Spare the rod

stranger things was slop post-s2 but there's a s3 scene that moves me: when max takes eleven shopping & prompts her to pick what "feels like her." & eleven is confounded. frustrating how people can comprehend the lab baby brain there but not w an adult who faced sustained abuse

[i. @honeyscrawl]

homelander's abuse is not really comparable to experiences of abuse in our world. much like vought is a megacorp with monopolistic dominance across every sector... it is illustrative. fiction is often a tool to depict inconceivable extremes of common human problems

[i. @honeyscrawl]

do we think the implication is that kid homelander arrived at liking manifest destiny very organically as all 5-yr-olds are wont to do lol. how much choice did he have when he suggested an american flag for his cape? how much choice did he ever have at all?

[i. @honeyscrawl]

@knight_at_arms in s2 but it was squandered :( & butcher's flashbacks of her are all very Naked Dead Wife White Sheets In The Morning it's by far the worst part of those first 2 seasons which are otherwise quite consistent

[i. @honeyscrawl]

it's genuinely crazy how booktok gets such a bad rep but every single booktok book i read in high school depicts the thrill & the trouble of loving a violent man with far more honesty than nearly any tv show w a male-dominated audience

[i. @honeyscrawl]

@knight_at_arms adding to my to-watch list! & yeah it feels more than a little dishonest lol it can be a sanitized romance for him to pull from to fulfill the masculine revenge fantasy. i just get rly frustrated by how thinly written everything around becca is, they had so much opportunity

[i. @honeyscrawl]

i mean i've said this before on here i think but all men read is slop too there's just an outsized fixation on booktok dark romantasy etc because Women

[i. @honeyscrawl]

yet another reason i will never partake in the meanspirited misogynistic jibes against booktok. at least the girls are self-aware about the mafia boss fantasies. if you were truly so ethically & intellectually offended you would not start w art for women let me tell you that lol
