to the person who comes into the student center every fucking day & plays the most loud, obnoxious, chaotic classical pieces on the piano for two to three hours while I’m trying to read and understand Julia Kristeva: I hate you. Get a practice room

True Stories (David Byrne, 1986)

[jillianallen14]

thinking about how suspiria (2018) is one of the very few horror movies with an all female cast, how it's genuinely one of the best films i have ever seen and how you can discover something new every time you watch it since it is so thematically rich, how the performances are all incredible, the score is fantastic, the cinematography completely enthralling, and how, despite all of these things being true, it still wasn't received very well initally because for some reason people have convinced themselves that remake = bad. how some people disliked it because they wanted more of the original, neon colors, dreamlike sequences, which the remake purposefully strays away from because it's meant to be a completely different take on the same story. and how people then jumped to the conclusion that this must be a bad thing and they didn't even give it a chance.

this was pretty much the most perfectly handled and crafted remake ever, and yet. it's like no matter how you approach it, people are so close minded, blinded by nostalgia and unwilling to view retellings as a respectable genre, no matter what you do, it will never be good enough for that certain crowd. i just don't understand how you can outright reject the concept of different artists viewing the same story through a different lens and sharing their own takes on it with the rest of us. like, why do you see this as bothersome instead of beautiful? much to think about...

fun fact (not fun at all fact actually) :

aromanticism and asexuality are still treated as issues to be fixed in most therapy settings, at least in the western psychiatric institution. i cannot fucking mention my aromanticism or asexuality to a therapist or it’ll immediately become their primary concern and goal to fix. whether or not i have a partner/am trying to have a partner is actively being used as an indicator of my wellness, regardless of if i WANT one. i cannot have access to needed mental health ressources because of fear of conversion therapy. aro and/or ace conversion therapy is the norm in most psychiatric institutions and we are getting told by the rest of the queer community that our oppression isnt real and that there is no link between our struggles and theirs.
