Ivan doesn't see Till either. Ivan doesn't see the way Till is loving him, in his own way, because he's fixated on the version of another ideal vision of love. Ivan didn't see the things Till did to keep him close when they were children. Ivan sees things for the surface level, Ivan sees Till for what he can give Ivan without giving Ivan a sign to look deeper. As blind as Till was to Ivan, Ivan was just as blind to Till in his own right

I've got so much I want to say about Polite Society. But I refuse to post anything too spoilery yet.
So one thing I will say is the way Lena's depression and mental health is written is incredible. So often when men write women with mental health issues they write this sort of "prettily struggling" womsn in a spiral.
(this infamous queens gambit scene comes to mind)
They're never allowed to actually be ugly or gross or even not have their hair and makeup be perfect.
Like beth here is in a pretty frilly top shes reclining in an uncomfortable fashion. Her makeup looks perfect and he cardigan is prettily draped over her shoulders. She's meant to be attractive. Her sadness is almost fetishised.
but then Lena looks like this
Whereas Lena's a WRECK. It's considered an achievement she showered. AND shes proud of herself for that small acomplishment. Shes angry. She destroys her work. She's dressed in sweats and pyjamas with either no makeup (if i remember correctly) or makeup that looks like it's been on for days. There's a scene where shes wandering aimlessly and just buys a duck to eat. And she does not eat it daintily or prettily (and no its not a chicken ppl seem to be confused).
I love that she spends all the first act in hoodies and pajamas looking like shes not washed in 3 days. It's just so good to see a woman direct another woman with depression. There's so much to be said about the male gaze and how it even impacts the portrayal of women going through crisis. The removal of that lens has created what I will argue is the most authentic experience of depression in a woman I've maybe ever seen. I literally cannot think of another time I've seen that.
Anyways Nida Manzoor I love you.

⚠️tw: depression themes; vaguely su*c*dal
I feel like if your depression is particularly bad one day and you tell Wanderer you want to "disappear" he'll be the one to understand your feelings better than anyone else. He doesn't try to change your mind or convince you otherwise, he simply sits down with you, holding you so rightly in his arms you wonder if he's doing to ground you or himself, and whispers, "if you disappear, I'll disappear with you."

you think about killing yourself. you think about going to bed at a reasonable time. you do neither of these things.
instead, you resign yourself to staring at the cracks in the ceiling—tell yourself that tomorrow will fix it. that a mouth to the underside of your jaw will fix it. that ginger shots or yoga or taking three deep breaths or patching the goddamned cracks in the ceiling will fix it. you've been trying to fix it—this gasping, hollowing sensation in the gore of your chest—since you were fifteen and bitter and lurching into traffic / into lovers you couldn't love back / into any scrap of warmth that would have you.
you take three deep breaths. you watch the ceiling. you let time pass through you like a knife.

Prompt #40
Villain being highly depressed after a traumatic event. He struggles to get out of bed, eat, shower, and even getting outside the hideout is difficult for him.
Hero notices when Villain starts to appear less and less often, leaving mid battle because "I don't really care that much afterall", and "What difference will I make".
So Hero starts letting him win from time to time, promising next time he will succeed. He encourages villain to fight and secretly watches over him to make sure it doesn't get much worse.
