i just can't stop turning this episode over in my head, i'm so unbelievably happy that mac's coming out was taken seriously. i'm so grateful for this episode (even if it's a bit offset by the fact that i'm not actually out yet, my joy is still there). i have so many feelings and not enough space to share them all, but like, i hope you get what i'm saying here
i totally, totally get what you’re saying. this episode affected us all, because we all can relate to it so hard. out or not, we feel the emotions mac is feeling. and it being represented in such a unique and raw way is what we all needed tbh. even just like..the pain that mac felt, i never understood it fully until now and fuck it’s so real for me too. it’s good to show the pain, even if that’s difficult or taboo or whatever media wants to make an excuse for, it’s real and people need to see it. and showing that literally not through words at all was such such a good choice. because it’s not black and white and these emotions can’t be explained so easily. as mac said, ‘instead of saying what i feel, i want to show you instead’. we’ve all processed the ep differently, some came out happy and others sad and those and all other reactions are completely valid bc like i said, these feelings, these experiences are not black and white. but ultimately, i think we’re all so grateful for this episode.
