KURTARICI

İki kişinin dinamiklerini tüm çıplaklığıyla ele almak çoğu zaman çok yorucu bir eylemdir. Fakat insan psikolojisini en iyi şekilde gözlemleyebilmenin yolu sadece ortak yaşanmışlıkla sınırlı kalamaz. Kişinin kurduğu cümleler , satır aralarında personası hakkında pek çok demeç verebilir. Bugün , sizlerle bana yazılmış olan bir paragrafı psikoloji öğrencisi arkadaşlarımın da desteğiyle postüla biçiminde inceleyeceğiz.

(Yazılan hiçbir cümleyi değiştirmeyerek aynen addediyoruz)

1)”…tüm saygısızları unuttunuz her şeyle yüzleştiğiniz her şeye hazır olduğunuz insanın sizin bu yazdığınızı hiç okumayıp halka saygısızlık ve saldırmaya devam etmesini düşünün size hala saldırıyor suçluyor bok gibi bir şey değil mi” (Burada adıma Denis ; beyefendiye İsa olarak seslenmek istiyorum) Denis ,İsa’yı neyle suçladı? Kişide kendini acındırma ve kurban tavrı.

2)”…karşınızdaki insanın geçmişte yaşadığı bok gibi ilişkilerin hıncını sizden çıkarıyor sanki tüm sorumlu sizsiniz gibi hissediyosunuz…” Denis’in ona güvenip anlattığı şeyleri ona karşı kullanması. Geçmişten gem vurmak.

3)”Onun için bir haklı haksız Savaşı’ndan ibaret.” Manipülatif davranışlar, kişinin dile getirdiği sorunu ignorlayarak, önemsizleştirmek, “haklı haksız kavgasına çevrilme”adı altında asıl sorunu görmezden gelmek.

4) “İnsanların istekleri beklentileri bir olmayınca bozuluyorlar çabukca.” Her insanın isteği ve beklentisi farklıdır, ilişkiyi güzel yapan budur bu sayede uyum içinde dans edebiliriz. Valse yaparken birinin geri gitmesin lazımdır ki öteki ileriye gidebilirsin.

5)” Ve şöyle söyleyeceğim insanın değerini geçmiş ilişkileri belirlemez bu sadece gelecekteki ilişkisini etkiler, allah aşkına kim eski sevgilim benim sonraki ilişkimdeji davranışlarımı etkilmedi diyebilir ki.” Görülene göre kişiler ilişkiler ve iletişim farklılıkları birbirinden bağımsız olsa da aynı sorunları her zaman yaşayabilirsiniz. Yani; İsa kendine göre çok doğru fakat Denis gene kötü bir ilişkiden kötü bir şekilde ayrıldı.

6)”Erkeklikten bahsediyoruz kadınlıktan bahsediyoruz ama bu imgeleri bu rolleri ilk anne ve babadan öğreniriz aslında.” Öncelikle kadınlar ve erkekler birer imge olamaz. Bir insanın en aşağılık olduğu an ,ona emanet edilen sırları, anıları ve acıları silahlaştırıp kişiye karşı kullanarak, ruhunuzu onunla kirletme çabasıdır. Özellikle anne ve babadan, ailesel ilişkilerden kişiyi yaralayabilecek konulardan dem vurulması ,tehlikeli ve de güven zedeleyici bir durumdur. Kişide bir sorun olduğunun ima edilmesi veya hissettirilmeye çalışılması affedilemez bir durumdur.

7) “Ve bu insan sizi kırarken sizin kırmaya hakkınız yoktur suçlanırken savunmaya kendi fikrinizi belirtmeye belki de öfkeden çıldırıp sizin saldırmaya hak görülmez bu
Her zaman derler ya insan bazı şeylerin değerini kaybedince anlıyor diye
Umarım anlar herkes bir şeylerin değerini
Son ana kadar bacı oldum amım olundu kadın oldum
Sevdiğim kızdan beni güvende hissetirmiyorsun
Diye bir cümle bile duydum bazen sorun sizde değildir karşınızdaki insanın hayata olan nefretini size kusar her şeyi hayattaki tüm nefretini sizden çıkarır” İsa’ya göre hayattan nefret eden birini güvende hissettirmemek sorun değilken bu basit isteğin İsa’ya saldırgan ve ağır gelebilmesi üzerinde durulması gereken bir konudur. Kişi yüksek egosuyla kendini adeta yüce bir konuma koymaktadır ,bu da cümlelerden çıkarılabilecek kırılgan bir egoyu delalet eder. Hayat belirsizlik ve karmaşıklığın arasında bir yerde iken bu kadar kesin konuşabilmek büyük bilinçsizlik ve bilinçdışı arasında kayıplık göstergesidir. Kişinin karşıdan gelen kadın erkek rollerinde kadınlara atfedilen sözcüklere bu kadar içselleştirmesinin sebebi kırılgan erkeklik olarak da adlandırılır. Sağlıklı bir birey karşıdaki kişinin her ne kadar hakaret içermese dahi ona vajinaya sahip olduğunu belirtmesi heteroseksüel bir erkek birey için bir hakaret sözcüğü olmamalıdır. Karşıdaki her ne kadar hakaret olarak kullanmak istese de.

8) “Onu suçlamıyorum, siz de paramparça olursunuz kendinizi sorun hissedersiniz düzeltmeye çalıştıkça alttan aldıkça daha kötüye gider
Bu o iki insanın da suçu değildir böyle olması böyle yaşanması gerekiyordur.
Ne kadar sevsenizde sevginin de zararlı olabileceğini unutmayın
Kendinizden tabiki bazı sınırları gevşeteceksiniz
Ama benliğinizi asla kaybetmeyin o insan giderken onu da yanında götürür
Umarım bu insan harika bir hayat yaşar bi gün her şeyin farkında olur” Birey stoacı bir düşünce yapısına sahiptir. Fakat felsefi problemlerin aksine hayatta kişiler aldıkları aksiyonlarla yaşamlarını şekillendirir. Benlik kişinin gömlek gibi giyip bir ilişkiden sonra eski sevgilide unutulacak bir eşya değildir. Fakat benlik herkeste inşa edildi biçimde bulunamaz ,asıl imge de burada gömlektir. Sevgi normal koşullarda asla zararlı bir şey değildir. Zararlı olan bir şey sevgi olarak adlandırılamaz, keza sevdiğini iddia eden bir birey, bağ kurduğu insana geçmişinden ,aile yapısından ,ona zarar verebilecek herhangi bir konudan da vurmaz. Kendisiyle çelişmiş, sorun gibi hissettirildiğini söylerken aynı handikapa kendisi düşmüştür. Cümlelerinin hepsinde kendini kurban olarak görme motivasyonu vardır. Bu genellikle olgunlaşmayan bireylerde görülür. İlk paragrafta da anlaşılacağı üzere , “haklı haksız tartışması “ Denis’in dile getirdiği problemleri hiçe sayma ve kendini kurbanlaştırma vardır. Yeniliklere kapalı ve dar bir perspektif olarak adlandırılabilir.

9)”Kendine dikkat et.
Hayatında güzelliğin gibi güzel olsun
Başın ne zaman sıkıntıya düşerse bir arkadaş olarak burdayım, amlı bir arkadaş olarak ;)”. Bu cümlede yazarların yapabilecekleri hiçbir yorum yoktur cümle açık üç yaşındaki bir bireyin bile anlayabileceği bir yapıdadır.

10) “… Psikolojin iyi değil cidden psikoloğa git… benim suçum çok fazla onayladım tamam dedim her dediğine kendi çizgimi aştırdım…bana erkek ol erkek ol diyen insanın geçmişteki ilişkilerini…Eminim ki kimse ben gibi sevmeyecek seni çünkü her şeyin farkındayım senin de farkındayım…umarım değerimi anlarsın…bul erkeğini hadi görüşürüz…sen Denis’in hayaliyle iyi güzel sikis …ben İsa (Soyadı)…”. Kişinin gelecekten haber aldığını düşünmesi psikoz belirtileri gösterir. Gelecekle ilgili bu kadar kesin konuşabilmesi bu şekilde açıklanabilir. İlk paragraflarda da yapılan geçmişten gem vurarak kişiyi aşağılama bu paragrafta da yapılmıştır. Kişiye alttan alta değersizlik duygusu aşılanmaktadır. Yazardan başka alternatif bir evren asla olamayacağı düşüncesi, kişiyi yalnızlaştırma ve de problematik hissettirme çabası vardır. Dışlayıcı bir bakış açısı, kişiye “sen benim sevgilime layıksın” gibi cümleler kurarken aynı şekilde yıkıcı cümlelerle belirsizlik algısı kurarak manipüle edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Narsisizm ve tanrı kompleksi belirtileri de göstermektedir. Aradığın erkeği bul cümlesi oldukça sığdır, yazar burada Denis’in bir arayış içerisinde olduğunu belirtmektedir fakat kadınlar dünyada var olabilmek için bir sevgiye muhtaç değildir ,kendi oluşturdukları personaları ve kültürel birikimleri ile tek başlarına da var olabilirler. Bireyin tek başına kalabilmesi veyahut aza tamah etmeyerek yaşamak istemesi oldukça insansal ve de normal bir istektir.

Loneliness in alone world

Even if being in a big crowd ,u may feel the loneliness inside your body. Around the friends, family, class , in the concert, room , while walking on the street , having dinner, breakfast… The feeling of emptiness rots you from head to toe. Just pure, dark and infinite pain. You are an ufo unlike the rest of the world. Undefined, stranger, unknown and not even this world. It makes you feel like you are not even human. You are in deep , deep , deep , deep , in the deepest point on the Pacific Ocean; with many creature which are undefined and still no named. Today we’ll take the art of loneliness in our own style on this text.

Deny: state that one refused to admit truth or existence of.

Loneliness occurs denying the existence of feeling of you are not alone. You refuse to other people around you and think about the idea of everything, everyone against me and I am the wrong one , all the time. After a while , you start to believe this truth. You are denying that you have people. And it’s occurs self destruction.

Self destruction is one of the most misunderstood terms. Generally people believes that it’s includes only harmful actions ,such as cutting yourself ,but this is so missing. There are many kinds of destructive behaviors you may do. For instance, alcohol, drug addiction, casual sex, ironically avoiding and escaping from other ones and antisocial behaviors. You grow your own loneliness by escaping from the other ones. Or taking refuge in the people you love, but cannot take an action back ,so because of this, you feel heartbroken , undefined, unacceptable, forgotten and unnecessary. Then you start to looking for interest from the others. The bad ones, the using you and after that will throw you away immediately in a garbage, ones. The most painful part , you absolutely know the things will and already happened , but how painful the feeling of loneliness even if you know, you can’t stand to live like this just for a second and begging for love by making your face heartless and hanging out with the bad ones by crying inside. Most of people have sex with them , but do not show any emotion because of the self defense mechanism which is provides the idea of you are lonely , no one will accept you ,so do not look heartbroken and emotional because if they understands , they will destroy you.

Evangelion: In the 1995’s Neon Genesis Evangelion, loneliness is traps all of the characters and it’s reflects that their actions. Every character makes his own self destruction his own way. Shinji, makes Eva plotting even it hurts him psychologically and physically because he only forgets his loneliness and feel accepted while plotting Eva . Misato hooks up and she’s addicted to the alcohol. However, Asuka is the one of the most complex characters of the series because she denying that she’s need to anyone and she act narcissistic in her every action and she feels only anger. Only anger. She has a bound with Kaji ,who is a father figure for Asuka, she begs for interest from Kaji ,so she starts to sexualize herself to Kaji. Whenever Kaji says that she’s just a kid for him , she feels anger because she thinks that she unwanted an unaccepted. For entire series, Asuka and Shinji are totally have different actions from each other. Shinji is introverted, depressed, shy, emotional and sensitive. Asuka is extroverted, narcissistic, angry and she thinks that she hasn’t need to anyone. However, they are only come together in feeling of loneliness and unacceptance. For every episode Asuka always shows the biggest anger to Shinji because of the love interest for him. She increases to this anger day by day because even if she tries her own bounding style she cannot take a feedback from him. In the following chapters, she loses bound even with her Eva robot ,which is only thing she can feel connected. And she takes mental breakdown and climax. But even if every character has differences, their common point is loneliness and holding a thing for feeling less lonely.

YOU’LL GONNA FEEL “ISRAELITE”

Sex, drugs, money and all the hedonistic pleasures that we desired. They enter through our veins, blowing up our brain cells, u feel like holding the rest of the world in your hands. Dopamine bomb , bumphin that. Smash.

DAMN

In 2017 Kendrick Lamar released his seventh debut album DAMN. Due to the concept of the album, it follows a certain story about : mental breakdown which is came from after fame and commercial success. Album begins with a question that asks “Weakness or Wickedness?”. And all songs answer this question in order right after interlude ends.

Wickedness

DNA, ELEMENT, HUMBLE, LUST, XXX,DUCKWORTH songs about Kendrick’s wickednesses. I am not gonna dive into the every song one by one. But to summarize , Kendrick talks about how he is on top of the rap world, how rich he is ,etc. Christianity’s Seven Deadly Sins symbolization ,follows each and every song. He fuck bitches, murders, hits on the ground his enemies, uses drugs. All of the actions he did about, hedonistic pleasures, the desire of power and being on top of the world.

But if you take a close look in every Wickedness tracks, nothing really doesn’t gives him long last happiness unlike instant pleasures. Imagine even if you are one of the most successful and richest rappers alive, at one hit point , hedonism , pleasures doesn’t make him happy anymore.

Weakness

YAH, FEEL, LOYALTY, PRIDE, LOVE, FEAR, GOD tracks about, exact things what Kendrick really wants. He reaches more holly, calm, emotional and religious state unlike pleasures. He wants to feel loyalty and love.He wants forgiveness from his sins. He’s always suffers that the idea of Nobody prays for him. The whole album related to the religion, god, sin and Christianity somehow. He is looking for loyalty. He is looking for love because he’s feel himself Israelite. Cursed from God.

He regrets his PRIDE because he wants to be loved. He thinks that love gonna get him killed, but pride also gonna be the death of him. I believed that, even the terms of “kill and death” are the same things, Kendrick separates them in two ways. He might think that love is painful and heartbreaking, but at least love is a strong feeling and bound which is remembered that you are a human, unlike pleasure. However ,Pride symbolizes death of humanity because you are losing your feelings because of your pride. And after that, you feel like your soul gone forever. Maybe you lost yor love that you will never find again. Because day by day, we lose our innocence.

DESIRE OF CONTROL

Especially after rise of postmodernism and internet’s consuming culture, materialistic perspective effected each one of us. Sex, drugs, alcohol, food, etc. Like fucking “super rich kids” . The idea of reaching the top of the pyramid. Suddenly you find yourself that even food isn’t that much delicious anymore. Just nothing, empty.

As I observed, society started to make tactical , abusive , manipulative movements in their relationships. If you want to reach someone , you have to move tactical without any emotional experiences. You mustn’t chase your love because it’s gonna make you less desirable. You must act like you don’t give a fuck about peron that you love and threat them like a shit. If you do that they will become obsessed with you because exactly the most important thing not love or something it’s all about obsession and competition. Like a fucking game. But the most missed part is problematic and unsecured people returns bad treatments like that. I don’t wanna be with them. They are always the game who tires you without passionate and soft love. Waste of time because they don’t even love you, they are just eating your soul for feel themselves strong.

They don’t even try. They are always in the comfort zone. I hope that you find any courage to try. Even with someone else.

However the worst part is sometimes people you knew turns into a disappointment. They started to act like asshole unlike they used to. They just became heartless and totally different person that they used to. And you just feel sorry because you know that one day sex , drugs, nothing will not give them pleasure anymore.Everyone will feel “Israelite”

LOVE

“You live the love what society expected”

Sociological, scientific, psychological, philosophical, mathematical, biological,etc. Love have been examined in every possible field that we could explain. I believe that this is because of the confusion and undefined nature of love. Imagine , you feel something ,but you don’t know why is this happening. This person can make you upset easily, you may feel excited like a lil brat, your intellectual abilities disappear around them. Whenever you talk , in every sentence, you feel like that you told something stupid because you can’t control yourself. You are the puppet that they can easily smash in every way. They can fuck or make you cry. Like a virus. Taking over your whole body without you realizing it. Horrific, undefined ,sickening ,but passionate, sexy, mysterious and exciting.

I guess this one’s was the my definition for love ,even I didn’t want to define. Even me as the writer, told common stuffs that everyone felt and relate. Exactly that’s the real point that I wanna talk about. Is love really could be personal or are we just live our relationships and love, as what society expected?

As I observed, relationships are deals not personal and private situations that between two person. The perception of loyalty and love still based on proving to society.

ROMEO+JULIET LEGACY

After the emergence of Christianity, can we ask that “Is the feel of pain perception , may had created a competitive environment for humanity?

Monotheistic Religions’s pain based confess rituals, including self physical and mental harm. As you can noticed, as the level of begging and self pain increases, it means that you are the most religious person around. You can still see the effects and dominations of rise of Christianity in every content so strong ,even in sex too. The missionary position based on religious infrastructures. Christian people thought that any kind of pleasure and passionate love is a sin. Sex had seen as a vital need for continuation of the generation. The cult of purity perspective ,represented and made people believe that true love is related to untouchability and passionless.

Over the centuries Religious perceptions prepared more pessimistic, painful, inertial and begging perspective. As you can examine the romance novels , poetries , any kind of content about love ,includes lots of drama and pain. People always wants to prove that how amazing , holly, angelic , epic and bigger their love than the others . Like reaching the Nirvana, heaven or hell on earth. So religious. Shakespeare’s works may be the perfect example for this. One of his most popular works Romeo and Juliet, focuses pain even more than beautiful, passionate and pure side of love. Suicidal Romeo just dies quickly. I mean ,just calm the fuck down you don’t even know each other.

For more clarification , in 1878 right after Goethe released The Sorrows of Young Weather, the suicide raising in Germany may be an amazing example for it or whenever we watch Before Sunrise, we want to fall in love.

CHAPTER 2: GIRLS ALWAYS WANTS TO BE LOVED

The habitual society roles in family, represents people a deal more than a partnership. As you may observed, in classical families mother and father’s roles so opposite from each other. This based perspective still protects itself even in modern relationships.

Whenever I said that I am sad, everybody thought that one mother fucker broke my little cute, girl hearth. They blamed him even if I say don’t. No one thought the case that I was the villain . Don’t get offended, the point is even in a two sided relationship, being heartbreaker and the one who be broken roles are also so sexist. Society still objectifies women as the objects that should have protected. Patriarchy still sees women as passive objects that waits for their Prince Charming. Always ready for a relationship. Mechanism of felling in love also seems by society so basic for women. Society still thinks that every woman fells in love quickly to everyone that gives them any attention. Unlike men, patriarchy examines women unreasonable, self uncontrolled subjects.

FINAL CHAPTER: BOYS DON’T CRY UNTIL WHEN THEY DID

Love is seen for women over the centuries. Especially in 21 th century because of the postmodernist approach. However, the most interesting part is even if love seen for women by society, most of the books, movies and content about love, created by man. We are still experiencing love that patriarchy expected. Even woman sexuality explaining by patriarchy not by women. Society still thinks that love and sex related to each other for women unlike men. Categorization of logic and emotion between two gender is so subjective. This is so passive aggressive I guess , forcing a gender for a thought without asking them.

The perception of boys don’t cry and women always cry are so superficial and unhealthy for each sex. This perspective provides tiring and mutualist , toxic bound. Putting both sides in a box that expects active and passive roles. Moreover, men are more related to logic by patriarchy. Another case that they cannot think I guess , this one is also harmful. You could see that many men suffers from depression and self hate nowadays.

The Iron Claw

2023’s The Iron Claw touches a perfect point of the same patriarchal system also harms men. The movie tells the real life story of the Von Erich brothers unusual wrestling career . At the beginning ,movie represents to audience, 5 muscular, emotionless, perfect , masculine strong wrestler men ,which are mentored by their retired wrestler father. Every character suffers from to win the world championship, which was their father’s dream. At first, every character achieves success, respect, money and power. However ,the authority of father and lack of expression of emotions ,destroying every character after one breakdown moment . The audience begins to watch psychological downfall of each character. The Iron Claw represents perfectly ,how the same patriarchy which is built by men also harms men too.

The point is , can we talk about love ,while we live in a patriarchal system even we don’t know how to express our feelings yet? Can hedonistic pleasures or toxic masculinity and femininity solve this problem? They are only creates superficial and boundless short term pleasures, but after that, one day you gave up at one breakdown point. Even if you are Kendrick Lamar, suddenly you make DAMN because if even you are the one of the most successful and famous rappers alive , you also feel Israelite.

We Are Not On Different Sides My Love, We Are Together

On the Ancient Greek Mythology , you my heard a story about love. As the story said, humans were originally created sticky and hermaphrodite. They were sharing two connected souls in a body. None of them weren’t superior from another. But then Zeus split them into two parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.

To Conclude ,every part of life is complicated and undefined. Its in between confusion and uncertainty of life. I hope that you find your balance and other half. More than that ,I hope you don’t lose it.

Blond

ENTRY

In 2016 of August , Frank Ocean released his second debute album Blond. We follow entire teenhood of Frank’s relationships, sexuality, drug use and loses. More than that they are all past memories that Frank lived actually. The closest and most personal past thoughts and reflections that Frank navigating audience as an adult now, but the most special part of Blond ,it hasn’t a classical storytelling, it isn’t about one concept or person. The actual hitting point is it’s all about multiple people, thoughts and memories that audience listens by Frank, just like from an old friend on a car ride while chilling.

In every song or interlude transition , you cannot relate any kind of chronological sequence. They are just randomly placed. As I observed ,it was done consciously .You may see that a song about ,harm of drug addiction, but after one from another Frank gets high again. Unstable , complicated and relatable situations. Exactly what makes this album so special and unique ,beyond its quality of good music.

NIKES/IVY/PINK+WHITE

The first song of the album , begins with an angelic ,higher noted , childish voice of Frank. Throughout the album, this voice change expresses and symbolizes young Frank’s thoughts with flashbacks . In the song , young Frank talks about materialism and chilling at the party while gets high. Then ,Frank starts a conversation with a random girl. The girl ,tells him that she’s in platonic with Frank’s drug dealer young cousin. Frank keeps talking to her because he can sympathize the situation. Then suddenly he changes his voice from past to the future. The audience leaves flashback suddenly. And Frank prophesies us now. we listen that ,two teenagers hooking up and chilling .But after all, he wants to mean something to her even she doesn’t into him. Exactly whole Blond about sympathizing and relating situations of love and teenhood because they are not only Frank’s memories, they also relateable situations that audience also lived.

The Second song Ivy, about Frank’s First Love .Also it’s about a person who actually Frank relationship with in. In the song, this relationship is not kinda perfect, it may be include love ,but also toxic. It looks like Ivy. Beautiful, charming on the outside, but also poisonous from the inside.

Pink +white touches many subjects that Frank effected. One of them was the girl in previous song Nikes and their complicated situationship and lose of a friend, who died at Hurricane Katrina . Therefore ,in the entire song and the rest of the album ,he obsessed with the idea of immortality because of the trauma of death. If you look closely for entire album , he is trying to reach immortality at somehow. He uses drugs, fucks bitches, falls in love ,etc. Every action related to the idea of immortality, reaching heaven and hell on earth.

GET HIGHER

The first interlude of the album is Be Yourself. A woman talks and giving edvices to her son about harm of drug addiction . However, Frank and entire album is so real because after the end of the interlude Frank gets high again. He Solo’s his own and thinks about hell and heaven on earth. As I realized, Solo hasn’t lots of melodic sounds. The audience listen only Frank and his thoughts about his life and the girl on Nikes and Pink +White. He is stayed up her so long til his phone died. After the end of the night, he stays on his own, lonely, high and Solo.

Skyline to is an another interlude that between Be Yourself and Solo. This interlude explains the situationship between Nikes girl and him. Their lack of communication and mutualist relationship disturbs Frank because their relationships so superficial. She gives sex and Frank provides drugs for return, but at the same time he feels happy because even they are not more than drugs and sex, Frank still wants to mean something to her. However, when it’s morning she has to leave again. The saddest part is Frank knows, audience knows, but everyone keeps silence.

Self Control absolutely about the person who mentioned in Ivy because there is no way to Nikes girl cry over for Frank. After we figure it out we can keep going clearly. A sentence in the song effected me deeply as personal.

Cuz you see me like a UFO. To be seen by someone as stranger, urban, unidentified and always high ,just like an UFO. As I listened to Frank , at the beginning ,I could never understand that “why these people sees Frank so useless and superficial ? He is so deep,etc.” But then at that point ,I understood that exactly we are the people that everyone knows us as they want to see.

Good Guy another interlude that tells a story about Frank’s one of the hook ups with a guy on LA. As you can realize ,the title of the cover and mainstream name of the album unmatched with each other like Blonde and Blond because Frank is bisexual. However, after hooking, Frank likes this guy , but he knows that it’s not going to be a relationship or something emotional.

The other half of the interlude , two unknown random guy have a conversation . One of them talks about a girl who named Jasmine that wrecks his heart. Frank added this interlude I guess on purpose because love is common for everyone and Frank could relate random guy for his own relationship with Nikes , exactly just like Jasmine did to the random guy.

Blond has no chronology ,so it makes it so complicated and hard to write about it. It is just like a conversation with a friend you haven’t seen for a long time . You confuse because you had lived lots of thing with multiple person and you switch one event from another while tellin to your friends.

CHAPTER 2 : SWITCH NIGTS

Nights about Nikes girl again. As I realized, nearly whole album somehow related to this girl that effected Frank deeply. The song has two parts , at the first part he says negative nothing about this girl and he pretends like he doesn’t give a fuck.

But at one point ,when Frank feels so low, heartbreak hits and we see the bottom just like the second part of this song. At that point , the second parts of Nights , the whole album switches night mode and more darker.

Solo Reprise is the only song that Frank isn’t singing. I believed that this one is also done on purpose too because after previous feeling of bottom, it symbolizes that Frank couldn’t able to sing or he too tired and upset for talking. He doesn’t even get high no more because he is feels on bottom.

After this interlude we come across the anger and sufferness part that Pretty Sweet represents. Frank doesn’t give a fuck about which side on he is, he is on this side. He is at night side and we don’t even know what the fuck happened. We only hear Frank is so upset and begging for God to die. But, in Close to You after all suffering phases , we may still feel close to someone who tore us apart because somehow we may able to delete our fucked up memories with this people. Even if they drag us on the ground. They look us and think that you are a two faced bitch who can’t create boundaries.

However, the real case ,somehow you realize that you just gave up after feel of Pretty Sweet ,you can’t feel nothing now. Even anger too. You just hold on the habits. Whatever that person things can’t effect you anymore because they always gonna see you like a UFO.

Facebook Story is my favorite interlude on this album. A random French guy talks about someone that his past relationship. In my personal past experiences , I could really relate this guy. You don’t even give a fuck about something, but that thing may really important for someone you relationship with.

WHITE FERRARI

White Ferrari is not only on this album, this song is my one of the favorite songs of all time and deserves a chapter only it’s own. The song has two parts just like Nights. At the first part , Frank can’t accept that girl on Nikes is gone. He still hopes that , she will come back , pretend like nothing bad happened , deletes bad memories in his mind and just imagining to chill at White Ferrari until he realizes that there is no hope lasts again. Just imagining that could be different in an another dimension.

And there is only left depression , there is only lefts Siegfried . There is only lefts, probablities he sure that never gonna happen. Without hope and expectations. He can’t even dream being together again. Crying over and over because of the realization of , past times were the happiest times that he missed now. “I wish I’d go back times that we were together because I didn’t know that you are gone”. Loop

FINAL

To be honest ,I can’t write an essay about them from third person look right now because of the alcohol that I used and also I am in Godspeed phase now . Therefore, I am gonna edit grammar stuffs later . Blonde is one of the closest albums to my personal experiences. Maybe the most close one. The truth is I lived them all. Sometimes I am still thinking about each of them. I experienced Nikes, Ivy, Good Guy… But the most heartbreaking part is none realized that , but I am just pretending. Not because pleasing someone, I just gave up. I can’t change a person that who sees me like a UFO or Shakespeare.

I will never be that kid again

The problem of being Cassie Howard

“Sex is the easiest way to get attention that you desired.” This patriarchal thought reflected to audience directly by using “Cassie” . All the actions she did, the way she dress and talk etc. Today we’re going to talk about Cassie Howard and being oversexualized by patriarchy.

Family ties between Howard’s are more complex for every each member, but especially for Cassie and her sister Lexi. Even they are both grew in the same atmosphere ,their actions and personality are totally different from each other. This is one of the best complex trauma examples from the show which is shown. The lack of family ties and first relationship experience which is observed from parents since they were kid, effected their youth process.

However, if we examine hyper sexualization of Cassie only Freudian ,it would be extremely superficial. First of all ,from flashback scenes , when the Cassie became a teenager ,the rest of the world started to see her differently, even their family and sister too. Hyper feminine body lines, really big breasts than usual ,gives her childish, innocent and also sexy appereance. Even in the show , Cassie never wears for herself. She always looks so innocent and especially hyper feminine. From different than other characters , Cassie never wears dark, masculine or messy make ups or clothes. She only wearing exactly what society expected from her. Always feminine and innocent. That’s exactly what makes Cassie really attractive. Childishly innocent and sexy in a fuckable way. It’s sounds so disturbing ,but this fact exactly what makes desirable a hyper sexualized woman by patriarchy. In general it is called male gaze. In the show ,male characters thinks that they could talk about Cassie so cruel and a heartbreaking way. They don’t even care abut her feelings. Even when Cassie screams and shows her rage on the theater to the audience, one guy screams her back and says that she should show her boobs. Everybody sees her as an object unlike a person.

However, Cassie also objectifies herself too. Because only thing that she heard from the entire her life ,how pretty she is. When McCay talks Cassie about his mental breakdown and career , Cassie starts to kiss him because only thing she can know sex is the best way give someone happiness. When she got pregnant, only thing she thought ,her stomach will looked ugly. She didn’t even think that teenage pregnancy’s damages and mental breakdowns. Because society had teach her that only thing she have ,her beauty. If she lose it she is gonna lose everything that she own and her value. But the reality that everyone missed ,Cassie is an artistic ice skater. Even in the show this scene shown only 20 seconds.

LOLITA: SEXY BABY

Firstly, in the show , Cassie is still an underage teenager. This fact makes her a Lolita . The young ,innocent, untouchable, virgin, childish, open to manipulation and defenceless . “The sexy baby “ and fetishizing underage girl cult still dominating the society especially the Hollywood and media. Lolita perspective represents a relation between age and worth for woman.

Secondly, Cassie has a sister unlike her. That’s exactly why we can’t examine her only Freudian and daddy issued. They grew up in the same atmosphere, but they’re totally different from each other. At the season finale , we saw that in Lexy’s Play , Lexy always wanted to look like Cassie , but she never reached. We have to ask that “What if she could? Could be the same just like her?” .

The case that I am asking isn’t about relation between being pretty and stupid. That is exactly what society makes woman because patriarchy still thinks beauty is the only value for woman, if they are improve themselves in other subjects , this is because they are not pretty enough and trying to catch and fill the voids the other prettier competitors. That is why ,patriarchy always compare women and trying to create a competitive environment. Especially in media and society. You must have hear “girls are get jealous each other, they are always competitive ,etc. “ at least once. Or you may have watched “cat fight” and black swan type movies that represents movies between two women who steal her man from another.

Even in the same movie triangles , whenever we watch a love triangle between two men and a woman , media represents that two brave, pure, epic men fight over their love. However women steal one from another.

However, Euphoria represents that love triangle perfectly. We are watching an emotional, carrying friendship that ends sadly, instead competition. Also the most interesting part is we can also make empathy with Cassie because we don’t see that a pure villain character that destroys an angelic relationship. Cassie is a teenage person who with traumas and she is still 17. The pure villain is Nate audience knows that, we watch victimized and manipulated two young teenage girl. That’s why Love dynamics between Cassie and Maddy broke audiences heart. That is why examining Cassie only Freudian may be so superficial. We have to dive into society and patriarchy also as we did.

To Conclude , I wanted to examine Cassie more complex because she is the one of the most ambivalence characters in show. Superficial but not.
