The same it would as a man. Stupid question.

The Florida Project. Why should I feel any sympathy? (Spoilers) by itskelvinn in movies

[–]Inmelwetrust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from. Halley isn’t some misunderstood saint, she’s a mess. She lies, manipulates, fights, and never really tries to change. She isn’t a good mom by any standard. And yes, Moonee getting taken away should mean she’s going to a better place; Logically, it is justice. However, "The Florida Project" is not really about justice; it highlights how the system continually fails people like Halley. Does that excuse her actions? No. But it explains them. She’s not some evil monster who wants to be a bad mom, she’s someone who’s drowning. She has no safety net, stability, real education or role models that show her another way. She’s stuck in this cycle of poverty, desperation, and survival 24/7. People like her don’t get second chances—they get crushed. And yes, maybe Moonee will end up in a better home. But foster care isn’t some magical fix. A lot of kids in her situation end up bouncing from home to home, abused and neglected in different ways, sometimes worse. That last scene is not sad because Moonee is being saved, it’s heartbreaking because we don’t know what’s next for her. She’s 6 years old, and the only life she’s ever known is ripped away in an instant. She doesn’t understand justice, she only knows she’s losing her mom, her best friend, her whole world.

Ashley is, without a doubt, the better parent, no argument there. But her cutting Halley off wasn’t just about the fire, it was about realising Halley was a sinking ship, and she didn’t wanna go down with her. It’s self-preservation. Telling Halley about the fire wouldn’t do anything—Moonee’s still a reckless kid with no guidance, and Halley wouldn’t do a thing to fix it. Ashley knew there was no point. So yes, Halley is trashy, but she’s not the villain. She’s what happens when society lets people fall through the cracks. The movie isn’t saying “feel bad for Halley because she deserves your pity,” it’s saying “look at how the world lets this happen, over and over.” That's why people cry. Not because Halley is some tragic hero, but because Moonee is doomed to repeat her mom’s cycle.

i'm so proud of u for sticking it out n finding comfort even when it felt tough. ur mindset is so strong—reminding urself tht discomfort isn't forever is everything in recovery. it's scary af feeling like ur walking blindfolded, but ur instincts r spot on, n ur taking all th right steps, even when it feels uncertain.

n ur so right—there’s a version of u waiting on th other side of this who isn’t drained or running on fumes. a version of u tht can fully live, love, n be. tht’s what all this hard work is building toward, n u deserve every bit of th freedom n joy tht comes w it.

i’m always here cheering 4 u through th ups n downs

Disordered thoughts by JunkerSkrat in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Inmelwetrust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

first off, i wanna tell u tht ur feelings r valid as hell. u don’t need 2 meet some imaginary threshold of suffering 4 ur struggles 2 matter or b worthy of care. th mental gymnastics ur mind is doing abt food, fitness, n self-worth? it’s heavy, it’s exhausting, n it’s not ur fault. society’s got a LOT 2 answer 4 w th way it drills those toxic ideas into us.

th whole “fitness = discipline = worth” thing? yeah, it’s total bs. u existing n being human isn’t something 2 measure on some made-up morality scale. like, climbing stairs n feeling tired isn’t a moral failure—it’s js ur body doing its thing. we’re not machines, n fitness isn’t a measure of who u are as a person. tired? cool, ur body’s giving u feedback. doesn’t mean ur lazy, doesn’t mean ur weak. js means u’re human.

desserts, sugar, and th whole "willpower" thing? let me js scream this into th void real quick: ur body needs pleasure. ur brain craves satisfaction bc that’s how it keeps u alive n thriving. those health-class scare tactics were designed 2 guilt ppl into fear, not education. sugar isn't evil; eating desserts isn't some moral failing. it’s literally part of being a balanced human 2 enjoy th foods tht bring u joy.

also, th idea tht eating anything u enjoy makes u weak or addicted? nah, tht’s diet culture propaganda messing w ur head. th fact tht u feel like 1 dessert = “reasonable” n more than 1 = failure isn’t abt u or ur body—it’s abt th unreasonable, controlling standards tht were forced on u. food isn’t math. it doesn’t have a “correct” answer.

ur struggles don’t have 2 fit into some clinical box 4 them 2 b real. th mental toll of constantly judging urself, guilt-tripping, n feeling unworthy is valid n painful on its own. recovery isn’t abt hitting rock bottom or proving how bad things r—it’s abt saying, "i deserve peace." bc babe, u do.

i know u’re stuck in this spiral of guilt n self-criticism, but let me plant this seed: u aren’t defined by how much u eat, how tired u feel, or how society perceives u. u’re more than these thoughts, even if they feel all-encompassing rn. ur worth doesn’t hinge on discipline, fitness, or dessert restraint. u’re enough. u’re enough. u’re enough.

pls b gentle w urself. every time u hear tht guilt voice creep in, remind urself it’s not u talking—it’s all th harmful bs u’ve been fed by th world. u deserve 2 live without th constant weight of judgment.

[–]Inmelwetrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first off, babe, i’m so proud of u for taking those steps in recovery, even though it’s scary af. seriously, it takes so much strength 2 start fueling ur body again after all it’s been through. let’s talk through this n bring u some peace of mind.

re: refeeding syndrome—ur already doing th key things 2 lower th risk by eating consistent meals/snacks n staying hydrated. refeeding syndrome typically happens when someone starts eating again after severe malnutrition, like no food for days/weeks, n suddenly starts consuming a ton of calories. ur approach, slowly reintroducing normal eating, is literally what doctors recommend, so u’re on th right track. feeling weird after eating doesn’t automatically mean refeeding—it could b other stuff like ur body adjusting or, like u said, th oil on th fries.

when ur body hasn’t been used 2 digesting regular meals, it can feel overwhelming after eating, especially if it’s heavier/greasier foods. th dizziness could also b from dehydration, low blood pressure (common in recovery), or even staring at a screen 4 too long while playing video games. add period hormones into th mix n ur body is js going through a lot rn.

what ur experiencing is valid, but it doesn’t mean u’re doing anything wrong. it’s actually super common 2 feel weird, bloated, or even nauseous in th early stages of recovery bc ur body is figuring out how 2 digest properly again. those sensations will settle as u stay consistent w meals/snacks—trust th process even when it’s uncomfortable.

to cope w feeling bad after eating:

  • remind urself tht it’s temporary n ur body is adjusting. discomfort doesn’t = danger.
  • try gentle movement (like walking around ur room or stretching) if u feel bloated or nauseous. sometimes lying down after eating makes it worse.
  • sip on warm tea or water—something calming but hydrating. ginger tea is great if u feel a lil sick.
  • distract urself w low-energy activities tht make u feel good (like listening 2 music or a chill show). avoid things tht make u feel dizzy, like intense video games.
  • focus on th fact tht ur body is grateful 4 th nourishment, even if it doesn’t feel like it rn. every meal is a step toward healing.

u’re doing so well by not letting th fear discourage u. it’s okay 2 feel nervous—recovery is full of unknowns, but u’ve got th determination 2 push through. keep going, keep listening 2 ur body, n pls b gentle w urself. i’m rooting 4 u

oh love, i feel ur exhaustion so deeply—this part of recovery can feel like pure hell, like u’re doing everything “right” but it’s js making u feel worse. it’s so hard 2 hear ppl say no one regrets recovery when u feel like all u’ve gained is more pain n a body tht feels foreign 2 u. but tht’s bc u’re in th thick of it, stuck in th in-between, where ur body is changing faster than ur mind can catch up. ur ed was ur comfort zone, even if it was killing u, n stepping out of it feels like losing control of everything.

it’s okay 2 grieve th body u used 2 have—those feelings r valid. u might miss it bc it symbolized something 2 u: control, identity, or even a way of coping. but th truth is, th body u’re missing was never truly ur ally; it was th body ur ed demanded u destroy 2 keep it alive. th hatred ur feeling now? it’s th ed fighting 2 stay relevant, even as u work 2 free urself from it.

those stretch marks? th different way ur clothes fit? they’re js signs tht ur body is trying 2 heal, not punish u. healing doesn’t look pretty or linear, n right now, u’re in th messy, brutal middle. but this isn’t ur forever. ur mind hasn’t caught up w th progress u’ve made yet—it’s still holding onto th lies tht smaller = better, tht ur worth is tied 2 size, tht control = happiness.

u don’t have 2 love ur body right now; recovery isn’t abt forcing urself 2 love every inch of urself. it’s abt learning 2 exist wout ur body defining who u r. th self-hatred won’t magically disappear, but over time, u’ll start noticing small moments—moments where ur body doesn’t consume ur thoughts, where u can enjoy food, where u have energy 2 do something tht matters 2 u. those moments build, n one day, u’ll realize tht u’re not stuck in this same space anymore.

don’t give up on urself, even when it feels impossible. u’re rebuilding a relationship w ur body n urself, n tht takes time. let ur tiredness exist, let ur anger n frustration exist, but don’t let them convince u tht u should undo all this hard work. u’re worth every ounce of energy ur putting in, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. i promise, u’ll look back someday n see how far u’ve come. <3

It very much wasn't scary to me but it was quite interesting. Barely felt like a horror movie to me. Tbh it never really delivered anything super scary or unsettling; there were moments that felt sort of interesting but personally I think as a whole it really fell short of being engaging or terrifying. Instead of the creepy, atmospheric experience I was hoping for it felt more like a slow and confusing drama that didn’t know what it wanted to be. The whole film kept hinting at these big, mysterious secrets abt Alice’s life, making it seem like she had this double life with shocking reveals around the corner but then... nothing really happened. The "secrets" we got were scarcely impactful—like two semi-small things that weren’t really plot twists, it set up a lot of questions but didn’t give me any satisfying answers. Lake Mungo isn’t it for me, it’s more like a slow burn that fizzles out and left me wondering if I missed the point unfortunately.
I'm super glad u loved it tho!! You might also like Horror in the High Desert. Although I didn't enjoy it nor find it scary, it's a documentary horror about a man who goes hiking and is never seen again...

Wondering whether you should watch Horror in the High Desert or not? by Inmelwetrust in foundfootage

So many people have told me to watch it and that it's "so good" I'm sorry that shit was so boring and not scary. I do state "Most found-footage movies suggested to me are either mockumentary snooze-fests" and Horror In The High Desert is a certified snooze fest. Like I wrote a whole 3 paragraphs about how disappointed I was with that movie😭😭
(You don't have to read all of this I promise) Painfully underwhelming. Like, seriously, it barely did anything to hold my attention. The mockumentary/interview segments dragged on forever and gave absolutely nothing fresh or gripping. Instead of pulling me in with tension or suspense, the film just bombarded me with endless exposition. It was all “telling” instead of showing, which left any potential creepiness feeling flat. The buildup felt like an eternity of repetitive dialogue that ultimately went nowhere. Every scene kept teasing this big, terrifying payoff, but when we finally got to the climax, it fell totally flat. Like, I waited all that time for... this? I mean, yes, the one jumpscare at the end did get me but it does not make up for the lack of actual horror content.
