hey so if you have secret prejudiced thoughts about an oppressed group. and you feel guilty about those thoughts. to be honest it isn’t very swagilicious when you go out of your way to turn a member of that oppressed group into your own personal confessional booth. I don’t need to know that you were secretly ableist about your wheelchair using coworker, actually. I don’t need to know that you used to hate trans people. you don’t need to make that my problem please

There’s something about August that’s just so fascinating to me

Yes, what he did to Wille and Simon was terrible, especially with the video. And yet, despite the anger I feel with regards to that, and for how he otherwise treats Simon, I can’t help but pity him and feel a bit sad for him at the same time

Like, he’s a deeply broken man tormented by so many personal demons. He doesn’t have the support system that Simon has, he doesn’t have any meaningful friendships like what Wille develops with Simon and Felice. Yes, he has Vincent and Nils, but he’s hiding a lot of secrets from them. The only person who truly made August feel vulnerable was Sara, and I do think he genuinely loved and cared for her, but his actions and deep-seated issues basically make it impossible for a long-term relationship to flourish between them

To me, August is what Wille probably would’ve become if he hadn’t met Simon or Felice; if he didn’t have such a strong relationship with his brother

There’s a whole host of issues and factors that played into how August turned out to be. But I think a key issue is the lack of meaningful support in his life. His mom basically shipped him off to Hillerska without giving him any time to grieve his father’s death. And yes, there was Erik, but a part of me wonders how much of his friendship with Erik was genuine and how much of it was rooted in lingering fear

Is it any wonder that he latches onto Sara so quickly when she shows him kindness? I can’t help but wonder what kind of person August could have been if he had actual friendships, if he had a proper support system to help him through his issues

This isn’t me trying to make excuses for August’s actions, but my way of trying to understand how and why August became who he is in the show

Basically, August is a very intriguing character, and Malte Gårdinger deserves an award for making me both hate and pity the character at the same time

You are never letting a WIP rot. You are doing it a service. Your WIP is a sourdough starter and the five words you wrote that one day were all it needed to sustain itself. It will bubble and be ready when you are.

Neither enemies to lovers nor slow burn but a secret third thing called Schrödinger's intimacy. We are in love and we are not in love do NOT open that lid I swear to God.

“i’ll bite the hand that feeds me” (from bite the hand by boygenius) except it’s my relationship with my body. i am so appreciative of everything it allows me to do, of what it can do, yet loathe how it looks. i wish i didn’t care but i do. it takes up so much of my brainspace.

I don't know what those '90s sci Fi TV writers were putting in their shows but I wish they'd start doing it again
