you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable

bllk men who let you go through with the divorce bc they think post-divorce sex with you will be unbelievably sexy and you're remarried like less than a year later

why does every tsc male main character act like a divorced father of three w bills to pay at 17. who gave them the right.

[miss-allsundays]

i was kind of expecting it (because of the danny motta pandemic), but the amount of people that just. write off octavia as some sort of ungrateful brat is really pissing me off.

we, as the viewers, have a much broader understanding of stolas, his life, and his relationship with stella. we are also made to look at it in a positive light for stolas, because we are shown instances of stella and her brother being the terrible antagonists they were written to be.

and most importantly, we do not have an attachment to stolas and stella’s relationship.

octavia instead, has had her life recently upended, has seen her father do a 180 change and (in her eyes) ruin his whole relationship.

her parents are divorcing, and they’re going about it in the worst way possible. they keep badmouthing each other, and they are, quite frankly, very dismissive of octavia— stolas as well, even if he doesn’t mean it.

and then, her father risks his life for the guy he destroyed his family for. and she is left with her mother and uncle, who clearly don’t have her best interests in mind.

of course stolas deserves to be happy, and of course he can love both blitzø and octavia at the same time, but what a lot of people don’t get is that she is a hurt child, who is very lonely at the moment, and who has not had the time to process everything.

instead she has to watch her dad fawn over his affair partner, talk shit about her mother even after the divorce, and then he suddenly leaves and oh! he will be banned from their house for a hundred years.

of course she holds resentment over her father!! he hurt her, just as much as her mother hurt her!!

because yes, stolas’ hatred towards his ex-wife is justified, but he has subconsciously let that feeling cloud over his love for octavia.

for a child, seeing your parents go through a divorce is really fucking tough. even if their relationship wasn’t the best, even if the love wasn’t there anymore, your parents splitting up still feels like a point of no return. as someone who went through that, i cannot tell you how many nights i spent as a teen wishing my family would go back to normal, even if the rational part of me knew that their separation was a much better outcome, and that the normal i hoped for hadn’t been that in years.

their divorce is only a couple of months old, it isn’t nearly enough time to begin getting over it, especially if you don’t have a good outlet for your emotions— which octavia doesn’t have.

and as i’ve mentioned earlier, the fact that her parents hate each other so openly is also another big fucking problem!! it does nothing but make the child in between feel bad, because they feel guilty for still caring about both of them, like their love for their parents is wrong and tainted.

(again, stella is terrible, and we can all agree on that— but octavia doesn’t know the full extent of it!! sue just wants her family back!!)

i feel for stolas, and it’s so, so obvious that he loves his daughter more than anything in this world, but i also understand why octavia wants some distance from him.

even though he didn’t mean to, he failed to think of how his daughter was holding up, until it was too late.

(and to everyone that says octavia hates her dad, go fuck yourself and pick up a pair of glasses. there is a difference between being hurt by someone’s actions and hating them. she went to IMP to give him his meds. she saved stolitz + IMP from andrealphus. learn some media literacy before you speak thanksssssssss<3 )

My Terror toxic trait is that I love when Dundy goes through a divorce arc

[ikana-graveyard]

genuinely so put off by all and any form of romance at this point like... I just want money and free-time and to be alone

[journey-to-the-attic]

friends are currently debating whether 'lost in the citadel' or 'montero (call me by your name)' is the better solphisto song and here are the main points for each side of the argument:

"lost in the citadel works for both perspectives and their tragic yuri romance" (lines 'i need time to get up and get off the floor / i need time to realise that i can't be yours' given as main example) - jo

vs

"montero cos those two definitely want to f-" - james (perhaps better known as captain bhole)

I went into speech therapy 10000% sure that 1) If I moved people would think my lisp was an accent and respect it and 2) that anyone who matters will put in the effort to understand me. And I was right!!!

Forced speech therapy is the same as ABA therapy with the same effects. You're sat down to be told that the way you do it is inherently wrong. You're taught to pick your behavior to pieces and analyze it to manually do it the "correct" way that everyone else just does naturally.

I immediately disregarded everything they tried to teach me and refused to do my assigned homework for it so it didn't work. (Good. I never wanted it to.)

But I did get an anxiety induced stutter from it and heavy non-gender related vocal dysphoria that makes it so I have a panic attack if I hear my own voice. I hate having it recorded and if someone turns on speaker phone so my voice bounces back to me I can't talk to them.

I wish they taught me sign language instead. Or if even people had the patience for you to get out a pen and paper to switch to communicating with writing. Would've saved me a lot of trauma and internalized ableism,

i love you lisp i love you stutter i love you pressured speech i love you damaged vocal cords i love you aphasia i love you mutism i love you selective mutism i love you deaf voice i love you apraxia i love you speech delay i love you vocal tic i love you articulation disorder i love you sign language

i hate you societal norm to make fun of speech impediments i hate you “get it fixed” mentality i hate you mocking someone for the way they communicate i hate you “go to speech therapy so your kid won’t be bullied” i hate you i hate you i hate you

No but Jayce must have been so confused. Like imagine you almost get exploded by a terrorist attack and your partner almost dies so to save him you, a) discover that he has a purple leg because he let your decade long science project drink his blood or whatever and then b) use his notes to do more illegal and immoral magic-science to encase him in a goop chamber so your decade long science project can rebuild his body.

Then you sleep next to his goop-cocoon for who knows how long before suddenly he's crawling out of the goop naked as the day he was born and purple from head to toe, then when you're all like "I finally understand now" (crazy btw) "let's do science together for the rest of our days <3" he suddenly and without warning tells you he wants a divorce and then nopes out of not only your office but the country -- still purple and naked as the day he was born btw

Like. What do you even do with that?

[therevengeoffrankenstein]

i wanna see fabba again sooo bad but unfortunately my dumbass parents are dumbass divorced so i have to fucking coordinate with them.

[ojamayellow]

which kamen raider series would be more accessible to someone who hasnt watched it before?

Definitely do NOT torrent.

And definitely do NOT ACCESS THIS GOOGLE LINK DRIVE THAT HAS FROM KUUGA TO ZI-O AKA THE HEISEI ERA (PLUS ZERO-ONE AND SABER BEING REIWA)

And do NOT watch my favourite Kamen Rider, Zero-One. And DO NOT watch a recommended starting point from yours truly, Kamen Rider OOO. Which is about a traveler who teams up with a DEMON BIRD HAND.

Also I think it's on some streaming service or something like Tubi but not for Australians so I can't check for you.
