If you can't handle me at my fervid adolescent power fantasy you don't deserve me at my allegorical exploration of undergoing and transcending fervid adolescence.

...seems like that's probably the point of the movie? He doesn't want a real relationship where he has to be emotionally vulnerable and she has the agency to leave him!

[W.E.B. DaBoi @Tyre_94]

This scene pissed me off because he ain’t even have to make that wish lmao shorty was throwing it at him, and he got scared.

Moving people's stuff out of the dryer is a normal and well-established feature of laundry room etiquette!

[mrs. glock 🩵 @mylovedes_1]

everyone’s talking about touching clothes when this a COMMUNAL LAUNDRY ROOM. that means if you aren’t there and somebody needs to use it, your shit will be moved. you can’t hold up other people and be mad they move your shit

Looking at old photos of myself and noticing the loss of elasticity in my face

[nina(delphia) (existential dread version) @ninastarner]

well to be honest I get it. that’s the best fucking facelift i’ve ever seen

Deciding your life is over at age 38 is exactly how many people end up spending the last 40-60 years of their life doing absolutely nothing, miserable.

@falseroxy Same!

...the examples given in the replies are stuff like crystals, auras, and ghosts, which are not in fact things that most or many self-styled "rational" people believe in

[🅱️askerville 🇦🇪 @WB_Baskerville]

A weird thing the contemporary world is that the average secular person is very confident they have a rational and scientific worldview, yet they have tons of beliefs that are sort of very obviously mystical or “woo”. But this doesn’t register to them at all.

Not even minimum wage! Zero compensation whatsoever for long hours of work on the production, which has to be illegal

My wife once worked as a crew member on some independent feature film and she simply never got paid at all

You don't need to do "media literacy" about John Cage's 4'33"

An underrated technique in writing dialogue is not writing dialogue at all

Use your "said" substitutions very deliberately, but also be deliberate about when/why you write out the dialogue in the first place

You can absolutely just summarize--e.g. "Joe told her about his night"

[🏳️‍🌈C̵Δ̸R̶R̷O̴W̴ 🏳️‍⚧️ @LocalCreature]

Hard agree

"Hissed," "growled," "muttered," etc. all have so much more impact if they are used very deliberately; otherwise the reader can tell you had the thesaurus open in another window and their eyes will glaze over

[callie ✨ @ringedpheal]

I’m not here to police anybody’s writing but unfortunately I spent 4 years getting a degree that Drilled into my head that you should almost always use “said” unless how they say it is of Utmost Importance and I discovered I genuinely do like it way times better doing it that way

They always seem so relaxing to me

I wouldn't mind getting trapped in the poolrooms

[👻❄️Rafael ⚔️🌿 @ReverieZzzx]

poolrooms is my favourite part of the backrooms that isn’t part of the original canon. Not a huge fan of all the levels and entities nonsense but the poolrooms is awesome
