the way that the shameless women view themselves is so interesting to me because that self-image alone drives so many of their actions and often leads them down destructive paths. when lip tells karen that she’s better than marrying jody she responds “i’m really not” or something along those lines. mandy tells the school counselor that her only options are getting pregnant or going to jail. fiona sabotages her relationship with mike because she doesn’t feel that she deserves a good job, relationship, etc. all three of them end up making terrible choices because of their hopelessness and lack of faith in themselves

by contrast, svetlana is someone whose been dealt a hand as equally shitty as the rest of them but unlike fiona, mandy, or karen she has never felt unworthy of a better life or like the possibility of having one is out of her reach. she respects herself and knows that she’s smart and capable whereas the others take on a more cynical and defeatist attitude that inevitably ends up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy

fiona, mandy, karen: external locus of control

svetlana: internal locus of control

We could all benefit from going to the Svetlana school of confidence

when I was a little kid at some point I got upset with my parents because I didn't have a crucifix in my bedroom and they did- I was like why do YOU get to be safe from vampires??? you're okay with me getting my blood sucked???? so we took a little trip to the catholic store but the one closest to us was run by a group of nuns that had been moved here from romania. I got a little baby pink cross and this sweet old nun was like 'aww, is this a baptism gift?' and I was like no. I need to be protected from vampires. and she immediately got SO serious and was like 'this is the best one we've got, you'll definitely be safe' and since she was literally from vampire land I was convinced she was like, van helsing. like the whole time my parents had been laughing about how cute my fear was but she literally Knew dracula and was taking my concerns seriously I held this over my parents for so long lmfao

Thanks I hate it: sarcastic disdain, you don't enjoy this at all
that's insufferable, I love it: prankster solidarity. A compliment for mischief.
You gotta try this dude, it sucks: solidarity through communal self-flagellation
It's terrible, watch it immediately: Your classic so-bad-it's-good media
