It’s So Interesting To Watch Harry Potter Fans Continue To Try And Distance The Series/characters From

*wrinkles nose* shouldnt you be repressing that

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

Fanfiction literally cannot "normalize" anything. Fanfiction is a weird little niche and fics are not something with massive cultural impact.

my laura lee headcanon is that she was molested as a kid. maybe from inside the church or from within her family. it’s just a feeling.

i don’t know about y’all but what happened at the pool always felt intentional to me. the look on her face before she dove in head first was all too familiar. and the way she clings to her innocence? it’s very common for victims who have repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse.

coach ben in the afterlife, watching shauna imprison people without cutting their ankle tendons:

thinking about the sirens in suits/suit adjacent clothes plus a little genderswap moment... ;-; just for me

rest in peace to the funniest mfs on this show, they hate to see a bad bitch living

Natalie is the only one who never allowed herself even the illusion of normalcy or happiness after the rescue. The others made some attempt—however fragile—to rebuild their lives or blend into the world. Shauna and Melissa retreated into the façade of stability, marrying and raising children in the quiet rhythms of suburban life. Taissa found a family of her own and pursued a successful career as a lawyer and then a politician. Van poured herself into her pop culture passion by creating her video store and allowing herself to live through the past. Misty satisfied her need to be needed through her career as a geriatric nurse. Lottie created her cult (intentional community). Even Travis tried to build a life with someone (before Nat came back in).

But Nat never created anything for herself. She didn’t even let herself have a home, she lived out of motel rooms across the country for her whole life. She remained completely alone apart from toxic stints with Travis that ended disastrously and brief flings that she sabotaged before they could get anywhere.

Even though she’s colder, harsher, and less openly compassionate in the adult timeline, her moral compass is still strong. It's that very sense of right and wrong that condemns her. She can’t accept joy, can’t allow herself peace, because deep down, she believes she forfeited her right to those things in the wilderness. Every chance at connection, every moment of possible happiness, she sabotages—because she’s still carrying the weight of what they did, and she doesn't believe she deserves to ever put it down. While others try to bury the guilt of what they did out there, Nat wears it on her sleeve.

She’s the closest thing to a “savior” or “saint” in this story, but that’s exactly why she suffers the most.

this scene KILLS ME because jackie is literally ranting about natalie’s sex life. she is yapping to travis about nats standards and what she does in her free time. she canonically keeps note of everyone nat hooks up with and is bothered by it like….she is so chalant that it’s hysterical.

she is so insanely bothered by nat hooking up with people that aren’t her. why else would she give a fuck what nat is doing. this is supposed to be some malicious, nat-bashing scene when in reality…it’s just jackie taylor wanting natalie scatorccio soooo fucking bad. she wants her SO BAD that she’s COMPLAINING about her STANDARDS.

i can see nat showing up to practice late ONCE and jackie turning red like one of those angry cartoons while she marches over to her. fists clenched and all.

“oh let me guess who it was this time. bobby? or was it that older scumbag you met at that show? or….”

and she just goes on and on…rambling angrily….WHOLE TEAM watching her throw a gay ass tantrum. pure gold.
