“What I really love about Bates Motel is that the relationship between mother and son is very real and very intense. Very intense. Yet, it is based on many relatable experiences we all have as parents and we all have as kids of parents. What parent doesn’t, on some level, want to hang on to their kid as long as possible? What kid doesn’t want to have their mother’s complete devotion and approval somewhere along the line? These are real and human qualities that just take a wrong turn at some point in the Bates household, but all underscored by the intense mother/child love bond: probably the greatest protective instinct built into human beings. Are Norman and his mother dysfunctional? Absolutely. Are they too close for their own good? Clinically. Do they love each other more than any other being in the world has ever loved either one of them? Blissfully and tragically, yes…The world of White Pine Bay has a dark, fairy tale quality in many ways…The shadowed world of subconscious desires and secrets we keep, even from ourselves, provides the landscape.”

It's something we all understand but that so many don't want to admit. ❤️ thank You God for making me into a person that can.

"What drew me to it was telling a story about a dysfunctional mother and son where the dysfunction had bad things to it but also had a sort of larger than life bond that came out of the co-dependence. Some of that bond was beautiful even if it was a bad thing. I think initially that roped me in, and also one of my first novels that I loved was Wuthering Heights which was also very much about a bond between two people that was larger than both of them that they couldn't quite figure out how to let go of it, and at the same time they couldn't quite figure out how to live without it. How to let go or how to live with it. I think that sort of Gothic Romance of that book was appealing to me too in thinking about a co-dependent relationship between Norma and her son." — Kerry Ehrin

I’m so proud of you, Mother.

Modern fandom went awry when people stopped learning how to avoid content that upsets them and instead starting actively seeking it out.

I mean this in the kindest, most loving way possible, but babes you'll be so much happy when you stop focusing on what other people are doing and instead focus on what you like.

You'll never be able to stop people from liking what you hate, and the best way you'll find any peace of mind is properly utilizing blocking, blacklisting, and muting tools. Take it from someone who used to run a shipping discourse blog, fandom is supposed to be what you enjoy, stop focusing on things that upset you.

Realizing you can like people aesthetically without it dictating your sexuality is so liberating tbh. Like, one can adore, even be obsessed with, the looks of someone of the same sex and still be straight. One can find people beautiful, and handsome, and fascinating, and still be asexual. I can like the physical appearance of someone of the opposite sex and still be gay. Finding physical beauty in people doesn’t equal to being physically, or sexually, or romantically attracted to them. Human beauty isn’t inherently sexual. Just wanted to put it out there.

AMEN!!!

Hotd art part 3

Romeo and Juliet as the artist said. Twitter acc @dudlesdudles

[soulbatesheaven]

Had to repost because in the book I wrote this year with a main brosis ship references romeo and juliet more than once. Despite it being a dystopian book , that play is a big part of the first books storyline lol!

Some of the fandom discourse on this website sounds like "I can't believe that FaceWearer, the show about the serial killer who tears out his victim's faces and wears them, would portray a relationship between a boss and his secretary, don't they know that power imbalances in relationships are fucked up :/"

[jessaerys]

if a ship isn't at least six different types of freudian-crossed-wires relationships spanning all kinds of love and several types of hate. what is the point

[soulbatesheaven]

this without the hate...okay maybe a little hate

[proship-gyro]

made a meme yesterday

[allshipsareok]

This applies to reading/writing fiction about your trauma too.

[iloveyourship]

Incest shippers who draw their ship! ~

Incest shippers who write about their ship! ~

Incest shippers supporting other shippers! ~

~ Just incest shippers! ~

[faustandfurious]

Anyway my stance on fiction and online harassment is shaped by the fact that I had unrestricted access to the local library from about the age of 8 and read quite a few books with fucked up content that I might have been a bit too young for and that caused absolutely no long-term damage to my mental health; meanwhile I was bullied mercilessly by my peers for several years and I’m still dealing with after-effects of that.

[assthetictbh-deactivated2016010]

seriously it’s 2013 where is this??

[everyday-departure-blog]

2013 and we can’t even electronically synthesize big macs out of nothing. We’re basically living in a dystopia.

[clowngirlhonkers]

2022 and we cant even electronically synthesize big macs out of nothing. were basically living in a dystopia.

RYV 1/2 I was watching Jaime French's video about Raise Your Voice, the Hilary Duff movie, and she mentioned how the brother is always recording his sister on his camcorder and cares about her so much, and that in reviews she had read, people thought that was suspicious. She also showed a clip where Hilary is singing and her brother comes in with his camera without her realising, and he has that "gosh, she's magical" look on his face.

RYV 2/2 I realised the brother is played by Jason Ritter who was in Joan of Arcadia, in which he also plays someone who has a sweet relationship with his sister. Also, there's a scene in the car where Hilary says something like "Let me know if you're ever gonna break the law again" and he looks at her with such guilt... I choose to interpret that how I choose lol. Just thought it was a fun recommendation that I had no memory of thinking involved sister/brother chemistry.

Raise Your Voice came up quite a few years back. In fact, it has been so long that I didn't even realize the brother was Jason Ritter. He is officially king of the incest shipping, because Raise Your Voice and Joan of Arcadia are only the tip of the iceberg. You've got Gravity Falls, Kevin (Probably) Saves The World, and, of course, Another Period.

I shared my thoughts about Raise Your Voice here.

I 100% agree that it's a fun recommendation and has A LOT to offer bro/sis shippers.

Thanks for your message, Anon!
