    On RUclips, every now and then I will search for or YT will give me the clip of Ivy Tran: Mall Detective. It holds a special place in me - Probably cause I used to really want to write mystery novels as a kid, but creatively I've gone in a different direction in my writing (more of a modern fantasy gal now). This video hits the nail on my coffin of 1) why I love this show 2) My own creative struggles, especially as of late (standing at 9 project files with only 3 being worked on). Thank you for opening up and sharing your experience - I very much appreciate it.

    i’m a very old farm boy & haven’t regularly watched tv since the early 1980s so many of these were a new experience although i have a feeling the farm danger film was updated in the 1980s & of more gruesome or dramatic nature. Hey - very old folk might have noticed the anti drink drive Barmans’ impression of the lads’ dad was actually a fairly decent impression of Harry H Corbett from Steptoe & Son. I literally expected him to add “ You dirty old man !! “ very extensive - must’ve taken up a lot of your time. Thanks from woods near Bournemouth 😃🐢🐀👽🍒

    Graveyard of Memories sounds like it could be the name of a Halo 3 soundtrack for Gravemind/Cortana. Liminal spaces on a Halo could serve a real purpose. Like a long, narrow, empty room with a door at the end with openings in the floor by it for pop up beam turrets in a Flood containment facility and the only purpose of that room is a killbox and bottleneck for the Flood. Only one way in or out if they get that far. You wouldn't know unless you were caught in it and the defenses are activated.

    I appreciate her empathy and getting many out of right wing politics. However, she is ultimately not really that left wing and is pretty much a liberal. That’s better than right wing but now that I’m fully left wing her videos don’t get me anymore. I don’t hate her or love her, but a lot of her ideas are cringey tbh.

    The reason why Büchner’s Woyzeck appears to be lack temporality (thus making it appear strikingly modern for an 1837 play) is due to the fact that the sheets of paper on which it was written were found scattered on the floor in the author’s home after his death (his brother found them if I’m not mistaken). It’s not a suggestion that the scenes could be rearranged in any way, there is actually not a true order that we know of today. Anyways, great video man. I’ve been studying and rereading and playing and getting inspired by Sarah Kane for a few years now and she needs to be heard of more outside of the niche community of people that happen to stumble upon her. She truly was a genius, an exceptional playwright, a flame burning so hot that she couldn’t be but a spark. If anyone wants to get to know her better I recommend first reading all five of her plays (Blasted, Phaedra’s Love, Cleansed, Crave, 4.48 Psychosis), they aren’t that long and are usually published together in a single book, and the reading “Love Me or Kill Me” by Graham Saunders, a deep dive into her work with interviews with people that knew her and worked with her.

    Watching Good Damage is an awful experience for me because of how real it is. Every time in my childhood that I was facing adversity after adversity and never got a fucking break from bad thing, traumatic thing, torture #3, existentially terrifying trauma #4, I coped by jokingly saying “my college essays are gonna get me into wherever I want now”. I’m writing my college essays now. These words echo in my head. What will I do after I submit these essays and that trauma isn’t worth anything, and it just exists in all its awfulness? What was it all for? What if it’s too much, and not marketable enough to get me anywhere? Am I doomed? What this episode conveyed is *awful*. This is such a good show.

    Diane’s struggle with writing about trauma is definitely something I can relate to. I’m not a pro writer yet, but I aspire to be one and, honestly, I admit I could never write about my hardships. Ever. They might become elements of a backstory for my characters, but there is inevitably a difference added to the mix. Nothing wrong with escapism or taking only elements of your story to create a character. Personally, I’m motivated when the few people who read my stuff say that it helps them feel better or distract themselves. Plus, Diane can still explore mature topics via Ivy Tran if she wants. Maybe Ivy also has to cut off a friend or maybe he dead father was not the idealized image she had in her memory. Maybe her mom starts dating and Ivy has to deal with the awkwardness of having a stepparent and maybe a stepsibling.

    I'm a comic artist, and a lot of comic artists do diary comics. So I was between projects and thought "I'll do one about my life." The year I decided to do this, I got laid off from my job and had a long-term relationship end. I was spiraling by the end of the year. I ended the comic because it just reminded me of a traumatic time in my life. It's not available anywhere online and it never will be. Everything from then on is all metaphor, because telling it as it happened was too much for me.

    Absolutely right. So if the character is an 18 and a half year old ginger-headed gay guy with a stutter from Huddersfield, how can anyone but another 18 and a half year old, ginger-headed gay guy with a stutter from Huddersfield possibly play him? I mean, his intersectional trauma is so specific and unimaginable to a mere actor.

  • @gaspingseal542

    she went to vietnam to "find herself" and she realized it's bullshit because nobody belongs anywhere and nobody exists on purpose and while the entire "finding yourself" crap is about taking a trip around the world and realizing that your place is where you make it diane was angry and annoyed she went all the way to the country of her ancestors and... she was just a tourist there she was a vietnamese girl in vietnam and got offended that other american tourists would assume she doesn't speak english the whole episode REALLY ends the charade show presents her as moral compass for others as morally correct and "dog days are over" shows her for what she truly is a self centered hypocrite who is very quick to point out faults in other and even go on entire rants about it but never taking any self reflection

      Getting annoyed that American tourists assume you don't speak English because you look Asian _even after you explain that you're American in perfect, American-accented English_ is completely reasonable. There is an element of hypocrisy in that Diane herself displays some American tourist stereotypes in Vietnam (she went without learning the language or any of the local customs,) and she doesn't fully address them, but she was completely in the right during the "I am American" argument. Before she opened her mouth? Honest mistake. After she opened her mouth and said she was American and they still talked to her like she didn't understand English? Racist.

    I guess one of the most interesting things about PIFS (Yes, us bloody Yanks called them PSA's) was the timeslots and usage they had. Most of the nightmare-inducing ones never made it to children's programming blocks, unless they were dealing with Anti-drug campaigns. When got into Broadcasting classes in high school, we had MASSIVE amounts of PSA's, and I came to learn they were used as filler for commercial breaks to fulfill some sort of government awareness program for TV viewers. So we got to pick and choose the most Trauma-inducing ones for our High school local cable access programs. "and we'll have more about this weeks football highlights after this break" Run a sponsored spot RUN A PSA ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE/KIDS PLAYING WITH GUN WHERE A TEDDY BEAR IS SHOT AND BLOOD GOES EVERYWHERE "Coach joviality talking about the win against our hated rivals." I'm going to be fair, the one that got me badly as a kid was a AD Council drunk driving classic. Scared me to death as a kid and I would run screaming from the room if it came on, only ran during watershed hours (after 8pm). Its even got Michael Jackson's "Beat it" Prominently playing in the background. ruclips.net/video/262r7Wuut2A/видео.html
