i think it's intentional that this character is named beau bc "beau" is like a slang term for boyfriend/lover/partner and his emotionally incestuous mother named him that

something ive noticed about johnny depp stans - and im sure others have already mentioned this - is that you'll see them go after any woman whos ever associated positively with amber heard and declare that these people are also inherently untrustworthy (and other names). like it's just so clear that it was never really about depp, not completely - these people are only looking for more women to hate and no amount of suffering on amber's or these other women's part will be enough for them

I will give JF credit bc when he does put in backstory/context it generally adds to the characters (and I have experienced the opposite too many times)
like when you first watch S4, you might not fully understand what Thomas’s deal with Nanny West is—you could even be forgiven for thinking it was 99.9% pettiness—but in S5 we get that one snippet of dialogue between Thomas and Baxter about his father
and now when you go back and watch S4 it’s impossible not to think, “oh this is something he knows about firsthand!!”
All of a sudden, pain ripples through your body. Like it's in your bloodstream.
If anyone’s wondering where I’ve been lately the answer is a) in a depression hole and b) listening to NeoScum which has basically taken over my thought processes entirely. This scene really struck me hard and I think was the first to actually make me cry irl. I love this dumb podcast full of boner jokes and characters barfing on one another one minute and exposing the darkest recesses of their emotional trauma in the next
PROOOOOBABly gonna be doing a lot of NeoScum art because I haven’t had a preestablished group of characters grip me quite as much as these weirdos have in a long time
my professor made a really good point that white/nonblac ppl sharing violent videos/images of black people being killed/assaulted on social media is akin to people going to watch lynchings. its a social event and a form of entertainment. we all know by now that there are ways to share that violence is happening without having to reproduce that violence and potentially retraumatize people so like...consider that next time you want to share a video of a police shooting
hm. dont take my word for it but i definitely do think that like in communities of color abuse is so normalized to the point that its just seen as acceptable like you dont even think of it as abuse so much as just. stuff that happens like its normal its happened to you it happened to your mother it happened to your father so it just makes sense for the most part, for the abuse to be so ingrained in culture so as to be tradition and literally most abuse victims of color dont even think of it as abuse and will most often laugh when told that they were being abused like i remember my therapist telling me “so you were abused” and i said, very clearly, no i wasn’t. but then he pointed out that both physically and mentally whatever id been thru was quantified as abuse and it just. got me thinking. i know of so many people whove been thru the same stuff i was or worse and how whatever they were going thru was never classified as abuse. just as punishment or discipline and like. i dont know. i wish it wasnt such a significant part of any kid of color’s experience to be abused ):
donnie idk what to do, i feel terrible. i got into a huge fight w/ my fps and left all the chats i was in with them because ive been feeling left out all the time lately, and one of them immediately posted on their vent blog comparing me to their abusive ex. i miss them already and feel awful but ive messed up so bad, im all alone now they were the only people i had left
I do recommend reaching out to them. I can’t v specific advice just from this, but in general apologising and taking responsibility, but also expressing that being compared to their abuser hurt.
