The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: The Price of Success

What is the price we pay for success? This question has been a regular visitor since I first started to take writing seriously. In this age of podcasts, there’s been enough debate to fill hours. But, exploration of it always seems to be in theory. We rarely get to see how it plays out in reality. From the outside, success looks glamorous, especially when the trophy is handed over, but it’s…

Sometimes I think about how after I had my Ketamine loading doses and applied to grad school and got the best grades of my life and how both my brothers have done a ton of drugs but never in an addiction way and did most of them in college while having great friends, great grades and leaving with a life long partner. how so did my dad and how we are descendants of bootleggers and how maybe just maybe some people just need to go have a drug fueled psychedelic experience from time to time that's probably in my genes and how other people are wired so different that it's bad for them. And one of those people is my dad's sister.

Like I'm not saying drugs are the answer. It just annoys me that all of my mental health drugs are controlled substances that are hard to access safely and in many cases safer* and more effective than the standard treatment. Like it shouldn't be a privlege to get them but it is. And like how many people who are seen as "addicts" actually need those drugs or other treatment that I have access to and they don't. We are just white enough (Jewish) and just rich enough to be fine (all that bootlegger money) but so many aren't. They deserve access to treatment too

Strange New Worlds really just crammed allegories to every type of discrimination and highlighted refugee issues in a 54 minute episode that absolutely slapped and conservatives are going to complain about for the next 6 months

Fucking excellent 👌

Second opinion on a tooth this morning. My appointment is at 7:30 am. I had to drive before the sun came up. Not awake!

love how the mere presence of nonbinary people sends some particular folks into sex essentialism fueled rants about how we cant just "ignore sex" as if nb people dont already know the immutable and important nature of sex bc it stares us in the face every day

ignore it? don't make me laugh. we can't ignore a damn thing if we tried.

i hate to break it to you, but WE ALL KNOW you cannot clock a nonbinary person from appearance alone. sometimes (not always) that is even the point. androgyny is not always the nb goal. androgyny also isn't always nb. divorce the two in your mind rn.

we are well aware that what we look and sound like directly influences what we are perceived as upon first impression. it is just the truth. a lot of us will never escape misgendering. but that is really not an excuse to refuse to change your language when you learn otherwise

if ur gonna become deaf when someone uses they/them (or any other non he/she pronoun) on somebody (out loud, multiple times, perhaps even correcting you), then do it about 9000 yards away from me, k?

Considering. Honestly. (This is a they/she !!!!!)

Idk. Lion mask. Kitty cat. The freak of nature.

genuinely irritates me when people are like "i hate when artists complain ab getting likes and not reblogs i interact with them less and block them" like it makes u seem like an asshole. my engagement on this site is dogshit and u guys constantly are encouraging people to keep making it worse bc u feel ur on some moral high ground. like dont be surprised when ur favorite artist you only follow and dont engage with stops posting bc they feel discouraged from a lack of engagement ur encouraging

Poison World, Chapter 22 - Phecda tells Kori about the strange myths of Curiah: the fox spirit that slayed an aristocrat, the sea-beast that was killed in front of her guardian and a marchioness, the man who lives in exile to keep a wyvern company, and Phecda’s own Origin Curian form called the Dream-stealing Prince.

So another installment of privleged Hollywood rich, white men sucking each other's dicks.

Glad you like the Boston Dumb Fuck, Shawn and Ryan. But he didn't gaslight you and make you look stupid, crazy and jealous so he could fake marry a racist, antisemetic, fatahaming, arrogant, lazy, childiish idiot. But he did do that to many undeserving people and selfishly used his friends and family, including his beloved dog, to pull it off.

Compulsive, pathological liars can look like nice guys, too.

Funny how you aren't going on about the other cameos you had, like Channing Tatum or Jennifer Garner. Perhaps because their careers and lives aren't in shambles at their own hands and need coddling enablers to save them from the consequenses of their actions. So good job, rich white men for again sticking together and coming to the rescue of a fellow comrade so none of you have to learn a hard fought lesson on how to be a better person!

Also funny how "murdering it" is just being really aggravating and aggressive in a heavy Boston accent, reminding me I don't like Chris Evans as an actor anymore because I don't see Johnny Storm or Captain America. I now only see the soulless, lazy fuck who played them.

What y'all didn't understand about Bitey was that it wasn't this moment where Tomshiv suddenly became equal and safe to be themselves both truly. It was entirely on Shiv's terms. They only play Bitey because Shiv initiates it and tells Tom to bite her hard.

Listen, Tom got Shiv the Scorpion. I love you. You kill me. I kill you. Yeah Tom started to think maybe Shiv could love him as he loves her: in his entirety and not just the nice parts.

And then Shiv punishes him by shitting on his reputation at a party they're throwing together as payback by spreading rumour he's gonna be fired,,, all cos she didn't like the scorpion, and furthermore the idea of you kill me I kill you, we stab each other, we both get to bite each other, we both get to hurt each other - not just you hurting me, we're both scorpions, we're both equal, you sting me and I sting you. We're equal.

But they're not and they never will be. Cos Shiv loves like her father does: an owner that kicks a loyal dog to see how quickly it returns. Cos Shiv expects Tom to love it when she hurts him, but it's not allowed for him to hurt her back, to sting her back, to bite her back. Cos it's not about equality in a relationship for her, sorry, it's about playing with power dynamics for her in a fetishistic way. It's exciting for her when Tom bit back because ultimately she told him to and moreso could stop it at any time. It's only allowed under her circumstances - of which she's still in power always. She'd never allow Tom to be equal to her truly.

I know using a pseudonym online is normal but why do I even go by cleo on this blog when my real name appears in at least two beatles and pink floyd songs each

[something-in-your-walls]

bro i’ve been rereading dog man recently and MY GOD do they REALLY have to make it that sad?- Petey was always my favorite character (The only exception being Flippy because he’s honestly who I aspire to be. Dunno why I like Petey though. I think it’s just cause he’s silly) so when I found out they gave Petey a TRAGIC BACKSTORY I almost died. like DUDE you can’t DO THIS to me give him back his mom privileges >:(

looking for something kh-related to play while waiting for missing link and/or kh4? want to see the radiant garden gang some more? enjoy slight canon divergence that still plays within the bounds of canon to allow for character exploration and also for you to possibly get to smooch THE braig kingdomhearts?

answered yes to any of those? well, have i got the game for you!

(it's eclipsed. @nicedracula made it. it just updated. go play it.)

You know, now that my dad knows about... all of this (as in, my religious views and community), I have yet another person to infodump to about judaism. This is great because I don't have many people at all who have the privilege of me speaking about everything from kosher to purim to hair coverings after marriage to views about g-d to traditional differences all in the span of twenty minutes (which then turns into an hour and a half)
