you guys should watch na hong-jin's THE WAILING. the cinematography is gorgeous and the whole atmosphere of the film is so evil and terrifying. completely blew me away when i first watched it. definitely one of my fav horror films of all time
There is a whole generation of men out here who are absolutely exhausted from being the "transitional guy." They come into your life, absorb all the trauma your toxic ex left behind, provide stability, and love you gently. But because your brain is still addicted to chaos, you mistake his consistency for a lack of passion. You drain his peace to heal yourself, and then abandon him because there isn't enough "drama" to keep you entertained. Men are constantly being used as emotional handymen to fix damage they didn't cause, only to be discarded the second the foundation is stable. It is pure emotional vampirism.
RIP Dan Simmons (April 4, 1948 – February 21, 2026). Author of one of the greatest science fiction book series ever, the Hyperion Cantos. Thanks for firing my imagination 📚
I read the Hyperion tetralogy over the last year and it is one of the best things I've ever read. Not just the best sci-fi. It stands on its own as a work of literary genius. The last book had me in tears by the end. It's very rare for a book to hit that hard emotionally.
Absolutely gutted to hear that Simmons has passed.
