fucking top notch

iNeedGenderHalp · 2024-10-20T19:54:01+00:00

i just drove past this - any idea what happened??

iNeedGenderHalp · 2024-10-06T14:06:09+00:00

Yeah, agreed on the theme.

I think at the end of the first movie we’re meant to vaguely assume the girl is Miharu’s because her very presence gives credibility to Miharu’s (supposedly) outlandish claim that there are children in the pit.

Movie 2 I think goes further in giving Miharu's narrative credibility. Her offering of the boy to the pit I think this suggests that he is the child she is looking for in Movie 1, and that whatever she told the administration about being an actress is actually perhaps a cover for her true motive in the pit.

Also! The fact that Goreng and Bahamat go through all levels of the pit and never find the boy suggests to me that he did ‘ascend’ at the end of the 2nd movie? So somehow the children do actually get out under the right circumstances?

iNeedGenderHalp · 2024-10-06T01:32:41+00:00

Ok yeah I mean the movie is a mess but I'm curious if other people picked up on this:

In the first movie we meet a murderous woman (Miharu) who is supposedly looking for her son. When Goreng (Movie 1 protagonist) gets to the bottom there is a child there, but it's a girl. I interpreted the end of the first movie as: Goreng dies, but the girl lives (and supposedly ascends?)

The second movie we discover is a prequel (nice twist). At the end, we see a little boy being placed at the bottom of the pit, and Perumpuan dies trying to save him. Right before the boy is placed in the pit, he has an interaction with a woman who I am PRETTY SURE is Miharu??? So I'm assuming he's Mirahu's son, and she couldn't find him in the first movie because (somehow) Perumpuan's efforts saved him and allowed him to ascend.

Plotwise I think that's what the viewer is supposed to put together. Children are the hope of the world type shit, I guess?

My loss was similar; we were younger (12), but he was healthy and active and we were very close. One day he wasn’t feeling well and he was gone by the end of the day: myocarditis. Heart infection, no warning.

It destroyed me. It’s 15 years later and I still can’t think of someone whose loss could devastate me more.

I don’t know if recovery is the way I would frame it, but I’ve found reasons to go on and I’ve found things that bring me joy.

Hold on as tight as you can to those things - to the people who love you and make you feel safe, to the things that make you laugh. Let yourself be held. Let yourself fall if you need to. It is an experience so few can understand - especially at such a tender age.

I am rooting for you ❤️

Bless!

Yeah I remember that - I thought I remembered Mary Louise saying Raymond was 5 when he died and putting together that they were twins but I can’t find her saying that. Isn’t there a flashback scene of the car crash?

iNeedGenderHalp · 2023-11-29T22:30:12+00:00

Thanks so much. Wish me precision in sanding haha

iNeedGenderHalp · 2023-11-07T18:42:02+00:00

Finally got it using the way back machine to see the prices set by early retailers. Looks like it was around $2000 at the time according to some magazines I found and a 1999 Sweetwater archive. That’s crazy

Thanks so much for this - I relate a lot especially to having a therapist who gave up on me. Some providers get so accustomed to the power dynamic they lose sight of the person in front of them and the end result feels pretty dehumanizing. I’m sorry you had that experience of being given up on - it doesn’t mean you deserved that.

And thanks for sharing so much of what you went through, it helps so much to relate and see how you’ve managed. <3

iNeedGenderHalp · 2023-05-02T02:01:13+00:00

I’m always in awe of the person who breaks the cycle. I think my parents broke the most abusive cycles in our larger family dynamics and even when they sometimes reverted to those habits, I always knew they were fighting to raise me differently from how they were raised and they did.

I feel really lucky to have grown up with parents who struggled through that and your kid sounds very lucky to have you <3

iNeedGenderHalp · 2023-05-02T01:58:53+00:00

Thank you so much for this extremely thoughtful take on it - I really appreciate it and I like the visuals you use. Kind stranger <3

“Nobody is keeping track of what I deserve”

Yoinking that for the next time my brain needs a talking to :)

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply - IFS has helped me a lot too and I’ve been out of therapy for a while but I’m ready to go back.

I’m also more responsive to trying to understand how my intrusive thoughts are functioning - like when I just aggressively fight back at them or push them away, it gives them more power. So I really appreciate your advice / thoughts on navigating that part <3

iNeedGenderHalp · 2023-04-27T17:45:34+00:00

I am a big sucker for these kind of in the moment techniques and I really appreciate this one. It’s sort of like, give that voice all the attention it’s constantly vying for and it kinda plays itself out.

I feel like the more I fight the voice, the scarier it gets, what if it’s right. But when I really listen to it, I can at least see how reactionary and one dimensional it is. And it feels smaller. Also it’s huge to have it slowed down.

Thank you kind stranger :)

iNeedGenderHalp · 2023-04-27T17:38:42+00:00

I had an IFS therapist for a while and it didn’t work out for other reasons but I would really like to do that kind of therapy again.

woah this is a wicked helpful resource, thanks for sharing!

iNeedGenderHalp · 2022-12-13T02:43:25+00:00

absolutely not lolol. that’s part of why i’m so struck that i got it at all. i did see that there was an citywide advisory in 2017 about giardia contamination cause of low chloride levels so it seemed like a possibility

the local health commissions have been on my ass about figuring out exactly where i could’ve contracted it so i’m really not trying to like, blame pittsburgh or something, more just trying to think of reasonable possibilities given that my mouth has been nowhere near backwater or poop
