Irreversible - Comments

  • I've lost this comment two times now so this time I'm writing it in word. :file:
    Take that faulty internet. :con:

    I’m going to be frank in saying that I’ve never wanted to read stories about mental illnesses or disabilities. Though, it’s not because I don’t find them interesting, I do, I’ve just never found them to be truly believable, therefore not enjoyable. Now, I feel I must alter my opinion a little, because I really loved this.

    I can’t go all technical on you and say that you hit some perfect disease head on and ramble about the symptoms or something, but I car say that you made this believable. I think that sometimes when we are writing Frerard we sort of lose our initial goal and get so wrapped up in the love, if that makes sense. I guess what I’m trying to say is that you made Gerard’s words come to life by making them sort, by making them confused. I don’t know if I’m making any sense. All in all I think the dialogue is perfect.

    When you begin to talk about the wedding, its at total tear jerker for me because I am conflicted between my love of Frerard and my love of Jamia, but I suppose it’s a great thing you made me feel this way. I think my favorite part was when you talked about Gerard’s heart, and how it would break if her went to the wedding. I think that sometimes we…Or at least I know that I so sometimes forget that just because a person isn’t “all there,” doesn’t mean that they don’t have a heart and that I thought that was a good thing to touch on.

    The last line really grabbed me and I think that it was a perfect way to end the piece, with ties to the title and the prompt. You really did an excellent job, congratulations. :arms:

  • Wow. That was really.
    Beautiful. Epic.

    I loved how it was expressed.

    I love how Gerard KNOWS what he's saying, but he doesn't really KNOW. It's like he thinks he understands, and that he can say what's on his mind, but he really can't.

    To me, it felt like everything he tried to say, something else came out. Like instead of saying 'Hello Frank' it was 'I love you Frank'. But I'm not sure, that was just the way I saw it.

    Anyway, this was really good, good luck in the contest :]

  • I think it was quite poetic in a sense.
    And you made it quite sad, but pretty at the same time, with Gerard insane and loving Frank. Frank getting married, and wanting Gerard to come to his wedding.
    So in conclusion it was beautiful in its misery.

    Loved it, good luck in the contest. ;]

    <3 (hope I don't suck on my entry...this makes me nervous now. xD)

  • Wow.
    That was so powerful, and a great way of showing that short pieces sure can make a great impact as well.
    I am really curious about what made Gerard lose his mind, whether it was his love for Frank or something completely unrelated.
    It's so horrible that he really was completely out of it, not registering anything around him, not really existing in his mind and not knowing what existed around him.
    Did they all just stop caring about him? Of course it's probably to do with Gerard's state that no one can really bare to see him, but still, it's hardly helping him to not have any support from the people he once knew and loved.
    And then the "I love you, Frank." -s... Wow. That's just heartbreaking. Did he even know what he was saying? He was just so out of it. He knew Frank was there and all, right? But he couldn't express anything...

    And Frank was just 'I'm getting married and I want you to come.' It didn't really phaze me when I read it, but now that I think about it I just want to cry. It shows that he really just wants his friend back and that he wishes he would get better. It's so sad because when Gerard wishes Frank to be happy I think it kinda gives Frank some hope that Gerard might still be in there, but then Gerard asks Frank to marry him and it's once again evident that Gerard doesn't know what he's saying. Because, I think when Gerard says 'I love you' it's mostly just seen as in a friendly way. Gerard might not even know what it means, he could have just heard it and thought it sounded nice and kept saying it to people. That's why mental illnesses are so interesting as there is no way to fully understand them.

    Amazing job, Bonnie. Good luck in the contest :arms:

  • lol...
    OMG hun...
    that was the first reaction i had when i read this...
    OMG...
    >.<

    i guess this really shocked me, i've never read anything like this, honestly.
    it's kinda sad at the same time, that he loved frank so much, that he went crazy because frank didn't love him back that much, and got married instead...
    and that, he could only do what he wanted to do back then in his moment of insanity...
    asking frank to marry him.
    that was sad.

    gd job, hun. <3
