do it!! I really wasn't feeling it at first, but very quickly got into it, and by the end I had lost count of the times I cried

ITS SO MUCH I started out so dubious but by the end I was weeping

thank you it's great to be home

went from being chronically offline for weeks to watching all of heated rivalry over the course of one evening

If you ever question if your fanfic is too self indulgent please remember that’s actually the point of fanfiction

watched hedda last night and it filled me with so much rage about how it entirely misunderstood the point of the play that I basically wrote an essay on letterboxd, maybe my longest review ever lmao. HATED IT SO MUCH

some days you think you're making loads of progress with your eating/body image issues, and some days someone makes a jokey and obviously not serious comment about size and you start crying 🙃

me: hehe ok I finally have a fun experimental idea for a fic and for once it's not gonna be about grief

the fic: is about grief

this is also what I mean by vacuous, self-congratulatory feminism, a veneer of "girl power" over a core of fundamentally conservative views - in this case, about gender roles. to be drawn to "man saves ophelia" over "ophelia saves herself" as the way to rewrite the tragedy is... very telling

the other thing that really annoys me about that song is that it actually sounds good but I can't enjoy it while I'm seething about how the lyrics romanticise the very oppression that ophelia's role in hamlet serves to criticise

the thing that really annoys me about the ophelia song is that the idea of a woman being "saved" by a man choosing to love her is a complete insult to the whole point of ophelia's tragedy, which is about the oppression women experience when their agency is taken away

oh how so!! and hehe I knew you'd seen degrassi cos you're the reason I know about it, for some reason degrassi totally passed me by or maybe it didn't make it all the way to asia

shoved up against a lady absolutely drenched in pdm delina while my delicate respiratory system struggled to cope, my definition of hell

trying to get to work while recovering from cough/laryngitis and everyone on the tube seems determined to smother me with their various fragrances

never seen any of the late 90s/early 00s teen dramas: one tree hill, the oc, dawson's creek, degrassi, etc. not even buffy!

maybe controversial opinion but I didn't hate the way the new tsw*ft album sounds - it was only upon looking up the lyrics that I was like wow this is truly the most vacuous self-congratulatory cis white feminist brand of "empowerment"

finally put together my top 20 faves list on letterboxd and feeling extremely exposed by the thematic connections between all these films

I have laryngitis 🥲🤫

didn't think fragrantica could get even more vile but apparently they had "rest in peace charlie" on their website header earlier today. literally not surprised given what we know about the owner but still, a new low. stop using fragrantica, everyone!!!!

"Content" is a blatantly misleading term to use for fanworks. Fanworks are the antithesis of content; content is produced for individual gain and consuming, whereas fanworks are created out of inspiration and the communal experience.

I can't believe nepal elected their new PM via discord and d&d groups are out here on the same app struggling to pick a time for the next session

Just a sketch for now of Suna and Choso

joshua on kyuhyun's show it's like my cheolsoo fic coming true

also I'm reminded once again of my 100% correct view that mx has the best rapline in kpop ❤️

finally watched the monsta x killing voice and my godddd just 23 mins of non-stop bangers (and so many others they didn't even get to)

Reviewer: The worst part is, they made the monster hot!

Me, kicking my feet: Oh no omg they made the monster hot?? Wow ahaha I can’t believe they did that, so uh how hot did they make the monster 👀

so beautiful and so moving that I actually don't know what to do with myself now!!!

help I just watched the fall and I've been emotionally destroyed

(flirty) call me, Ishmael
