you don’t choose your favourite tennis player you see them display stupidity and your brain goes ‘that one, we want that one’

on twitter, they use ijbol (I just burst out laughing)

it is very sad that there is no real equivalent to ptdr (pété de rire = burst out laughing) in english because i use ptdr in every situation and i just can’t do it in english

lmao just doesn’t hit as hard for me

madrid wta special lockerroom seating

not these two girlies having to sit right next to each other right after that double breadstick match😭

(from what the vlog)

so i went a bit further to figure out this years special lockeroom seating:

Naomi   Jasmine    Coco    Iga 

——       ——            ——      —— 

| Elena

|  Karolina

|  Dasha

I  Biatriz   

(wall)

|  Amanda

|  Diana

|  Emma

|  Paula   

|  Mirra

(empty)  Madi   Jessica  Aryna 

——          ——     ——        ——    

i think its the top 15 players and if people decline they just go to the next person in the ranking, and they also threw naomi in there too but she got the very narrow corner seat😭 how the rest of them are assigned i dont know maybe its just on vibes, but dasha looks like she wants to be in mirra's section.

there is also a bike in the locker room, there were also some candies on day 1 but they took those away and mirra was very unhappy about it.

I find the parallels between the two oldest Spring siblings to be absolutely fascinating and how Alice was able to show through the both of them how relationships can't "cure" mental illness.

In Solitaire Tori mentions that there are movies she watches in which the main characters problems are seemingly all solved once they get into a relationship. We see that as Tori gets closer to Michael throughout the story her depression doesn't get better (you could argue that it actually gets worse) up until the end of the story where she is on the roof of the school. Because in the end Michael's affections don't solve her problems, only she can do that by reaching out for help from other people such as Michael and Charlie. She doesn't suddenly find the will to keep living because of her love for Michael its only when she decides that she wants to keep going for herself that things change for her.

On the other hand we have Charlie who insists that he is fine and doesn't need anyone to worry about him. In the end, just like Tori, Charlie only begins to get better after he reaches out for help and confides in people how he truly feels. Like with Tori, his ED and OCD doesn't "go away" because he gets in a relationship (like Tori it only seems to get worse after he is in a relationship).

Both siblings needed to reach out for others for help, their partners don't suddenly arrive and all their issues go away. Their partners are there to help them in whatever way they can, but in the end its up to Charlie and Tori to take their own futures in their hands and ask others for help. Falling in love doesn't magically make your mental illness disappear, and I am glad that Alice addresses this in their books.
