Peak 2021/2022 discourse era was fucking wild bc you'll see someone say something objectively true (ex. c!crime was unhealthy) and there would be a full out brawl over whether you were a soldier of truth or a stupid lowlife w no media comprehension (agreed or disagreed w op) . Because no one is allowed to like anything that wouldn't be 100% morally sound irl and so ppl who thought c!crime was unhealthy Obviously hated the two of them and thought they should never interact ever again bc one half of the pair was an irredeemable monster (which guy? depends who you ask) and if you dared mention that unhealthy dynamics can still be compelling or tried to apply some nuance then you were glorifying toxic relationships and abuse and yada yada yada how the fuck did we live like this
Dude as someone who is a gossipy little freak I do enjoy discourse as a form of media analysis but holy SHIT peak 2020/2021 shit was unbearable at times, like shit bro it was fun sometimes but others it would just go so down hill

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.
And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

Ain't no way that one person from my Wesker vs. Vergil poll came back to start more stuff. It's been over TWO MONTHS since I made it. Why are you still pressed? 💀
And then I noticed them coming to my other posts and I'm like, "Okay, that's it. You're getting the block treatment."
And to think I was about to entertain their ass for shits and giggles, but I reminded myself to be the bigger person cause I don't have time for that.

broke: Boromir was corrupted by the ring because he was weak of heart
woke: Boromir was corrupted because his heart was full. full of love for his brother, for Gondor, for Minas Tirith. Does that make his heart weak? Does a heart motivated by passions and the desire to help others make it weak? Is it wrong and evil to be weak? friendly reminder, the way Sauron deceived Boromir was not by promising him wealth, nor power, nor his own safety- he thought he would be strong enough to defend a whole city and defeat Sauron. Boromir had a heart that was neither weak nor strong, but both at the same time- his heart was full.

i can view a relationship between two (or more) characters in many different ways at different times. i can hold more than one idea in my head simultaneously. i, and they, contain multitudes. take my hand.
