#are my mommy issues showing?

[onlylovefordandelions]

Every time my mother says

"I was blessed. I had such easy children."

I die a little inside

Were we easy?

These kids

That hid hurricanes in their chests

That cry when an adult sounds upset

Even now

These kids

That watered themselves down

In as many ways as they could

These kids

That our older sister raised for so long

That cower when our father starts cleaning

His rage all too familiar

And when I confide in her now

And she says

"I wish you had told me you felt that way then. I would have done something."

I tear inside

Because I did

I did

I did

I did

I did

I did

I’m sorry, MARISKA? As in DETECTIVE OLIVIA BENSON? Paget, babe, I can’t take any more.

She gets it, and I’m having a proud moment. *Wipes away tear.*

*btw Paget is a real person please do not be one of those people who insists she’s gay over the internet/ pressuring her to come out, her sexuality has nothing to do with you. I just like that she is so understanding toward the LGBTQIA+ community. Thanks for coming to my TED talk xx.

The way this fandom treats Pudding should be studied under a fucking microscope because what do you mean you hate a girl who has been manipulated by her mother since she was born into hating herself and using a fake personality to attract men??? What do you mean you hate a girl whose last scene was sobbing because she had to let go of the only guy she has ever truly loved and has ever understood her??? Actually. Let me just-- What do you mean you hate a girl who was manipulated during the whole arc and clearly is being psychologically abused by her mother??

Are true riverdale fans of the opinion it is a very good and nearly flawless show or does being a true riverdale fan mean being able to mock writing choices

it's long-running serial television plotted a season/half at a time so definitely not even "nearly" flawless.

BUT. i'm not doing combat with the writing team. i'm not actively reading against the text the way i have to in order to enjoy something like supernatural or the 90s robin comics or the fucking sopranos, which are patriarchal christiancore copworld rapeworld white supremacist horrorshows that hate their minority audiences, with like 2 good creatives involved and martyring themselves to fight the good fight on sparse rare installments if you try to approach them sincerely.

riverdale writing staff are like a favorite smart problematic tumblr mutual to me. I don't always like what's on their blog or who they're referencing. but we're in the same community and i'm interested and inspired and i trust their agenda overall, even when i see shit i wouldn't have fucking posted. but bc i'm not being condescended to or actively spited i'm not gonna condescend to or spite them, you know?

i expect rvd to age like twin peaks (another very uneven, highly referential serial juggling a couple of intensely cool metanarratives on top of its core story). and twin peaks fandom mocks twin peaks all the time. twin peaks includes some CLUNKY shit. it's kitsch. it's camp. it has a second season that is largely ASS. james is there. and on top of that it also includes some genuinely offputting-to-me stuff that just bothers me to sit through, even though i feel like i understand and respect what they're going for with it. i just don't want to watch someone sweep the fucking bar for minutes and minutes as entertainment. OK!!?

...so yeah. mock riverdale but in the right spirit. is that an answer? do i sound like i'm chugging the flavoraid koolaid fresh-aid? probably.

just gonna share my Jeremy's First Banquet fic again because i'm rereading the first chapter while editing the second and i'm like damn. who wrote this? (affectionate)

It's weird how people paint "daddy issues" and even "mommy issues" as, like, a joke or a failure on part of the person who has those issues, rather than recognizing that daddy and mommy issues stem, for so many people, from abuse. What this all is is just abuse apologia, and nobody seems to either notice or maybe even care.

When somebody with daddy or mommy issues opens up about the "why," I can't ever seem to shake the fact that they tend to have gone through a ton of abuse and bullshit as a child. It's just crazy that other people would look at that and see a joke or a failure of the once-child who was abused.
