My completely serious The Amazing Digital Circus theory is that the reason Jax treats Gangle so awfully is that she was immediately able to clock him as a William Afton kinnie when they met and he took that personally.
"I know that you took the things that mean the most to me" and "Maybe you should have fought harder for them" like....that's not about Raven. That's just not how you talk about a sibling. That's about Erik. Charles very explicitly (and understandably) feels he was abandoned, like Erik was able to just up and leave his life and take away the greatest love Charles had ever known without caring how much it hurt. And for Erik it's always been about wanting Charles to join him, wanting Charles to fight with him, maybe even wanting Charles to love him enough to say "screw the world" the same way Erik does. Charles is pissed because Erik took himself out of Charles' life on that beach and Erik is pissed because Charles chose the other side over him and let him go.
Have you noticed the rise of young adult aimed media lately? The other day I was discussing the topic with a very dear friend of mine who surprised me by saying that she doesn't mind that at all and will gladly watch shows aimed at a younger audience.
I've been thinking about that a lot - I remember shows and movies like The Devil wears Prada, SaTC, Shoppaholic etc that featured main characters in their 20s-30s but were enjoyed by teenagers as well. These days I feel like we get the opposite, with Euphoria, Stranger Things etc - shows with a main focus on (supposed) teenagers that are aimed at older audiences as well. Very interesting!
...and annoying to me personally since I don't really find (americanised) teen life very interesting or relatable. I might rewatch a show I enjoyed while I was a teenager and I have watched shows aimed at a younger audience because I knew they would mention a topic I care about a lot that isn't discussed in adult media most of the time - but it took a while before I convinced myself I wanted to watch that show badly enough to put up with first kisses and pop quizzes and spring dances. My friend, again, has a completely different view on that and mentioned that she will gladly watch The Summer I Turned Pretty for fun and relaxation - which genuinely shocked me (because I can’t relate, not because I’m judging her — or you, if you like those shows).
im kind of a mom against weed i dont think its good for your mental health i think thats a big cope. getting so high you're dissociating through and emotionally numbing yourself isn't treating your mental illness, its abusing drugs. nobody says this about alcohol curing their depression even though it's used in the same way to cope and has (overall ) the same negative effects
