Hello, sweets, I'm Ella. I'm a INTP, a Ravenclaw, and a psychology/biomed major. My blog is just a bunch of reblogs and silly opinions! Credits to the owners and beware of spoilers!
i’m a big fan of how in richie’s episode the director used imagery and shot composition and atmosphere and all that to add elements of certain genre tropes to show how richie was feeling. like when he was going to this restaurant the horror lighting
and This Shot (soooo get out core)
and the music all contributed to this horror movie scene where you’re half expecting something to jump out from behind him because that’s how richie feels about this experience. it’s horrific. it’s a punishment. it’s daunting and scary and he hates it- he sees it like a horror movie.
and then right before the montage where richie learns to serve people, the like 90s action movie quick zooms onto his and garret’s faces really show his excitement and how he’s seeing this as the climax where the hero (him) finally gets to shine after all of his training.
it was such a cool way to show the viewer richie’s thoughts and perspective on the situation. major W by christopher storer + the writers

“ao3 should have an algorithm” ao3 should continue only giving me exactly what I ask for which happens because I know how to use the search, sort, and filter functions
Really fucked up actually that the “you are valid” culture which, usefulness and uh, validity thereof aside, was intended to provide some some perspective for people who may have been blamed for harmless things they could not control morphed into “if strangers on the internet do not constantly tell me I’m good and perfect they are the oppressor” and “even constructively and gently telling me that I hold some power and responsibility to seek a better situation is an unspeakably cruel act.”
Once, in an argument with my therapist about a decision I made to antagonize my mother, I snapped, “My feelings are valid,” and he shot back, “They’re valid because they’re real, but that doesn’t make them rational.”
It was a more nuanced and tailored conversation after that, but that particular quote struck me especially and made me realize how often I was conflating “valid” with “reasonable” or “justified.”
