Lars is traumatized by sex. I don't nescessarily mean that he was abused in that way, the movie doesn't tell us that (it's left vague). What I mean is that probably the first thing that Lars ever learned about sex is that it makes babies. Babies that kill mothers, and destroy fathers, who then hurt the baby. I think he would love to want nothing to do with it. But then Margo shows up. So he goes to work and he desires her, and he's inundated with sex there thanks to his pervy coworker. And then he goes home, and the reminder of what sex does is aggressively asking him to dinner.

Sex = death, and he's so afraid Karin is going to die, and he's so afraid of Margo and how she makes him feel, that he has this life-ending potential in him, so he blows off energy spending time with his wood (heh, metaphor), but it's not enough, it's like a runaway train, and it's making him more and more stressed until he snaps. And then Bianca.

Happy pride to my dad who said he hated gay people because he was raped by men when he was child...and then raped his eight-year-old daughter

Happy pride to my dad who acted disgusted by a brief comedy scene with two women kissing, even though he watched lesbian porn

Have you seen this panel? Because friend, what the hell.

I wonder how everyone would react if this got out.

Like doesn't the poor kid have enough trauma already.

Dude that was genuinely uncomfortable like what the hell fr.

Leave him alone, why do they put him through stuff like this, he doesn't need it. Please for the love of god can't they just leave him alone???

11, 6 and 20 please and thank yaaaaaa!!! 💖💖💖

Hi bb!!! I love your main so much!!! 💕💕💕 I figure you meant 16? But just in case I did 6 too LOL.

6. Where are you right now?

On the couch at home, half-watching a crime doc.

11. Do you live in an urban, suburban, or rural area?

Suburban. A quintessential southern neighborhood that looks like mayberry lol.

16. If you go to therapy, do you like your therapist?

I did therapy. One ocd/anxiety specialist, and one for depression. The ocd woman was more helpful for my ex than me. I didn’t like some of her practices (they were unnecessarily torturous and took many months longer than necessary for my ex because she refused to let him get on meds til he mentally mastered his ocd/anxiety raw. Pure. Torture). BUT I will say, she was able to get him to cut the crap and shut off his endless ocd mental thought process, so that was worth it. Once I got on zoloft, my anxiety and ocd immediately became relatively manageable. It didn’t take much coaching/learning to get a handle on ocd/anxiety, so I didn’t need the therapist extensively like the ex did.

It took me trying three psychiatrists to find one I was comfortable with. My depression psych was great. Very empathetic. Very tender and soft. A true gentle parent style that really meshed well with me feeling safe enough to be vulnerable- which is huge for me because I have extreme ptsd; and panic any time I am in a medical environment; because I was raped, sodomized, and molested internally and externally by a doctor in my 20s; which made going to any doctor, the equivalent of walking into the lion’s enclosure at a zoo during dinner time. I barfed all that tmi info to normalize talking about assault and let others know you’re not alone.

20. If you could revive one tv show that has been cancelled, what show would it be?

Schitt’s Creek and Gilmore Girls. I deeply love both shows, and WEEP at the series finales, no matter how many times I watch. When Rory says goodbye to Logan and the boys in the “year in the life”?? I weep uncontrollably. I literally can only watch it when I’m mentally prepared to lose it. 😂 So I would LOVE to get more time with all those beloved characters.
