    That show Baby Reindeer really freaked me.

    The last few scenes. What did Gadd realise?

    Did he identify with his stalker’s pain or did he see that she and his other sexual abuser are a total psychopaths who knowingly plan out their abuse?

    Obviously both.

    The rage the abusers have when people try to protect themselves is just incredible.

    And abusers never learn, they are incapable.

      I didn’t like the very final scene, with him in the bar. Seemed a bit cliche.

        I think it was meant to be a “full circle” moment, where he is the one who comes in the pub with no money and a bit emotional.

        Except he didn’t go in there on purpose to look for victims.

        And I think it undercut the psychopath aspect of the people who abused him because the implication is that Gadd could become the stalker, which we know could actually never happen because he isn’t a psycho.

        Maybe the bar tender could become the next victim, eh.

    I uninstalled Path Of Exile without even playing it again because I knew the outcome would be headaches and nausea. Why do that to myself? The choices are limited because of preferring free games and having a Mac but I’ll find something else.

    Also I’ve been hunting down free public domain art books from reputable sources because I don’t want to go to random sites for downloads or click on random Google Drive links.

    Is the stuff from Project Gutenberg legal to download and share? I found some on the Internet Archive too but I think they got dinged for copyright infringement. (I applaud archiving and preserving despite legality, but do not have the money to potentially get sued.)

      There is a free Art library and book exchange near Victoria Market. Free art books! The range is dependent on donations.

        That sounds cool. It requires leaving the house though :(

        I’m mainly trying to track down OG instructional stuff. I found Morpho ‘Fat and Skin Folds’ but not the general ones or ‘Simplified Forms’ or ‘Hands’
