Oooh! Which one? (I was going to guess Mamma Desta's, but apparently it has closed since I left Chicago....)

Mine:

Same.

What are your tips for grounding your characters in their setting?

Ditto! (And don't even get me started on Moonlight!)

And ha! I can imagine that.

I actually wrote a whole article about that! (Academic, but I had fun looking at the trajectory from Forever Knight to Angel to shows like Supernatural.)

Why are you crying? It's just a kid's movie."
The movie:

Ken and Barbie in the convertible (BARBIE (2023)), with Wesley's head pasted over Ken's in the backseat and Owen's face pasted over Barbie's behind the wheel while the car goes flying through the air.

WHERE ECHOES WAIT #UnhingedPit #A #H

🎵 To the tune of you-know-what 🎵

Oops, I screamed again
Down into the well
That echo wasn't mine
But it knows me well

Or is the house aware
It's not that innocent

Epistolary gothic horror.

Add in a cup of Dead Like Me and 2 teaspoons of Liam's Lynch's "United States of Whatever" to The Midnight Library. Fold in Dark Matter with half a stick of butter, and you've got The World of No. (More butter as necessary.) #UnhingedPit #A #Q #SPEC

It reminds me of the Tommy Westphall Universe on TV.

Thank you, yes! Paul Bettany OWNS that film from the minute he "trudges" on screen.

I was WAY too excited to take second place in the egg race.
