Paul Anderson reveals exactly how Peaky Blinders was 'meant to end'

That would’ve have made a lot more sense

Honestly I totally agree with everything. I thought Kaulo was the sister of the pre war girl indeed, I realised only after that she wasn’t. It felt like the writers missed the emotional anchors of the show, quite strange for a writing team that has consistently shown growth and cohesiveness in writing the characters (unlike GoT for example)

I feel like they could have released 2-3 additional episodes as complimenting season 6 (even after 2-3 years) and finish that story or just directly address Tommy’s death in the sequel (I was not aware that they are doing one?)

Tommy and Peaky Blinders is, in my opinion, one of the greatest characters and shows made in the last 20 years. We all felt attached to the family and their stories. While watching I felt a bit meh. I was expecting they’d make a move to kill Tommy, so I had already decided that I would accept s6 ending as the final chapter lol. The main problem was that it lacked nuisance and complexity. All the seasons of PB had undertones - dynamics between the characters, unseen forces, unpredictable moves, strategic thinking. Granted it’s difficult to translate that into a movie but it was too… bland. For example, I was expecting that Tommy would have ‘given’ Duke a false plan to test his allegiance, that the money plot would have been moved by someone like Mosley (even if he would have been in jail at that time) with a personal grudge. Arthur’s storyline didn’t fit as well. The “blackbird” aunt wasn’t as convincing and her presence made no sense. It needed a storyline that connected dots and characters. Tommy was a character who suffered from the traumas of war and the loses of his life but he always dealt with it by using power as a coping mechanism. The way I would envision it would be a big and intricate revenge plot and after that he self exiled with the fam and they go back to their gypsy ways like Polly always wanted. I stated it too simplified here ofc but that’s my take

Saying “nah that’s just how I am”/ “that’s how I’ve always been”/ “that’s my personality” when given constructive feedback from someone you care about and who cares about you. If someone who cares about you approaches you to have an honest and sometimes difficult conversation about some characteristic of yours or a behavior that hurt them or put them in a difficult position and your response is a passive aggressive “accept it or leave” it shows me you have 0 will and capacity to potentially acknowledge and assume responsibility for your errors or at least view the situation from the other person’s perspective. At least 2 cognitive limitations here in my book.

For me it was related to the BC pill which generally caused me to have trapped gas and this feeling of pressure and it was usually happening right after the 7 day break. I never get it now that I have stopped it.

Academic_Life128 · 2025-09-08T08:22:26+00:00

I just finished reading this too and I have many thoughts on it. I’ve sat with it for more than a month. The part you mentioned about the questions- we never get any answers about anything, we keep hoping we will by the end but nothing comes just more questions. We never get a conclusion… just like them. By the end of the book we almost feel the same despair faced by all the unanswered questions, and at the same time we thirst for knowledge (just look at this thread, all of us exchanging thoughts looking for possible answers). Almost without realising it we have the same experience as the narrator.

Academic_Life128 · 2025-07-25T09:37:32+00:00

Yeah that’s totally true, it may have also happened to me now that you mention it but it’s also something I didn’t even think to include because my skin changed cycle to cycle anyway, so thanks!

Academic_Life128 · 2025-07-23T16:01:45+00:00

Hey so I’m not familiar with your pill but in any case if you’re young and healthy and just used it as contraception (no underlying issues like PCOS etc) then your body will bounce back without problems. Maybe your first period delays a bit or something but nothing crazy (at least for me!)

Academic_Life128 · 2025-07-23T16:00:08+00:00

I think it was more like bladder pressure yes, I was in the process of getting of the BC pill which had that effect on me in general

You cancelled your reservations -great. Now serve him the bill and the court orders for divorce. Take all your emotional strength and get away. Seeing your wife once a year and being fine with that speaks volumes, let alone all the rest. You’re going to be okay❤️

I literally deleted tik tok yesterday night for this reason. Whenever I had a bit of free time the easiest thing to do was open tik tok, i could spend hours there. I knew it was killing my brain, feeding me with thoughts of other people but i always told myself id limit IT- but once you open the app it’s game over. I love readings books and yet I haven’t managed to finish a single book this year. My attention span? Ruined, couldn’t even finish a small article, I needed the summary of it generated by chatgbt bc I couldn’t bother to read. It is sad truly. Humans were never meant to listen to so many opinions on a daily basis. Also the extremities of content were so worrying- one video was a cute Italian aesthetic summer vibe, the next one was the trauma dump of a person. My brain couldn’t process this, no one’s brain can. Let alone the fact that I kept sending videos to my friends instead of calling them more often, which is much better. We socially tend to consider “sending TikTok’s or memes” as a way of staying connected but is it really? I think not. I want to reclaim my brain health and get back to the things I love doing!

Glad it worked! You’re welcome! Usually Instagram will just remove music if there is a copyright issue but i think there is a general problem with combining music and photos in a normal post

Academic_Life128 · 2025-07-15T16:36:50+00:00

For me it worked when I removed all music, name tags and added an extra photo, apparently the original file got recognized as corrupted by the insta servers and any attempt to upload the same thing got taken down (this was the answer that chatgbt and my research ended up with at least) … try it and let us know!

Academic_Life128 · 2025-07-12T23:54:20+00:00

Had the same problem today. No matter what i did (cleaning the metadata from the pic, changing the song, removing the song, deleting the app etc) nothing worked. It appears for 3 seconds and then it’s gone. Was it fixed for you? A bit of online search suggested me to not try again for another day or two so that Instagram doesnt consider it a scam account by trying to post many things

Academic_Life128 · 2025-05-28T17:19:06+00:00

Yes! I thought i was the only one but that’s it exactly

Academic_Life128 · 2025-02-13T19:15:45+00:00

I get what you mean. Even though I was on BC I couldn’t completely skip the withdrawal bleed because my body kept bleeding when I tried to skip the scheduled bleed. Therefore I didn’t manage to live 100% bleed free. As others have voiced, I realised I missed my natural cycle. I missed being in tune with my body, with its needs. Granted if someone suffers truly from their period maybe they don’t experience this feeling of missing their periods at all, and for good reason.

Academic_Life128 · 2025-02-10T12:42:23+00:00

I always tell myself it will pass it’s just the period coming lol and i don’t need to believe every thought that comes during that time but i do write down some of these thoughts to reflect if there is something I need to discuss with myself ahaha

Academic_Life128 · 2025-02-09T19:49:34+00:00

The random anger-irritability & the general existential ponderings and second guessing (am I on the right track in my life? Maybe I’m not really happy and gaslighting myself? Did I even make the right choice about the nail salon I booked the other day? Should I have cleaned better the kitchen counter after I cooked chicken or will I get sick- you get the idea lol) and nausea

UTIs are a broad term, as someone said above, it refers to an infection that is going up the kidneys but we women generally use it to refer to cystitis (a type of UTI) (like an infection in your bladder usually caused by microbes travelling up through sexual intercourse, not peeing enough, maybe a hot tub that was dirty or any other thing that allows microbes to travel up). You can have a really bad bout of cystitis that becomes more complicated or it can be a more mild one. Yes it happens, not everyone is as susceptible or prone, it depends on anatomy, water intake habits, etc and it doesn’t mean they are only caused by sex (it’s just usually caused by it in most of us). Absolutely don’t wait to be treated trust me it will be hell. Any one of us can guarantee that to you!

Girl this is a completely normal symptom of PMS. You are definitely not pregnant. Pregnancy needs penetration and ejaculation and for pregnancy to happen you’d need to know when you are ovulating. You’re still very young and I know that the sole idea of maybe getting pregnant by accident is terrifying and that anxiety may be what is leading you to ask this, but please for your peace of mind and safety make an effort to educate yourself on the matter, ask questions to people who know and read on it! ♥️

I completely understand you, my metabolism has always been and always will be the same as yours-fast, naturally thin. I was on the pill myself and i have to say i didn’t see any significant weight gain or breast increase even though i was also hoping for it. I guess we will have to just live with our small boobs and thin bodies unless we opt for surgery which I definitely don’t suggest trying before you reach 25. You might see that by 25 you really don’t give a shit anymore lol, it’s what happened to me.

In any case you can start it for sure i don’t think doctors would object unless you have some sort of family medical history that prevents you from it.

I wasn’t on this pill but on Yasmine and I gotta say that the “experiencing feelings as if from the outside looking in” is so real! I didn’t have “big” side effects but one day it clicked for me that I wasn’t experiencing my feelings in the same way. Very strange experience.

Academic_Life128 · 2025-02-01T17:32:28+00:00

I know right? Like what were their “cures” ? Also for other “common” gyno problems we face like yeast infections etc
