Does anyone else ever have that moment to where you're holding your razor in your bathroom and you just stand there staring at the mirror wondering if you should or not

I need to vomit, but the attention is too good to pass up.

I feel like whatever happens to Nat not just in the finale but even if she lives, for the whole show, is a good indicator of what Yellowjackets is trying to do and say as a story. Obviously we’ve got Shauna and Tai and the wilderness and who you have to be to survive and consuming the ones you love and how you cope with knowing there’s a darkness in you but with Nat it’s like. This girl has been suffering one way or another her whole life. She’s always fought to do the right thing and when pushed into extreme situations she sometimes fails because she’s only human, but she’s here and she’s alive. She tried to kill herself and failed. She tried to kill a fish and failed. Where are the writers interested in taking her character. What’s the ultimate narrative arc for her. Are they going to kill her off to show that some people simply can’t survive such intense trauma and awful choices? That the girls ultimately chose faith in the mystical over realism? Are they going to make her get worse, make it a tragedy about spirals and fighting against the current you know will win in the end? Is she going to get the chance to actually heal? Is she going to have to run from the others again, and if so what will that thematically represent?

I don’t have a solid point with any of this because “Character fates impact the narrative” is hardly a groundbreaking statement. Shauna’s arc demonstrates the shows themes. Taissa’s arc demonstrates the shows themes. But with Nat... idk I’m just rotating her in my mind and watching with fascination. I don’t know what direction the writers are going to take with her and that excites me. But by making her the heart/moral center of the team they set it up so that whatever happens has a significant impact to the show’s statement on morality as a whole, not just her character alone. We saw that last episode with Javi’s death, and her choice to let him die. I really feel like we’re going to see it again this finale.

I am sad to say that today I learned that I am very depressed. Probably clinically.

(This has not been diagnosed, but I've seen the signs and the writing on the wall)

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl

While I’d want this concept to mostly be a lighthearted comedy, since that’s more my forte, the north star (heh) of this premise would be the loss of passion for something you once loved, feeling the pressure/expectations of sticking with something that you’re “a prodigy” at and the subsequent burnout. How hard do you fight for an old passion or at what point do you just let it go? Is it even okay to give up when so many people are counting on you? 

Sounds bleak but I promise I’m an optimist and that will always reflect in my work :)

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
