make us scream eternal joy

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to shove you when he’s angry.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to call you a dumbass or a bitch when you’re in an argument.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to threaten to leave the relationship every time you defend yourself.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to invalidate your feelings.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to not tell you who he’s with or where he’s going.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to keep making the same detrimental mistake over and over.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to use your insecurities against you.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to make you feel guilty for having desires and needs.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to tell you that you’re stupid when you cry.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to cheat on you because he’s “just a stupid guy.”

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to rely on you when he doesn’t do a thing for himself.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to hurt you intentionally.

please stop normalizing toxic romantic relationships. it’s not healthy for your partner to upset you and behave recklessly as long as he apologizes later. apologies mean nothing after he has repeatedly disrespected you. kisses and hugs mean nothing after he has repeatedly disrespected you. public displays of affection mean nothing after he has repeatedly disrespected you. promises mean nothing after he has repeatedly disrespected you. it is not okay for him to hurt you physically or emotionally because he said he’ll change. he hasn’t. he won’t. get out now because THIS! IS! NOT! NORMAL! other couples do not go through this. other couples did NOT have to go through this to be in a happy, wholesome place.

And not for nothing, but I think Laura needs some reassurance after these last couple episodes too. This is Laura ‘I know you’re not just doing this for me’ Hollis. The same Laura who once tweeted this:

I love you but

stop with the anglerfish for five fucking seconds and give your girlfriend a hug.

JP is occasionally inhabiting Perry’s body in an attempt to eventually gain full control of it, à la Voldemort and Ginny in The Chamber of Secrets. JP is evil and wants a body/to rule the school. Mattie recognized Perry because JP made Perry kill the newspaper staff and somehow Mattie saw it, or footage of it, or something! Or even more likely still, she knew JP and just recognized his vibe. She’s going to shed light at some point on who JP really is.

JP is glitching because he’s getting closer to having full control of Perry’s body!

He wasn’t a victim who was trapped in the library. It was a prison sentence because he did something heinous.

THIS FORESHADOWING IS INSAAAAAANNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!

LAF THINKS JP IS BEING TAKEN AWAY, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY PERRY!!!! JP IS TAKING PERRY AWAYYYY!!!!!

Carmilla Karnstein. We learned so much about her in these two scenes. Well. Sort of. I mean we learned about her through Mattie’s lens. Which is so different to observing her through Laura’s videos. Which I think in turn taught us a lot about Carmilla. Mattie wants to sit there and say that Carmilla you do this, Carmilla you do that. But in all honesty she doesn’t know the Carmilla that we know and I’m really hoping that Carm can stick to her guns and not fall into old patterns.

Me and wrackwonder were discussing this and she raised an interesting point in that Carmilla was the most loved of Maman’s kids, but arguably the most abused. I would concur, she was def the most abused and the most loved. Silas was essentially a prison to Carmilla. A prison she though she would escape by killing her mother. Yet she’s still trapped there. Laura by her side or not, she’s not in a good place right now.

What makes Laura different from all the others she’s been infatuated with? Laura is different because she is so stubbornly of her own mind. I can bet you dollars to donuts all the others that Carmilla was infatuated with were essentially in Carmilla’s thrall and she in theirs. The vast majority probably didn’t know she was a vampire either. Laura sees the whole of her and still wants to be with her. That’s the difference if you ask me. What’s gonna blow Hollstein apart is if Carmilla gives in to Mattie’s chiseling and her nagging insecurity. Similarly if Laura can’t move past feeling like a child all the time. Another bomb set by Mattie I may add. Mattie is just gonna chip, chip, chip away. I wonder how many of Carm’s other relationships she had a hand in fucking up. Plus Maman fucked up her relationship with Ell, so y'know. Wtf is up with these broads? Why is everyone so interested in having posession of Carmilla, romantically or not.

But at least Laura KNOWS that’s what’s going on to a certain extent. Ok, so she chose not to deal with it, and they need to talk to each other. But they won’t. Because it’s easier to focus on the task at hand and hope everything is ok. They’ll fight, they’ll break up, but that’s just good television. Ultimately they’ll be ok.

Know what’s terrifying me? Carmilla’s body language in Tuesday’s preview. Holy shit is that some Season 1 Karnstein. Carmilla is depressed again. She feels trapped again. The leather pants are back again.
