#Time of the Gypsies

[art--harridan]

[Image description: A digital drawing based on the film Time of the Gypsies. It depicts Perhan as a corpse, laying in a pile of golden grains. His lips are parted slightly and blood drips from them. His arms splay out to his side. He's wearing a white dress shirt and a red tie. The shirt has two bullet holes in it from which blood seeps out. His hair is unkempt and his skin is sallow. Two gold coins sit on his eyes. The one on his left eye shines brightly in a four point star.]

god i’m so SICK of how people switched up on gypsy rose, especially now that she’s pregnant. the amount of comments that say “hope her child does to her what she did to her mom”??? are we forgetting HER MOM tortured her for years, declared her mentally unstable so that she couldn’t tell anyone about the abuse?? (she tried going to the police but because she was mentally incompetent on paper, the police brought her back home). gypsy is going to be physically affected by the DECADES of this forever, her brain was affected by the medication too.

gypsy’s mom is literally suspected of killing her own mom, and gypsy was confined to a wheelchair by the end, very likely to be next.

also, disgusting how everyone was so supportive when she got out of jail but now that she’s not behaving like they want her to, suddenly everyone has conveniently forgotten that she wasn’t ‘not getting along with her mom’, she was mentally and physically abused almost to the brink of death for twenty years. disgusting.

everyone supports long term abuse victims until they’re not a perfect picture of imagination. when has the world become incapable of processing that humans have complex emotions & are complex themselves? do better.

Genuine question as I am curious — I know it’s pretty obvious with his expressions/ body language that Daniel seemed shy/insecure(?) about having his braces, but has he ever outright said anything about feeling that way with them? Just out of curiosity as I am new around here!

“I feel very different in terms of looks. Fortunately, experience also bought me better looks. I’m not really too fond of showing people photos of me when I was younger”

Was thinking while watching that scene where Pol tells Ada about her abortion.

Polly really doesn't take on the mum role in the family to my mind, or even the matriarch/aunt tbh. And I think, there was some summary somewhere that referred to her as the consigliere and while she does perform a certain bouncing-board, plan formation role with Tommy (and only with Tommy, and only with insight into certain parts of his plans; I'm struggling to think of times the others listen to her without Tommy backing her up, S3 as example of when they don't), her other behaviours in the family also mean this isn't her role at all.

She's the wild older sister who is loving and explosive and hurtful, and incredibly, incredibly fragile, afraid and she feels so very scared, vulnerable and alone, most of the time. She just wants all her loved ones to be happy and safe and in achieving that, Tommy is frequently as much of an obstacle as he is the vehicle to get her that. I do headcanon that Polly lives 99% of her life in fear and on that edge of breakdown, it's just that she's lived with it so long she probably doesn't even acknowledge it any more. Her reactivity is so high.

So yeah, it's no wonder Tommy sort of plays that joint patriarch-matriarch role (arranging marriages etc), because Polly is *not* playing the matriarch.

realizing that there’s people who sooo sympathize with Nick Godejohn & think he’s a poor little baby who was manipulated by the irredeemably evil Gypsy Rose is a friendly reminder to me that I really do live in a bubble on the internet some of u are insane

So previously I was switching Gypsy's name to Tarot in the old 80s comics, but I think in the future I'll upload both the original and edited versions . . . not because I support using the word, which is a slur AFAIK, but because I think preserving history is important, even the parts that weren't so great.

Also there are parts of the comics that are racially insensitive no matter how you slice it, like I die a little inside every time I look at Mandarin Orange who is a, uh, not-great representation of a Chinese man. (Or doll? I think he runs the Land of the Dolls? Anyway, they used a very yellow skintone for him and slits for eyes . . . yeeeah.) Also there are comics with Wigwam, the pony with teepees (which were not used by the tribes who used wigwams) on his ass so it is what it is, you know what I mean? This stuff is from the 1980s and it's going to reflect the societal norms of that time.

Anyway, I wanted to let people know that in case they want to update Tumblr Savior to avoid posts with Gypsy in them. Tumblr Savior is free to download and you can blacklists tags in it so the posts don't show up on your dash.

Speaking of Katie Joy, how do you feel about her turning on Gypsy? And what are your thoughts and opinions on Gypsy?

I feel like that's par for the course for KJ lol. Once Gypsy turned out to be an imperfect victim/person, people rushed to villainize her because victims cannot be complex, they must be wholly good or bad (esp women), and I'm not surprised Katie Joy is capitalizing off of that sentiment with her record.

I don't really feel strongly about her as a person for that reason tbh. It seems objectively true that she was mentally, physically, and medically abused by her mother and has had a traumatic life from the beginning. So I feel sympathy for that, especially since she's dealing with CPTSD from it all, but I feel like it's weird to have any expectations as far as how a stranger deals with transitioning into society as an independent adult for the first time. Like, of course she's going to fuck up, people who've had relatively normal lives make mistakes when they first experience independence. Pair that with a lifetime of abuse, a prison sentence, being on a humongous public platform, it feels impossible that she *wouldn't* make a few bad decisions.

Is she a person I'd go get a beer with? Probably not lol, but I also think stripping people of their complexity is dehumanizing and that she shouldn't be treated like a cartoon villain. We can admit that murder is a bad thing while also having sympathy for someone who was in an incredibly complex, traumatic situation that most of us can't even fathom.

Edit: also anyone who turned on her just because they saw the crime photos is deeply silly, like what did you think murder looked like?? The only way that makes sense to me is if they literally had no idea who she was beforehand.

Carlo who spends the last night before his marriage in the "Garden of Eden" with prostitutes. An idea proposed and imposed by Eddie, because for him marriage is a tragedy and slavery, he just can't understand how one can trade freedom for fidelity to one person
