More unsolicited opinions about The Bear s2 but I think the thing that annoys me most about Claire is that her character does such a disservice to women in the ER/Hospital environment and field. I live in a major city, I have friends who are ER doctors in said city and it's unbelievably stressful. The things that they see and hear, how a night can go from easy breezy to treacherous in 6 seconds flat and the dissociation of emotions that you have to do just to get through a week sometimes, it’s rough. The job turn over rate in the ER is high for a reason. And then they bring in a character like Claire who just doesn't seem to represent that at all.
Especially for a show like this where they typically do so much research and you can tell that they put so much into making sure that the characters feel very integrated in “real life”. She never really tells Carmy about her day, be it her stresses or her wins, because she was just so wrapped up in him (which is lovely and all) but it just feels like such weak writing in my opinion (Does she even pass the bechdel test?). I really wish they just explored more of the topic of sexism, misogyny and condescension in the medical field or her family or what brings her character joy (outside of a man) because without it she's just a beautiful woman who's one dimensional as hell when hard work and determination are character traits that are required to be a fucking ER doctor.
I just really wish at some point she told Carmy to shut the fuck up about the restaurant or just take the reins in one of their interactions. Like if I had called my friend on a day we were supposed to hang out and chill from their VERY BUSY schedule and asked them to drive me somewhere to drop something off they would probably drop kick me in the face and I just wanted that energy from Claire. At least once.
something something gorgug’s “mindless rage” ability negating the charmed and frightened effects and returning him to clarity and how said clarity matches up with the themes of rhythm and concentration and the “a-ha!” moments that are all too characteristic for an artificer. i love you forever gorgug
thank goodness for bsd wan and the existence of teacher dazai. where would i be without you
based on a real-life conversation that happened with me and my students when i was a kindergarten teacher. very small children are some of the most ruthless and funny people i've ever met. it's an absolutely lawless land in the classroom (they were very sweet though!)
Loki literally stares directly at Mobius for almost 10 full seconds before announcing what his time slipping is really about. Sylvie is behind him the entire time and Loki only turns around to say he can rewrite the story, to tell Sylvie what he’s already decided to do. There is absolutely no doubt who Loki is referring to when he discovers what’s really driving him.
