^^Sorry but I don't fw that shit either.
i’ve been hearing a lot of talk about it and i just wanted to clarify bc i never made a dni (but that fact will change soon ;-;-;-;-;)
tw: proshipper bullshit (if you can’t read it bc of triggers i’m just asking any proshippers to unfollow if there are any)
please dni if you’re a proshipper/anti-anti (/ _ ; )
if you need a reason, it’s because the excuse of it being for trauma is bullshit; if that were really the case, you’d keep it private (even then, it’s still fucked up). i don’t want people on my blog who support inc-stual and/or p-dophilic relationships. fictional or not, that shit is nasty.
i’m aware that there are bigger issues to be worried about, i’m not stupid, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t one at all. i didn’t even know about the term until i made my tumblr, honestly, and i couldn’t believe that there are actually people out there who partake in this shit — get away from me
i’m sorry if i’m being rude, or if i’m not as happy as i usually am, i’m just really on edge right now with the accounts being brought up now along with the other that was being talked about the other day i jehandndbahhf
The highest compliment I can give a dress is: I'd kill to be absolutely railed in that dress to the point that my organs are rearranged and my head is empty.

hi! just a quick post i decided to make after a very eventful evening. i can’t talk for everyone, but there's something that people tend to do whenever i’m having a panic attack. i tend to shake my hands a lot, and tap them on any surface that will make noise. it is my way of keeping myself on the ground. most people come up to me, and immediately grab my hands. this does not help. in fact, i usually start kicking. shaking. yelling. anything that i can possibly do to make them let go. this makes whoever's there with me instantly go on the defense, which just elevates the situation. this has happened to me again, and again, and again. basically, stop restricting someone who’s already feeling compressed enough. you are not making anything easier.
thanks.
I like you analysis ,i have a interpretation of this short film where clair thinks that she is the responsible for the family being like this, well actually I saw this idea in a video that explained the short film but I shared it.
Every time I look at Jack Staubers Opal I’m blown away by the symbolism. For context; Jack Stauber made a short film in connection to Adult Swim. The story itself follows Claire navigating her household, where we are introduced to her neglectful family. It’s a really good short!! I recommend you watch it before reading this.
Tw: Child neglect, drug abuse, Nicotine abuse, lots of fantastical elements in connection with coping
I’m not gonna beat around the bush, this short is disturbing. Amazing, but disturbing.
Claire does not lead a comfortable life. When I’m comparison to everyone else, Claire is very obviously malnourished. In the Opal house, she has a burger in front of her. You expect her to eat the burger… but she dances with it. She has no idea what you even DO with a burger, she’s never eaten one. On top of this, when Claire comes back from looking at the sign, the grandpa say she SMELLS different, implying that she stinks. The house is littered with trash and papers. Grandpa and Moms living habits exasperate the situation, we see bloodied tissues and pill bottles everywhere
On top of this, we notice Claire isn’t even a person to her family, more of a tool. During the sequence where we see Claire’s face being molded, we see how she relates to the family. She’s the Grandpas eyes. She’s the fathers face. The moms pill.
The grandpa is blind and addicted to nicotine. He often wonders why it sounds so easy to breathe??? Much like Opal, he’s trying to cope through living in a fantasy. He imagines the people on the tv love him. The tv after all, is the only thing that stays with him. It gladly enables his behavior. Claire tries not to enable him, but unltimately she is the only one taking care of him. She hands him his cigarettes, even though she tries to hide them. She’s terrified of him, but she’s the only responsible one taking care of him
The father is coping through his narcissism. He has mirrors around him constantly because he needs to be SEEN. There are a couple lines hinting that his relationship with his wife is not great. He is just a small adult that’s trying to grow. He NEEDS to be perfect. He copes by looking at his mirrors and constantly grooming himself. Whenever we think he’s reaching out for Claire, he’s actually reaching for a mirror. Claire puts up with his behavior in the hope that one day he might reach for her instead. He is the safest adult in her life, and she isn’t even truly acknowledged by him unless it’s to boost himself
The mother is an addict and drug abuser. She is extremely aware of their living situation, and she thinks of herself as a martyr. Instead of trying to fix their situation, she has succumbed to her vices. She needs Claire to be her daughter, so she can feel some control in her life. Claire is the only innocent one out of all of them, and she NEEDS Claire to be her savior. She grasps at Claire because that’s the only reason for existing. Because after all, they don’t live. They survive.
In her real house, they only see Claire for what they need. They only use Opal as a way to boost themselves up. In the other family, Opal is SEEN by the other family. They love her. Her troubles are miles away.
The family that doesn’t exist loves and sees her more then her real one.
