relating to marianne sheridan is feeling awful about yourself until someone wants you, needing someone else's validation to feel good but never getting it, hating yourself but also thinking you're the smartest person in every room, achieving but things that don't even matter that much to you just to prove to yourself and everyone around you that you can, the constant need to show everyone that you're worth something but still always feeling like you're never doing enough, wanting to work more but not being able to make yourself do anything, gifted kid burnout, feeling alone most of the time, feeling like you were born sad and can never be truly happy for a longer period of time, wanting to end it but being in love with life...

okay, but, like, I feel like we need to emphasize more on how important it is to have a partner you can just talk to. I was telling this to someone the other day, but Hollywood and media focuses so much on sexual tension and explosive passion in a relationship, and while those are completely valid and understandable things for certain, not all, people to desire (even I myself do), I feel like there’s barely enough light casted onto the value of being able to converse with your partner and relish in their company even in the most neutral discussion. I can barely count how many films, particularly romance ones, have emphasized on the importance and value of being able to speak to a partner like they are your close friend, and being able to absolutely adore their company, and engage in conversation with them about anything and everything, even if it isn’t romantic. Lexi and Fez, Aristotle and Dante, Marianne and Heloise, Jesse and Celine, Connell and Marianne. so many people adore these couples because they showcase such a human, genuine connection through conversation. Lexi and Fez discussing God and the backlash of social media. Aristotle and Dante’s talks on finding identity and how life feels better when the shoes are kicked off. Marianne and Heloise debating over what it meant when Orpheus turned around, and the release found within music. Celine speaking to Jesse about how the media is controlling our minds and how she thinks she really loves someone when she can detect every detail of them, Jesse speaking to Celine about when he saw his deceased grandmother in the sprinkle of a hose and the things he remembers his parents having said to him. Connell and Marianne sitting under the summer sun, eating ice cream, discussing the differences in their class and how money can be simultaneously corrupt and indescribably appealing. all of these couples have made me realize how while passionate kisses under the rain and loud proclamations of your love for someone are valuable for certain people, it is also inexpressibly important to find someone who you can linger in the passenger seat for just to hear what they thought about the movie you watched last night. someone who you take your time putting your shoes on for just to hear about the physical sensation they got when the second last line of your favourite song reverberated through their headphones.

when im all stressed out and im like 'okay let me watch a comfort series for some time' but the comfort series is more stress inducing and i just end up more depressed but atleast i felt something for a while

I could write a whole essay about the fact that Dex says “I was talking to you” to that dancer after Emma dies.

Emma was so much more than just his wife or the love of his life. She was arguably the only person that he could talk to honestly. And when she died, he had no one to talk to about his feelings about his grief. Because she was the one he always went to with that and now she’s gone.

I think this relates back to his relationship with his mom, who is probably the only person he saw himself in. And when his mom died, he didn’t know how to handle it. This is the same with Emma.

Emma was the most intimate, deepest relationship he had. And when he lost that relationship, he lost himself. When he lost Emma, he lost not only his past or his present, but the future they were building together, the future he envisioned for them.

And when he’s drunk on the anniversary of her death, he just wants someone to listen to him grieve.

ONE DAY

↳book > screen 

“If you muck me about, Dexter.” “I won’t-“ “I mean it, if you lead me on or let me down or go behind my back, I will murder you. I swear to God, I will eat your heart.” 

“I won’t do that, Em.” “You won’t?” “I swear, I won’t.” 

And then she frowned, and shook her head, then put her arms around him once more, pressing her face into his shoulder, making a noise that sounded almost like rage. “What’s up?” he asked. “Nothing. Oh, nothing. Just…” She looked up at him. “I thought I’d finally got rid of you.” “I don’t think you can,” he said.

Normal People (2020) One Day (2024)

Hunter and Crosshair's whole reunion, from start to finish, was perfectly in character.

Not everyone shows emotion the same. Not everyone talks the same or has the same habits. Everyone's way of expression is different. So it's very strange to me that when Tech told Omega/the audience he processes emotions differently everyone was praising, but when we see nuanced handling of emotions in other characters media literacy is suddenly dead.

No, Hunter is not the type to hug and cry it out, and neither is Crosshair. They are both very stoic, very stubborn, very scarred men. They are brothers. So the cheap shots, the anger, the ignoring each other for a bit, the way Hunter shoved Crosshair when he finally couldn't bottle it in anymore, it made sense. Heck, when Hunter's fist tightened I swore he was about to throw a punch. Actually I'm convinced he would have had it not been for the giant worm.

It took a life threatening situation and mutually saving one another for the brothers to get on the path to making ammends and rebuild their trust and their bond. I prefer this a whole lot over a simple "Oh I'm sorry" "Oh I'm sorry too now hugsies"

Because you know what? I grew up with an older brother too. We would argue and bicker, sometimes it wasn't a big fight but there were other times when it was. You know what the simple "I'm sorry" reminds me of? When mom noticed us fighting and made us apologize. The words were said but when we really made up as siblings was when we'd had some time to cool off, then started playing again, bonding again and the trust was restored.

This is not to say that all siblings are the same, of course they're not, but this is still a very classic sibling dynamic that was transferred to the screen with Hunter and Crosshair, albeit with a much more serious situation and higher stakes.

They are brothers. They act like brothers, and they will make up like brothers.

please have these awful low-res, but nevertheless enjoyable, shots of the boys' faces when Wrecker runs and group hugs them hgfdfghjkl

I won't forget that What? No hug for me?

Started like this:

I haven't had enough of Crosshair and Echo's dynamic.
