Re: Disappointments

I was REALLY excited for this one fic and then it was "lol mental illness" time, and this crazy coalie's feelings were hurt. (At least it wasn't my gift.)

Re: Disappointments

Oh no, was it at least tagged? Although I guess for it to hurt your feelings it would have been in the wild, which sucks.

Re: Disappointments

Nope, not tagged in a way that could have tipped me off.

Sucks :(

As another crazy person, sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one that prefers characters with mental illness? I don’t like “actually Loki is on the spectrum and that’s why he’s an asshole” fic, but if someone has textbook behavior I’d rather them just be what they are rather than “weird” or “evil”. It feels like the difference between “gay for you” and just making a character gay/bi, if that makes sense...It gets tiring seeing someone being completely x and the narrative acting like it’s a unique thing when there is a whole field of diagnosis.

Anyway bluh sorry rant.

Don't be sorry, I actually agree with you on this! The fic I'm talking about has a psychiatrist giving a character antipsychotics because it's easier than dealing with her, on the suggestion of the character's daughter. :/

ayrt

....Yo, what? That sounds like just drugging/committing (don’t even know what to call it) not an actual mental illness? And they didn’t tag?? Yikes city.

i pre-kudosed that one based on concept, but then the antipsychotics happened and i was like :///

it would have been so good if they'd just left that part out!

Re: Disappointments

SA: i even have similar fits to that character and can laugh at how ridiculous i get sometimes but i wasnt laughing at that part

Is this the same fic with "lol marital rape" because I was not impressed! There were tons of lolzy things this historical figure did, people! You don't need to go there!

Re: Disappointments

Yeah, I read this today (after seeing it show up on a billion rec lists) and was similarly unimpressed and a little disgusted. It gave me that woozy "in what universe would this funny" feeling that only comes from really dire black comedy. I know people's tastes vary, but I really think this is getting recced on concept and not execution.

NP, coalie. I think it's the only Margery Kempe fic in the collection and an anon upthread mentioned that, so I hope it's the right one, my apologies if I got it wrong
