The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol
you're falling in the trap!! it will be read by many people, many times, and it will live on in their memories. and maybe no single other human will match you in time spent dedicated to your story, but as a collective we will outlast you. acts of creation only grow when they are shared
upstead + relationship development (insp)
remember being ten and future plans were so far away? and now you have one foot into that future and nothing seems to be right and all you want is to step back but the past keeps crumbling as soon as it's made. there's no going back, there's nothing to go back to.
I'm watching cpd, and there are a few things that seem to annoy the f*ck out of me.
one; how voight always seems to be with or around hailey. She and jay are partners, right? So why are they not always partnered up together? From the second she stepped foot into intelligence, he's (voight) been, for lack of a better word, moulding/grooming her in his image. The entirety of s9 is just so gd horrible with this, he seems that she's basically having a mental breakdown over shooting that guy, and he does nothing to help her. He does, in fact, make it ten times worse. He doesn't want her to tell jay, he wants her to deal with it on her own and wants to be the only one in it with her.
as far as I'm concerned, jay should've beat the sh*t out of him, or buried him six feet under.
(and do not even get me started on all the sh*t he's pulled when it comes to jay. they're right when they say intelligence isn't a democracy. It's definitely a dictatorship.)
two; - let's be honestly with ourselves shall we? Voight doesn't give a flying f*ck about any of them. As long as he gets what he wants, and how he wants it, that's all he cares about. Of it makes him look good, more the better. They're not allowed to ask questions or have an opinion of any kind. If they say anything that goes against him or what he does, then he threatens to kick them off the team. he'll belittle them in front of the others. when hailey or jay does something that he would do, he'll scream at them, bully them, try to intimidate them, like he did with hailey in his office.
voight is a narcissist, a bully, possibly a sociopath, simple as.
- I'm glad jesse left the show, yes, his ending with abysmal, but at least jay isn't being treated like sh*t anymore. and, as of 11x13, or whenever hailey leaves, cpd will have ended for me.
the sooner voight dies or is put away for good, the better.

I don't really have much to add here, you've kinda hit the nail on the head.
He's a psychopath who has had zero character development in the ten years this show has been on air and it's just exhausting to watch all the other characters fall and turn into little puppets at the expense of propping this man up to look like a hero when he is in fact, the villain.
I, too, am glad they are both free from this show and have freed me, too. I stopped watching back after 10x12 and my "end" for these characters is long before then. Jay would never have done that to Hailey and I've just ignored everything that's happened post 9x09.
SO obsessed with Tracy's style and equally so with your page!! I just can't get over how perfect her wardrobe is as a balance of high quality pieces that have clearly lasted her a long time without seeming so big it's wasteful.
Ah, thank you! I totally agree - she has a lot of pieces that are items that won't go out of style so quickly and can easily be adapted with different looks.
I love her sense of style and do not even want to count the dollar amount of how much I've spent on pieces she also owns.
Hi!!!
I've been watching the last two seasons of PD at the same time that were aired. But the previous seasons, I watched in less than a month. So, I was very into the characters and not so much in what happened around the show and the actors/actress (there's a few Upstead moments that I would have cut off my left arm for watching them at the same time with the fandom).
Your point of view of the show, and your fics are so clever and creative, that I would like to know your opinion about the question that bothers me.
What is the reason why there's not a real friendship between the female characters?
Not with Erin and Kim. Not with Kim and Hailey.
The few episodes with Vanessa and Hailey have more love and care, than the 7 seasons with Kim and Hailey.
Is it because of the script? The nature of the show? The imperative drama?
Hailey never had a real confident besides Jay, and Kim...she even told anyone about her engagement? (and honestly, I won't be continuing with the show after Tracy's departure, so I won't see if the new member will be Kim's friend).
Because Tracy and Marianna seem to have a good relationship outside the job.
Fire and Med do a better job with women and sisterhood.
Thank you for your time reading this and for the answer.
Happy weekend. I'm seeding the same question to others blogs, to know more opinions.
Hi there!
Ooooooooof, there's a lot to unpack here.
The female dynamics in PD have been so lackluster and so poorly done, it's been one of my biggest issues with the series as a whole. Female dynamics and friendships and relationships are just so important and the fact that they've clearly not even tried to figure out how to make something work is incredibly disappointing.
I do think the nature of the show has something to do with it, but I don't think it's an excuse for them to not try. This is never going to be the type of the show that explores relationships of any kind super in-depth, but I don't think that means it can't be there, even if in a small way.
It's not like it's something that has to be so in-your-face either. A few throw-a-way lines here and there about Kim & Hailey having a girls' night. Letting them confide in each other about life, instead of letting them suffer through trauma alone - which is what this show seems to prefer.
I think this show kind of overall fails at exploring relationships in-depth to begin with - relationships of any kind. We only see glimpses, and I know it's a procedural with cases taking the forefront, but I do think it's something that could be there, and could make the show stronger. Especially with the whole 'this unit is a family' bullshit they try to make me believe, but it's anything but believable when none of them even speak to each other outside work. They barely speak to one another at work.
Also, the character central episodes need to be ABOLISHED because that's one of the reasons this show is sinking faster than the Titanic and dynamics between characters can't be explored properly.
This got long. Apologizes. I'm going to shut up now.

Have you read the rumors? Rick Eid left FBI to start a new project for TheCW. What if its upstead spin off?? πππππ

personally i think you should be able to afford a place to live with a part-time job
dare i even say that, with how much technology has advanced in america, the 40 hour work week shouldn't be as commonplace and you should still get full-time employment benefits when you're working less than that actually
Actually obsessed with Tracy's black and white bomber jacket, but the price makes my eyes water π²π
It's cute! I like it, it's not my favorite piece that she's ever worn, but I do like it. Could absolutely never justify spending that much money on one item of clothing with my current paycheck, though...
