I don’t know how people do it
‘ that makes no sense. what are you doing? ’ @childactress
for someone who makes no sense most of the time, making no sense to other people being the biggest fear factor sudden stomach bug gotta race home never come back feeling summoner is a buzzkill. numero uno reason why taking my bike to home depo for the necessary supplies and bolting my door shut for good sounds like a genuinely nice day plan and a solid life solution. truth is, i could probably trip out my window and curtain railing with a pail and rope in a kid down a well situation, organise for someone to send food up every few days with mail and my communications to the outside world. though i guess it’d actually be more of a rapunzel deal since my room is on the second floor . . . god, whatever. whatever. i can’t really get stuck in the hypothetical details right now. there’s spikes in my face and fright in my heart as my legs wobble. they genuinely might give way but if i fall on my face right now, that may really be the final nail in the greg coffin or the greg containing bolted door.
‘ uh . . . ’ i start, embarrassingly. don’t know what it is about any kind of questioning that gets me acting like my hand’s stuck in the cookie jar, but here i am. ‘ just, you know . . . thingy. ’ i raise the camcorder and give it a shake ( way easier of a thing to do when your body’s already doing most of the motor work shake shake shaking away like it’s trying to keep warm. i hate that i do that. ) ‘ just . . . filming. ’
tumblr’s been eating my replies all evening i’ve been writing and rewriting and screaming the whole way
‘ wait, i have a succulent in my pocket. i found it in my car, i’m gonna plant it. we’re gonna plant it, it’ll be sweet. ’ @fullyfungi
‘ you wanna plant it here? won’t that totally mess up the landscaping? succulents aren’t really park plants . . . i think. ’ yeah, i think. blind gardening negativity painted over blindsided shock acted out there. i don’t have a single opinion on plants, parks, on landscaping - let alone any solid facts on what plants actually belong in what setting. you can gather that one looking at me or, in a plainer simpler form, through just a few basic facts from a character profile ( male teen, gawky, clearly bred indoors, pale [ male teen chose to remain indoors from childhood to teenhood, making its obvious claim and ultimate proof on the deathlike pallor that was his fleshy boy cage (ew, i regret that phrase already. that one will keep me up tonight) ] ). no, i don’t know a god damn thing about plants. don’t we need a shovel for this? ‘ wait, in your pocket? how big are those pants? ’
‘ he said he liked my outfit and he gave me a free cinnamon bear. ’ @celmeckis
‘ what? like because of the outfit? ’ kind of hope my dopey excuse for a face doesn’t bear me looking charlie up and down the way that i actually do. despite everything, i’m not subtle in the way i think i am.
i take it all in and everything, i do - charlie’s outfit, i mean - but i don’t see how jumpers get free food. i guess i don’t know, i don’t really know. i’m not a fashion guy. i might try and act on it, like becoming one with asos or getting thrifty or whatever if it means being rewarded by the snack gods. i could wear a nice coat for that. could be the push i need to get convinced to wear anything but a hoodie. (asos, by the way? is that even where people shop? no, not a fashion guy. clothes pulled from the ground kind of guy.) ‘ . . . what the hell were you wearing? ’

are we gonna kiss be honest
hiiiiiiiii my favourite thing that got me hooked on this story and this character and what i think you can best glean from the book to the movie is greg’s worldview and how he reduces literally everyone to their most cartoonish form of themselves and caricaturises them beyond belief so he doesn’t have to meaningfully engage with them so he can keep them at arms reach at all times. i wanna focus on greg’s growth from where we leave off in the book/movie when he seems to come to a sort of actual human revelation that he can’t treat people that way and that it’s actually not at all fucking ok for him to just be a living breathing walking symptom of internalising the representation of people he gets on screen and printing that on the people around him. that’s what i’m thinking and is the only way i could justify remaking a blog for him by actually having something to focus on. welcome <3 ! we’ll have fun
i love it when ciara is like “what if i made a blog for x. i’m not gonna do it” and then an hour later the blog is up and running like it’s inspiring tbqh makes me wanna chase my dreams doubters be damned
i can’t do this anymore
