intro post thing bc I never got round to doing one
(and my description is too cramped)
free palestine 🇵🇸 get out of here if you dont support that.
- driftwood/drifty/any variation of that rlly,
- he/him, transgendarrr
- mage of hope
- australian 💪🔥💯
- i very frequently and gleefully indulge in my interests here & also post about every minute detail of my life so do expect that if you follow. i also adore rpf and especially enjoy insanely niche rpf 🙂↕️
- samcoded adamgirl 🤞he was a major character in my heart
-i say this in the following dot point also but charlie brooker is my other biggest obsession as of right now and also the past like year now. i could talk about him for literal hours
-right now my other biggest obsession is comedy stuff, especially would i lie to you & of course david mitchell + lee mack. and i’m also insanely obsessed with charlie brooker for reasons that are at this point a bit hard to explain but please feel free to ask me about literally anything comedy related i would be overjoyed
(p.s. if you see me talking about a “cb” or “charlie” or just “brooker” then im talking about charlie brooker, unless i’ve specified otherwise. i do that cos i don’t wanna clog up the search results *too* much lol)
-franz ferdinand is one of my other biggest obsessions. please please ask me about them i am sosososo autistic abt them. (to clarify i mean rhe band)
-also I LIKE TO DRAW!! my art + my other creations (ie. gifs and the like) are all under the “#my art” tag on this blog if you wanna have a look
rn im also into northern exposure (currently rewatching it!) and nirvan(n)a the band the show (+ various other associated pieces of media)
more interests, my ao3, my websites, other accounts and sort of ‘dni’ below the cut!
*slenderman voice* decorate my tree
💥‼️currently very obsessed with franz ferdinand (again the band not the guy), comedy in general & the show ‘would i lie to you’ (but especially these folks: david mitchell, lee mack and charlie brooker + the series ‘the trip’) (also MANY different tv comedies and comedians and so on), horror stuff, saw, homestuck, aaaaand mormonism + jehovahs witnesses (I DO NOT SUPPORT EITHER!! they are both cults and i merely have an interest in how they function and things related to them as a whole)‼️💥 + more listed below
i post and rb about a variety of things but mainly homestuck, camp here and there, spn, the last dragon chronicles, house md, comedy, as well as fob, mcr, franz ferdinand and a variety of other music adjacent things 👍
- ‼️ i like to rpf post i like to read rpf and i like to draw rpf ‼️ if youre uncomfortable with rpf that is a-okay and i understand & respect that, i’m still happy to be mutuals provided you arent like. a jerk or whatever lol. i’m also super interested in the concept of rpf itself and the relationships between fiction & reality, creator & audience, etc. so like if you wanna have a discussion about rpf (no matter your opinion on it) i’d be very happy to oblige!
^ note that i am NOT a genuine tinhatter and all rpf-style things i say are firmly in the realm of fiction, even if i like to talk like i believe it irl ultimately i respect that i don’t know these people and it’s not my place to make genuine assumptions about their personal lives
ao3 is driftwoodGrockles ! i have three (3) fics including a tldc ending rewrite you should totally read it
you can see my strawpage here ‼️ and also my franz ferdinand infodumping site here 👍
if you want feel free to say hello to me on pesterchum, im usually anarchicArtistry on there!
i have 2 dogs & a cat they are everything! and thats all there is to say now

generally i’ll just block if i dont want you interacting but in general don’t follow me if you’re a terf, incest shipper/poster, or strictly 18+/nsfw account
we have a new homeroom teacher now right . anyway she said she finds conspiracy theories really interesting so i said she should watch operation avalanche and she told me i was the third person to recommend it to her in the past 2 weeks… wild
apparently the other 2 ppl who recommended it were just her friends so i suspect she has some matt johnson fan friends… she also apparently added it to her watchlist after i brought it up so 🤞 hopefully she’ll watch it for real

Fun fact for anyone who does this, being a misogynistic man isn't funny just because you're trans or you think the idea of treating trans women like women is inherently funny, how funny do you think she finds your "ironic" misogyny when you punch down on the women that don't have cis privilege over you
also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.
This poll Assumes Things about the mode age on this site that I don't think are true. Sure, teens and younger twenty-somethings can find friends that old, but plenty of people on this site are older than that.
school librarian told me and my friend this morning that we should check the library if we had time & so we did . and there was a GUIDE DOG IN TRAINING THERE!!! who we got to pat!!! it was an awesome start to the day
random ass poll but i love random ass polls and i’ve been having convos about this lately so! i’m aware fic length has a lot to do with this, but imagine your fic has around the word count of one of the longer ones you’ve written. if you rb this please rb with the amount of words it is!
how long does it take you to write and finish a fic?
1 week
2-3 weeks
a month (and change)
2-3 months
6+ months
over a year
results button!
Remaining time: 5 days 21 hours
for context: my longest fic is just over 15k and it took me a year to write, my second longest that i’ve published so far is 6.7k and it took me a few days shy of two months.

Actually, question: if you could make a like Intro To Cameramen: A 101 on Jared and Luca like syllabus or whatever, what would you put on it? like what do you think is good study material here?
VERY good question
Source material:
every* cameraman reference in nirvanna the band the show / ntbts, ME! lol. — if i had the strength i would remake this entire thing because i feel like i missed so much but it does its job. would also just highly recommend watching the show from a camera point of view, thinking about why they chose to do certain shots the way they did and noticing what they choose to focus/zoom on.
Jared Raab Abuse Compilation, layaboutace
Big Shiny Smoked Meat Chips with Jared and Luca, Just Chips Dot Com — this is in the louvre, to me
interview with Luca Tarantini (Nirvanna the Band the Show), Allegra - stopitsgingertime
i didn't know you could make a movie like this, patrick 2masso
Other appearances that are maybe a little less relevant/have less new info but are cool if you're wanting to listen to more:
Autostereogram for After Effects Tutorial, Luca Tarantini
CJAM Interviews - Jared Raab, CJAM 99.1 FM
The Craft #001 - Jared Raab, The Craft: a Cinematography Podcast

Episode 24: Interview With Luca Tarantini, FilmGeek
Jew-Boy, Jared Raab — semi-autobiographical(?) script for his student film
Supplementary:
Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One (1968), William Greaves — fun fact, i cannot find it now but i believe this is one of luca's top 4 on letterboxd ^_^
Messingkauf Dialogues, Bertolt Brecht — it has been a while since i read Brecht but i know Matt talks about Verfremdungseffekt and this did change how i engage with performance, theatre and improv so i can't not mention it
How To with John Wilson (2020), John Wilson
Creep (2014), Patrick Brice
Other things that do not quite fit above but talk about the lines between reality and performance and/or constant surveillance:
Millennium Actress, Satoshi Kon (2001) — most of Kon's work really but MA is my favourite
6 TILL 6, BURNERMUNDE (2024)
Reality is a Camera Trick: Film, Bodycams, and the First-Person Shooter, Jacob Geller
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead (1966), Tom Stoppard

Things I technically cannot recommend because I have not watched them yet but am lead to believe have similar stuff going on:
The Psychic Burden of Being Watched, Lily Alexandre
Peeping Tom (1960)
100% open to other additions, reblogs, recommendations too ^_^
just remembered another very interesting resource for if you wanna learn more about jared’s filming process & the mentality behind it: the industry talks interview/qna jared did at york university a few years ago!! lots of very interesting stuff in there including jared saying that in terms of shooting comedy vs drama he thinks they are “one and the same”: “comedy is just good drama”
