 jay, dearest. therapy would have been easier <3 

this poor kid and his grief over a terrible man. and then in a terrible situation comes to the wrong conclusion????? his dad fucking SUCKED dude like dude your dad is not a whale you are desperately trying to make sense of a bad situation and your dad DID suck even though you did love him and he is not a whale!!!!

i had some additional thoughts of the "reading WAY too far into things and interpreting them wildly different than i think they were intended" way but they will stay locked with me.


should i read hatchet 2: he hatchets again
