remember in School of Rock where the black girl was afraid to say she wanted to be a singer because she was fat and didn’t want to get laughed at but Dewey was all “who gives a shit, I’m fat too and so is aretha franklin but we’re still valuable and we rock” and then the girl felt better without having to be told that beauty comes in all sizes or some other bullshit. thats the kind of body positivity I’m looking for. tell these babies that they’re worth a damn without tying it to any other arbitrary ideals

Can we please make "I'm depressed" a valid reason to out-of-the-blue fall off the face of the earth?

I'm not busy.

I'm not tired.

My plate isn't full.

I'm not swamped with work.

I don't have a cold or flu.

I'm not laying awake at night. (But I am sleepy throughout the day.)

Nothing tragic or traumatic has happened.

I nor anyone I know or work with is going through anything.

You didn't do or say anything wrong.

But I'm not sad, either. I'm not homesick or in mourning. I'm not angry at anyone or anything.

Nothing is wrong...

I just woke up and suddenly being alive sucked, eating became a dumb idea and nothing mattered. I canceled training for the next two weeks, making up a lie, saying I'd be out of town on business.

And I have no other explanation for that, but I don't [can't] say anything because the word "depression" might as well be "itchy" to some people.

"Here, have a mango. You like mangos, right? This should cheer you up!" But I'm not sad.

"Just think happy things!" But I'm not sad.

"Did something happen? You know you can always talk to me!" About what? I'm not sad.

It'll go away just as it came: on its own.

How long it'll stay in my system this time is anyone's guess.

But him giving her permission to take a rest, like you’ve earned the rest — oof, that really, really got me. That idea of you’re so strong… [she trails off] sorry, I get emotional thinking about it… but for someone to tell her, “You lived a great life and you were an incredible mother and you had all of this tragedy befall you, and you still made such a beautiful thing of all of it. And now you’re allowed to rest. I think just getting that [she starts to cry] permission from someone that she didn’t even know very well, but loved so much and held in such high regard really just went such a long way. And that, oof, that got me. Still gets me, obviously.

THIS IS US 🍋 (2016 - 2022)

there is a house built out of stone wooden floors, walls, and window sills tables and chairs worn by all of the dust this is a place where I don’t feel alone this is a place where I feel at home and I built a home, for you, for me until it disappeared, from me, from you and now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust...

No, Jack Pearson did not die because he went back for the dog. Technically, it was a heart attack brought on by smoke inhalation.

One he would not have had if he hadn't bopped around the house grabbing all the important photos and documents.

I get they needed to explain why they still had childhood photos and videos, but it just pisses me off so much. They could've just said they managed to salvage them somehow or there weren't that many.

It's similar to Derek and Amelia's dad. You have 5 kids. 2 are in the back of the shop. If the robber wants your watch, you give him the damn watch.

Two of the most infuriating, avoidable deaths in TV history.

Dumbass 1 & Dumbass 2. Sure, their kids have childhood photos and a watch...

But they don't have their dad.

Another post got me thinking that people tend to pick apart characters who aren't bad parents but ones who make mistakes and are human. While hyping up those that are just...unrealistically perfect all the time. And I do think a lot of times, these are people who had shitty parents in their own life and understandably want to cling to a parent who always done the right thing.

But as someone who also didn't have the best parents...I'd rather watch the ones who fuck up but take accountability and do better. Because to me, that's more impressive. We're all human. We're all going to reasonably mess up at some point. But that's not what matters. What does is how we handle it. Are we taking accountability? Are we working on becoming better people?

That's what I look for in characters period but especially those that are parents. In fact, I live for the arcs where they fuck up and do something because that shows who they truly are. Are they going to rise to the occasion and work to do better? Or are they going to fold and walk away? That's the true test for me.

So, yes. I love characters like Owen Strand, Rebecca Pearson, Lorelai Gilmore, Snow White (OUAT), etc. Because they fail then do better the next time. Which is all I can really ask for.
