Actors that I admire and the roles they have played. Matthew Daddario

 Matthew Daddario - he is not everyone's taste but he has kept what can only be described as class and respect in a difficult time being around COVID and the cancellation of a show that meant so much to so many people. 

It shows that people don't need to go to fancy acting colleges to be good at what they do, they do need an understanding of the industry and respect for that industry and I see that he has done this, well. Even his colleagues seem to have a lot of respect for him and keep in touch with him and will do the comic con circuit. However he is happily married and this seems to be rare in the TV industry I give credit to his wife and his family, to be able to keep them out of the Media and protect them. 

Matthew Daddario Live on Instagram 25.07.2017 | HD - YouTube  - He is also incredibly smart and will use this to his advantage, as seen in this clip from when he was filming Shadowhunters. 

 His cast members seem to respect him and he respects his boundaries' and understands giving the fans what they want and being able to encourage it. Shadowhunters Cast: Build Series Interview | February 25th, 2019 - YouTube

He comes from a great background and seems to understand that without being big or unrelatable to others around being a big name and not having money worries, he also seems to really respect the characters he plays and plays and markets them with dignity and respect.  He does seem to  have a bit of a dirty mind around one particular colleague ( and I am not going to encourage shipping videos given Matthews comments on fan gifts that make him uncomfortable, at times.) This seems to be the case with both of them when they played Malec, the couple on Shadowhunter's, and this TV show was challenging as the books also had a great following so it seems that they had a lot to live up to.

( Malec was the name that people gave to the relationship between Alec, played by Matthew Daddario, and Alec played by Harry Shum Jr) This is a really interesting episode that seems to show Matthew's understanding of Alec and the understanding of trauma in both Alec's and Magus's life.

He seems to respond to the roles he is playing and Alec is the best one he is known for and has questioned when doing media promotions about how in the show no one has questioned Alec making decisions for Magnus, and this seems to be so true about people with disabilities wanting to make decisions around there own life, and seek to have some direction and control in there lives.

Isabelle Lightwood and Trauma part three - Shadowhunter's

Image
(Please be aware that this post contains sensitive content around addiction and mental health issues)   So this is a continuation of the series on Izzy lightwood and trauma caused by the shadow world.  She is the Sister of Alec lightwood and Jace (who is adopted) I have talked briefly about their relationships and how this plays out, in the shadow world.   As this world is a perfect storm for creating trauma. Due to its nature and it is a great portrayal of trauma in some ways.    this sees her seeking the next fix without concern for her safety and the safety of those around her. Hitting rock bottom is a myth often it is the people you are around that force you to get help and this is why Raphael encourages her to sweat it out.  Rock bottom for Izzy is her going to the hotel de mort and threatening Raphael so the justifications, excuses the lies about where you are all symptoms of addiction.  The reality is that addiction is a disease and diseases have treatments. The treatment for Iz

Why I can't learn to love my disablity

  Why I can’t learn to love my disability My Disability is a part of me yet I can’t learn to love it, but I can learn to accept it. To accept that I will always be different. Be the person who will never have a normal life and whose family will get frustrated with me, because I used to be able to do so many things for myself, but now I can’t and will need support for the rest of my life. I can’t love it because of the way my life has played out, I can’t be an inspiration because it does hold me back in ways that frustrate me and my family as we always thought I could live a normal life, but I am coming to the realization I can’t and that this will impact me and everyone in my life. I never used to admit I have a disability and this in the long run hasn’t done me any favors.   I am what they call high functioning but high functioning doesn’t mean normal – it means that I appear to be able to do most thing’s for myself – but in reality, I can’t.

What a support worker can do for you and what the can't part one my story with support

Image
 I need people to be aware that this blog post is from my lived experience as a person with a disability.  It is something that we do need to talk about is that I have talked at length about it in other blog posts so it needs to be talked about this is what a support worker can and can’t do for someone and this is a difficult topic to be objective about for me because I have had very poor care and at the same time fantastic care.  I can’t seem to reconcile the two together as it has kept me off balance for a long time, but a support worker is there to help you to be more independent and not less independent and we see that this can be a massive issue if a person doesn’t know what good support work looks like.  Or is unable to define what their limits are for a support worker working with challenging clients.  This could potentially be quite dangerous due to a person not being able to speak up due to experiences with support workers in the past and this is where the support worker n
