i LOVE john green. i loved him in his spree of straight romances starring manic pixie dream girls era and i love him still. i loved looking for alaska and i loved the anthropocene reviewed. he helped me realize i had ocd. he helped me realize trying to be someone else just for the sake of your high school boyfriend is a terrible task. and most of all he helped me with what he terms “the chronic condition called consciousness”. i will not be taking any further questions

The 5 things you gotta know before you let that cop into your house

THIS STUFF IS SOOO IMPORTANT TO KNOW.  Seriously.  It’s saved my ass before.

‘dont say gay if youre bi’ lmao lets all leave the house! lets all go outside and get a big gulp of fresh air is what im thinking

i thought nandor telling colin robinson he’d forget his name if he didn’t carry a piece of paper with it on it at all times was just an incredibly sick burn but it turns out all three vampires actually do just constantly carry around aging pieces of parchment to whip out when needed.

I love you pre-Autumn. I love you first chilly night after a hot day. I love you first crunchy leaves on the ground while the trees are still green. I love cicadas. I love you crickets. I love you dusk sneaking in earlier for the first time. I love you deep sigh of relief after summer.

SO tired of hearing about elon musk I literally can't escape him

I take it all back, the jersey devil was the end middle and beginning, he was the climax and he will live in my dreams forever

like any show that goes on for longer than two seasons, what we do in the shadows has certainly had it’s criticisms and believe me, i’ve been a face behind them. the gang being separated and nadja and guillermo being accidentally shipped off to london plot being thrown to the wayside genuinely bothered me. some of the humor in the early season 4 episodes felt flat and overplayed, too mainstream or too unoriginal to land right as a waititi continuation. but THIS. season 4 EPISODE 7 BABY. the comedic timing of all the interactions between guillermo and his family combined w guillermo’s obliviousness that najda is even still in the house. the unexpected yet funny mama mia appearance? nadia’s laszlo impression? of course nandor and laszlo’s cabin experience was top notch but the main emotional climax of the episode (YES, guillermo’s coming out) was so well structured and worked up to the entire episode it was truly a clap-your-hands-over-your-mouth moment. when your entire family is chasing down your fake vampire gf and u have to come out to them j to get them to stop ig. LIKE I I GUESS. LIKE AHSHSHDUDIXIDJDHHFHFHDJDJDN. so much of early wwdits felt like insinuation and context which, yes, that’s almost all homoerotic media ever, but it’s refreshing to have an actual heartfelt coming out scene, even if wwdits has already continually normalized queer relationships and casually represented them. i FELT the crack in guillermo’s voice and i know i can’t be the only one.

laszlo: “i’ll be brief: my feelings aren’t too dissimilar to your own”

nandor: “i’ve missed us”

Some "helpful" reviews, in case anyone is on the fence about watching The Sandman:

[boggyswamp]

enough feminist retellings where the princess saves herself from the dragon. we need more feminist retellings where the princess and the dragon are a con artist duo scamming the knights of the realm.

Sea Nymphs at a Grotto by Gaston Bussière (1924)

Just realized that the shows I recently watched, Fleabag, Killing Eve (Phoebe's cinematic universe), Midnight Mass, The haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor (Flanagan's cinematic universe) are all either about lesbians or hot priests 💀
