I didn’t know if I believed in ‘happily ever after’ anymore. I mean, I didn’t know what would happen tomorrow, let alone for forever and ever after. But I did know that I was happy, right there, right then, with him. And that was all I needed to know.

Estoy tan acostumbrada a ser la que escucha, que cuando alguien me escucha a mí no puedo parar de dudar si debería seguir hablando, de agradecerle por estar ahí

This is what Bella’s reaction should have been.

also part of growing up is realizing that the embarrassing music you liked in your early teen years still goes hard as hell

I like really love Krystal though and just…I really love that the writers did that. That they took someone they knew we’d immediately stereotype and judge and write off and then they allowed us, so quickly upon meeting her, to totally empathize with her. All the judgments slip away in place of love and support within one scene. One conversation.

And you have to realize: they’ve done that with every clone thus far. They show you this highly stereotyped generalized image and then allowed our perspectives of those images to alter completely. Sarah - all heavy eye-liner and tattered tights - calling about her daughter. Cosima - all miniskirts and hippie dreads - giving a homily about genetic development and evolution. Alison - a paranoid turtlenecks and landscaped lawn - willing to help the version of her that could have the one thing she couldn’t (biological kids). Helena - all cut-up back and crazy eyes - turned into a puppy at the slight sight of kindness.

And what’s interesting is that it takes no time for you to change your idea of these women. It doesn’t take hours of conversation and background research. In one fraction of a second, you see in them that tiny aspect of humanity that you see in yourself, and in that reflection you feel love - or at the very least you feel affection - and then even the idea of those past judgments are rendered utterly ridiculous.

And that’s important for this show. That’s WHAT’S important about this show. Surpassing stereotypes and judgments isn’t an impossible feat - in fact it’s incredibly easy. Loving the people beneath those stereotypes and judgments isn’t impossible either. And to learn more about the way you tick, you need to open yourself up to those fractions of moments where you are free to see yourself in those other people.

This has been a lesson in yet another reason why I love this show.

here’s an idea: notice toxic trends in your behavior and, idk, change them

cptsdwillgraham-deactivated2019

the fact that people are complaining on this post that they can’t change their behaviors that hurt others because they have x mental illness and We Can’t All Be Neurotypical Karen is absolutely fucking wild. do you realize your arguments have come full circle to being indistinguishable from the most crude, generic “mentally ill people are inherently dangerous and/or abusive” ableist rhetoric? you always have the agency to address the ways in which you are hurting others (or yourself). maybe not instantly. maybe not effortlessly. but it IS within your abilities and it is something you owe to your community and yourself
