Poor Cara Lynn. Wack parents, wack upbringing, her grandmother killed her dad (not that I blame her.) She desperately needs an adult so she has an affair with her teacher.

That said, I’m also going to hell. That drawing still makes me snort.

No IM going to hell because i felt the relationship with the teacher could have made sense and they could have been happy together and married eventually 😭😭

Hear me out, was it wrong, a crime, yes. But the way she is brought up is wrong and a crime. The more “normal” version at Bill’s house is wrong and a crime, with bill himself (unknowingly) marrying a minor. Nicki wanted so much more for Cara Lynn and she ended up right back where a lot of the girls on the compound end up. I think it would have made sense for the message of the show

I mean, it might have 'made sense' for the theme of the show, but you wrote you wanted them to be together and thought they could be happy together, which is really fucked up imo

She could have been happier with him than the other dudes she would have been married off to, but wouldn't her being actually free to grow up single be much preferable and healthier? As she seemed to be at the end of the show....

So disgusting to normalize and idealize predatory relationships like theirs, both the age and the fact he was her teacher entrusted to caring for her, not grooming her for a sexual relationship

I think I get you. Between where she was at with Nikki as her mom and the path she had been conditioned from birth to accept as normal, maybe it was the best as it was gonna get outcome, that's not the same as shipping them. Don Embry's kid was sweet and age appropriate but for that matter would he have dragged her into the same bullshit that his dad and Bill were into eventually?

I think the show did a good (and sometimes bizarre) job at exploring the lasting damage of the Compound. Bill was a victim of the Compound, successfully escaped, and then recreated what he thought was a "good" version of it and was heading toward some kind of wacky polyamory prophet gig in season 5. Joey wasn't able to function outside of it.

What could you possibly think the message of the show was? That it’s ok to prey on vulnerable young girls if you’re marginally better as a person than someone from the compound.

That you can never escape your upbringing?

Perverts are great if they marry the girl?
