“I wanted to play Gabe, knowing that Gabe is going to be interpreted as a metaphor,” says Wolfe. “But as an actor, I had to play him as a person. For me, it’s a battle to be noticed, to be seen.”

ive only known n2n for like a day but i am seriously considering writing a video essay on my analysis of the story as someone with bipolar disorder with schizoaffective symptoms bc some people are truly showing they have no idea what it's like to be bipolar or experience delusions/hallucinations

[rubysapphrald]

i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people

[rubysapphrald]

people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!

[talontarget]

fun fact abt me. my arfid was actually protecting me from 5-7 severe food allergies that have all almost killed me in the past 4 years as i branch out and try new foods despite the Horrors

When the world that once had colour fades to white and grey and black. When tomorrow terrifies you, but you'll die if you look back.

NEXT TO NORMAL

[sleepboysummer]

"babying" a character is almost always referred to as a bad thing (as it usually represents infantilization as a result of lacking media literacy) but "babying" gabe goodman was the best staging decision ever made

[pawnyouoff]

goodman siblings, i will forever mourn what you were, and what you could've been.

do you ever think about Natalie who doesn't see Gabe but can feel his touch... because she has never met him yet she's all too aware of the immense grief looming over her family... she doesn't know who he is but she knows he's there...
