Random Things that Go Through My Head

The tone of a man about to ruin a relationship and revel in the destruction.

Never let anyone tell you Armand isn’t the funniest character in this show.

“When our childhood homes are chaotic and dangerous, we learn that the way to stay safe is to always be on alert — hypervigilant. Our nervous system never calms down because it’s constantly on the lookout for the next bomb that is going to explode [...] As the show goes on, we will learn that underneath Ilya’s extremely hard shell is the heart of a squishy teddy bear wrapped in a warm blanket, but it takes YEARS for Shane to see it. When we look at Ilya through the lens of what he learned as he grew up, it makes sense why he behaves the way he does. We can even have empathy for the level of hypervigilance and fear he lives with. I like to lay things out this way because it’s usually a hell of a lot harder to give ourselves that same grace. We have an idea of who we “should” be in our heads, and when we don’t live up to that we assume it’s because we’re a failure, a useless waste of space. None of that is true: we are behaving in ways that make complete sense when we understand how our nervous system was trained to respond to our environment.” — Reading Ilya Rozanov through the lens of trauma.

Imagine the worst most baffling airport in your country. Now imagine your parent had to have his messy emergency water birth at just before landing. Now imagine he panic-fucks off from the landing strip and leaves you on the plane. Now imagine you, the newborn, need to puke and shit and eat at the airport because it's hour zero of your vampiric life and you can't even walk. And now imagine there's jet engines taking off and loud speakers and lights and you hear every single thing. And you've already eaten the pilot AND the steward. And you're covered in body fluids. Like what in the world do you do
