gosh I read that example in The Body Keeps The Score and was like “you seriously expect me to pity this dude? Wtf” aw he killed innocent civilians but yes let’s worry about how that affected *him*

Exactly!!! All the bits in the body keep the score about traumatised vets were just. Lmao who cares. And towards the end he does come to the conclusion that nothing seems to help them and that they're also not the major victims of PTSD but women with sexual abuse and children with abusive parents are yet they get no attention or funding while the VA gets billions and billions. As far as I'm concerned the PTSD in vets is their own personal conscience destroying them

#asks #tocapturemythoughts #like who cares? who the fuck cares.#in usa the PTSD of guantanamo bay torturers gets more attention than the people they hurt so. get fucked.

"But sometimes an ongoing series ends up going where you...didn’t want it to, and it becomes something that’s no longer right for you. " Omg I felt that :| I've loved WCTH since 2016 but after a few eps of season 8 I realised that I just couldn't appreciate it anymore so now I've stopped watching but visit your blog every week to see what happened. Your writeups are detailed and fun to read, thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying this season better <3

Thanks for continuing to stop by and read my write-ups. I’m starting to burn out on them because they take literal hours to write (I mean, sometimes as long as 8 hours to put together), but I’ll continue through to the end of the season because people like you seem to enjoy them. ♥

I’d love to talk sometime about why you stopped watching, and what about S8 didn’t feel right to you! It’s been interesting seeing different perspectives and reasonings from folks who stopped watching. Feel free to hit me up if you’d like! :)

I may be at that point after this season. It’s a shame, too, because I still have characters I care about, and things I want to see, but it’s been really hard over the last few seasons watching this series just...shift and change, and never in the same direction I would have chosen.

Sometimes I blame that on the fact that I’m a writer, a creative type; I’m the sort of person who can’t help but envision all the potential a series has right from the get-go, and imagine what I would do with the series if it was given over to my (capable, if I do say so) hands. WCtH started off SO strong! I bumped through Season 2, felt confident at Season 3, pretty good about Season 4, and then Season 5 took almost everything I loved about the show and beat it to death. Maybe I’ll talk more about that after this season ends (probably in an audio post), but the short version of it is: they took away characters I liked, they made Abigail into one of the most intolerable characters on the show, they committed character assassination with not only Bill, but brought AJ back only to do the same thing with her...and committed at least ten other crimes I can think of right off the top of my head. I’ve stuck around because Seasons 1, (parts of) 2, 3, and 4 were so engaging to me that I couldn’t erase the potential I still saw in the series because of them.

Sure, the show’s gone to hell with makeup everywhere, and weird hairstyles, and gravel all over the road, and convenient plumbing and perfect outfits, but...I could imagine that away if I really had to. It was...forgivable. I still enjoyed myself and still saw that potential.

Maybe all this time I’ve just needed to accept that the series beyond Season 4 just...wasn’t made for me.

Anyway, there are things I like about this season a lot, and I can’t wait to talk about them in more detail after the season ends. But it might be time for me to consider what I want out of the show, and what I’m...most likely to get out of it in the long-term.

Thanks for taking the time to send this message my way. Really appreciate it, and hope to hear from you again soon!

You’ve got me obsessed with Cherik and I’ve barely even seen the first XMen movie and I don’t know if I should thank or curse you lol

At least I haven't convinced you to start reading a 600k unfinished fanfic (yet)

I'm doing a Christmas reread of books I love and Persuasion was first on the list so when I saw that your post on a modern retelling I was beyond THRILLED!!! Actually seeing Wentworth pine on page???My 14 year old self is screaming

haha well I’m still sort of unpacking it to see how plausible my concept is, since I’m realizing the plot of Persuasion doesn’t translate all that neatly to a contemporary setting? the overarching plot yes and of course mary, a hilarious karen, but some of the details (the concussion, convalescing in lyme, basically everything about the economic logistics of marriage) are easier to completely reimagine than they are to accurately reproduce. so we’ll see! but yeah, ultimately a book about a woman who thinks love is behind her and a man who is very upset that he can’t forget her sounds like basically my entire alley. it’s like if dima and masha from One For My Enemy had more misunderstandings but fewer death threats

A very happy new year to you, Olivie!! Thank you for making my 2020 so much better- TCG2 updates were sometimes the only thing I could look forward to life was wearing me down and time made no sense.. Sending my love and best wishes for a beautiful 2021!!

aww thank you I’m very happy to have contributed something to whatever this was. the collective fever dream we all had. in any case it has been a joy and I adore you and next year will be... let’s not set up unrealistic expectations so let’s just say may next year not be exactly the same as this year and see how that turns out for us! happy new year my friend, sending you many good wishes and positive vibes. here’s to having a place to call home and some tenderness from time to time, as we will it so shall it be

I finished writing entrance exams and have free time so YAY finally on my way to binge read Mr Brightside and listen to the Killers (Also, Clara and the Devil was such a fun read when studies got overwhelming so thank you!!)

ooh thank you! @littlechmura will be glad to hear it, as she’s recently started work on the Clara and the Devil sequel! (I have only seen snippets of character studies so far and it is very, very exciting. the devil has some new tricks up their sleeve.) also congratulations on finishing your exams, and welcome to Mr. Brightside! you’re here just in time

The unannounced tenth album release of singer songwriter Taylor Swift was an overnight hit. Midnight Memories is smooth and sensual as it explores the inner workings of the hours after dark. With the opening track Capture My Thoughts, Swift jumps from problem to problem as if this song was a page of her journal, and she couldn’t stay on one topic. The synth-pop dive bar presumably retells the meeting of Swift’s boyfriend Joe Alwyn and herself, picking up where Delicate left off. On another song, silent conversations, Swift tells of the deep love she shares with her partner where they can understand each other without speaking. On the closing track two a.m. Swift concedes that only bad things happen after dark, nothing good happens after two a.m.. Midnight Memories tells stories of true love and heartbreaking loss and all the overwhelming, heartbreaking, joy bringing feelings that come with it. Swift is once again joined by producers Jack Antanoff and Aaron Dessner to produce the marvelous Midnight Memories.
