      @@RobertMorgan “Call me by your name” is a bit more appropriate. In this sense, it is asking the person to become a part of you. When both parties agree, it can be a beautiful moment of togetherness. It’s different than “I want your world to begin and end with me.” That is possessive, holding yourself apart from a person while asking for their whole being (like a god to a worshipper). “Call me by your name” is more mutual. It means ‘give me all of yourself and I will do the same.’

      I think that there are more implications about it. He wasn't the first priority when he should've been, with his mom. Now that he's coming to terms with allowing himself to be (his version of) vulnerable, with the type of woman he used to apply the submission he needed to project onto someone who resembled his mother. More sooner than later Parenthood, a hugely delicate subject for his psyche, appeared as a nuclear bomb to tumble the delicate equilibrium he was working to achieve.
      He was a very disturbed person who actually got a little "together" by the boundaries of bdsm. So, on top of all his traumas and issues, he got a little together ¡¡¡by being abused!!! (!talk about bruised mind! )
      Is not like he came out of a cabbage being like that.
      BUT ultimately he was able to heal a little through his Parenthood, being - to his kids- the kind of parent he deserved as a child.. With all the kinks of the kind of sexual relationship he has with Ana.

      Will say, they're fun to watch and make fun of while drinking wine at girls night. But the author and movies portraying this relationship is toxic and doesn't properly show what a real Master/Slave BDSM couple is and the trust that goes into it. As someone in the BDSM community, I always tell people to look at this like any other film based on a culture or lifestyle: it's exaggerated and more than likely written by someone who's never been apart of the community. It still needs to be called out and critiqued, but I believe adults can have fun watching or reading these books and laughing at the ridiculous premise of it all, while understanding the toxic elements

It's an unresearched piece of fanfiction that's poorly written. No amount of billionaire money changes that. Grey is not a good Dom, a good boyfriend, and he is not going to be a good father. He needs an insane amount more therapy than he's getting, and regardless of her own tragic backstory, Mrs. Robinson needs to go to prison.

    In my ninth grade health class we were given a paper on the cycle of abuse and it basically went they hit you or some other form of violence, they buy you gifts to make up for hurting you, you forgive them and then the cycle starts over. So Christian is literally playing out the cycle of an abuser.

    • @KrazyKatLady
      @KrazyKatLady 2 роки тому +3

      Yeah, it actually does take place over a few months. How ELJ makes that clear is in the 3rd book speeds through time by talking about stuff they did in back and forth flirty emails. She even dates them so you can tell time has passed and they talk about spending time sailing the weekend before or whatever. I can't remember if they're interspersed within the chapters or back to back like what SM did with the months that Edward left.

    Funny thing; I watched an actual BDSM expert reacting the Fifty Shades of Grey, & she actually hypothesized that Christian might actually be looking for a "mommy dom." Of course, for that interpretation to fly, the author would've had to have any semblance of an idea about what actual BDSM is like. Personally, I do think it'd be far more likely for Christian to at least be a sub.

    Two things:
    1. I can't believe you didn't point out how friggin much Christian uses the term Yar in this book. Kindle search says 7.
    2. If you look at the timeline from when Ana got her shot to when she gets pregnant, her shot obviously failed. She gets her shot on June 12 and reveals her pregnancy to Christian Sept 13 (and I think the epilogue implies she got pregnant in August) Either way she should have been fine until Sept 4, and its highly unlikely for the shot to just wear off instantly.
    3. Ok 3 things. I noted that this book tries hard to redeem Christian after the pregnancy freak out. If you read Ana's side, she assumes Christian is avoiding her. In this book, Christian really is desperate to apologize but happens to really have back to back work meetings scheduled that particular night and next day and so doesn't get to apologize...before the kidnapping. I love fanfiction!

    22:03 I've always had a problem with this tbh. Like lack of consent is a major thing in this book, and this just shows that BOTH characters have issues with it. Christian didn't consent to unprotected sex, and never once did she mention that she wasn't getting her shots. With most of Christian's consent issues we see backlash, but it was really skimmed over when it was Ana tbh

It makes me wish writers like those got published works and movies, because that story is so goddamn thorough in the plot, the character development, and the relationship dynamic. I mean, it feels like 99% of the bases are covered, as well as having some very well-written intimate scenes. And that writer isn't the only one who has amazing skill and happens to write fanfiction.

    Okay so after I heard that Christian Grey in hungarian I had to check out the book. For one: Kristian is NOT a name you can give a kid in Hungary. It's Krisztián.
    Also his mother maiden name is... Életke? Which is a name I've NEVER heard even though I'm a hungarian living in hungary but..okay, rare name, whatever. But it's literally translates to "little life" or "small life".
    "Élet" is "life" and the -ke is used to make somthing small or cutesy, lot of names have that but...why that name, E.L.James? How did you even find it? Why would you call a character little life?
    And Christian in the book is like "Ella...Short for Életke" How? The two names have nothing in common, it's like saying "James...Short for Joseph"
    Also what's with E.L. James' fixation to eastern europe lately? Mister is obviously about an albanian girl and now this. And am I surprised that the "crack whore" with a pimp is eastern european? Noppe, not at all.
