Being 10 years old and making your debut in epigenetic trauma research all because you noticed your caterpillars still loved you after becoming butterflies is so profound and poetic and impressive. I love children and their incredible hearts and minds!!!!!!
Actually, it’s more like:
Men: “What if your girlfriend was insane?”
Women: “What if someone you thought was a friend actually violated your autonomy and ability to consent so he could take advantage of you?”
Modern parents suck so badly and are ruining their children because of it.
"Hey, baby, the nurse is just going to talk too you for a minute, to check that you're safe. If there's anything you want to ask without me there, now is a good time. I'll be right outside."
it’s actually insane when you defend skyler white and people bring up the craziest shit like “sorry i don’t like a CHEATER” like you’re literally rooting for the man who is selling meth and killing people please save it
The worst part is Skyler got the money for his cancer treatment in episode 1 but Walter turned it down and felt emasculated. It was never about the money and cancer that was the point of the show
i don’t think anyone has mentioned it yet, but there’s an aura of innocence and warmth in Emma that Zendaya captures so perfectly. she makes you believe that her “worst mistake” is something she truly regrets and would never repeat. she’s grown; she’s learning how to build relationships, and second chances come naturally to her. she’s always willing to offer them (not just to charlie, but to her friends) because these are her first real connections, and she cherishes them deeply. even if they can’t forgive her, she’ll still be there for them.
Definitely also added to his hypocrisy — British people being astounded at American gun violence as if they haven’t managed to colonize half the world for centuries. Being mild mannered does not equal non-violent
Charlie being British is an important detail of his character. Cops in the UK don’t even have guns and that cultural context definitely added to why he was so freaked out
this scene in the drama really stuck with me because charlie, as an outsider, is the one who actually names how normalised gun culture is in america.
growing up surrounded by it through news, media, everything… it shapes what feels “possible” in a way people don’t want to admit.
the more i think about it the more the drama feels like it’s also about who gets the benefit of the doubt. who is allowed complexity, who is reduced to their worst moment, and who gets to position themselves as morally superior.
