sometimes im like maybe knowing so much about story and writing and film and composition really is ruining my ability to appreciate the movies i watch but then i decide actually no fuck you everyone should get on my fucking level maybe
the interesting thing about watching obsession as someone who isnt really all that phased by horror is that those parts of the movie dont stick with you, so instead you start having nightmares about the moments where nikki snapped out of the wish
saw obsession and watching bear go from a complete slob at the beginning to kinda put together by the end while the exact opposite was happening to nikki
"i never realised men *Need* belts" THEY WOULDNT IF THEY ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT BUYING PANTS THAT ACTUALLY FIT THEM
ITS NOT A PHYSIOLOGY THING ITS A COMPETENCE THING
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE MEN DO
one time i went to see a comedy show on a cruise ship and the comedian was at the door asking everyone to make him laugh before they went in so i told a really bad joke and he laughed but then he was like "that was so bad you can do better than that" and im like "you laughed tho"
This is what actual range looks like because this dude has been in Marvel, Star Trek, LOTR, The Boys, Doom, Judge Dredd and somehow none of his characters feel like the same actor
hell even i do it to other nonbinary people its not fucking taboo its just how we were raised to view the world ur allowed to be aware of that ur allowed to still be a part of that system the only way to break out is to be honest about the ways its affected you and how yoh think
hate it when people ask what my agab is so i turn it around on them like "what do *you* think it is" and theyre all "oh i have no idea" like no you do have an idea, everyone does, we live in a binary society thats incapable of seeing outside of it THATS WHY YOU ASKED THE QUESTION
not that my close friends are asking me that either bc they already know bc i really dont have a problem with people knowing i have a problem with the way they see me differently yknow
its never like close friends wanting to get to know me better or anything like that its always practically strangers just wanting to know my business fsr
i wouldnt write a main character that gets worshipped by men around the world i could write an effective satire i would never fall into the same trap that every single writer who has ever attempted this before has fallen into i would never
my problem is that, as a writer, when i look at the constant failures of writers trying to critique toxic masculinity by satirising it, i go, "i could do it tho"
