I appreciate The Drama’s stance that in the USA it doesn’t take any kind of special psychopath to become a mass shooter. It’s essentially encouraged with no barrier to entry and the only thing that takes Emma down that road is like a few bad years. A moderate level of bullying and isolation. The only thing that pulls her out is like, a few good friends. A club.

She wants to kill people because like she’s bored and lonely. That’s genuinely it. And she sees no real irony or falsehood in her becoming a gun control activist because it’s as genuine as the first thing.

She really does seem to be immediately past that. She’s over it. It wasn’t about hurting people, it was about looking cool and having an impact on others. Being an activist fills the same role in her life.

It’s still terrifying that it was that close. As Charlie points out, if there are thousands of mass shootings a year, how many people in this country are there who wanted to or almost did but didn’t go through with it? No one at her school knew, except, like, didn’t they?

Everyone who grew up in the age of mass school shootings felt like it could be them next, any day, any time, maybe anyone. It became baked into our routines and casual consciousness. It’s all just happenstance that it wasn’t us, specifically. It’s pure luck.

was blown away by the pure HUMANITY of The Drama. the at times painfully awkward interactions, dialogue that actually feels like real life, down to the awkward and ill-timed laughs, charlie's crash-out when he kissed misha, while obviously in the wrong it's a realistic depiction of a breakdown, the fear of marrying someone you don't actually know pushed to the extreme, not to mention the realism of what being forced into a small bubble on the internet can do to a child, forcing them into the belief that this is who they are, then the quick turnaround when emma finds a group that pops that bubble.

The Drama (2026)

Slight spoilers but Emma having spent her entire childhood moving around never staying long enough to make friends or get closure from the bullying and her adult coping mechanism being "let's start over" was chef's kiss

My favorite thing about The Drama is Rachel's character because she reminds me of the kind of young person online who thinks the mere act of performing disgust or outrage at the morally wrong actions of someone else is somehow politically productive at all, or that it makes them a "good person."

Whenever I see someone disregard or disparage ideas of rehabilitation for people who have done (or in this movie's case, almost did) unforgivable things, I want to grab them and ask "what should be done, then?" Because, people like that do exist, in spades, and short of executing or imprisoning or Black Mirror White Bearing every person who's done or thought of doing something immoral, rehabilitation is probably the best bet for minimizing harm, right? (And if your answer to immorality IS execution or isolation... i do not think youre really the more moral one here...) But even taking out any potential empathy for the humans who do or think of doing immoral acts, sometimes, giving them the tools to lead a happy and fulfilling life are the exact thing that leads them AWAY from the potential acts of like, shooting up a school, regardless of how undeserving you think they are of that.

Its especially interesting because, in the movie, Emma had arguably done way more activism against gun violence than Rachel ever did, despite her cousin, but this means nothing. Emma's primary motivation for her planned shooting was bullying and the isolation she felt (and TCC tumblr), but it was when she found friends and real community and something else to invest her energy into, she was able to pull herself out of those dark thoughts and, like, rejoin society. And what does Rachel do when she finds out? Spreads rumors, and tries to isolate her. And, I say this not to victim blame, but to acknowledge that no one makes those big decisions in a vacuum and that understanding these things better is a NECESSITY for preventing them, which should be the fucking goal; that is exactly the kind of behavior that made her want to do that when she was 15.

HEATED RIVALRY 1.06 - The Cottage

[spiders-hth-is-an-outlier]

Okay, I've finally finished the hockey show, and I think it's kind of cute that Shane thinks they've taken the next step in their relationship and Ilya took All The Steps At Once and is now locked in for all time. Shane is still like "would you maybe come with me to see my parents?" and "are we saying boyfriend now, is that okay?" Meanwhile, Ilya Rozanov is over here like, I told you about my mother and you saw me cry during sex. Your family is my family. We're dying together. I'll pay for the tomb. There are no more questions.

I love my bisexual menace. 😈😂

In these more stoic cultures, it’s like, if I don’t know you, you’re not in. But the moment you are in, I will fucking die for you. Once Shane was in, Ilya was like, “You’re mine forever. I will do anything for you.” — Connor Storrie

this might be a hot take but i don't think riley (aubrey plaza) was being a homewrecker in the happiest season i think she was just hanging out with the only other queer person in the room in that conservative small town
