OCD Representation in Fargo: Odis

November 25, 2020 ~ endingmagicalthinking ~ 2 Comments

I’ve been watching and enjoying Fargo Season 4 (even if arguably it’s not the best season) and after a few episodes I realized that one of the main characters had OCD. I wasn’t sure what to think of it at first. Was Odis going to be a figure of fun and mockery? Were they going … Continue reading OCD Representation in Fargo: Odis

I read The Lost Apothecary in one day because I was pulled into both of the novel’s narratives, and I never stopped wanting to know how the stories would end.

I read these books a month ago when I got to go south to socially-distance visit family and rest a bit. And read on the beach 🏖 📚I only read Disappearing Earth for the first time. To Say Nothing of the Dog was a reread as an adult. Do you ever read a book that you read as a child or teen and it feels like you’re reading it for the first time (because memory)? And Agatha Christie just soothes my soul when I’m tired and anxious. Even if it’s not my favorite—it’s a Christie. In between the migraines, anxiety, therapy, etc. I come back to reading. 📚Every damn time. What else can you do when you can’t get out of bed? 🛏🥱

I’ve been watching and enjoying Fargo Season 4 (even if arguably it’s not the best season) and after a few episodes I realized that one of the main characters had OCD. Odis is a cop who clearly needs to perform repeated compulsions like shutting a door and clicking a car door lock multiple times. He also has “just right” compulsions and needs to order things in rows and make sure they are aligned just so.

The election did a number on my mental and physical health. I know I’m not the only one.
