I think Klaus is an overrated character. I feel like the fandom latched onto him and act like he’s perfect and has never done anything wrong - there are so many posts about how this season he was out of character or how his siblings are ignoring him but that’s all of them? They all mostly ignore each other’s pain or put each other in pain. I like him but I don’t really get why fandom is obsessed with him when he’s just as (if not more) selfish than his siblings.
It’s the sad boi trope add the fact that he’s part of the LGBT+ community and you have someone that is perfect for tumblr. It doesn’t hurt that Robert Sheehan is easy on the eyes.
I should say there is nothing wrong with that formula. And you can get excited about whatever character you want for whatever reason.
There is no “right” way to consume media. Some people just want to enjoy media uncritically. I think that’s fine (to an extent). I like dissecting it because I did literature in college and what the fuck else am I gonna do with that? Why not use it to talk to strangers on the internet.
Ex (that’s not UA): some people like watching peaky blinders for the the action. I like looking at it from a “mother/mistress” perspective as defined by feminist literary theorist Annette Kolondy. I can talk more about that if anyone wants.
One way of interpreting a piece of art is not better than the other. There are very few interpretations of media that I will actively call wrong. I will fucking fight anyone who tells me Lolita is a romance novel.
I think we get stuck on certain interpretations, which don’t allow for nuanced perspective. This goes for all types of art/media.
All of that said. I think talking about how each of the siblings interact based on their trauma is incredibly interesting. People and their trauma don’t exist in a bubble. How we cope/experience trauma is directly linked to how/who we interact with. Because they have all been apart for so long and have only interacted with each other in toxic and abusive environments (prior to s1). That’s going to influence their interactions as adults. We can talk about it more applying a bit of Interpellation theory. Note: this theory is a lot more complicated than I am going to make it seem. Basically, we are constantly subjugating (hailing) each other to fit into our societal ideology and our “place” in it. If we substitute Hargreeves toxic and abusive environment for the societal ideology then throughout both seasons the kids are constantly hailing back into that toxic environment. Making comments like Allison being “daddy’s little girl” all of them not saying anything when Hargreeves “talks” to Diego. They are being hailed back Into their roles when they were trapped in that environment. How Klaus is constantly labeled as a screw up and incapable. But he also feeds into that. If no one properly expects you to show up and take responsibility, why do it? What they need to do is rebuild their relationships outside of that toxic environment. Some of that has started, but not enough. I know Althusser argued that there was no escape, but let’s hope that’s not true in this scenario.
Advice: Write what you want to see in the world.

Happy, Happy Thanksgiving to all! I love you all! I have been so busy fighting/advocating for Chronic Pain Patients Rights... too many individuals are committing suicide at phenomenal rates because they are in horrendous pain... feeling desperate, lost, alone, overwhelmed, scared, broken and feel like they have no other options! PAIN IS RELENTLESS, PAIN IS CRUEL, IT DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE, IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU ugh... Please pray for me and all the 100 Million+ Americans who suffer 24/7, 365 days a year! Will be meeting with legislators, media etc. to bring/spotlight attention to this whole man-made, opioid epidemic we are facing here in the the United States of America. Shaking my head... I can not believe how badly our civil rights are being VIOLATED! Today CHRONIC PAIN, tomorrow what... Freedom of speech? I miss each and every one of you... really do! I think of you all on a continual basis (everyday in fact) honest to God! XXXOOO A side note if anyone suffers from chronic pain issues or you know anyone who does, please do reach out to me! Our voices need to be heard, if we band together we can make change! EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHRONIC ILLNESS / PAIN, one day God forbid, due to an accident, illness or other circumstances this might be your Journey too! And/or you believe the government should stay out of our Medical /health rights and not play doctor with our lives. We need you tears... please! I IMPLORE YOU... I AM FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE MILLIONS OUT THERE WHO ARE IN TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS , TREMENDOUS PAIN ! I spend approximately 16+ hours a day working on this... not just for me, but, for that veteran who is contemplating suicide because his pain is so out of control and he can't get the medications he so desperately needs. And for that woman over there who isolates herself in her room barely ever leaves it, except to go to the bathroom. Who feels lost , alone, desperate and curled up in a ball crying out in so much pain. Who feels like suicide is her only option! She cannot find a doctor who will listen, care, respect, acknowledge and treat her illness/pain so many of us have the same story, yet different. We are labeled, judged and feel as if we are the Forgotten and unimportant part of society. We feel as if government, medical community, most time society as a whole doesn't care, we are labeled drug addicts, drug seekers, lazy, and the list goes on and on and on! Imagine what that does to our self-esteem and self-worth. Especially, when you have validated, qualified medical proof of your ailments yet, you are victimized time and time again! It does so much to mess up your psyche it's incredible, in addition with the pain... too much! With the new FDA guidelines they are killing us pain patients by under treating or not treating our so painful conditions it's Insanity, it's inhumane and torture! In fact, United Nations Policy... states that Pain Management is a Fundamental Human Right Under Treatment or not Treating is a form of torture and is a crime against humanity! Our government is totally ignoring each and every one of our explanations and/or pleas to be heard, and the wrongs that have been done to us Made-Right. Inaccurate, manipulated information be corrected with the right statistical information! However, they the GOVERNMENT/MEDIA just DOESN'T CARE, AND DOESN'T RESPOND! So many of us in the community feel as if we have no value. Every single day, and I'm not playing, every single day. I talk to No Lie 10-30 different individuals who are desperate... have no medication or at the very end of their medical medication. They are crying and screaming in pain, who want to kill themselves as they see no other viable option. I know exactly how they feel as that has been my mindset on numerous occasions! I have videos of me in pain and there's a huge difference between me properly medicated giving me quality of life and me not medicated not wanting to go on! This truly is a PUBLIC EMERGENCY and PEOPLE NEED TO GET INVOLVED ON SO MANY LEVELS! I apologize for this long, long, long post... I am just such a concerned and caring empathetic individual who tries to always stick up for the underdog! For those who cannot stand up for themselves. Regardless of how ill I am! Or how incredibly this is to the depriment of my health which is speeding up my eventual death! But I feel like God is telling me that this is my purpose! So I will not stop until I take my last breath! It's all about Humanity, mankind, empathy and justice for those who suffer whether it be from #DEPRESSION, #RACISM, #MENTAL OR EMOTIONAL ILLNESS, #SPECIALEDUCATION #DISABILITES (AUTISM my grandbaby💙💙💙) TO #CHRONICPAIN.💜💜💜 So with no options and so much pain there are only three options for us . Since so many individuals are being weaned or completely taken off our medications that we have been prescribed for many many years... #1... current guidelines be rescinded and made right more regulations put on safer prescription prescribing.... but we have access to our medications! #2 we go to the streets probably turn to heroin as it is cheaper and easier to find. Thus, we will still be one of the statistics addicted with possible outcome of overdose. Costing the government money which is the root of all evil and probably behind this whole made up crisis #3... #SUICIDE our pain will not go away it is chronic it is every day, it is relentless and by taking away our medications you are not only taking away or quality of life but no viable option is replaced! We are told to go see a psychiatrist what is a psychiatrist going to do about our pain? It is not made up it is not going to just magically go away! Even if we were to go into mandatory as they're trying to get bills passed that individuals who test for opioids have to go into mandatory rehabilitation centers. Our pain is still not going to go away we are still going to have it! All of the statistics for overdoses were all grouped together that includes aspirin, medications for diabetes, cocaine, alcohol, heroin in the illegal Fentanyl we're all included in the statistics which was 60,000 + but that is not 60,000 prescription opioid deaths, which media, White House, Christy and Kolondy have has led us to believe! There are more falling deaths then opioid prescription related deaths! I have so much more to say but will in another post! I am attaching a couple links so you could go ahead and see this information for yourself! God bless you I love you and Happy Thanksgiving #WhatWhat #WHOOPWHOOP#YEPYEP #TOTALLY #100ALLDAYEVERYDAY XOXOX Due to this whole opioid man-made made up crisis either join contact me or some kind of advocacy group! Day are putting inaccurate misinformation manipulated to serve their purposes out there in the media so many people are misinformed and truly believe the information that is being said to them is true and accurate when that is so far, so incredibly far from the truth! I have researched, and researched! And Edition, IB long 2 several group many that advocate and educate those who had no clue of the Injustice that is being done to chronic pain sufferers everywhere! In fact I belong to a very Elite group with all of the top Advocates / doctors / authors actors and actresses / PhD / professors flash chronic pain individuals etc... We as a whole research dispute and just bill information that comes out in the media Exedra Oops she can't attach the link or I'll lose the post one of them is to opioid epidemic in six charts designed to deceive You, by Josh Bloom Another one pain Wars, bye Suzanne Stewart other amazing amazing articles by Dr. Forest Tennant, Richard Red Lawhern and Dr. Thomas Kline
