you would be my heroine

when you’re old enough  to fix your own mistakes but young enough to make them, sensationally dull dimwitted and sinister, time swims by on a steady rate

when you’re old enough to fix other people’s mistakes but young enough to make more of them, risk-averse but still questionable curiously unsurprising, time marches on like an Olympian

when you’re old enough to deflect your own mistakes but young enough to be blamed for some of them, imminently avoidable consequential and commonplace, time accelerates like a rocket

and then you wake up some day and all you’ve achieved amounts to nil and all you’ve delayed makes no difference anyway, do you go back to sleep or perhaps eat a slice of cake

with all the fixings on it.

This poem came to me while watching  A Room With a View (James Ivory, 1985) and thinking about Julian Sands.  RIP, the second actor who entranced my younger self.

My piece for @opchopperzine !! Had a lot of fun working on it, leftovers are currently open!!

i think one of the reasons glass onion is so fun is that it just... loves the audience back.

so many popular movies and shows these days thrive on a sort of bitter engagement with their fans - where the fans are dismissed as being stupid, annoying, and needlessly angry. we are constantly positioned as being less intelligent as the writers.

so much of "spoiler-free" movie-making relies on writers getting away with one twist in their work, regardless of if that twist was earned. the work doesn't actually have any rewatch value or interesting writing - because they think "good writing" is about "pulling one over" on the audience. they don't focus on making interesting characters or storylines or good endings - they focus on fooling you. glass onion, meanwhile, has faith that the audience has figured the ending out, and that we'll watch anyway, because we love the characters.

so many adaptions of older works... kind of seem to hate the original work. they're done without passion. they're done almost as if checking off a box. so many of them openly mock the audience for enjoying the original, almost directly telling us that we are fools for ever having loved something.

but glass onion. loves the audience. it knows that many of the people watching are mystery-lovers. it is an homage that feels love towards the original works it references. it knows we also love those works; and instead of trying to disparage those works, it allows us to celebrate them.

one of my favorite things about it - and maybe why i found it so satisfying - is that this movie isn't trying to tell you it's the smartest, bestest, most-clever detective story. instead, it asks itself what is satisfying and exciting for the audience? and actually gives us that payoff. it's bright, colorful, and fucking fun.

just... more of this please. i'm very bored of nihilism and grittiness and "shock value" writing. put the love back in. let us love unironically. have your work say i love you too. thank you for sharing this story.

Horror movie/game sequels that use the same character are so funny to me because it's like, I went through the horrors, it'll probably haunt me forever, but I survived...I survived. And then a couple years later: fuck, shit, the horrors again?! Are you kidding me?! Alright, I guess we're doing this

[catmask]

for me at least, theres always been a really stark divide in the 'child character is the main antagonist' sort of stories.

on one hand. theres stories that rely on the shock factor of a child being evil, because we're supposed to believe that kids arent capable of that sort of thing. i guess its supposed to be frightening but the novelty always wears off really quickly for me.

i think 'a child is the villain' always lands most successfully for me when a kid is given power beyond their years (either by adults around them or otherwise supernatural/societal forces) and then everyone is floored when they arent exactly responsible with that power. and sometimes theyre even selfish! not because that kid is evil, but because theyre a kid.. acting like a kid would in their situation.

it means that any sort of story that follows requires a protagonist to reason with someone who may not even understand the harm theyre doing, or worse - not have the life lived to understand why they should care in the first place. and also, i think watching what happens when u have an destructive force seeking comforts that any child deserves doing whatever they can to have those things is (to me) much more interesting than 'child who is fucked up and evil for no reason but being born that way actually'

tried your best

noble truths can go hang their silken handkerchiefs and leap over  the penthouse railing until they crack into shards of all the intentions and well-wishes sewn together by a chorus of studious, pious hands smooth like marble and cold as yesterday’s trash can left out in the rain with discarded avocado toast drenched in durian syrup roasted over a comedian’s old material shuffled and crumpled and wadded into hollowed fruit that you’d still bury and water believing it might one day bloom into a menagerie of sweetness and danger but not the type to cause an infection or bleed or heart beat dry.

This poem came to me while doing some late-night work consisting of watching a French film where the male protagonist... il est un tel connard.

mike who goes cross eyed when hes in you and he's about to bust. he's fucking you so good and you're so tight and so wet and so warm and you're raking your hands through his hair and scratching at his back and encouraging him, words soft and gentle yet demanding, your ankles hooked behind his back, and you’re practically begging for him to cum in you. to fill you up, to breed you. he can’t help but start to picture it, you completely swollen just a few months down the line from this night, carrying his child from his doing. so when you tell him that you “need it”, his hips stutter and his eyebrows push together and he gets that faraway look in his eyes and they turn towards each other just a little bit.
