for some reason the most romantic thing i can think of is someone saying your name. the way it’s supposed to be said. early in the morning. late at night. mouth full of food. a whisper. in sob. in laughter. stuttering. idk there’s something about it that means more to me.

The hand wringing, the hands close to the chest, the scalp grabbing? Yeah, someone who worked on this has a panic disorder. Someone is very intimately familiar with how panic attacks and triggers and anxiety work.

I’ve spent the better part of my life being shamed by my parents for “looking like a crazy person” whenever I had a panic attack that didn’t make sense to them. My own father called me a stupid bitch. I was told that no one else acts like this.

There are a couple of reasons I cried at this movie, and this was one of them.

Stuff I loved about the new Grinch

- The Grinch doesn’t spend his days going nine million miles out of his way to be a cockshit. His usual method of dealing with Christmas is to stock up on food, hide away in his house, and stress eat until January.

- He dotes on Max, worries for him, and when he hurts his feelings, apologizes and tells him he’s a good dog.

- He’s decided that the Whos are deceptive in their sweetness, which masks their true nature as greedy and callous and materialistic. He’s perfectly capable and willing to be kind if you’re kind to him first in a way he can’t find a reason to doubt. 

- He’s not wrong, as the Whos are indeed portrayed as people. They’re a small community of 200 something, everyone knows each other’s name, and they’re by and large very warm and loving, but they’re people. The kids are really looking forward to that payload of presents. The carolers know this one guy hates Christmas, go out of their way to annoy him anyway, and inadvertently trigger him. Their orphanage, whether it was really that bleak and dreadful or the Grinch just remembers it being that way, utterly failed at least one child in their care.

So like there’s a part in the new Grinch movie where he nearly gets mobbed by Christmas carolers, but the thing  is they’re singing God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman which has enough blatant Christianity references to confirm that there is in fact both a Who Satan and a Who Jesus. A Whosus. Son of the Great Sam I Am-
