I’m fully convinced that whenever people strongly dislike a character, it’s because there are specific traits about them that either:

1. they subconsciously relate to and hate about themselves, or

2. trigger them because they’ve met someone similar before and aren’t on good terms with them now

At least this is what I’ve noticed for myself tbh

I keep seeing posts from some people - not a lot, but some - that are all bothered and twisted up that things are loose-ended for the season finale of season two. Y'all, please dust off your media literacy caps?

No, Lute's shit wasn't speed-ran and resolved by the end of the season. FUCKING GOOD! We are seeing build up! We are seeing character development! Which, can I remind everyone, is hard to do in an 8-episode run time?!

Yes, the Vee's are still kicking. They might come back as a sub-plot in a later season. Sub-villians? Redemption without hotel interference? Just being their own thing? Who knows! One of them not dying subverted our expectations, since that was a huge fan theory. While not everyone is mad about it, I've seen enough people be mad that I've gotta at least point out why I'm not, alright?

Guys, we got green-lit for season 3 and 4 before season 2 even aired. Do you know how often that happens in the streaming age?! It gives the writers more freedom to write cliff-hangers and build characters and let suspense grow, rather than rush to tie everything in a neat little bow because the next season is not guaranteed. So many shows have been cancelled on cliff hangers to a huge fan-base of dismay and I can't imagine Vivzie and co. ever wanting that.

It sounds like the ideal dream is a build up to a 5 season series, and if you love this show, then please celebrate the cliffhangers, celebrate how slow a character develops over time, show the studio big-wigs that we want to see more character development and see this suspense pay off in the long run. If not for Vivzie, cause I know some people can't stand her and her works, than for other indie creators that have been way less fortunate. Indie creators that strive to be where she's gotten. Please let media get the development it deserves.

Last night I was reading a friend's post and I remembered the first generational clash I had with my psychiatrist.

We were talking about my schedule so he asks me "Tell me, why don't you do something to distract yourself in your free time?"

And I was like "My what?" so I said "I study and work doc" thinking that explained it completely, but when she responded by saying "Yeah I know, but I mean, your free time, when you're not studying or working, on the weekends for example, what do you do on the weekends?"

Then it dawned on me… she must be about mid-40s, which means she has been a doctor for about 20 years… she has no idea what the working and studying conditions are like nowadays.

I know because my parents have told me about it and because sometimes adults like to make comparisons about how everything used to be better and how now the world is going to hell, adults remember their past but don't always keep up to date (in the right way) about the present day.

My psychiatrist doesn't know that I study from 7 am to 1 pm, and that the rest of the time I use to work until 8 pm, he doesn't know that most of the jobs that an inexperienced teenager can apply for require you to work 8 or 12 days from Sunday to Sunday, he doesn't know that teachers leave insane amounts of homework because they think that if you leave a student with free time he will do something other than study and that will mean he is wasting time, not to mention the overly long subjects that are assessed in a short period of time, doesn't know that your parents expect you to do all the chores around the house, doesn't know that the economy is so bad that even though you are working and studying full time you still don't earn enough and you feel frustrated because you don't have time to do anything else to earn money while all the adults tell you that you are being lazy, doesn't know that feeling of guilt when you are watching a series or a movie or reading a book and suddenly you think you should be doing something productive. .. she doesn't know that when you're 20 you have to work so you can study and study so you can one day work at something that doesn't make you want to kill yourself on a daily basis.

She understood that when I explained it to her, I admit I was surprised, but what surprised me the most was when she later told me "Your [your generation] need to understand that you can't solve everything, I don't understand how you are unable to accept being wrong or failing, not everything has to be perfect and not everything has a solution… and that it's not your fault".

One of the good things about Ghost becoming more popular is that my friends have finally started to get interested in the band, and so we've been talking about Ghost a lot. My favourite part? Watching them walk down the mystery trail that is the band, like, they have me as their guide but they still go at their own pace checking everywhere for information and trying to learn the lore and traditions

Ghost relies a lot on theories and their own stories that are being created around the mystery of the band, so it's great to be creating and showing them the possibilities, it's amazing to see them discovering a new world bit by bit.

Related to last post, there was once this ginger soda that was made, the first batched I pretty sure it was that was made by these people. It was very strong, my parents didn't believe it was as strong as the rumors had said but I've never seen someone get the wind knocked out of someone that quick before.

Awkward moment when you want to tell people your making art for your Tumblr blog but then you realize it's probably for the best they never find out.

Reason while I will never be able to stream is not because of my English but because of how bad I blend words together. Like I say bed and people hear bread. (Its funny but sometimes makes life difficult.)
