sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

BTVS was soooooo crazy because joss whedon was like "I'm going to write an incel revenge fantasy where I turn the leather wearing bad boy I was jealous of in high school into a loser cuck! I'm going to literally paralyze him from the waist down so his dick doesn't work and then make him watch his girlfriend make out with a guy taller than him and call that guy daddy in front of him! I'm going to write a million scenes of him getting beat up by girls and even show him having to be rescued by a girl in a princess carry and another scene where he gets tortured by a girl and have mad scientists metaphorically castrate him in on a lab table and I'll write a weirdly homoerotic scene in which the boyfriend of the woman he's in love with breaks into his home and shoves him against a wall and impales him with a plastic phallic object" and james marsters was like "sounds hot I can't wait to play this character I'm going to make him look slutty and turned on the entire time" and five million teen girls gays and theys in the viewing audience had the weirdest possible sexual awakening

“must everything be homoerotic” no. but many things are, you will find

and if not, rest assured. I will find a way

never related to authors being like "childhood is such a blessed innocent time", catch me with that jane eyre shit like "such dread as children only can feel" and "I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room"

CHILDHOOD IS MARKED BY FEAR WITHOUT THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN IT

hamlet’s “i did love you once” and ophelia’s “indeed, my lord, you did make me believe so” is such an underrated gut punch. it’s betrayal it’s heartbreak it’s vulnerability it’s so over. truly no one is doing it like shakespeare

also sorry i’m so tired of people acting like they can have nothing in common with someone a few years older or younger than them. have you never had coworkers who aren’t your exact age. have you never taken an art class with someone thirty years older than you. have you never had a friend. like did covid fry everyone’s brains this badly

#all my closest friends are older than me in varying ages #1 year to 40 years older #but i’m also super close to someone 10 years younger than me #like i’ll never understand not engaging with people outside of your immediate circle #but nyc is its own beast so maybe that’s why

why not have the reader re-read a sentence now and then? it won't hurt him....

It's important to have one medium you are pretentious about and another medium that shows you also have dogshit taste

taking a break from my mental health to focus on watching a tv show

Eight episodes is not enough for a season. A proper season should contain no less than:

12 Plot Driven episodes

5 Filler Episodes with vague but crucial references to the main plot

8 Purely Filler episodes

For a total of 25 episodes per season. This is what we deserve. This is our birthright.

Show runners need time to tell their stories. They need to space things out to generate suspense. They need to put their OCs into Silly Little Situations with no plot development just because those situations would be fun to watch.

Please, I'm begging. Restore this storytelling medium to its former glory. It's not too late.
