#What about solidarity is not understood jfc

I swear you're the only exvangelical I've met who's actually sympathetic about our experiences weird toxic atheism we was raised under, I've had so many tell me my parents were just trying to protect us??? Which like Maybe So but it was a severe overcorrection

Jesus, that's a sad thing to hear. Not unsurprising, but that makes it more sad.

Toxic religion LOVES trying to protect people! That's part of what makes it toxic! If it's doing it for the greater good, how can it possibly cause problems? All they're doing is thinking of their wellbeing!

"Wellbeing" is a word that means, here, "the method which works for me".

It doesn't matter what it is for creed, it matters what is done, realistically, to children when raised in a toxic religious environment. Everyone says they're thinking of the children. They say that instead of thinking of the children, actually. They don't engage with kids, they don't try to understand the effect it has on them, they just stick to the company line, and it hurts people.

It's an absolute fucking clownshoes of a way to raise kids. They need to have their actual needs and wants addressed, not to be tasked with something as complex and painful as trying to understand religion--that's not to say kids can't be religious, or that raising kids religious is inherently bad, but that going "This is what we believe so deal with it" without room for discussion or discourse is just...cruel. A six year old is not remotely equipped to try to carry that on their own.

I'm so sorry you grew up in a toxic religious sphere <\3 I'm sorrier that people are apparently assholes about it! That has to be all kinds of devaluing, invalidating, and damn straight insulting to you as a person. I will bite them on the leggy if it helps o/

Have a dancing gorilla, Birdmeat, you deserve it

We're all just walking each other home. You're a real one, never forget it ❤️

Hi! It's L'allieva anon!

Omg I was dying by the end of the season when Claudio kept leaving her stranded in the middle of nowhere 😂. You'd think she'd learn what triggers Claudio's change of humor but nooo she had the same shocked pikachu face each time.

You know, I thought I was the only one who started to like Ambra. At the beginning I didn't stand her, but toward the end of the season when she stopped being jealous about Claudio and Alice, the writers allowed her to be more than a one dimensional character. I was actually excited that she was pregnant! I really wanted her to stay and see her struggle to be the best while dealing with the pregnancy and questioning what she wanted in life. It could have been the start of a lovely friendship between her and Alice too ( because that woman befriends everybody!!)...but nooo they had to make her leave. Though later I found out that in the books Ambra lost her baby and actually died ( Alice investigated her death)...so it's better that they didn't kill her at least.

Speaking of bitchy rivals, I really enjoyed Beatrice in s2.

Jesus Alice's hair is disastrous in s2, as is her wardrobe! I don't know how they managed to make her even more child-like visually but they succeeded. She looks like a schoolgirl! They only positive change is Claudio's wardrobe! I love his new suits and the vests suit him so well! Somebody finally understood they have to keep that man in various shades of blue haha.

I feel you with the love triangles!

Well I'm not going to spoil you but let's just say Arthur is like an annoying cockroach that won't fucking die.

I too was stunned that they kept dragging that relationship untill the s1 finally...i was actually cheering on Claudio when he was ranting at her after the congress because she WAS acting like a teenager.

And Yes! Marco not being bi is a fucking missed opportunity because he totally gave me bi-vibes. I was like "get him a boyfriend! Or say he had a secret boyfriend and his family -beside Alice- didn't know about him" .So I am adopting your HC as my own! Bi-solidarity!

I love Alice and Claudio! Their bantering is so entertaining and it's the spice of the show! Though their communication issues are killing me...but they're improving season after season. I think Claudio is the one who grows the more each season, and it's beautiful to watch him mature emotionally and change for Alice. And this season is fun because we get a full on Jealous!Claudio 😁. Alice on the other hand, is slow with personal growth but I digg her professionnal growth! How she becomes more sure of herself, more efficient but doesn't lose the empathy and the willingless to help that makes her who she is.

I haven't seen non uccidere, it's on my list to watch because I LOVE Miriam Leone!

NICE i’m not the only one who grew fond of ambra! oh my god she dies in the books? that’s awful i’m so glad they didn’t do that!! if she had to leave i’m definitely glad she was just written out rather than mercilessly killed off damn

aww i like alice’s wardrobe haha it’s so cute! oh nooo i thought arthur was gone for good jfc are we going to get a love square situation with him and claudio and sergio lmfao most of the time i would make fun of the tropiness of every single person who meets the protagonist falling instantly in love with her but like. it’s alessandra mastronardi so i get it

yess the alice/claudio banter is the best! right now claudio is being annoyingly emotionally stunted so i’m looking forward to see him grow in that respect haha and you’re so right, alice’s professional growth is really nice to watch! i’m glad they actually pay attention to the fact that she’s a student still learning and developing her career rather than only using that as the setup for crimes and love triangles

and i highly Highly recommend non uccidere, it’s probably my favorite italian tv show i’ve seen so far (granted it’s also the only one i watched with professionally-done english subs so i also just understood it better lmao) and miriam is absolutely fantastic in it (plus matteo martari is there as the love interest so what could be better than that!)
