Every time I read one of those tradwife articles I'm so happy and excited to get up and work my boring manual job that pays me just enough to live and then go back to my own apartment which I rent and sleep in my own bed alone. Yet another satisfying day of pushing 30 with a career that is going nowhere 👌

Just finished the third season of Bridgerton (it was an incredibly frustrating watch)...People have said that Penelope is named as such because of her nickname Pen and her being a writer... but has anyone thought of the reference to the Odyssey and Penelope being the wife of Odysseus? You know, she had to be loyal for 20 years while Odysseus gallivanted across the globe and was distracted/cheating on her Circe? I feel like it goes with the whole Polin narrative too. She's the one who had to wait for him to get a clue. And if you've read the Penguin version of the Odyssey, you know everyone is like omg! Odysseus, so amazing, the sacker of cities etc. Which parallels Colin's "glow up". Totally think it's more of a literary reference since the two of them are writers...

that moment when st5 comes out in 2035 and minor st twitter fans become adults and that they realize they will have to watch children characters on their screen
no but you don't understand they'll just be children who will have grown up and become adults against their will whereas people who are adults now were evidently born 20

me when I step out of my specially curated tumblr circle and remember that nobody in any fandom ever gives a single fuck about female characters

the fact that dr. owens knew about henry and still disregarded will talking about The Evil that he'd encountered in the upside down that wanted to kill everyone except for him is so ..... crazy to me lol. he's the director of this lab. he knows what's happening, what has happened, was still working with brenner, knew that the gate was still open and spreading into their world at a rapid pace, and said that he'd been dreading this for some time. the lab records were never destroyed—all of the evidence was there and he was in charge of it. like. holy shit.
and the way he interacts with will versus eleven is so telling, too. with will, he grew a little colder / put up a front when first faced with this information before waving the byers away, telling them not to worry or think anything of it. and then with el in season four, he's chummy with her and has full faith in her from the very start. i don't know if anything would've changed had owens acted when will first told them what happened, but... it just makes everything so much more tragic to me.
will tells them the truth and what is coming and they call him a schizo and want to go ahead with the burn fully knowing and not caring that it will kill him. he's nothing to them. will was right and he wasn't believed, they didn't even want to hear him out until hopper and owens forced them to.
will has always been right there banging his fists on the wall and crying out for help, and yet no one sees or hears him. everyone puts this on eleven and doesn't see that will is right there and that they need him if they want to stand a chance. that he knows things they don't, that he has an advantage that they need but never utilize until it's too late. eleven closed the gate, but will is the one that spied back and told them to in the first place.
like. that's always the problem. they push eleven into things before she's ready and before it's even time, and they never listen to will when he first foretells this story or do anything to help him until it's already way too late. they look to her and only her, when he's always been right there. he has always been "R-I-G-H-T-H-E-R-E", trying with all his might to be seen and heard and acknowledged, and yet... it doesn't work. he rolls the dice, and tries his best, and it isn't enough. it always gets him. always.
