There is something truly special about fandoms that came of age in the early 2000s. you'll pull up a fic and the Author's Note is like "Janine, you are such a light to this community. You held me up through my divorce and my mother's death and have been an unfaltering friend for over 15 years. I don't know where we'd be without you. Anyway here's 50k words of ass eating, your favorite! Happy birthday!"

look i know hannibal’s outfits in the pilot only look terrible because they didn’t have a full budget yet and were still working out the kinks of the lighting and costuming but it’s so much funnier to imagine that the day after hannibal met will he dropped $20,000 on eight new bespoke tailored suits and silk paisley ties simply to impress some random guy he just met

“I used to think it was silly that Haynes, in the 1984 scenes, outlined a vague conspiracy about bland corporate rock and its complicity with the security state. Now I’m not so sure—not when the much-heralded future of the entertainment industry is algorithmically generated home broadband sweeteners masquerading as art, and the act of consumption is beginning to resemble another British dystopia about aesthetic conformity, the one about being immobilized in a chair and subjected to an unrelenting torrent of brain-bleaching Content. Seen from the vantage of the endless 2020, Velvet Goldmine comes back around to universality. It inspires you to be not just a consumer, but an aesthete, curator, explorer, and invests those identities with life-or-death urgency.”

it’s easy to see why the chicken crossing the road joke is such a classic. it subverts our expectations (chickens can’t cross roads) while punching up (roads are our masters), with an absurdist twist (there is no other side). perfection

I know next to nothing about the Addam’s Family’s greater canon, but the fact that Lurch is visually so strongly based on Frankenstein’s Creature makes me so happy, because it’s the happy ending the Creature deserves and I can so imagine it? You have the Creature at the end of the novel who is lonely and who has resigned himself that he will never be loved and that all humans will reject him on sight and then he meets the Addam’s Family and they are the first ones who don’t attack him or run away screaming - they either don’t say anything or even more likely, they are high-key excited about a Creature put together from corpses. That’s probably the highest Addam’s aspiration, to be more than 1 corpse. So they take him in and he has a family for the first time. What a crossover. What over-thinking on my part. I love it.

as a gender nonconforming youth, some well meaning ppl would tell me i was “brave” or that they admired how i “didn’t care what people thought” without realizing that I was deeply afraid and I did care, deeply, but i had no choice but to endure the stigma bc i couldnt change the world or my reality

absolutely obsessed with the way Fahrenheit is legitimately a superior temperature measurements for day to day life than celsius (more precise, accessible, and understandable) but ppl refuse to admit to it bc they’re so caught up with the “silly americans refuse to convert to metric” gag
