Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
"Now here's a thing I haven't seen before" then Daemon moving away 😭😭😭 let's get you an unobstructed view then
i find it really fucking wierd when people come on this website and say i wish they would have explored shanes eating disorder like do they not realize that most people who have these disorders dont realize that they have it or that they get triggered like any other mental illnesses when things are generally bad so shane unconsciously switching between overtly controlled and slightly relaxed without realizing or confronting or addressing it for himself is very normal behavior with the way i have observed. And the big reason ilya sees it in himself and seeks help is bcs hes seen his mother go through it so he has an example of what that unfortunately looks like and how badly it impacts the ones you love too. Not every book needs to explore everything it puts forward in detail bcs thats not how human beings view or tackle their own behaviors. I think its good that we as an audience can recognize it and we acknowlegde on here that there are disordered patterns but shane as an autistic professional athlete at the top of his game in a sport that doesnt give two fucks about his mental health is not going to go “oh because i only eat three things and its really upsetting when i cant” will go maybe thats bad and so wont ilya bcs same reasons so cut rachel reid some slack.
I will also add here and say that characterizing rachel reid as a bad writer and thinking jacob tierny to be some deep philosophical godly man for making the show reads like misogyny to me in some ways because what do you mean? The show litr has adapted exact conversations as is and is one of the most accurate adaptations made to date so ofc the material already had the depth to spur any slight “improvements” on. I think we also forget that Rachel Reid set out to write at its core smut and romance so giving a HEA and resolving most of the things was really important bcs that genre is read for that so saying oh ilyas mental illness went away so quickly is stupid bcs A. thats not how it reads to me and B of course she writes a somewhat satisfying ending bcs the book calls for it. For its genre it is one of the best books ever written and Jacob felt that way which is why he was so moved he decided to make the story in a 2 dollar budget instead of changing the source material. If you went into the book expecting some greek tragedy or something then thats on you. The curtain being green has meaning if you give it meaning and i see you all doing that for the show, hyper analysing every detail (which i really enjoy) but to say that the book doesn’t have the same meaning is hypocrisy.
Or even saying you wish she would have explored their miscommunications dynamic better or why it is that they fought about the boxing day party is like announcing to me that youre stupid and have no media literacy because you want every single workings and meanings explained. Go watch a netflix movie instead and leave women alone.
My favouritest sport fact ever is that in 1990s 2 cardiac surgeons watched an f1 race to save the lives of countless kids. The Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) kept losing the lives of patients after successful heart surgeries. Specifically the 10-15 minutes after a bonefide clinically successful surgery patients would die:
And so the two surgeons filmed a handover after heart surgery and sent it to the Ferrari pitcrew who were told to critique and improve handover process
And from this:
we got this:
The error rate during patien handovers dropped from 30% to 10% with the F1 informed protocol.
I literally love this fact so much because being an pitcrew member is such a thankless job because theyre underpaid and overworked mechanics and they literally saved lives in this instance.
Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital turned to Formula 1 for answers. By studying Ferrari’s pit-stop teamwork, they redesigned how patien
I love this!
And it that it wasn't a one and done.
The doctors went to the race tracks to watch the car changes and the pit crews went to the hospitals and watched a live transfer and offered suggestions and they kept working with them to improve.
After there was a successful improvement of the most vital metrics of a handover of a patient from surgery to ICU, the pit crews also worked with other hospitals for other procedures and it's now a whole thing of trying to apply the specialized, streamlined and speedy teamwork and nonverbal coordination of pit crews to other high-risk fields.
This is a perfect example of how two very different fields of knowledge meeting can make a huge leap forward in progress.
You’re in the wind, I’m in the water…
who the hell is writing this show and what unresolved issues do they have with their mother
my doomed targaryen dark haired princes. they both deserved to be kings and would’ve easily made the best kings their house had ever produced. GRRM when i catch you!!!!
Why the fuck does Ser Lorent listen to little princeling Jace and not to Rhaenyra THE HEIR TO THE THRONE? THE QUEEN OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS?!
That was so illogical...
Gonna be honest a lot of people deep down view cheating as worse than abuse which is why so many people view downright controlling and manipulative behavior in a relationship as 100% permissible so long as that behavior is centered around either preventing or discovering cheating.
Noah Kahan the next time you have deep complex articulate emotions towards your siblings, imma need you to please keep them to yourself instead of writing fuckass songs like willing and able ive been crying over that song for like 3 weeks youre making me doubt my anti depressants dosage youre ruining the numb i worked so hard for youre making me believe i need to work harder in my relationships with them youre making it difficult to be mean to them youre making it difficult to be nice to them
Rhaenyra being locked in her bedroom like a teenage fucking SENT me. She couldn’t possibly have dictated that her son go into battle (cause that’s bad!!) while the queen stays safe but we have to find a reason SHE doesn’t go into battle and THAT was what they came up with lmaoooo
And that's again this idiotic agenda of HOTD, all this "women are good", "men are bad" bullshit. Look, Rhaenyra is a woman, she's GOOD, she doesn't want war, she wants PEACE, but Jacaerys is a man, he's AGGRESSIVE, he doesn't listen to his MOTHER, he wants to FIGHT, he invites his bride to join him in battle with a maniacal smile - and eventually dies because of his stupidity (after all, everything about him saving his brothers was cut from the show). The same thing happened to Aegon, who was told by Alicent to "do nothing", he disobeyed, flew to battle and was injured. Dumb men.
Not only are all women “good and peacemakers” theyre also always the victims. Theyre good victims. The best at it.
Give me one good reason for the mother-son incest in this show? ONE. Just ONE good reason.
btw im also mad because i wish they would have given more of a fuck about vermaxs death. I wish they would have given us a haunting close up of that arrow striking him and the cry it probably let out, jace’s panic about his dragon being hurt not caring that hes going down and just a lot more emotionally charged hard hit about this story being at its core about the demise of all the dragons and they managed to somewhat accomplish that with meleys and arrax with making the audience also care about the death of the dragon. The story is so much also about the dragons being these intelligent emotional creatures that make choices and obey out of their love for their rider and the twisted relationship between the dragons and targaryens which will eventually end up costing them everything.
Will asoiaf creators ever stop putting women in their place? Like i get that you wanna show that theyre women in medieval times so theyre abused and ignored and hurt and powerless but Rhaneyra is the queen to her men, kingsguard men whos entire life training is to follow the queens commands. Do they realize how extremely stupid it is to show that one of her men refused to follow an order and she had to resort to banging on the door. Do they realize that these men would never listen to jace over her? Do they realize that jace would never give that order? Jace who has grown up with an immense weight of my mother is the queen and it is my duty to serve her, not protect or save but serve and follow. She is the most powerful person on Dragonstone and every single person in that castle would have torn down that door for her if someone even was even indignant enough to lock it in the first place, which they wouldnt.
And dont even get me started on the abusive disgusting aemond alicent kiss just to keep her in this victim, powerless trapped animal cycle.
Jaecerys targaryen you will be so missed. They didnt let you be the most eldest child in the history of eldest children to your full potential and we will all mourn it.
