Yes I Am Full Of Love But Also? Insurmountable Rage

ngl i’m disappointed in the direction they took for the end of cruel summer

Hey, as an American, if you Aren't one maybe you can show some fucking sympathy to the people who are going to suffer right now. The amount of posts I've seen from non-americans saying shit like "lol greatest country in the world" and essentially laughing at us is not fucking comforting and can be really upsetting. Acknowledge that this is going to hurt us (we certainly fucking have) because we didn't just lose Roe v. Wade, we lost so much more. Read the fucking room for once.

I genuinely thought Lester Pocket was someone they'd introduced in like season one and was waiting for some context clues to remind me about him all the way up to the Harlan reveal where I realized that I am in fact very slow

worst part about not rewatching early seasons before a new one drops out it's bc i immediately accept whatever new information as something ive already seen before. the jennifer incident? harlan using lester instead of his own name? abigail??? i assumed all of that appeared on the first two seasons and moved on with my life.

In light of the Velma show being terrible, I give you what the world really needs: My insanely smart face-serving cat Velma <3

Please don’t flirt with me or I’ll start imagining a lifetime of happiness with you

I hate EA. 

Like.

I want to play my games not sit here for hours trying to figure out why my account won’t work anymore for some reason???? 

The spirit of Diogenes is alive and well

I spent so long being told/believing that I had to have a rational reaction to everything despite the fact that I am in fact a walking talking well of emotions

CRUEL SUMMER SPOILERS BELOW

I’m really annoyed about the Jeanette reveal because everyone calling Jeanette shady for doing things that actually made sense was validated. Like… the girl had a mother who was also constantly seeking validation and approval of more “popular” girls (see the post-yoga scene, Jeanette’s mom was also very excited about the Wallis girls in general bc they’re celebrity-adjacent), she was bound to want to have the Kate Wallis life and openly admire her. They had an opportunity to show that sometimes ppl have behaviors we don’t understand that aren’t harmful while people who seem to act completely within social boundaries do cause harm. Now little things like “Jeanette was excited to find out gossip about the popular girl being missing because she thought having this info would give her social gain” turns into “Jeanette was excited Kate was missing”.

They made it a story of two girls against each other and jealousy instead of letting it remain a story about the ways adults can be more interested in clout and social standing than the safety of their kids. We got one scene of Kate confronting her mother about how she taught her to be obedient. One. We had that “scary story” scene which was unexplored. The adults in this show invited a man to SLEEP OVER at a lakehouse-cabin-thing with their MINOR CHILDREN and they’d just met him.  

Maybe I’m overreacting because I was the harmless socially ostracized kid who just wanted to have friends, and I was groomed by a “trusted adult”, but i feel like turning Jeanette into a villain really takes away from the fact that adults failed both of those girls.
