#breakdown: olivia porter

[vivaciousoceans]

Exactly! All adoption starts with a loss, a breakdown in the biological family of the child. Ellie Porter was horrifically murdered after being s*x trafficked. Johnny D was an awful man and a psychopath but he was also killed in s*icide by cop. His biological grandmother, kidnapped him. Honestly SVU handled Noah’s adoption horribly for half of his life, and it’s just starting to take on a more adoptee centered perspective that doesn’t completely demonize his entire birth family, but Olivia’s reactions too him are still too much in my opinion.

I hate how Olivia, with all her years of experience, with all the resources at her disposal, can’t figure out how to react to Noah’s very behavior when it comes to being adopted. In fact, he should already be in therapy, long term. She takes all of his behavior so personally, and I get it, but Noah’s not a stupid kid, he can see her reactions. The fact that she can’t pull it together is frustrating.

general breakdown

is an actual cinnamon roll

likes: people, art, reading, music, gymnastics, ice skating, travel blogs, and abandoned antiques.

liv’s the type of person who finds beauty in practically everything. even where beauty may not seem to exist or is impossibly hard to detect.

she’s fiercely loyal, to an almost self-sacrificing degree. meaning: she’s super altruistic.

as kind and sweet-hearted as she is, once you damage her trust it’s very hard to get that back. not saying it isn’t possible but it takes a great amount of #effort. 

is an only child so she tends to look at all of her “friends” as extended brothers and sisters. it’s her own little quirk/habit so chances are if you’re her friend = you’re family.

grew up in a very conservative household to semi-religious parents. was forced to attend catholic church every sunday, was kinda sheltered, not really “allowed” to date or participate in typical teenage traditions.

was a virgin until she got to college, so she doesn’t “put out” easily.

attended harvard and studied english/literature and entrepreneurship. 

spent 3 years after graduation just trying to get her life together but it’s still a work in progress. she’s a little lost but slowly and surely finding her way. 

interesting fun fact: olivia is an excellent ice skater. she started at age 7 and participated in it up until she graduated high school. was once told she could’ve made it to the olympics had she furloughed on college. she didn’t, obviously. because passing on college was not even an option she could consider. on account of the fact that her parents would’ve never allowed it and she’s a people pleaser so.... she went to harvard, got a degree and kinda lost touch with that part of her but is working on getting it back and may/may not pursue it in some way in the near future.

is a hopeless romantic, eeeesh. she loves love and just wants to be loved, truly. 

always sees and wants to believe the best in people. (it’s a curse)

her parents are recently divorced / liv’s mom had an affair with her younger colleague and it caused a rift in their relationship but they’re in the process of mending it and liv’s very close to her dad now, who she moved to be closer to after the separation.

is finally moving out!!! and on her own. 

forever learning how to love herself as much as she loves those around her.

in a nutshell: liv’s the sweetest ball of sunshine you will ever meet. and she honestly deserves the world because she’s been through A LOT. 

connections

romeo saint james ― ex boyfriend / first love / won’t admit it to anyone so don’t even try it buuuuuuut he may still be the love of her life.....

river kartal ― friend / like a brother (sometimes) / fluctuates between love and "you annoy the fuck out of me but i deal with you because i have to”

rose (tbd?) ― best girlfriend / secret keeper / sister from another mister / soulmate

winnie blythe ― close friend / the little bro she never had / liv’s favorite person ever 

if you want to plot with olivia or learn more about her, just message me here or on my personal: @scarrps. discord: scar#4967 is open for plotting too.

[bishopsbelova]

I am honest to god having an emotional breakdown over Noah Porter today. 

His father was a pimp, his poor mother never stood a damn chance, Liv found him in a dresser drawer in a crack house as an infant (boy was barely a few months old). He was never meant to have a good life - but then Olivia fucking Benson came into it. 

She went to ever hearing there was when he was just little “baby boy doe”, eventually became his foster mom and then his mom. 

Now he’s Noah Porter Benson. He is happy, he’s thriving, he has a mom who loves him to death, the entire 16th squad who loves him to death - it may be an unconditional family, but it’s family. And he’s been raised in a loving, open and nonjudgmental household where he is free to be his truest self. 

He is so damn comfortable in his own skin, in his own sexuality. And that is because Olivia Margaret Benson saved him by getting him out of that environment. But he also saved her too - (from things I don’t wanna get into here but like iykyk) 

AND NOW LOOK AT THEM BOTH. 

THRIVING AND HAPPY.

The Stones performed at a private party for Patriots owner Robert Kraft of all people. The test run looked like just that. Shark jumped. I am becoming disillusioned.

*****

SNL is back with Owen Wilson as first host of season 47. Kacey Musgraves is the musical guest. Episode 2 will have a ridic choice for host. Halsey will sing. I suppose $ is power with the Kardashians. I could think of about 10 million other people to host but more and more Lorne goes for the shiny object , what he THINKS people want instead of taking risk. Beck Bennett is out.

*****

Is everybody watching the Amber Ruffin Show?? I loved her before but now… I learn so much from her show. Sometimes it takes a comic to get to the real serious shit. For example: Have you heard of drowning towns? Towns like Oscarville, Kowaliga, York hill, Seneca Village, Prentiss and countless other black towns that were drowned out to make lakes for the local whites. Central Park was also made after a black community was erased from history. Development displacement? Alleyway dwelling authority? Even those rabid for history can find out new things everyday. Thanks Amber!!

*****

Bob Woodward and Robert Costa are finally giving us Peril !!!!!!  I’ve been waiting!!** I was in political nerd heaven on Sept. 24 when Yamiche hosted Robert, Bob and Weijia Jang on Washington Week. All of my favorite pundits all together at one table, my dream team!!

*****

Joe Rogan got Covid.

*****

Lake Michigan beaches were closed down thanks to a US Steel plant chemical leak.

*****

Is this country the master of endless administrative work?  None of us should have been surprised at the red tape that the slowed down the end of the war in Afghanistan.** Uber donated 50k for rides and meals to the Afghans when they arrive.**And why do so many waste taxpayer $ on useless recounts and recalls when people need real help with food and healthcare? They must really hate humanity.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. – Dwight D. Eisenhower

*****

Texas has put a law into effect to allow most Texans to carry open without permit or training.

*****

Texas has banned abortion at about 6 weeks. Uber and Lyft will pay drivers legal fees if sued under Texas abortion law. Lyft donated $1mil to Planned Parenthood. ** Look for the ruling in the Mississippi law over Roe V. Wade in June 2022.**Hear us roar!** BTW.. Go Jen Psaki!!!!!!!

*****

They seriously banned plastic straws and abortion before assault rifles? – Eden Dranger

*****

Please stop banning abortions, the last thing the world needs is more Americans. –Sarah Beattie

*****

90 year old William Shatner will go to space for Blue Origin.

*****

The Q Anon Shaman pled guilty to a felony for obstructing the Electoral College proceedings. I say 20 years and a $250K fine.** 600 others have been indicted.

*****

Days Alert: The Beyond Salem thing was ridic but it was so great to see some old characters.  Days is so great at visiting old family. Who can resist Shane, Austin and Carrie, Billie and the old Kristen? I do wish that Peacock would get their kinks out!! Back to the real Days: Are we smelling an Emmy for Susan Seaforth Hayes and Bill?? ** Good to have Abigail back. It is always fun to wonder which actress and or personality it will be. ** Deidre Hall got her star on the walk of fame.**And just in time for Halloween, the Devil is making a comeback. The end of the year in Salem is always the best!! It is so brave to give the 96 year old man the old switcheroo into the Dark Lord.  It was fun to see the grandkids discover Grandma Marlena’s story. Delicious!! Hail Satan!!** It is past time for Tate and Teresa to come back to town. Brady needs to be put in his place. And thanks for the Philip and Chloe flashbacks!!

*****

The breakdown of the vaccinated: 90% of Atheists, 86% Hispanic Catholic, 84% Agnostic, 79% White Catholic, 73% White mainline protestant, 70% Black mainline protestant, 57% white evangelical. 1 in 500 Americans have died of Covid.

*****

Simone Biles, Mckayla Maroney and Aly Rasiman testified at  the Senate judiciary hearing about the FBI’s handling of accusations against Larry Nassar and it was eye opening!

*****

We wanted a no -nonsense Dem who pushes on and does not puss out.  I am a bit surprised to see we have it. There are so many pressing issues that I hope Biden works a bit more on Haiti though.

*****

The National Police Act was passed to celebrate cops. Still no police reform.

*****

John Mulaney and Olivia Munn are going to have a baby.

*****

The Emmy’s were a little different this year with more of a Golden Globe look.  Cedric the Entertainer hosted with Reggie Watts as DJ. Lots of minority noms but barely a win. It was a white people night. Ted Lasso had a great night. Mare of Eastown took home a few with Evan Peters, Julianne Nicholson and Kate Winslet. Now, Kate is great but how did Anya Taylor- Joy not walk away with that? Queens Gambit did win a couple and gave the longest speech with the seemingly arrogant director Scott Frank who opened up 2 page acceptance. Categories were tough but I was routing for Renee Elise Goldberry and Bowen Yang but perhaps next year. The people in England who had their own party for all the statues that the Crown won seemed to be having more fun! Hacks won for writing and directing and Jean Smart!! It was nice to see the Norm Macdonald love which was barely mentioned by Lorne but celebrated by John Oliver. Colbert ‘s election night special won as did JB Smoove. Hamilton won and Debbie Allen got the big one. I do not understand why real singers and or musicians have to be there for the in Memoriam. It takes me out of it a bit and concentrates the focus on them. Do they think that people will pay attention more? Do they want to keep the home audience or live audience from the bathroom?  My best dressed were Anya Taylor-Joy, Michaela Cole who won for I may destroy you, Jean Smart, Josh O’Connor, Kathryn Hahn, Billy Porter, MJ Rodriguez, Keenan Thonpson, Leslie Odom Jr., Catherine O’Hara, Trevor Noah, Eugene Levy, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, Bowen Yang,  Anthony Anderson, Leslie Grossman, Amber Ruffin, Allyson Felix, Renee Elise Goldberry, Samira Wiley and Rege- Jean Page. My worst were Sarah Paulson, Gillian Anderson,  Beanie Feldstein, Elizabeth Olsen and Aidy Bryant. To me the best part of the show was the enthusiasm of Conan and the way he injected himself into much of the evening .He was the show.  Go Conan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*****

Next year there must be some Emmys for Sarah Paulson and Cobie Smulders in Impeachment!!!!!

*****

Oh Boy!! The Eyes of Tammy Faye!!

*****

Looking forward to the Electric Life of Louis Wain with Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy.

*****

Abba has a new album!!

*****

Shang Chi is the biggest Labor Day opening with a $71.4 mil opening.

*****

Sen. Amy Klobuchar has announced she has breast cancer.

*****

Is it the 70’s? A streaker ran past the studio of the Today show.

*****

Rascal Flatts Joe Don Rooney was arrested for DUI.** Nicholas Cage was thrown out of a prime rib pace in Vegas after being drunk and disorderly.

*****

Jennifer Eckhart has filed a lawsuit against former Fox news anchor Ed Henry for rape and retaliation after allegedly being handcuffed and beaten.

*****

Scarlett Johansson has settled her Disney lawsuit.

*****

Pete Buttigieg and Chasten had twins they named Penelope Rose and Joseph August.

*****

I noticed a commercial for Dancing with the Stars. Are we onto the E list because I have heard of hardly any of these people. ‘Stars’is really stretching it. And as I post this I see there are some covid issues there as well.

*****

Virgin River was renewed for 2 more seasons.

*****

Trevor Noah is right? Why do they stop giving lollipops to adults at the doctor?

*****

Jon Stewart is back on Apple tv with ‘The problem with Jon Stewart.

*****

Brooklyn 99 had about the best finale (other than Newhart) that I can recall. I had my fingers crossed that Chelsea would be back. Will they honor us like they did in the show and come back for a special about once a year? That would be fucking awesome!!

*****

Don’t expect compliments from an insecure person.- Mr. Pickles

*****

Thousands and thousands of people are in need. Haitian refugees and other immigrants have seen nothing like this what with assassination, a hurricane and earthquake. The Southern border is a mess.** Why does Fox news keep telling refugees the border is open as they sit back and laugh at Biden’s predicament.  Spreading false info to intentionally hurt poor, distressed people has no end for them.

*****

Do companies know how fucked up their employment websites are? It is true that some people do not want to work. It is true that people schedule interviews and don’t show up. It is also true that companies have made it so hard to apply that many can’t. I suppose it is easier for them but the poor who may really want to work have a hard time. Paper applications are almost completely gone. The old fashioned way of walking into low paying job sites and finding a connection with a manager rarely exist. Some places only accept texts or have long ridiculous psych tests that a working Mother may not have time for. A Father working many hours already, may not be able to go to the library to get online if they cannot afford a computer. Many websites tell you that there no positions available in your area while there is a huge sign in front of the establishment. Can’t find people to work.. Gee I wonder why?? And treat people with respect once you find them, how about that?

*****

Keep your head up in failure, and your head down in success. –Jerry Seinfeld

*****

Hey.. There was a van air B’n B biz going that got busted. Hey.. The poor need vaca’s too. It is wrong but If they are willing to sleep in a van, why not. I truly think that many do not understand how much people are struggling.

*****

Free coffee day came and went but only a few places really gave you free coffee without rules to govern the promo. Some places wanted to sell you something else and some made you belong to their club. Starbucks held that customers had to come inside for the free cup of Joe, handicapped or not.

*****

One would think the Republicans would run out of $ for recounts but they have deep pockets. Just think how much good they could do for the huddled masses with that scratch.

*****

Sad to lose Mick Brigden, protégé of Bill Graham who managed The Stones and worked with Frampton, Dylan and Santana.** And the comics were very vocal about the loss of Norm Macdonald. He was one of a kind and he will be missed!

*****

R.I.P. Ruth Marx, Lee Scratch Perry, Willard Scott, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Isadore Bleckman, George Wein, Michael K. William,George Holliday, Anthony Johnson,  Basil Hoffman, Al Harrington,Willie Garson, Mick Brigden, Tommy Kirk and Norm Macdonald.

I'm literally sitting at work thinking that everyone who doesn't know Noah is adopted is going to look between Liv, Noah & Elliot, put two and two together & get 5. But Elliot is going to hear Noah Porter Benson, put two & two together, come to 72 & then have a breakdown because he thinks Olivia had a kid with Dean Porter of all people. Just... all the misunderstandings that could arise from this!

Listen. This is. They are pretty good about the callbacks on this show, not great but sometimes they pull it out. And Dean wasn't just one episode and done he was kind of a big deal. And Elliot haaaaaaates him. They have such a perfect opportunity here to tear this man UP. his little scene with Fin, he tried to take a pause like he's all chill but he is D Y I N G to know who knocked up his girl lmao and if he thinks it's someone he hates?? If he thinks about everything he missed?? If he KNOWS it's his own damn fault bc he walked away? Listen let my man suffer for a minute lmao

But like this child?

Oh someone somewhere gonna have some questions
