I Can't Stop Sobbing - Tumblr Posts

9 months ago

I had to pause watching the 8th episode of The On1y One to write this down before I lose all my thoughts.

I don't think I've ever seen a parent-child conversation done so beautifully. I think the last one that moved me was Li Ming and Uncle Jim from Moonlight Chicken.

Both the conversations, Wang and his dad as well as Tian and his mom, was done so well. There was no screaming, no interruptions. Especially the one when they decidedly have the conversations on the roof and on the couch respectively, in the evening.

Seeing the boys fight through the pain to be honest with parents who have hurt them the most, by being absent in some or the other capacity, and find some sense of peace while reiterating that they find the strength now because they are not longer alone is what makes me feel so moved by it.

There are so many conversations I need to have with my parents but never have the guts to. I want to one day be able to talk like this to them.

I've trying to think if any piece of media has ever had such a civil but confronting conversation between parents and children but I'm unable to find even one and I think that's to show how commendable this is.

I'm still dying inside you fucking psycho GoT writers

Fuck all the writers and GRRM with a rusty spoon. I hate you all. The worst part is that I'll wait patiently for next Sunday so you can break my heart again. I must be a masochist. This is so not healthy behavior.
