I fucking love gaining perspective from other peoples’ povs

Mikey really grew on me, he’s such a silly

Had to train myself out of doing my most enriching stim bc I keep bashing my head into the wall on accident sadge

Ngl I didn’t expect 2012 April to have so much character and agency. She’s legitimately just cool and initially well written. But well, she’s Donnie’s love interest. (Which is a whole other problem this show has; it’s female characters might be actual characters, but they’re still accessories in the sense they were written into the story to be love interests first, no matter how much other shit they have going on…) That is to say the narrative is trying to drive her character into the ground by forcing romantic tension in near every scene Casey’s in with her, and making her lead on Donnie on with the will they won’t they bs. 2012 April isn’t bad; the writing’s bad to her. And it makes me quite peeved to see because they were doing so well.

I really wish I understood people ever any of the time.

Was just thinking about how legitimately devastated 2012 April gets in the face of loss and stuff. She adds a level of depth to the story sometimes with her emotional responses, where the other characters kind of just go on with their day until the situation resolves itself. Then I remembered she’s the only female main(ish) character and it’s probably a result of sexism rather than weirdly isolated good writing.
