If you showed this to a person from a century ago he wouldn't be confused like yeah these are hot topics, you would have a totally normal conversation with him.
TED LASSO (3x11) I’m guilty. Sorry, Jamie.
My family had a similar reaction and to this day I don’t feel entirely accepted. I know it could be a lot worse. But sometimes i just wish they would love this part of myself too.
I'm so very emotional about Ted Lasso specifying that "we don't care" is a a bad reaction to people coming out because that's what happened to me. I worked up all this courage and I coordinated to get my father, my mother, and my mother's boyfriend all in the same room, and my mother's reaction was, and I quote, "okay, get that scholarship in on time or I'll fucking kill you". And when I was understandably upset, some of my friends tried to convince me that I was overreacting because at least my parents weren't angry or homophobic. Being queer is a part of your identity, you can't say you "don't care" about part of your loved one's identity. Even if you're trying to show that your feelings for someone haven't changed, you're dismissing them. And just like Ted explained, you're leaving them alone.
PS, the story has a happy ending for me, my pediatrician found out how my family reacted and stood up for me to my mother, who I no longer talk to, and the rest of my family is wonderful and accepting
someone who doesn’t watch ted lasso wouldn’t understand why watching a man NOT spit at his reflection in the mirror for once is a deeply moving and personal thing to watch, but it is. it just is. 😭
I feel like they confirmed Andrew‘s Peter is bi, because no straight man would use peace signs unironically.
It feels like a satire. Or maybe reality is turning into an end credit scene for Barbie.
I can’t even be sad about it. I am not even shocked in any way.
That’s just how the patriarchy works.
The patriarchy really does win because how can Oscar voters nominate Ryan Gosling as Ken but not nominate Margot Robbie as Barbie and Greta Gerwig for directing?
Very happy that America Ferrera got a nomination though, she deserved it!
kendall embracing roman while pushing his cuts against his shoulder to split them open, offering him both comfort and punishment (and for roman they’re the same thing), roman hating ken and being comforted by it at the same time, kendall knowing it’s what roman ‘needs’ and also using it as a means to put roman in his place, making him subservient and small, roman letting out that groan of relief because he can’t deal with internal pain and emotions so he needs it to be translated into physical pain instead. sick
they took so much from me but they can never take away this shiv reaction
