i love how different percabeth is from different male lead narrated american middle school romances from the romantic point of view. usually, the male lead has a crush on the cold and kind of mean female protagonist cause she's pretty and not like the other girls.....she's pretty and not like the other girls....thats it oops. but annabeth and percy. annabeth fell first. even though she's cold and sassy too, she believed in percy. she saw the good in him and loved him for it. then percy fell. he didnt have to worry about whether annabeth would like a loser like him. yeah, he doubted why annabeth liked him once in a while, but it was a never a question of 'does she?' its healthy. and thats what makes rick riordan one of the best middle school authors ever thank you bye

I'm still thinking about how Jane Schoenbrun has said that a lot of people who read the I Saw The TV Glow script warned them that, with Owen as the main character, they would have to work against centuries of film history that's trained audiences to see a weird loner boy - especially in a psychological horror - as a serial killer, or someone with a creepy, killer-like secret. Like, ok...but also these same characteristics often apply to people who are queer, neurodivergent, or otherwise don't fit into a society that rejects them. How do you add more diverse, authentic representation of these groups in media when you actively discourage people from trying, because you think audiences are too used to reading those kinds of characters as having something deeply fucked up and wrong about them? I'm just wildly impressed and hopeful that they actually got this film made, with Owen's awkwardness in tact. His awkwardness in the trailer is the main reason I even decided to spend money to go see it in the first place. He was relatable as hell, in a way I've almost never seen on screen. (When Hannah Gadsby said, "Where do all the quiet gays go?" I felt that. And I think, among other things, they do stuff like go see this movie.) Makes me wonder how many legitimately good scripts get passed on by studios, out of fear of the weird characters being seen as too off-putting or creepy for an audience to connect to. And how likely it is that that might be changing a little bit.

Look, look, some of the deepest, most intricately detailed, real and profound media I’ve ever seen is also the stupidest, most ridiculous and strangest media I’ve ever seen, promise me you’ll get real weird with it

Political ads: My opponent has jacked up taxes every year since he was elected!

Me: Which taxes? Income? Sales? Property? Business?

Political ads: I promise to hold the line on taxes!

Me: Which taxes? What government programs do those taxes contribute to? What gets cut if the lack of taxation causes a deficit?

Political ads: Think about the taxes!

Me: WHICH TAXES. WHICH TAXES ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. TELL ME WHO'S ACTUALLY GETTING AFFECTED BY THESE TAXES YOU'RE SO CONCERNED WITH.

Reminder to always ask what it is that people aren't saying in these ads.

A lot of them want you to think that it is your personal taxes as a working-class person that they're talking about. But if it's taxes on the rich that they're "holding the line on," then they're using your desire to survive with a greater portion of your own income as fuel to keep the upper classes from paying their fair share.

I keep getting the same three or four political ads (half aren't even for the district I live in) and I'm frustrated that they use these transparent tactics and that there are probably people that don't have the time or background to take that moment to go 'what are they hoping I hear in this? What are they actually going to do?'

i know that disney is too big to boycott effectively but that shouldn't translate to "and so we should keep buying their products like normal" but rather "at the very least we should try"

I saw the TV glow and I don’t think I’ve ever had such a visceral movie experience. I want to choke on this move like Tara choked on the dirt. Take my egg tooth razor blade and split open this skin of mine. See the static beyond. Feel my heart beat, because it’s not too late, it’s not too late, it’s not too late.
