having a praise kink is so embarrassing like “oooo i like when people are nicies to me :)”

Fighting for my life in the early ch&t fandom trenches, fighting for my beautiful fat butch Salem to be recognized as someone who isn't the worst in the fandoms eyes

The humble episode 45 s2 of camp here and there:

Genderswap Adam's name is Good Evening (Eve). Decided. Canon. So Sayeth.

as someone who has had quite a bit of therapy/ counselling, this new episode and adams role as Sydney’s “therapist” is making me go insane (positive)

(most of this is probably soooo obvious but I’m sharing my thoughts anyways)

the main thing I noticed was how Adam absolutely dominated the “session”, steering Sydney rather than having Sydney lead the sessions in the direction he wanted. Sydney wanted to acknowledge his positive feelings towards jedidiah, and Adam constantly steered him back to negative feelings, only seeming to validate them. it presents Adam as being in control in the dynamic, despite his insistence that jedidiah is creating an unbalanced dynamic and that it’s wrong (jedidiah and Sydney’s power balances are a whole different question that I won’t get into much now). It’s obvious why he did this, he wants to control Sydney, but as adams role as a therapist, it’s a really interesting dynamic. A good therapist may suggest how you feel, and may ask questions to delve into certain feelings or topics, but will never force a topic or feeling on you, and probably won’t dominate the session either. not only that, but Adam was actively trying to create a dynamic of therapist and patient, and pursuer and pursued. Obviously, those two dynamics should *never* go hand in hand, so it’s really telling about adams character that he tried to force both at once. Both of the roles he plays feel meticulously crafted and incredibly inauthentic. He uses “technical” language, however it feels more for the sake of using it rather than as a method of communication. When Sydney questions whether it would be harmful for him to give blood to Adam, Adam refers to the act as “self harm”, saying it wouldn’t count as that, rather than actually answering Sydney’s question. His other role, the pursuer, is a strange mix of jedidiah in the current season and Elijah from the previous one. The compliments/ flirting and the insistence of deep, personal connection almost seem like he’s trying to become jedidiah in a weird way, appealing to Sydney’s need to be heard and desired/ wanted in a way almost identical to Elijah. Either role is incredibly interesting, but together it’s a really unique take on this kind of manipulative relationship.

Slightly off topic but I also LOVE how language is used by the narrator to show their own discriminatory bias’. Sydney is infantilised by being referred to as “the boy” instead of the man, which could be both a commentary on how trans men are often infantilised, but also could reflect how Sydney is seen by other characters like jedidiah and Lucile, who may not exactly see him as a child, but certainly treat him a little like one. Also blue wolf has kinda explained the use of it/it’s pronouns for Adam and how they’re used by the narrator to demean and dehumanise Adam due to the history of them being used more as a slur, and it’s a very significant thing to be brought to light. Alongside the social commentary, it also presented whatever organisation has the tapes and whoever is narrating as not entirely good, and may be observing or studying the camp for less than positive reasons

tldr: Adam SUCKS as a therapist

Ok so. We all agree that the sucking Sydney’s blood thing is a metaphor for sex right

I love how Sydney is so far removed from our society’s beauty standards and yet is the most pined after character in the show. My man is fat, disabled and trans, and yet he has at least three guys losing their minds over him at any given time. Jedidiah, Joshua, Elijah, the delivery guys (yes im counting them they count idc), and now Adam???? And the way he reacts to Elijah and Adam flirting with him makes me think that he’s very used to it too. This man KNOWS he’s the shit but he has kids to look out for damn it.

Since this is my most popular post on here, I figured I would let y'all know that this specific shirt is just a knock-off of an actual, official shirt created by the Mount Pleasant Library Friends. The Mount Pleasant Library Friends is a volunteer non-profit organization committed to supporting local library programming.

To raise money for their cause, they have official block-printed shirts with this slogan on them available to buy on their website! And if you ask me, I like their design better because it looks truly handmade.
