i’ve done a lot of whining lately because summer was unusually rough, so i figure i ought to share when there are wins, too. :) today i survived a healthcare phone call that i originally had to put off when covid stole my voice then rescheduled several more times because i’ve been so frustrated lately in trying to deal with doctors etc that i didn’t feel ready for more of that.

but it went really well!! my caseworker, whose name is lupe, which reminds me of odaat in a comforting way, clarified what i need to do for a second opinion in any situation like the one i’m in now where my doctor’s response to my worsening symptoms was ‘it’ll get better on its own just wait.’ (she was in fact overly helpful and kept explaining how easily i can choose a new doctor if i want--i don’t want to, lol, and already knew how, but i appreciate her thoroughness.)

i’m supposed to get a call this week from someone who will set me up with a therapist, which is a little scary because i’ve never tried to really have a therapist or engage in therapy. growing up i was everyone else’s therapist, reading adult self-help and psychology books for fun in junior high and letting my friends bring their problems my way, so i always felt like i could see inside the process too much when i did interact with therapists. but i think i’m finally in a place where it could help me and i could let it. so we’ll see.

that therapist will also be the person who can discuss my ARFID symptoms with me. my last screening for that went badly, partly because i panic with strangers and that led to me answering questions inaccurately and not realizing it until leander pointed it out later--and partly because the questions they asked me were for unrelated eating disorders and not as relevant to why i was seeking help, so when the experts consulted and said i didn’t need any help, it wasn’t a total surprise.

my caseworker will be telling them that i need to meet in person, so i can feel less rushed and ask for clarification of questions, rather than panicking like i did before and saying stuff that wasn’t even true. she’ll also tell them that i need my best friend with me for help with anxiety and memory support and self-advocating, which i’m deeply grateful for, because until my video screening the last time i didn’t realize how hard it is for me to talk about my eating habits without covering.

surprisingly i spent my whole life not knowing it could be a disorder but that didn’t stop me from internalizing the shame and trying to hide and minimize my problems in situations where i expect to be judged. and i have experienced crying autistic meltdowns in more than one medical office over the years, so healthcare professionals are definitely an area where i anticipate judgement. fingers crosses my future efforts are less traumatic and more effective, but either way i’ve regained some hope about the value of trying.

it’s so much easier to just not make the appointments and not follow up on things and tell myself that as long as i’m medicated and alive that’s enough, but i deserve more. and i hit a bad place this summer that means it’s time to move beyond easy, because i’ll never get what i want out of life if i’m not healthy enough to work towards it, which has kept me from even deciding what i want. for multiple issues, today was a good first step.

This has nothing to do with Marvel and is beyond off-brand for me but I’m too angry to care and I need a place to scream about this so

I. AM. SO. PISSED.

Netflix just cancelled MY FAVOURITE SHOW, one of the only decent sit-coms on Netflix and I’m just so freaking salty about it. It had great representation, talked about great stuff, and managed to be funny without being offensive which is so rare in a sit-com. I’m just so angry, it was a great show, it had so much support and yet it’s not getting enough viewers to warrant a fourth season. But it’s not like it’s trending on Twitter or another...

I’m sorry, I’m just pissed. Anyways, go watch One Day At A Time if you haven’t, because it’s a freaking amazing show and deserves so much more than this bullshit.

#not about Marvel #shitposting with becca #winteriron-trash goes off ig #because i'm mad ok?#one day at a time #it's a good flipping show #and it has #more than enough viewers NETFLIX #of course you didn't bother to advertise it one bit #but you know #god forbid we let a good show with great themes and amazing rep have it's time in the spotlight #no i will not shut up #i'm mad #odaat deserved better #save one day at a time

#ngl i forgot about him too until i rewatched s1 #but josh deserved better #one day at a time #odaat #josh #elena alvarez

So Victor doesn't want Schneider around the kids because he's drinking again, but then he still invites him to the wedding. I'm just really happy about Victor's growth. I'm assuming he knows Schneider went and got help again and that he's being supported by the family. So he doesn't want Schneider around the kids, but changes his mind because he knows what that's like, and that Schneider loves the kids and is trying to heal

I’ve thought a lot about Victor’s character, especially as I’ve been slowly rewatching the entire show recently, and I have to say that I, too, am pretty pleased with his growth in terms of his addiction. As a storytelling device, I’m likewise glad that he got a redemption arc to tag along to Schneider’s sobriety arc. A lot of what we know about Victor is him at his lowest and at the worst parts of his life and himself -- we see the anger and violence, the manipulation and the lies and excuses that are part and parcel of addiction.

Then we see him in season three, and we’re able to see (at least in part) the man with whom Penelope fell in love, and the man whose son adores him and whose daughter loves him still despite how deeply he’s hurt her and continues to hurt her. It’s a way to show us that addiction is ugly and it brings out the worst kind of ugliness in people, but that that ugliness doesn’t have to be forever. Those decisions and that behavior doesn’t have to define a person forever. Nothing is so broken that it can’t someday, somehow, however slowly, be fit back together again if the addict makes a sincere effort to turn their life around and make amends.

I also really like that even though he’s someone whose gotten his addiction under control, there are still a lot of places in his life he needs to work on, completely unrelated to his addiction. And that going into recovery is a step -- a major one -- in repairing that which he has broken, but it’s only the first step among many. I like that the show had Elena call out the fact that however happy she is for Victor and however much she loves him, there is still work to be done.

And I hope that the show continues to show that work, especially coming from Victor’s side. I couldn’t tell if the meeting he alluded to with Leslie was an AA meeting, but I wouldn’t be surprised. And if he’s committed to the principles of AA, then he’d have been required to do the fourth step -- a moral inventory where you detail your resentments and how you contributed to them, your fears and the harm that you’ve done to others -- and I bet it was that which forced him to really look at how deeply he hurt Elena and continues to hurt her. When I saw him asking her to dance at his wedding, I wondered if that was part of his ninth step -- making direct amends whenever possible. I’ll bet it was.

Again, recovery is a long, hard road that is a lifelong commitment. As is redemption. And I’m glad that Victor is on the path for both, and I hope we continue to see him work hard at both because it’s what he, his family and we the audience deserve.

#one day at a time #odaat #victor alvarez #i'm always up for a good redemption arc #and there could be arguments made for whether or not victor deserved his #but i'm always on the pro-redemption side #and he seemed sincere in his intent to recover and make amends #so i cheer for him #i cheer for anyone who is committed to being better than they were yesterday #and who shows that commitment in real and tangible ways #seventeenthcircleofhell

Alex fics

Okay, so I've been scouring through AO3 in the search of Odaat fics. In the fandom tag, which has about 400, there's 56 works that include Alex. That's a good number, right? No. Out of all of those, he's a minor character—sometimes even mentioned only—in all but six works. Only six works are Alex-centrix. Six.

The same cannot be said for any of the other characters. They have several works dedicated to them and I can definitely see why, but Alex is also an immensely interesting character. There is so much to explore about him. His struggle with racism, with toxic masculinity, with toxic friendship, peer pressure, trying drugs, how despite the fact he's a "womanizer" he's pretty much the only character without a love interest. His relationship with Elena, with his Abuelita. I haven't seen a single fic about how being the first person to come into contact with a relapsed Schneider affected him. Like...that scene was not pretty. For either of them.

Or how about how Alex and even Elena felt when their grandmother literally had a stroke? That wasn't easy on any of them. At all. Hell, even his multiple insecurities about how people see him are very interesting! There's so much stuff to go into there that just lies untouched. I know must people will tell me to stop whining and write it myself, which maybe I will, but that's not my point.

My point is that there's this amazing, strong character who lives to learn from his mistakes...that's pretty underrated. I get the rest of the characters are amazing, but damn. So is Alex.

#alex alvarez #lydia alvarez #penelope alvarez #elena alvarez #odaat #spoilers #save one day at a time #i just love him so much #he's so unusual and amazing #he deserves better
