please be patient with me im from the 1900s

What I think is one of the most subtle yet heartbreaking part of the film is that drop dead fred is clearly based off of lizzies father. When lizzies father leaves, that's when drop dead fred is sealed away in his box. The way lizzie talks about fred disappearing that day, you would think she's talking about her own father abandoning her. But lizzie was 5 when her father left, and it's understandable she doesn't talk about him much because she maybe doesn't remember him. But everything, from lizzie being afraid of being alone to her allowing abusive people to step all over her, is her abandonment issues. When her father left, lizzie lost the part of her that believed she deserved to be loved and only got it back when fred came back.

He has custody of his daughter for a reason

Having seen many movies with a similar premise, I was expecting Drop Dead Fred to be about Fred coming to life, maturing with the help of Lizzie, and then falling in love with her. I was NOT expecting this heartbreaking story about a broken woman who learns to stand up for herself and becoming comfortable with independence. I’m crying.

sometimes you just have GOT to get weird about someone's oc. embrace them. treat them like you would the main character of a hit tv show. blorbo from someone else' brain. it's good for you

Sounds like a magic the gathering mechanic

”okay but are you normal about-“ no. I’m an insane pervert.

everyone knows that space is very very cold, and the sun is very very hot. so i assume there's a bit of space kind of near the sun which is just right. balmy space

Yes, that’s. That’s where we are.

Shit...these are all my reasons
