#why do i even care

[greaseonmymouth]

i am perhaps several years (and books*) late to this but I've been wondering where the hell does Carl live. I put him in Brøndby in my latest fic** based on nothing but the vibes of his terraced house as seen in the films - a common type of house in suburbs of Copenhagen and considering the colour of the wood and bricks inside the house it's probably one of those solidly built mid-century brick houses rather than a modern one with cement and cladding - and for some reason I couldn't put my finger on, this particular one gave me a Vestegnen vibe rather than a, say, Amager vibe or Nordsjælland vibe idk. so I went with Brøndby

and now I think? I might have been right??

I was rewatching Kvinden i Buret again, as you do, and at the start of he film as the intro credits roll, we see Carl commute in on the S-train. as the train pulls away we see it's a Linje B train (that green square on the back of the train is the Linje B marker). (Copenhagen central station, KBH H, is a mere 6 minute walk from politigården.)

the interior view of the train, which I do not have a screenshot of because I kept getting a black screen for some stupid reason, shows the stops in the background but it's too blurry to make out where on the line he is so he could be coming in from the north rather than the west, but I'm choosing to believe he came from the west. he could be as far out as Albertslund but I think Brøndby is a better fit for like...his general vibe. he just doesn't seem like somebody who'd enjoy living in a snobby area, lol.

depending on where he lives in Brøndby his stop would either be Glostrup, Brøndbyøster (both Linje B) or Brøndby Strand (Linje A), but since he came in on Linje B and not Linje A (blue) and since Brøndby Strand is more of a villakvarter type area I think somewhere along the west end of Linje B makes sense. i mean he could also have been dissociating on the platform for long enough that his Linje A train has left and the next Linje B train has pulled in instead, but I don't think that's very likely

*haven't read them

**for those who don't know: Assad's argument that it's easier to get to work from Nørrebro is absolute garbage, or at least it was up until 2019! the s-train commute from Glostrup to KBH H is like 20 minutes direct but from Nørrebro you had to take 1-2 buses to get into KBH H and either way it would take you at least 30 minutes. unless you cycle, in which case you can make it in like 15 minutes, but neither Carl nor Assad strike me as cycle commuters so moot point, and driving to work when you live and work that centrally is just fucking stupid, neither of them seems to have a car either (the car they are using in the film seems to be a 'company car' even though it doesn't have yellow plates). in September 2019 the new Metro ring (Cityringen) opened which does have a direct line through Nørrebro and into KBH H and also takes about 20 minutes. in-fic by the time Assad makes that argument, I am reckoning the timeline of him convincing Carl to move in with him is in the second half of 2019, so he's right, but he also had to time his argument very very carefully lmao

Embarrassing being an adult and crying over not understanding your homework. I'm 28 years old. This is so fucking stupid

Okay I feel like I'm complaining a lot lately and I'm sorry, I don't want to be like this but I just don't get it.

I received a comment on one of my stories that I hadn't updated in months. And the comment was very motivating, short but they let me know just how much they like the story and I actually ended up writing a new chapter within the next week.

No reaction on the new chapter and I'm just sitting here not getting it.

I don't know. Maybe I'll get another comment when it once again takes me months to update the story?

But why not comment when you read the chapter? I mean usually my muse decides which story to work on but there are occassions I want to write but don't know on which story and in that case I usually go by popularity of the story. The less comments a story gets the less likely it is that I force myself to sit down and work on it.

I don't know. I just don't get it. And it makes me kinda sad. And it's not like we're talking about indepth paragarphs of comments here, I get that those take time and need to be done when you have the time. I get that, I write those comments on stories and it takes a lot of time and often at least one reread of the chapter.

I'm talking about the "great story, liked the new chapter can't wait for the next one" comments. Which I love and appreciate just as much. I just like reactions and to me a kudos isn't much of a reaction. It's a "this story's alright and I'll read it but it's not good enough to use words to tell the author how I feel about it." And that might be unfair but it's just how I feel.

Now I'm wondering if I'm the only one who feels that way about kudos. Let me know your thoughts on them.

I guess my rant is done and I'm going to try and get my as out of the self-pity zone it is currently in and into doing something productive.

Can't bring myself to write though...

Vent:

I can't even guarantee that I'll ever get the help I need.

Last year my mom told be I could have a therapist, but I never got one.

I decided not to ask her again

If I got one they might make sure that they are a Christian therapist. Which would severely limit things I could talk about.

I just decided it would be better if that didn't happen

Like yeah, I'll never get anything if I dont ask. But why would I ask if this would happen?

That just doesn't make.any sense.

The closest I ever got to it was when I was getting diagnosed for Autism and ADHD

But I only went 2 times

And we didn't even do anything

And don't mean it was boring

But it was just the basic diagnostic questions you would hear.

Except when she asked about bullying

And I was confused

shouldn't have been

But I was 12 so that's a good excuse

I’m sorry but I’m ABSOLUTELY DOWN FOR THE SHAMING OF KYLIE JENNER. 🤷🏽‍♀️ The way she’s polluting our fucking earth to avoid having her driver take her 20 minutes in a 400k car. FUCK her. Public humiliation is absolutely a form of retribution and reparations when the wrap sheet begins with ultra privileged, cancerous body images used for profit, exploitation of human beings in the many scams… I… 🤭 I’m sorry I’m not sorry. Unpopular opinion but the downfall of the most openly and selfishly exploitative family, THE Kardashians, will be DELICIOUS.

Wait, WHAT DO YOU MEAN Fatou didn't get the birthday celebration party of the century?

So, Yara and Isi left??? And some random people showed up, while Zoe didn't (even though they told us so in the chats?!)??? And Ava was in the background the whole time at her besties 18th birthday??! Oooh, and what do you mean, Mailin got an Abi celebration party? ARE YOU SERIOUS??!

I was so prepared for the Zara first kiss, for a Kieu My/Isi/Yara dance montage... Just for my favorite queer people being iconic.

Apart from that, i just wanted Ava and Fatou being iconic besties, kieutou being in love and Fatou being in the center of everyone's attention, receiving lots of gifts and love. You know, keeping my expectations low... And they even managed disappoint with that, because suddenly MAILIN IS GETTING CELEBRATED FOR NOT APOLOGIZING, WTF???!! Oh, and some Failin Cringe, wooow, never seen that before, very original.

genuinely nothing hurts more than missing a sibling you know never thinks about you

[onequestofnonsense]

I hate how just one sentence from someone that is not essential in my life can turn my whole day upside down. 

How a few words can just deteriorate everything and have me shaking and frightened and on edge like I’m hiding from an assassin set on my tracks or something. 

To be or not to worry, I guess.

[wicked-witch-ofthe-east]

How can one not hate the world in which they see?

Full of greed and commodities.

I grow tired, I grow dull, and still I see

all that is being taken away from me.

Why is it we can’t stop pretending?

The end is coming

The end is coming

The end is coming

My friend's reaction to the fact that the queen might be dead has me in tears

[crushedbook]

Traitor

You are a traitor.

Everything you did to me I will take it no more; I shall leave you and move on. But can I?

You were my light in this world of darkness but what did you lead me to? Endless sorrow.

I cannot help but remember you, for you helped me live. Even if it led me to damnation, I still won't let you fall.

[atomically-time-travelling]

My feeling are colorblind... I'm just so confused.
