people of tumblr, aita for getting mad at my younger brother for spending an hour and a half in the bathroom???
listen. he only started doing this in the last year. every single fucking time he enters that bathroom, he takes at least an hour and a half. sometimes more. he's not even DOING anything in there. he sits down on the toilet and watches videos on his phone. i cannot even keep count of the amount of times i've wanted to go to bed, only for him to beat me to the bathroom, and for it to result in me not getting to get in there and get ready and go to bed until 2am, even when i have a busy day the next day. this morning i wanted to get up and start my day at 10:30, and didn't actually end up being able to get in there until 1:15.
and yet, when i so much as utter a single complaint about this, simply by irritatingly saying "he's been in there for over an hour! i want to take a shower!", i get yelled at by my parents for "bitching", and get told that i should "apologize to your brother".

I initially wanted to ask if we’re going to get another part of cult leader!suguru x blind!Reader because I was on my 9th reread until I saw the tags. When I tell you I screamed at “that’s just the beginning” I AM READY!! (don’t ask me how I missed that the first 8 times☠️)
Soo I’ll just sit patiently here and wait for new cult leader Geto x blind reader content.
Geto Suguru is on my mind 24/7. It’s a bit concerning but oh well-
and that will definitely happen (i already have the header image hihihi) but i’m trying to gather more inspo to make it long so i’ve been reading Veil to get a better perspective of a blind reader

some thoughts on 3x11 mom city:
i almost wish… we had gotten the chance to see jamie have a panic attack, or an overwhelmed pause regarding everything that he’s been dealing with beneath the surface over the course of the series, especially as a parallel to ted. to be taken seriously in that moment and for the audience to be put directly in his headspace; helpless debilitating fear of possibly seeing his father again. a beat of quiet where the world stops and slows down for a minute. joining in breath and stillness and the comfort its met with. roy and/or keeley being there for him, ted in the aftermath. a notable conversation about boundaries, attachment, guilt.
of course, i never want to magnify the pain of my favorite characters more than any of the circumstances they’ve already been dealt — this would’ve been a natural response many people experience after his severe level of trauma. after it’s been all piled up and up until he can’t ignore it for any longer. after the root of his ptsd has relentlessly lurked unpredictable and inescapable just out of frame, and seemingly threatens to again.
the mom city boot room scene doesn’t necessarily have to be replaced by this, if anything it played an essential part in the duality of depression and how it appears. big outbursts of emotional distress that avoid the event that upset you in the first place; a cry for help, a distraction, a release for what you’re carrying inside even though you can’t admit it’s real quite yet. then the other half. the suffering in the silence; disassociation, drowning until only the numbness remains “like it’s in my soul.”
i know it’s tough subject matter, but it would’ve been so poignant and vital to such a significant part of jamie’s characterization. then comes the topic of forgiveness.
before it was revealed jamie’s dad was in rehab, when he said it was freaking him out that he couldn’t find him in the crowd, i had almost thought ted would tell jamie that they had james sr. permanently banned from his matches after wembley. that he was finally free from him now. assuring jamie he could even get a restraining order if he wanted, evoking a wash of both relief and grief on his face.
regardless of the rehab choice, i always thought it could’ve been one of the most impactful routes to cut ties and go no contact for good just like his mom likely had done. many of us with toxic family members are given no other choice but to do so, it just felt like a golden missed opportunity for healing and cathartic solidarity.
and maybe another solid plotline could’ve been two contrasting sides of forgiveness. ted’s advice vs roy/keeley’s. they would have no hesitation telling jamie that any man alive who abuses him deserves nothing less than losing the right to having the honor of jamie as a son. jamie’s dad stopped being his dad a long time ago. ted is in the dark about how truly bad it is, and biased by his own experience of loss, it doesn’t do the scene justice standing on its own. keeley knows him most intimately, and roy may be the only one that knows about the amsterdam SA. give him options: jamie doesn’t need to forgive him right now or ever, or thank him for a lesson no one should have to learn, or feel that he owes him any help that he himself was never given. just let him go. jamie’s still in his 20s, still closer to being an impressionable kid, still holding onto a burden keeping him from total freedom and autonomy that was never his responsibility. he struggles with self worth and detaching his identity from his dad. he can always change his mind later on about how he feels, but separation and safety should be his priority in order to ever fully cope and move forward. to mourn the loss of his own youth to confusion and torment.
well aware jamie’s friends aren’t verified therapists like dr sharon, but nonetheless, for the sake of communicating a message for the end of the episode, if both jamie and ted lasso viewers were to be presented with more than one singular take on such a delicately personal situation there would be less room for misinterpretation and which behavior is actually being praised — especially under an episode umbrella theme concerning the value in being given second chances.

Bria decided to kick off the wedding talk with her soon to be daughter-in-law. Of course, she's already started preparations, but she wants to make an effort to include the couple in her plans. Hopefully this planning process goes smoothly...
Transcript Under the Cut
Olivia: I can't believe I never come out here. It's so pretty!
Bria: Trust me, I don't come out here enough either. Busy ladies the two of us.
Olivia: Yes, soon I’ll be going from school busy to work busy.
Bria: Yes, but we can’t forget about wedding busy!
Olivia: Yeah. It’s all happening!
Bria: It really is. I am so happy for you guys.
Olivia: So are we! I’m guessing that’s what this little get together is about?
Bria feigns shock: Can’t a girl just want to bond with her daughter-in-law?
Olivia: Oh, of course! I’m sorry I-
Bria: Nah, I’m just kidding. I love bonding with you, but let’s talk wedding!
Bria: So, what are you thinking?
Olivia: Gosh, I don’t even know. Knowing Grayson, he wants something intimate.
Bria: Who cares what Grayson wants? This is YOUR day!
Olivia laughs: I know, but I do want to consider him.
Bria: That’s why we love you, Olivia. You’re too sweet. We will make sure you both get what you want. But, mainly you.
Olivia laughs: I appreciate that. I’d love your ideas, too.
Bria: Well... since you asked, I have started talking with the hospitality staff. I imagine this is going to be quite the event. Grayson’s family alone is huge.
Olivia: Oh, that’s a good idea... to have help.
Bria: I’m sure your future husband gave you a whole spiel about how overbearing I am and how I’ll take charge of the whole thing.
Olivia: Uh...
Bria: But! I just want whatever it is you guys want. I’m just here to help, I promise.
Olivia: Thank you, Mrs. Wu-Winston.
Bria: Now, Olivia! You’re family now, girl! You can call me Mom.
Olivia: Okay... Mom!
Bria: Alright, let’s go serious. Why don’t you call your mom?
Olivia: On it!
