actually you know what? I wish we got to see more of Keeley's actual journey. I feel like there was a lot more nuance that could've been given not just to her but her relationship with Rebecca through the lens of like,, Keeley's relationship to beauty, modeling and aging. It's mentioned like once in For The Children and never again.
Keeley's been a model since she was a teenager! That's a culture she's deeply entrenched with, I'm not even a model and just growing up fem presenting have been deeply brainwashed into thinking life ends the second you turn 25 and aren't pretty anymore! When you're livleyhood and self worth are deeply entangled with that kind of culture it would leave a mark!
It's a show that's literally about fresh starts and finding meaning after the world you thought you knew ends, always growing and learning and changing and your telling me Keeley quitting the career she's had for at least a decade but lets be real probably way longer than that just,, happens over night with no emoitional work to be had? bullshit.
Your telling me that Keeley being friends with Rebecca, a beautiful, successful, amazing woman whose well past 25 and still worth every bit as much wouldn't have a deeply profound impact on her?
Not to mention with her relationship with Roy! Both of them are experiencing the same feelings of being "past their prime" in their respective high demand, high turn over rate fields and it never comes up between them!
Ted Lasso what we could have had.

Had a bit of crisis of faith and decided to put all my aob works in an unrevealed collection for a few hours and now pulled them out of the unrevealed collections causing ao3 to think I've published new fics for some reason so if anyone's subscribed to me and got notifications from ao3 about me writing 13 new fics.... ya sorry about that :(

Yeah, as someone who was in boarding school a lot of my childhood- it's not neglect ffs. There are welfare roles, teachers, staff, other kids.
Do I have some issues with my parents now? Honestly yes, I do. I often wish they had been more involved.
But so do people whose parents have divorced or had to work a lot or honestly most people have issues with their parents.
Equating that to neglect??? When neglect is legally abuse? Is very serious
There are abusive/neglectful boarding schools but there are good ones and Tim went tk good ones
Yes boarding school can suck but between being home alone rather than with friends/teachers who raised me, I know which I'd pick. Most of my friends from college did not come from the same privilege I did and their parents also worked super hard but they didn't have the resources to pay for something like boarding school. I consider myself very fortunate!
Boarding school gave me community and an amazing education. My parents placing me there and paying for me was them taking care of me. And I can recognise that I'm extremely privileged for being able to have that education
(On anon because it's personal but no pressure to reply if you don't feel like it isn't relevant)
I think people throw around terms like negligence and abuse way too often when it comes to Tim without actually knowing what those terms mean and it results in people getting the wrong idea about his child hood which like considering I also grew up in a household were I never saw my parents since they both went out to work before I woke up in the morning and weren't home till after I went to sleep I don't get the fuss parents need to work it happens doesn't qualify as neglect and yeah we can talk about boarding school and how they can be good and bad but Tim never seems to have a problem with his and yeah I still think it would have been worse for Tim if his parents had flown him off to every corner of the earth like that's no life for a child

last night my upstairs neighbor was blasting:
- fix you by coldplay
- the scientist by coldplay
- someone like you by adele
and then silence.
sounds like a break up to me.

I love watching historical fiction shows with burly men in it because all I keep thinking is “a smartphone would kill that man”.

Ignore that uncool anon, what are your favorite colors.
LETS GOOOOOO
Green's hand's down favorite, been my favorite for years
Blue and purple have been creeping up for a while now to probably tie for 2nd
Pink and orange probably sit in tied 4th. Orange used to be my second favorite until I realized that green and orange together is just... the UGLIEST combination of colors, and since then it's been slowly dropping
