if you're writing a thing and you don't know where to take it, ask yourself WDJPD (What Did Jurassic Park Do) and you will have your solution. your guiding light. your clarion call

sometimes the solution is "add a dinosaur"

the INSANE narrative tension of having them drive up to see dinosaurs!!! and: it's an empty paddock

the SUBVERTED EXPECTATIONS

[bringbackthepornbots]

this is legitimately brilliant storytelling. it shifts focus from the dinosaurs as object, to the humans, and lets the question be "where are the fucking dinosaurs" which is answered by "OH SHIT THEY ARE BEHIND ME", with huge terrifying animatronic.

anyway it also

it introduces the trex as a character, not a thing behind bars, and associates her with the escalating hurricane / uncontrollable natural world (obviously replicated in Muldoon's beautiful speech about "they should all be destroyed" and his "clever girl" thing)

they are NOT monsters, most of them, they are CHARACTERS.

and that's such an essential part of why it works and it's so damn gripping

also Laura Dern wears sensible clothing and talks about sexism. the importance of this cannot be overstated

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

my potted rosemary: It is so fucking hot. It's so hot. It's hot and i am Thirdsty

me, watering the uncomplaining peppermint grown from some ready-cut herbs in the supermarket and rooted in a random bucket of dirt that we had sitting around: Do you need anything, Rosemary? Little bit of water maybe?

the potted rosemary, which has not been watered in over a week despite the triple-digit temperatures: If you approach me with a drop of liquid i WILL murder you & everyone you love

my partner, who has read The Odyssey and also saw the film: I liked it! The ogre guy was really cool

me, who has not read nor seen The Odyssey but however plays way way way too much Hades and therefore knows a significant amount of vaguely-accurate lore: You mean the fucking Polyphemus?

love modern interview with the vampire for giving us exposure to so many great black actors, in a way that acknowledges / respects their minority while also not being like A TRAGIC STORY OF BEING TRAGICALLY BLACK like yes we need that too but also love that have a story about how people of ALL ethnicities can he disgusting amoral bloodsucking fiends of the night. and sexy

there is a place in writing where it feels like EVERY SINGLE THING IS GONE WRONG and i am there now, and i cannot think of how to potentially get out if it in a way that doesn't boil down to "write more"

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

i've been thinking a lot about how the World Cup coincided with Expensive Wedding In NYC, and how much finger-pointing and shaming and general vitriol the one event brought about, which yes was a display of overconsumption and we can talk about that, but there is no corresponding wave of beatings when Swift drops an album or when people go to her concerts, and so i am very interested in what we focus on, socially, and perhaps why that might be

ppl are always saying that women are "allowed to cry" more than men are but I don't really think being expected to is the same as being "allowed" to without judgement, because generally the social judgement is still extremely present and imo not made much better by it being a "typical behavior from the likes of you" flavor of contempt
