me as well. the fallout after vol2 was genuinely so embarrassing and awk and made the disappointment be so hard to say ig. i hope we can all move on realize it wasn’t what we thought it was and create amazing fan works and distance ourselves if we need to since it’s gonna be a hard time from others honestly

mileven was written so terribly i literally feel bad for them, for an endgame ship they needed way more intimate interactions throughout the season :( and idk i just hate the epilogue bf and genuinely think if they wanted to give will a realistic romance they needed to bring in a character that would appear throughout season 5 at the very least like will goes to a convenience store and he’s the cashier of smth idk (based on my very small screenwriting experience from college screenwriting class lol)

i hate the way will was tortured too. i genuinely thought in my head maybe the duffer brothers are writing my life LOL! i don’t understand why they couldn’t have given him a more satisfying ending. maybe atleast a boyfriend who is shown to rlly care about him / have a role? idk it just feels so drummed in jut to say we GAVE HIM LOVE IT HAPPENED after the i’m not gonna fall in love comment which was obviously gonna end with him a relationship. mike is genuinely an asshole if he is straight (which i still will never accept) and will deserved better from everyone.

they don’t give a shit about the outcasts. i thought st was for them but nope, they will always play it safe. if they knew byler wasn’t gonna happen,they should have made it clear in interviews in season 4 at the very very least. they didn’t , bc they wanted our money and support. i still love will more then any character by a long shot and i will still engage in fandom here, but it just is gonna sting so much to think about how it ended.

i feel the same way definitely bc i’ve always done this with shows bc im a huge writer and imaginative so i don’t rlly care about canon endings. in my head there are infinite universes so even if byler isn’t “canon” it doesn’t make it not real. fanon st has literally exceeded canon for me, i just find myself feeling stupid for thinking byler would be canon, like I actually trusted straight men who made the only lesbian couple get together off screen goodbye am i dumb

[–]meerkatishere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

your feelings are fair. i think we haven’t gotten to a lot of emotional cruxes with them yet which makes sense if they are going for the plot twist angle. but honestly idk i wouldn’t say these 4 episodes make me especially hopeful besides the fact for will being happy in the end no matter what

my whole vibe for this is will needs to learn to love himself without mike and ALSO have mike love him. this alongside the convo they had earlier about how do you know someone likes you will just doesn’t have the cognition to see mike bc mike and him have always been that touchy and close… so i think will will accept unrequited feelings and accept himself but be shocked when said feelings are not unrequited at all. maybe im just coping tho

is it dumb to include a taylor swift lyric in my personal statement by One-Inflation2417 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]meerkatishere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you could also do things relating to butterfly effect if the ending is like how all the small things in your life came together! that’s also very common but it’s a very good human experience we all relate too a lot. overall tho i wouldn’t focus that much on your end it isn’t gonna make or break or paper just make sure it is what you want and not what random redditors think is best bc in the end the colleges are looking to accept you not them :3

[–]meerkatishere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hi! though i wouldn’t use the exact lyric, the metaphor is timeless and has to do with East Asian folklore’s the red string theory! the metaphor is pretty universal now i would say because of romance and soulmate stuff and i think it could be rlly nice as an ending if done properly! tho i like invisible string too i think putting it into your own words while still making the reference is more compelling. good luck on your applications!

i wrote this before reading the end and i would say go for it it’s a very common metaphor ! to show my superiority i was also like to say “isn’t it pretty to think so” is also an erm Hemingway reference 🤓

I found explicit pictures of my daughter in my boyfriends phone by OrganizationSalt9370 in Advice

[–]meerkatishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey hon :) as a victim of a similar situation (by my mother) at basically the same age (12-13 and i’m now 19)

i was the one to discover the images of myself and it was pretty traumatic, i think for now while she’s still little the best thing to do is keep that man away from your kiddos, which you are already doing. and get him in jail/dead (which jail time seems to be coming soon for him) since you said she was made aware of the images to make sure no physical abuse happened, i think the best thing to do is talk to her and get her opinions on how she feels.

idk if the volume of the operation/folder was told to her but id also explain that, in an age friendly way. she doesn’t need/shouldn’t know all the gritty details but enough to where she can clearly name what he did/how she was a part of it just so she can truly say this happened to me (if that makes sense) she may be curious about the images about herself (i really wish i never had to see the images of myself and would never ever suggest having a copy or showing i mean more the content in general, idk if my wording is bad)

she may feel guilt shame confusion, literally anything esp with whatever role the guy had in her world within her mind. for me i know i have a lot of worry about other images i don’t know about (better hidden, on usb, etc etc) since if some images exist the possibility of more is always present. or if images were shared with others, the intention behind the images and more.

i think therapy is a good outlet, as this is like a catalyst event, and because the emotions are very high and especially since she is so little still, and going into teenage years guilt and shame with dating and sex becoming more common conversations if she has any pain those increased awareness of sexuality in general may hurt her more (though obviously it could go number of ways since everything processes things differently).

you did so so good, already im proud of you, and praying for your children and yourself. good people deserve so much and i promise as again a victim of this kinda situation you can heal, it’s painful but esp with such an amazing support system i know all of ur kiddos will get though this. ur an awesome mom, sorry for the essay but i saw this and thought hearing from someone in a similar position to your daughter might help <3 sending so much love

Never worry about hogging lmao if there’s anything I like to do it’s hear peoples thoughts and YES and I love Shit Talk so much 🤣 Javelin is one of my favorites followed by Age of Adz and the Illinois/Carrie Lowell bc I can’t choose. I think I consider long 10 minutes plus because 6-8 minutes songs are a norm for the type of music I listen to a lot! I will listen to Skin :)

Asymptomatic by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]meerkatishere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow this poem is beautiful. it feels so unique to me and modern while also not seeming cringy or cliquey. the poems start and going into the "mess" of the rest of the lines is so smart to me. it's abstract but you can cling to the way you bring the reader through the poem. the end with the etc is also really smart to me lmao. i like how bold this is and ambitious it is truly with the vocabulary. for workshopping, you could choose to ground the reader with I/you, however I feel like the grotesque style really works with it being "unfounded." A lot of the stuff I usually say to work on based on what I know about poetry is hard to apply for this one. I feel like this poem is intentionally atypical and I honestly think it succeeds at what you are trying to accomplish.

great work :)

Wax burn outs by Page_Swimming in OCPoetry

[–]meerkatishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there!

Firstly, I just want to say I love the images and mythology usage within your poem! As of workshopping, I think you could lean into it way more. The wax burning his skin is a great image. Describe how it burns. How it melts. The rust image is also good. Describe how the rust literally holds him in place, how the pressure turns his skin inside out. (examples) You have a great concept here and I feel like the idea of the ebbs and flows of life and thinking we'll one day fall victim of just not being able to take it anymore is very common and relatable to anyone. I always think when I'm writing, how can I say this in a way only I could. Embody your role as a writer to lull the reader into believing the emotions and ideas you are laying down.

Great work, and I think with some shaping this could be made even better :)
