struggle to enjoy life when she entered adulthood in the same Sync Story.

I find it very interesting that these two characters, both part of the Unova Elite Four have these similarities to eachother. And i definitely think you could use these similar experiences to highlight both how they each cope with their respective challenges that came from their childhood. Where as Caitlin seems to have found a support system and is working on unlearning that, Grimsley falls into paranoia and an addiction to gambling.

☕️the most egregious problem The Flash has is that it literally NEVER ADDRESSES ANY of the trauma it consistently puts Barry and co through, like it has other problems but I think that's the worst lol

1000000% and I will die mad about it.

Since it’s (always) on my mind, let’s take season 2 for example shall we?

If I had a nickel for everytime Post-Zoom-trauma just disappeared at the drop of a hat, I’d have four nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s fucking INFURIATING THAT IT HAPPENED F O U R TIMES

The four (for lack of a better word) victims in question: Caitlin, Barry, Jesse, and Jay.

Caitlin: kidnapped and held against her will for (I believe) two weeks (that’s putting it simply but we’ve all seen the show so🤷‍♀️). The show gives her one single episode to deal with it, during which she shows very real symptoms of PTSD— solved and therefore ignored and glossed over entirely with a single pep talk. I would also like to add that she showed NO fear of him in the season finale which makes no fucking sense with what the show established only an episode earlier. But tbh, this is the best one because at least the show ACKNOWLEDGED that trauma; if only for one episode.

Barry: Back broken during first encounter (among other severe injuries), humiliated by being dragged around the city to show he wasn’t strong enough to stop Zoom, confidence shattered from the experience. Like Caitlin, we got one episode to deal with this trauma and in that episode, Barry also showed signs and symptoms of PTSD (the entire season is evidence tbh). But of course, one pep talk from his dad and everything’s magically ok :-D !!!!!! I’m going to eat glass (also I will definitely make a post on that fucking episode because I hate it). As mentioned; he continues to have PTSD symptoms throughout the season but it’s glossed over so much and attributed to generic-superhero-stuff™️ that it really doesn’t matter. Gods, I could go on all day about Barry’s post-Zoom AND post-Thawne trauma. (Oh, he was also kidnapped, threatened, and {borderline} tortured by Zoom in the Earth-2 episodes; but that’s all normal superhero stuff ofc so it doesn’t matter right :-D !!! gnawing at the bars of my enclosure)

Jesse: Good gods where do I even start. Kidnapped by a known serial killer, tortured by said serial killer, repeatedly and (probably) constantly threatened with death, and held captive for around 9-10 months. Mm also, she was clearly terrified of Zoom every time he showed up prior to her rescue. Sounds like an extremely traumatic experience with multiple opportunities and instances to develop PTSD right? WRONG! According to the lovely writers; people are completely fine after a traumatic experience is over! What’s PTSD??? chewing glass chewing glass chewing glass. They didn’t even TRY with her, at least with Barry and Caitlin they pretended to give a shit about what they went through but Jesse makes two things crystal clear. 1) The writers don’t care about your trauma unless you’re an MC. 2) The writers put minimal effort into trauma if any; MC or not. It’s like they said ‘Ooo, we should have Caitlin kidnapped by Zoom!’ ‘Won’t that have some sort of effect on her? Being kidnapped is a terrifying experience’ ‘Ah fuck you’re right… eh, we’ll give her one episode ig’ ‘What about Jesse?’ ‘Who?’

Jay: Fucking. Hell. I ordered this in what I consider best handled to worst. Jay is by far— handled worst. Let’s see here *checks notes* Ah yes. Kidnapped and taken to a completely different Earth, an attempted theft of his powers, imprisoned and put in a mask so he can’t speak, {not confirmed but very likely with Zoom’s track record and somewhat implied} tortured, had his identity stolen and {likely} mocked and tormented about the subject, and the ~delightful~ cherry on top— held captive in this situation for at least one year. Fuck I’m so tired. Anyways; there’s not much to say. He got rescued (off-screen ofc), was able to access his powers instantly with no problems, and left to go back to his Earth. Trauma? What trauma? *gestures wildly at said trauma posted above* That’s not traumatic at all! *screams* I don’t care how much experience you have as a superhero— that doesn’t just GO AWAY! PTSD, FLASH WRITERS. LOOK INTO IT P L E A S E fuck I just remembered the show is over now ALL YOUR MC’S HAVE IT! EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Sigh. In the end of *gestures at said trauma* all that, Jay was just used to cause Barry more greif from his father’s death. Obviously he gets roles in later seasons but (as far as I can remember) this whole thing was never brought up again. Sigh.

I COULD GO ON

I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS

but I won’t cause dear gods I’ve been typing forever now

#wow #that got long #anyways: you are absolutely correct and thank you for saying it #the flash #the flash trauma #the flash and trauma #post zoom trauma #caitlin snow #barry allen #jesse wells #jay garrick #the flash season 2 #tbh I almost wonder if the writers were trying to gloss over Zoom a bit. like. the realized what a monster that character truly was and #didn’t want to deal with the consequences of everything he did #cause they touched on /some/ post-Thawne trauma. #just a thought #asks #☕️ ask game #vexic #thank you for the ask and sorry for the ramble lmao

hey hi this might just be my obsession with her but hey. what happened to caitlin's screentime. i miss her. i miss when she had relevant plot and the writers cared about her and didn't just show up to say some science exposition then disappear for another two episodes.

i thought she was one of the main characters. LIKE SHE IS. it just feels like they forgot almost every plot point they have with her until the next caitlin centric episode. whcih gets more and more sparse each season.

s6 was actually brutal, she had virtually no screentime or episodes, it was all about frost, which i get that they wanted to do something different, but caitlin shouldn't have been completely pushed aside. like, i feel like after s4, they didn't know what to do with caitlin. if she doesn't have a love interest or her storyline with frost, they have no idea what to do with her plot.

so they don't include her at all.

WHICH PISSES ME OFF? BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH. SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR CAITLIN STORYLINES THAT DON'T INCLUDE FROST.

those brief, beautiful moments where she gets a chance to shine or have her angst, like when the flashbacks showed her getting fucking run over??? by her dad?? which she repressed for 20 years??? and that's not good plot material for the writers??

in 7x08, when caitlin just breaks down because she doesn't want to live a life without frost?? 2x22 when caitlin thinks she sees jay everywhere and is terrified?

they have an actual goldmine of a character with built-up plot and lore and angst and personality and she's literally my favourite flash character ever and they just. push her aside.

they have deleted scenes of really good caitlin stuff with danielle acting her ass off and they just scrap it because hey we actually wanna see more of another wells or cecile or allegra or whoever they decide to focus on today :3

guys i promised myself this wouldn't be an anti-flash rant, istg im just so sad. i love caitlin. i love frost. i love their storylines.

it just sucks the show doesn't seem to think they matter.

#sorry for the ramble im just- #ugh first time flash watcher feeling fr #like the things they could have done with “i dont think ill ever be whole again” #with “youve got your happy ending everyone else be damned” #with “if i let myself feel all that pain and let that anger out its never gonna stop” #with “im the one whos turning evil” #the whole e-1 kf and caitlin scene when they were trapped together #the amount of fics and headcanons and absolute GUT wrenching analysis's i made for caitlin back in her s2 state #fandom rant #mine #caitlin snow #killer frost #the flash #when your fave character gets done dirty URGGGGHH #flash critical #? #cw the flash #dont get me started on danielle saying she wanted caitlin to date women #arrowverse

[killervibe]

do you ever think about the fact, in the grand scheme of things, Caitlin DIED because Cisco left? She fell apart after the whole frost death saga and nobody was able to prevent her from getting off the mad scientist train /ronnie resurrection fakeout freakout because nobody was left who understood how to help her or even was enough for her to want to keep going like ??? Cisco always talked about how he needed Caitlin in his life because she was a home to him but in the narrative of the story, it’s Caitlin who always needed Cisco. Without him they LITERALLY wrote that she lost her humanity like ??? I’m baffled. Not to mention it was Cisco who pushed Caitlin to pursue her father and unlocked her memories that triggered the emergence of “Khione” in the first place.  

This is the best takeaway I can come up with for the whole khione development okay leave me alone.

Killing Cisco was unnecessary.

On the day that wasn't, Eobard was at Jitters with Caitlin when he decided to run back to STAR Labs to check on Cisco. In doing so, he left his wheelchair behind for Caitlin to see.

And, sure, maybe he had a plan for that. To claim he was kidnapped or something, but... Cisco had shared his suspicions with Caitlin. And Caitlin looks back at their table while waiting for their drinks only to find no Harrison Wells, but the wheelchair left behind. In a packed coffee shop. And no one saw the man in the wheelchair leave without his wheelchair?

His cover is blown. It's over. One way or another, Team Flash knows Harrison Wells is with the bad guy, if not the Reverse Flash himself.

Which means that Eobard didn't need to kill Cisco. Doing so would not keep his secret.

It only makes sense if he thought Cisco might call Barry before time reset and Eobard knew that because Barry saw that echo of himself earlier that time was absolutely going to reset. But even then, Eobard left Caitlin at the cafe with his now empty wheelchair. And since he did not kill her, he had no way to be certain that she wouldn't tell Barry. So, again... killing Cisco was entirely unnecessary. All he really needed to do was keep both Cisco and Caitlin quiet until time reset. Which, given his experience with different kinds of time travel, he had to realize wasn't going to be much longer.

And yet still, that dramatic asshole killed Cisco.

Quite frankly, he got lucky that Caitlin didn't tell Barry about him before the time loop set in. And if there hadn't been a loop then Eobard would have had to live with the fact that he killed the young man he claimed to love like a son... for no reason at all. And he likely wouldn't have cared.

Epilepticon Movie Marathon 2023

Degrassi Junior High (1987) (Stage Fright) dir. John Bertram

Summary: Coming back from vacation with a brand-new epilepsy diagnosis, Caitlin Ryan struggles to keep her seizures under control while trying out for the school play.

Representation: Caitlin is notable for being one of the first main characters of a tv show to have epilepsy. She isn't a one-off character who's only in a "very special episode" and then never mentioned again. She's part of the main cast and her epilepsy is brought up in later episodes.

Caitlin has several absence seizures throughout the episode. She also has a tonic clonic seizure while at a slumber party with her friends, right as they are holding a séance to summon spirits. We briefly see from her perspective what her vision is like before having a seizure, which is intense double-vision.

When she has the tonic clonic seizure, her friends, unaware she has epilepsy, briefly think she is joking before leaping into action to provide first aid. They quickly go over several aspects about seizure first aid such as not placing things in people's mouth and not holding the person when they have a seizure. One girl turns Caitlin to her side and places a pillow under her head while she is having a seizure, which is great first aid procedure.

The episode briefly addresses the myth that epilepsy is contagious, stating that it is in no way contagious to others.

Caitlin talks about how horrified she is that she might look "gross" to her friends because of her seizures and is shown to be worried about how her future may be negatively impacted by epilepsy.

Been seeing a post about dogwhistles (specifically about the use of Zionist) popping up on my dash lately. The language used made me suspicious. I check OP’s blog & immediately find posts denying Hamas raping women & telling Je- sorry, Zionists to quit whining about October 7th.

Person writing about why dogwhistles are bad RBs posts full of dogwhistles. You can���t make this up.
