That Man Is A Chameleon. If It Wasn’t For His Voice And The Fact That The Credits Say It’s Him. I

Okay, we all want more Klaus/Dave, but what a brilliant fucking way to write a relationship that embeds itself into your mind in just a handful of minutes.

Because you only every really see the relationship through the lens of how its loss destroys Klaus. We get to see a few flashbacks of good moments between them, but the majority of time we spend with the Klaus/Dave relationship is in the moments when Klaus is just pinning for what he lost. They took a guy who’s been doing drugs since his teens and made him say “I’ll stop for him”. They took a man who generally tries to turn everything into a joke or a snarky comment and made him ball up in the fetal position in the middle of the sidewalk in tears and agony. They took a guy who usually avoids confrontations and made him take on a bar full of veterans just for trying to get between him and a picture of Dave.

That is top notch writing to use the loss of a relationship you never really saw much of to impress just how real the relationship was, all by focusing on how you saw Klaus transformed by the loss of it.

What do Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, father figures of Peter Parker, and men who fall for Joyce Byers all have in common?

They fucking gone

I hate that no one talks about just how distressing memory loss from adhd actually is. I always see memes that are like “haha I forgot my phone, I don’t remember where my laptop is, etc”, but no one seems to talk about how it can really fuck you up long term to just, not remember things that are completely mundane to non-adhd’ers. The memory loss is, however, so frustrating to us. I cannot physically count how many meltdowns I have had over the sheer mental frustration and torture of not being able to remember seemingly simple things

I was today years old. That is disgusting.

No Child Left Behind is one of the worst things to ever be incentivized in schools. It was signed into law when I was 14. Reading Rainbow was my show as a kid. LeVar Burton played a big part in why I became an avid reader to date. The joy of it. It's an adventure around the globe and through different time periods without stepping on a plane or time machine.

Children parrot behavior. In grade school, I always wanted to read the same amount of books as my teachers (50 books) and managed to double that each year. Before No Child Left Behind, book fairs and Scholastic catalogs were a serious matter like your grandma's Fingerhut catalogs. Libraries were (and still are) a wonderland.

Reading comprehension and proficiency in schools has been declining for decades. A crisis. The joy of books isn't pushed anymore and I'm always saddened by it. It's one of the reasons why I post my book reviews and recommendations on here, as well as posts from others to encourage reading and (novel) writing. Kids will parrot your behavior while the education system sadly fails to return as that example.
