what the fuck the netflix version of bm cuts so many scenes and lines why did they do that
#i’m comparing the first episode to the version i watched#it’s like little scenes here and there so far but they skipped the whole phone call with dylan i think???#and when miss watson asks if everything’s ok at home and norman explain that his mom likes to start over a lot#they skipped that#a little bit of a bates motel blog#k posts
lately i’ve felt like moving this blog to be like it’s own thing/my main blog but it seems there’s no way to do it w/o losing Everything except exporting to a different website :|
[heavy spoilers]
sometimes i think of an au where alex/someone calls dylan after norma dies cuz like that’s his Mom and he comes over and stays with norman for a while and maybe emma too and it hurts me
uh i kinda rambled in the tags and reached tag limit for the first time so reveal them at your own risk HFKSJDHD
#alex tells dylan what he thinks about norman a la wanting to kill him bc he believes he killed norma#dylan thinks so too but obv doesn’t want to kill him and isn’t sure what to do except put him back in pineview#and alex is very angry but compromises with him to do the 2 family member signature thing#which dylan still feels bad about bc it was the last thing he and norma talked/argued about#so dylan still tries to talk norman into it so he hopefully doesn’t have to force him#and norman i think still has the delusion that his mom is alive and waiting somewhere#so he still brushes off pineview and tries to act fine and normal so dylan and everyone will leave cuz he believes she won’t come back#until he is alone in the house#he keeps asking when dylan and emma are gonna leave (as politely as possible) but they suggest they won’t til they know he’s going to be ok#(bc they’ve seen him unstable before when norma left s3)#which would probably mean ‘not until you’re in pineview’#they have the funeral but dylan takes over for it and doesn’t let norman have any control which is REALLY upsetting for him#bc remember originally he had full control and how that funeral went so that’s what he wanted#but dylan doesn’t even let him speak at the funeral and instead he and alex do and norman storms out#edwards also calls/visits bc duh his patient just experiences a major loss and why did they cut that out of the s4 finale#and maybe norman begrudgingly makes an appointment with him to keep appearances#but before he has it#he gets really annoyed with dylan treating him like he’s crazy and not leaving so one day he sits him down#and decides to let him in on how he thinks norma is still alive and she’ll come back#bc the thought makes him happy so why wouldn’t it make dylan happy?#but dylan gets really upset and kinda blows up at him and norman is like welp#but then dylan is like you’re going to pineview and norman says yeah i know i have therapy tomorrow but dylan says NO you’re going to STAY#and storms off to sign with alex#norman is uh Really Upset and feels like he messed everything up by telling dylan bc now it’s not a secret and he might get taken away#so how will norma come find him?#and uh. yeah it’s very upsetting#i thought about it this morning and cried for real#why do i like hurting my own feelings#a little bit of a bates motel blog#k posts

i know i literally made this post already but i’m still so shocked those lyrics from fucking MY IMMORTAL fit norman so well
“I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone / But though you’re still with me / I’ve been alone all along” LIKE???????????,
“When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears / When you screamed I’d fight away all of your fears / And I held your hand through all of these years / But you still have all of me” this is norma to norman/norman to norma/mother to norman THERE ARE SO MANY LAYERS HERE...

my drafts are full of random posts i find on my dash that i can relate back to bm/tgd (mostly bm) and spicy hot takes that i’m too cowardly to post 😶
merry late christmas the season 4 finale of bm still makes me bawl my eyes out if i think about it too much

@papasmistakeria @cardioasscular @thegoodbates so i have 3 updates about dorkzilla (i meant to tell you guys earlier, but i forgot to whoops)
1) she sits like this at random, like a littol smol bean
2) she doesnt understand me blowing into a paper towel tube
3) she seems to really like all the strange noises i make on the daily (she also likes to make noises back, especially if we get upset at her for something, like climbing on our beds when shes not supposed to)
in short, she is a quickly growing bean sprout who makes noises almost as often as i do
LOOK AT THOSE LONG PUPPY LEGS, A BABY

You misunderstand: I said it’s one of my favourite shows. I didn’t say I like it.
What does this even mean
The emotional experience that people are looking to get out of their media doesn’t have to be a happy or positive one. Some folks watch thrillers that make them anxious, or tragedies that make them sad.
For me, sometimes the emotional experience I want to get out of a piece of media is confused dismay.
