for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

i’m a the worst person you will ever meet. want proof?

i make birthday cakes for everyone at work. call it trauma from my birthdays being shitshows, but i like people to be appreciated. i only make them after OKing it with said person. i am very careful to ask what allergies and specifications they might have, then i make them and bring them in.

i’ve done black forest, reese’s cup, pound cake with fruit and cream on the side…. you name it i’ve done it. now it’s my manager/HR ladies birthday. and i lowkey hate her after how she treated an old coworker of mine (short version is iced her out to make her quit, denied her accessibility for her disablility, ect) and she was very non-committal when i offered to make a cake for her birthday. said i could do whatever, and that she was fine with anything. that was her biggest mistake.

you see, everyone where i work fucking hates cranberries. i’ve asked, no one likes them. including her. i know because the last time we all talked about hating it was a year ago at a christmas party, when nigh everyone was inebriated. i am going to fake not-knowing this very specific information about everyone’s dislike of cranberries. and i will be bringing in a lovely cranberry-orange pound cake into work tomorrow. for her birthday. because i fucking hate her.

(Minus Sandstrom by Darude from the reel I posted on Instagram, which I think really brings the whole thing together, but that's FINE.)

do you guys think that anders who is also known for his eagerness to drown kirkwall in blood to keep hawke safe among other things has ever half-jokingly told karl that he would burn the circle down for his sake just to become a sparkle that finally set the circle that killed him on fire

y'all i cannot believe wwdits is a real show. SPECIFICALLY season 4. it is a gay sitcom (i use the term sitcom loosely) that is not explicitly about being gay, but queerness is woven into every piece of it. it's not just "oh this show is about queer people being queer" but it's "it's about vampires and the supernatural, but their queerness is also important to the narrative." it makes jokes about being gay, but being gay is never the butt of the joke. we get symbolism and metaphors AND we get characters explicitly saying they're gay. it's natural. it's actually funny and not just trying to make gay jokes or characters just to tick a diversity box. there is no character that only exists as "the gay character."

i am just so thankful to be living in a time where we have shows like this coming out. even ten, twenty years ago we would be hard pressed to find shows with such diverse and vibrant queer representation and narratives. and as a queer writer/creative i am so so grateful that this is the direction we're headed in.
