If You Want To Or Have A Reason You Use One Instead Of The Other Add It. I Know It Is Most Commonly Used

That’s exactly what I thought about his speech as well!

I mean, Jayce was literally straight up telling Viktor that he was always beautiful to him. With all of his different sides, problems and quirks. Including his disability. Differently than Viktor, I think it’s pretty clear that he never saw Viktor’s disability as anything that made him “lesser” than anyone else. Sure, he wanted to help Viktor “fix” his illness so he could like, LIVE. But he never wanted to turn Viktor into someone non-disabled, he didn’t see the need for it, because Viktor’s disability is simply a part of him, not a problem to “fix” and forget about. Jayce’s entire speech is pretty much a rejection of that the idea of perfection that Viktor seemingly carried with himself for years.

Pretty much “You don’t need to be perfect to be lovable, you don’t need to be perfect for me to love you. Because if you were perfect, you wouldn’t be YOU.”

I don’t often make my own posts, but I’ve been going a little insane about some of the posts I’ve been seeing about Jayce’s speech to Viktor in the finale.

So many people are like “um, Viktor had a terminal illness, how can Jayce tell him he was never broken??? He was DYING??”

And like, yeah. He was. But this isn’t Jayce ignoring that.

He’s acknowledging it by telling Viktor: You aren’t defined by your illness. You might have felt like you were lesser, or broken, or imperfect because of it, but I need you to know that you’re worth just as much as anyone else. And I understand everything you’ve done, because you’ve been hurting. And I love you anyway.

He’s not saying “your illness didn’t matter”. He’s saying “just because you were disabled doesn’t mean you’re worth less”.

I thought it was actually a really beautiful way of tackling the way that people who are disabled or chronically ill are viewed by others, or even by themselves: either defined entirely by their disability/illness, or considered lesser. Or how disabled/ill people are only allowed to be happy and inspirational messages that people can do anything, or they have to be sad figures incapable of anything and only deserving of pity. And this is Jayce saying no, that isn’t all you are. He’s showing Viktor that he sees all of the complexity, and the hurt, and he sees ALL of who Viktor is.

Anyway, I’m tired, and this isn’t all articulated perfectly, but I wanted to throw it out there.

Neues Fandom + neuer Song = Beste

Wisst ihr, immer wenn ich ne neue Phase wegen eines neuen Fandoms bekomme, verknüpft sich das ganze auch immer mit der Musik die ich grad höre. Jedes Mal. Obwohl häufig die Musik vielleicht noch nicht mal wirklich dazu passt, assoziiere ich dieses Fandom trotzdem immer mit diesem einen Song und umgekehrt. Find‘s immer ein bissl witzig, wenn ich dann in andere Fan-Playlists gucke und die Songs die ich damit verbinde natürlich so gar nicht darin vorkommen. Meine neuste Obsession: Spatort (Tatort Saarbrücken, für die die das nicht wissen) gepaart mit dem Song „See You Again“ von Roosevelt. Passt wahrscheinlich so gar nicht zusammen aber scheiß drauf.

Leo + 💪

Shit

ARE YOU TODAY’S DATE?

BECAUSE YOURE 10/10

please

I’m so happy that even if I never come out to my family or even if they end up not accepting me, I’ll have a friend group of mostly queer people who will do all that shit with me

(kinda tearing up rn ngl)

Unfriendly reminder that while you're busy mourning the loss of your childs old gender, claiming you need to mourn the death of your son/daughter, there's a group of boys/girls/enbies scrambling to take your kid clothes shopping, snatching up the chance to take those "first" experiences from you forever. Your sons first fishing trip is gonna be with his best bros, your daughters first makeover is going to be with her girl friends, your kids first camping trip out as themselves is gonna be with the besties. Good luck getting those bonding experiences back. While you're busy trying to guilt-trip your kid with your weird manufactured parental trauma, there's a whole community ready to take your place as the better family.

Your loss, someone elses gain.

Exactly das woran ich auch gedacht hab! Ich hoffe wirklich, dass irgendeine Art von größerer Verletzung oder Abwesenheit von Leo mal dafür sorgt, dass Adam sich darüber im klaren wird, wie wichtig er ihm wirklich ist.

(Dafür müsste Leo dann aber offensichtlich nur verletzt und nicht gleich tot sein..)

ohhh aber das heißt dass wir jetzt einmal ohne Adam ermittelt haben (HdS), einmal (teilweise) ohne Esther (KdE) und einmal ohne Pia (EdN), vielleicht ist ja jetzt Leo dran? ich fände es super interessant, wenn er für einen Großteil der nächsten Episode im Koma bleibt, und der Rest des Teams dann ohne ihn ermitteln muss. und es wäre natürlich eine perfekte Gelegenheit für Adam, darüber zu reflektieren, was Leo ihm wirklich bedeutet.
