still working on this ‘fuck a ‘forgive your abuser’ arc’ 3x11/3x12 fix it fic and it’s like 13.5k gd help me
#gav gab#ted lasso spoilers#writing liveblog#I SIMPLY HAVE A LOT TO SAY#i worry it's turning out like....... preachy or Not Characterful or whatever#bc i truly don't want it to just be a psa about why this shit sucks#and i truly don't believe a lot of how that was handled was In Character - AT LEAST NOT THE WAY THEY DID IT#(i can believe ted could make a mistake like that is what i mean but the narrative Did Not frame it as a mistake)#(as something he said because he was clouded by his own baggage - WHICH IS FINE but that is Not how they portrayed it)#(and i believe the other people in jamie's life if they knew that had happened would uh)#(have SOME THINGS to say about it)#(and in general no we will not be endorsing 'being abused made you who you are (positive)' no sir not on my watch)#anyways#i truly am operating by what i think is In Character and an Engaging story to tell#(i.e. it's jamie trying to force himself down the 'forgive your dad or at least Try To you know For You!' path and uh#having a bit of a breakdown because of it)#but i worry it's gonna Come Off Badly yknow#anyways kicks this tag ramble under the couch#i'm writing it anyway because frankly i need it after all of that abuse apologist mess#and i'm continually bothered by a lot of people also saying that the forgiveness thing was Fine and Good but actually contacting james#was where they drew the line#bc im like no that was. also a really fucking shitty thing to have happen#if it had JUST been the 'forgive. For You.' thing? it would still suck#bc that was a very fast interaction with ZERO nuance or awareness of how fucking loaded and brutalizing forgiveness as a concept is#to a LOT of abuse victims/survivors bc of the way it's been weaponized against us#if you mean 'let go and put it down/stop carrying it/be free of it/etc' then say that. forgiveness is just too far gone for me at this point#abuse ment
