I’m re-reading all of the books as an adult (last read them around age 9-11) and wow these would be insane rewritten as horror books. Everything that happens in this world is so scary. It’s just full of magic and hope, but it could so easily be rewritten as horror with the exact same plot, line for line.

I guess I remember the later books getting scarier, but even book 1 is so scary if you strip away the whimsy.

I’ve also started reading The Shining for the first time, so that may be why I’m seeing Harry Potter so horror-coded. And I’m sorry if this isn’t an original thought lol

Ok so I’m now on season 5 in my rewatch, and I LOVE the bloopers at the end of S5 E1 Romeo and Juliet and Juliet. It’s so funny seeing them break character! So now I’m going to go watch blooper compilations and I wanted to remind everyone that they could watch them too! I never thought to look them up until now!

And it’s like more show you get to watch without actual new episodes lol.

Bonus: if anyone has a favorite blooper, outtake, breaking character on screen, etc, let us know so we can all check it out!!

I’m watching S4 E12 A Very Juliet Episode and I lost it when they visit Waring (a super dangerous criminal) in prison and Shawn introduces Gus by his full name with a tight pronunciation “Bur-ton Gus-ter” lmao

Share the funny things you’ve heard lately! This show cracks me up!!!

Long time watcher, but first time re-watching as an adult (25). I guess the last time I watched through was a while ago because I have such a different perspective of the show. The jokes hit so. Damn. Hard. Especially season 4!

The whole show has me laughing occasionally, but it all of the sudden got super funny. Like nonstop quips and funny background stuff. Shawn and Gus are always doing something funny in the background. I guess they really found their groove. I think I remember the show staying really f-ing good until the end? Please tell me that’s true!

I just love this show. Someone on here recently said it was the best show ever, and I’m starting to be inclined to agree. Lots of competition, but it’s definitely up there for me.

I feel like this has to be a very common experience, but I don’t hear it talked about a lot. I worked bedside as a new grad for just over a year before leaving for the OR. Edit to add: this was two years ago now. Just reflecting on how hard this profession is.

I feel like the hardest part about having too many patients was how often I would let my patients down over even the little stuff. And a couple times, unfortunately, on bigger stuff. Stretched so thin, I had to prioritize my ABCs, but my patients’ well-beings were left in the dust.

I would constantly give pain and nausea meds late (on an oncology unit with cancer and sickle cell patients); I missed a change in mental status; I couldnt provide basic care like a bath or even brushing teeth; I had a standby assist patient have to soil herself in bed bc we were all too busy to get to her; I never ever had enough time to be present with my patients, including comfort care patients and families, etc.

I feel like THIS is why even light understaffing is so awful. The patients suffer so bad and it’s traumatic for us to have to feel responsible. Like it was so hard to cause accidental harm to people who are already having probably the worst time of their life. I know I’m not responsible for the staffing, but that’s still my patient, you know?

For context, I had 4-5 patients every day. Rarely 3, because then they would just send a nurse home and divide up their patients. Oncology/hematology and med surg overflow. I know that’s not a crazy ratio, but even that was awful, especially for a slow, careful new grad.

And every single person hired within 2 years of me has since left as well. They know, and they don’t care. They crank out new grads, traumatize, rinse, and repeat.

And this has left me with a lingering trauma. I shadowed a similar unit in my job search and literally wanted to jump out of my skin when I got to the unit. And I get worked up when I talk about it. It’s an absolutely broken system that is happy to stay broken and it’s disgusting.
