i have a close relationship with my parents and sibling. none of us are perfect, but i love spending time with my parents and i live with my sibling. my relationship with my sis has def improved over the years too because we were at each other's throats as teenagers.

honestly if i won the lottery i'd just get a big ass house where i could be live on one side with my sis and my parents on the other or plots of land to be closer to one another. i miss having my parents close by, lol.

i don't really get the therapist's comments about wednesday in the video. she said stuff about wednesday figuring out who she is in terms of coming out of her dark/gloomy persona to become a regular girl. to me it seems like the therapist is framing wednesday's "i'm not perky, but i want to be..." scene as coming from a sincere place of questioning her identity... but the climax (i.e. the thanksgiving play) reveals that the whole thing was just an act. i never got the impression that wednesday was questioning shit, except maybe her feelings about joel lol.

i feel like if she is just seeing that 1 clip i get her interpretation. that's how i viewed it

[trynabme]

yeah. i think she was just framing it on that scene. Like for Succession she said shes never watched the show, so its possible shes never seen the movie to know Wednesdays full personality

My family are extremely homophobic, transphobic and sexist asf. So no we don't get along.

I've always had a great relationship with my parents and brother. When I read/hear about heavy family drama I just think it's wild and scratch my head because I can't imagine being horrible towards my family.
