christmas with oitnb women

(outside of prison)

includes: ouija, zirconia and taystee

word count: 1k

a/n: consider this a late christmas present ;) enjoy and happy new years guys ❤️, reader is fem / gender neutral

Ouija

she's actually somewhat of a Grinch

around Christmas time, she's just in a bad mood, not feeling very festive

but if you really like this holiday, she'll try her best to get in the Christmas mood

I can imagine her wanting to decorate the Christmas tree in darker colors or not wanting a Christmas tree at all

tries to convince you not to put up too much decorations bc if she sees another santa figure or tacky baby jesus crib, she swears she will lose her shit

will probably be really into mistletoes bc that just gives her an excuse to make out with you

she will do her impressions for you on Christmas Day, since you love them so much

one of those people who goes shopping for Christmas presents last minute

doesn't want to admit it but gets Christmas stressed pretty easily but not bc she wants christmas to be like perfect but bc everyone is making such a big fuss out of it and constantly asks her whether she's in the ✨mood✨ yet and if she still needs to buy a Christmas tree and whether she's bought presents yet...

don't go ice skating with her bc this girl has no balance at all and will basically cling to you the whole time you're on the ice

also, spending time with her son miguel!!

I can imagine it being hard for her to get custody of him back after being in prison and committing WIC fraud

But if you do succeed you'll probably both make this the best Christmas you can for him and spoiling him with presents <3

also the Christmas season would probably be a lot about her winning her son's trust back (since he saw that video of her being aggressive to the guards taken hostage during the riot and the poor boy is probably traumatized)

probably isn't the most emotional around Christmas time and doesn't really care about the reflective / contemplative aspect of Christmas

just wants you and her son to have a fun time

will threaten any christmas carolers that knock on your door and if they dare sing their bullshit jingle bells, best believe hands will be thrown

she thinks the grinch is the most hilarious movie

also, will get aggressive whenever she sees a fake Santa trying to lure her son into sitting on his lap

probably thinks dude is a pedophile targeting him

so she isn't the best at giving gifts so her Christmas present to you will probably be something like a coupon

also REFUSES to go to church on Christmas bc she just isn't religious and also doesn't want her son to be

one of those ppl who would and will eat fast food on Christmas and do something like going to a trampoline park or theme park

Zirconia

this girl is HYPED for Christmas!

and when I say HYPED I mean she's already going Christmas shopping on the first of december, decorating your living space all christmas-y, baking cookies (which she burns, oopsies) and forcing you to wear Christmas sweaters

If you live in a village and have a house, she will probably get in a petty competition with the neighbors over who decorates their house the best

she will go all out and buy inflatable santas, colorful and flashy fairy lights, garlands

bc ain’t no way is she going to let this asshole of a neighbor win this competition

will probably make it into a newspaper bc of her over-the-top, completely exaggerated decorations on your house

you will probably wake up in the middle of the night bc the lights that she brought were too bright or bc you found out that one of the inflatable reindeers she bought can actually sing Christmas songs

like ouija, she will love mistletoes

and probably also the fake santas at the Christmas market

will also probably believe that dude is real

best believe she will watch all of those cheesy christmas Hallmark movies with you and still be surprised when Janet and Hunter get together at the end

also complaining about the lack of wlw representation in those movies!!

loves all the Christmas treats and definitely has a sweet tooth

Anyway she's so excited for Christmas and just wants to have loads of fun with you! ❤️

Taystee

kind of like Zirconia, Christmas would be fun with her but also very emotional

it would remind her of all the christmases she had spent with Vee, in a foster family or the christmases in Litchfield

she would be in a very melancholic mood and reminisce about her childhood

I can imagine she would love jazzy Christmas music

just something that she could dance to

would love to invite some of your friends for Christmas (maybe some prison friends like Janae, Alison..)

she’d love to rekindle with them and would probably be very emotional when seeing them again

mourning the loss of poussey would also be a thing she’d want to do at Christmas, maybe lighting a candle for her or putting up a picture of her in your home

she's super open about trying your Christmas traditions since she's not really keen on implementing the traditions that Vee did with them when she was young

so she'd definitely be super happy to try some traditional food from your country for Christmas or anything like that

she's the best at gift giving and is super thoughtful

like Zirconia, she will also watch cheesy Christmas movies with you (remember she used to like watching this little girl beauty pageant series when she was younger which is also not that high quality tv but don't tell her that)

will just want a normal & relaxed christmas where she can feel safe and loved

will absolutely go to church with you if that's what you want but if you're not religious she will also not mind staying home & just chilling

she would love to go on a drive with you and look at all the pretty Christmas lights while drinking hot chocolate

if you have an old lady living next to you who is spending Christmas alone she would definitely be the type to invite her over so she wouldn’t have to be by herself

definitely the person who gets the meaning of Christmas (giving back and such)

around Christmas time she’d also want to help the less fortunate (assuming you two are more fortunate rn) like donating clothes you don't need anymore, helping out at the homeless shelter

and she's just the kindest to everyone around, even your grumpy ass neighbor who hates Christmas bc that's just who she is

merry christmas everybody and a happy new year!

Orange is The New Black: Seasons 4-7 Review. (Mild spoilers ahead if you haven't seen).

The prison industrial complex is fucked.

In 2023, I began watching for the first time Orange Is The New Black. One of Netflix's titans of programming, one of their first original shows to put them on the map, flew under my radar throughout its run. The first season aired when I was 12, and by the time it finished in 2019, I was more preoccupied with finishing high school than seeing their take on women in prison. But after starting it a few months back and finishing weeks ago, I can say it is a soul-crushingly good program.

Orange Is The New Black masquerades itself as a show that focuses on Piper Niven, a 31-year-old arrested for drug smuggling when in reality, its vision expands to a diverse cast of inmates, convicts, and correctional officers and examines how society treats incarcerated felons. The first season lays the gauntlet down by introducing not only Piper but other prisoners and guards who hold down the show for multiple seasons and even until its final season, for some. The second season introduces an antagonist that doesn't thrill me so much but does provide depth into issues plaguing characters who are becoming favorites at this point, like Taystee and Poussey. The third season continues to juggle multiple narratives with its massive cast to most success. The first three seasons are great, but I want to emphasize seasons 4-7 in this review as they were watched this year.

In season 4, the fictional prison of Litchfield receives an overabundance of new inmates, and new COs overcrowd the prison and overwhelm the current batch of inmates. Season 4 is notable for quite a few things. It introduces Judy King, a celebrity played by Blair Brown, whose charm and charisma helped elevate her to be one of my personal favorite supporting characters for that season. Alison, played by Amanda Stephen, becomes inmate Cindy's new roommate, and as her dynamic with Cindy grows from rivals to those getting along, she soon becomes a likable character. And finally, Brad William Henke, playing the new CO Piscatella, who I could not fucking STAND. Rest in peace to Henke, who did a superb job playing one of the most infuriating COs throughout the show and being a memorable foil to all the women in the facility. Season 4 was great as it heightened the tensions the prisoners harbored about their living conditions.

Season 5 was the culmination of heated tensions as after the death of a beloved character due to negligence from one of the younger COs, the prisoners overthrow the prison and run the asylum for the duration of the season. My only gripe with season 5 is that throughout the 13 episodes, we, the audience, are made to believe that everything that takes place happens within three days. To suspend my disbelief and believe that is too farfetched as the stories and events happening throughout are too abundant. If it was at least a week, it would be more believable. However, I believe season 5 to be my favorite of the seasons as it was the most gripping. As the prisoners hold the COs and the warden hostage, demanding to the media that they want justice for the murder of their fellow inmates and better conditions within the prison, I believe nearly every character played their roles to stunning results. Piper, who had been known for the past few seasons at this point for stepping in and wanting to help, takes an intriguing step back from the focus this season. Her story revolves around taking the time to relish the chaos before the status quo is reinforced by her on-again-off-again girlfriend, Alex Vause, played by Laura Prepon. Other characters follow suit by lounging and sleeping outside or barricading themselves in a commissary with snacks. Taystee and a small group of her trusted compatriots spearhead the initiative for change while a sizable amount of other inmates antagonize the CO hostages or cause their own brand of unique chaos. I love the show's expansive, diverse cast, and many of them were given memorable moments and demonstrated how human they all were, regardless of their reasoning for being incarcerated.

Season 6 was a slight step back.

The sixth season took a chunk of the prisoners we got to know after all these seasons and dropped them into a new prison after the riot settled. Favorites that we grew accustomed to were not seen again until either small parts in season 7 or the final episode entirely in small moments. These characters were missed, and their absence was felt wholeheartedly. In place of their absence, more characters were introduced to this new prison. The new COs were shown to be just as morally corrupt as the old ones, but the new prisoners introduced were so…uninspired. As Piper and the girls grow accustomed to their new quarters, they are dropped into the middle of a war between the prisoners of C Block and D Block. The rivalry stems decades ago from two sisters, who each run their blocks with everyone falling in line and following one of them.

They suck. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. They show the backstory of how the rivalry started. It's dumb, and not engaging, and the beef and every minute of this season dedicated to this storyline is forgettable. There's a character named Daddy who is essentially one of the sister's second-in-command, and she's just as forgettable as the sisters. Finally, there's Madison, called Badison by others, and she's more memorable than her other antagonistic counterparts, ironically, as she succeeds in being unlikable but fails at being compelling. She's notable for being rude to others and having a bad Boston accent. When the series is not focused on any of those four characters, then the sixth season is decent. Unfortunately, it's the major story driving that season, so it's definitively at the bottom of my seasons if we ranked them.

Luckily, season seven picks up as the sisters end up killing one another by the final episode of season 6, while Daddy also perishes, and Badison gets transferred to another prison early into season 7. The seventh season is arguably the most depressing, but has its moments of hope and optimism with certain prisoners finding freedom literally or in a spiritual sense. The final episode is such a mixed bag where the bad guys essentially get away scot-free from their terrible moments, but some others find freedom from the shackles that tied them down for so long.

From start to end, Orange Is The New Black offers a meditation for the viewer. Rethink how we look at the prison industrial complex. For seven seasons, these women are shown brutalized, beaten, and destroyed until the husks of their former shells, or dead. There are women who don't even deserve the treatment given but are punished nonetheless because the system in place is flawed. This was one of the toughest shows I've watched in my lifetime for how crushing it could be, and yet it was also liberating. 4/5. A great show that deserves to be watched if you haven't already.

Unpopular OITNB opinions because I’m bored and procrastinating

I had little to no interest in Taystee and found her outright annoying at times. She was okay in the earlier seasons and my idea of her was that she was good character that I didn’t like due to personal preference. However, in the later season, I felt that she could be irritating, irrational and depressing in an unenjoyable way and that she got far too much screen time for what I considered to be a rather dull plot.

I find it hilarious when people try to complain about people on the show being mean or bad people. Like yes, that’s why 99% of them have landed themselves in prison. The funniest examples of this complaint are when people say that Lorna, someone who grew up Italian-American in New York, could sometimes say racist things or when Flaritza, two girls who probably couldn’t even legally drink before they went to prison and, in Maritza’s case at least, didn’t seem to have parents who cared for them, could sometimes be bitchy and immature. These comments are even funnier when whoever says this then goes on to say that they love Frieda, Carol and Barb.

In my personal opinion, Season 2 was the best season quality-wise but Season 4 was better when it came down to drama and entertainment. Season 3 was actually one of my favourites aside from Alex’s whole paranoid arc and I didn’t really mind the panty storyline. Season 1 was obviously good, if a little slow and boring at first. Season 5 shouldn’t have dragged on for so long, if they were only going to cover three days, although I probably would have enjoyed it if it hadn’t felt so absurd and weird compared to previous seasons. Season 7 was depressing trauma porn from start to finish and Season 6 was dreadful n every single way and a terrible conclusion for the riot.

I felt like the family dynamics became way less cohesive it’s the show progressed and people that had once gotten on perfectly well were suddenly at each other’s throats and vice versa. A good example of this was Spanish Harlem which went from a clearly outlined family where Aleida and Gloria acted as parents, Blanca was not a part of the group and the other four ( Maria, Daya, Maritza and Flaca ) pretty much did whatever Aleida said. Contrast this to Season 4/5 where Aleida leaves but Flaritza and Maria don’t seem to even notice, Gloria just let’s Maria have control over Harlem with no complaints whatsoever, Maria and Maritza seem to be at each other’s throats one second and back to there seemingly rather good Season 2/3 friendship the next, Blanca is suddenly an active member of the group and Gloria only cares about Daya. This faulty dynamic is true for all of the other groups as well, and never gets the chance to recover after they are sent to Max.

I didn’t like how some of the seriously traumatic stuff that happened to some of these characters, especially in Season 4, was never addressed by the show again and seemed to forgotten after the episode ended by both the writers and the character themself. You’re telling me that Maritza was creeped on, forced to eat a live animal, held at gunpoint and repeatedly harassed but she bounced back after throwing up like twice and hugging Flaca. In reality, she would probably take a long while to recover or feel truly comfortable in her own skin again, maybe even experiencing some PTSD, which could have been an interesting storyline to take her character down through Season 5, instead of relegating her back to comedy bits and pop culture references.

That’s all my opinions for now, although I will probably make a Part 2 for this post. Hope you agreed with at least one of my takes and that you don’t want to kill me for some of the things I said.
