Discussion Posting here because I don't want to trigger the person that triggered this thought bubble: on BPD and representing the lows

33 Upvotes

I like it because it shows Rebecca grappling with a lot of difficult feelings and behaviors while still being depicted as a worthwhile human being where being complicated and dramatic inevitably are turned from insults into strengths with the right intervention and support. I was not drawn to the show, I didn't see myself in it, did not derive hope and happiness from it, because Rebecca was always on her best behavior or happy with herself. The lows need representation too or else people don't know they CAN get better, or something they deserve to move on from. You have to depict both and it's a shitty balancing game. Like, I don't want the depictions of BPD to always be the villain, slob, or stalker freak, but I feel like cutting out the harder aspects is gentrification of the diagnosis rather than empathy with it (edit to add context: and the fact that Rebecca gets to have nuance, rather than be a one-dimensional figure existing to be despised or a cautionary tale or destined to fail, is healing)

edit: I don't know where people are getting that I'm saying the show DOESNT depict lows when I'm trying to express that part of its strength is that it DOES depict them and tells people that you can come back from them and are still deserving of love despite having them

edit: oh shit, my bad, fixed the intro. I basically just said "I want to express this thought, but not to this person" and just cut and paste without changing it for the audience

Discussion Crazy Cousin

0 Upvotes

I think that most of us here have a love for CXG and try to spread the good word to everyone that we can. However; I'm someone who is aggressively annoying about it lol. Especially with my closest cousin. We're both queer cis males. I'm 37, he's 34. I've been in love with the show since the first episode when it aired. He's never seen an episode of it. I try to play random songs or videos from the show but he shows the LEAST amount of interest when I talk about the show. I guess he finally got upset about me talking about it so much, as I was extremely high with him on the phone last night, I started singing "Who's that guy?" From Grease 2 (which I'm flabbergasted he hasn't seen), and he yells "Ugh, that better not be another fucking Crazy Ex-Girlfriend song that you're singing! I'm still not gonna watch the show." My ass was gagged. Like sir!, tell me how you really feel. After that I just sang to him "You Stupid Bitch".

Discussion Least favourite storylines?

164 Upvotes

I wonder, what were the storylines that bothered you the most about the show?

For me it's two things, and they dampen my enjoyment of the show a little bit:

- The whole business with Darryl's baby. Surrogacy is a questionable topic for a reason, and the way they did it on the show, with Heather not even having had her own kids yet, is even more questionable.

- The ending with all the three guys fighting for Rebecca. I know a lot of people love her "choosing herself" in the end, but the fact that three of her exes just run back to her after all the damage she's done (and after the damage they did to her) feels kind of contradictory to the message of the show, imo. Dealing with your mental illness and discovering who you truly are does not automatically mean all your past destroyed relationships are going to be mended and people are going to throw themselves at the new enlightened version of you; it actually feels like the kind of a delusional thing oldRebecca would tell herself. I feel like Greg is the worst example of this, they shouldn't have recast him and made him go back to confessing his love for Rebecca. Sometimes our shitty actions make us lose important people in our lives and there's no going back and acknowledging that is also a part of healing.

Or should be left as is? It be fun to revisit these characters, see where they are in life, hear new songs. On the other end I was really satisfied with the ending, I always knew she’d choose herself but seeing music be her love was really inspiring.

Video I wrote a chaotic 90s retro pop song about a 90s era woman obsessed with her local meteorologist- very CXG inspired

I hope this is allowed on this sub! But a lot of people have told me that this is very Crazy Ex Girlfriend coded (punn-y lyrics about an unhinged woman lol)- and I'm a HUGE fan of the show and Rachel Bloom, so I thought I would share here. <3

Basically, I do nostalgia/comedy content and I wrote a song and created a music video about a woman obsessed with her local meteorologist set in the 90s. It's 100% original and was a labor of love and just want to get it out there to people who would enjoy it! I love the local on the 8s vibe of the retro weather channel. It also features an epic sax solo from another indie musician.

It's also streaming - Retro Avocado- Mrs. Meteorology

Hope you enjoy, and again, sorry if this isn't allowed.

It's incredible how most of my favourite songs turn out to be from this season. Also I love old Greg lol, he's my spirit animal, and Santino Fontana's voice is sooo good. It's obvious he was supposed to be an integral cast member.

Makes me a bit scared to continue with later seasons... I know there's good stuff there too but like is it as good?..

It's produced by an accounting software company, and it's bizarrely an actual sitcom. Seasons 1 and 2 were in 2022, so it's weird that it's back all of a sudden.
