Calling these humans "characters" is why I say it's so easy for fans to dehumanize the cast. Also, people in the quotes need to be careful applying a research and behavioral analysis in these shows because what they're watching are edited footage of people in extreme conditions
y’all digging up old photos of melanie when she was “bigger” to psychoanalyze her current behavior is weird as hell. especially when she’s valid and sincere is a seasoned cheater who knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s just subtle about it.
for centuries literature was obsessed with loves that consumed people whole. now everyone wants healthy relationships. whatever happened to devotion, obsession, possessiveness, the desire to devour someone’s body and soul? what the hell is all this healing shit anyway
I had a realization a few years ago that I don't need to figure out why this person is doing a certain behavior I dislike. All that matters is I know I don't like the behavior and I can leave
i have a gigantic fucking problem with anyone trying to tell me what to do or who i am/who i am not. it actually triggers a viciousness in me. my identity is defined by me, my choices are made by me.
it's interesting that the CIA guy writing this is clearly vested in making the IRA look as bad as possible but it still comes out looking like the brits were the bad guys
the way people need for the pope to be a distant and mysterious figure instead of a human being is so :// like are you really here for the faith or just the aesthetic yk
There’s a great scene in Downton Abbey about the first time the King of England did a radio address in the early 1900s. The matriarch of the family nailed it on the head when she said that the radio address would lead to a place in culture where the mystery, aura, and majesty of the crown would be downgraded to a kind of sideshow act. This obviously has come true in the modern age.
I wish the Pope spent far less time in front of cameras and crowds for this very reason. I don’t want the successor of Peter doing the ‘6-7’ like a mindless teenager. This all cheapens and lowers the office that Christ established. I want him in the Chair of Peter with the Papal Tiara on his head.
