i saw the tv glow ; names

the yew tree is the tree of death

[mysticaleldritchpunk]

honestly i just don't fuck with people who though that isttvg was pointless, bad, meaningless, etc. i just can't. i can't do it. it's ok if you didn't like it but if i hear one word about how it was bad writing or directing with no coherent argument i'm just straight up not talking to that person TwT

JABON!

I watched 'I Saw the TV Glow'

and I'm super confused. Did it seriously end like that? So did Isabel/Owen just... die? Why did the show become cringy? And most importantly, what was the morale that they were going for?

I might figure out this crap as I let it settle in my mind, but some help would appreciated.

[paige-scottie]

I have a masterpost with all the bts content i could find for isttvg. I have a playlist with interviews and deleted scenes. In one of thr interviews jane schoenbrun talked about the ambiguity of transition for people. Like its an uphill battle, a treadmill or an ever moving goalpost. Discovering youself isnt a simple answer. Sometimes its about constantly having to focus on who you want to be. Hrt isnt a magic potion that poof you genderswap and live happily ever after. finding who you are is following a simple glow, a light calling to you.

Plus the story is all out of order. The birthday party and bathroom scene arent the ending, neither is the apologizing. Isabel and the fire in the forest is. She sat and stared truely into the fire looking for the answer but had to get through the story she was telling herself. So she puts together that story and tells us from the beginning.

"It was raining last night and i couldn't sleep. So i started watching my favorite tv show ; the pink opaque"

Isabel wasn't dying, her inner Mr. Melancholy was. The midnight realm is a prison, not of just the mind, body, soul or the story we tell ourselves. Comfort and nostalgia become a prison.

After the final episode scene. Isabel puts her head into the tv. Dad comes down and pulls her out of it and makes her spit out the static. Then the burning tv, the burning tv represents passion. Thats why Maddy ran away after burning their tv. They couldn't live in that stupid box anymore. Isabel never let go of her passion of self. Till the football field. Owen tackles Matthew. Owen goes back home and dad is missing from the couch. Mr. Melancholy didn't need to police Owen anymore. He was willing to do it to himself. Owen pours water onto the fire. He realized he cant live without that passion, and realizes he can't live with it on the other side of the screen.

Downed power line. Isabel finds a copy of the episode guide for the pink opaque. "Season six, Episode One : Escape From The Midnight Realm"

in the directors commentary, jane schoenbrun reveals something about that page that was found. that if you look closely, you can read the plot that actually happened.

since dishwashers have been proven to lower water usage, dishwashers should be federally standardized.

protests can be more specific like sit ins at the cities most expensive hotels. if they can afford luxury for the rich then they have housing for the poor.

if they are people starving but grocery stores full of food, its abusive and controlled scarcity.

taking down safe consumption sites and then asking people to stay downtown in ottawa is another excuse for police to target poc.

protests can be mass organized, some can break people out of jail, steal food out of grocery stores and so much more. ultimately innovation is required to thin out the police as much as possible.

when filling out taxes you should fill out a form for you to allocate where your money goes.

when you renew your id there should be a form to swear off of owning personal vehicles and get a discount on public transit.

I Win World War 3

have you heard of the Blue Button vs. Red Button morality hypothetical? no? imagine that right now, every human on earth magically gets teleported into a room alone and in front of them are two buttons a red button and a blue button. if more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. but if more than 50% of people press the red button, everyone who pressed the blue button dies. which button do you choose?

in middle school my teacher speculated about world war 3. my teacher was teaching about world wars and said "there is a theory that world war 3 will be psychological warfare." i asked "what if we are fighting it now, how would we know?" that stumped him so i spent time thinking about this.

if i cant define when it starts/started then why wouldn't it date back to the beginning of human history? what has been every battle and every war? the battle between the value of life and the value of controlled constructs.

"Don't be afraid of what you don't know."

you know this thing that's happening, its not coming from me. its like I'm just a passenger, its not a bad thing. its like a really good thing, its like your music. you know when you're in the flow- it just feels... I'm in the flow. and i told you when I'll tell you I'll get where I'm supposed to be and this is it. right here. its where I'm supposed to be. - Margaret Fairchild.

They regard empathy as an evolutionary advantage as the foremost evolutionary advantage. in fact ; the core of animate existence. our rejection of this understanding is leading to extinction. - Hugo Wakefield.

looking back at those shows and movies and games and memories as a kid. times were so easy back then

god the candy, the candy alone was so much cooler like pixie sticks were so cool. i mean they were just sugar with food coloring but damn it was nice to have as a snack. and fundips? dont even get me started on ringpop?!

games were cooler back then too like pokemon and digimon and yugioh, THUNDERCATS! POWER RANGERS! god i used to play in sand boxes all day with just a toy truck and just scoop sand back and forth and it was so cool like how it meant nothing but the days went by so quickly

this is the fulcrum of comfort you get lulled into

even blues clues and dora the explorer were better than cocomelon and baby shark. god these kids are just brainrotting into an ipad. who raised these kids? no no i dont mean my friends my age, not those kids i just mean

times were simpler back then the comfort you get lulled back into was maddy returning. look she's back! comforting songs and beautiful lighting

TIMES WERE SIMPLER BACK THEN!

i mean i would do anything to go back to that life, complacent, asleep at the wheel. live under a rock. its better than having withdrawal from my addiction to depression, FUCKING ITS BETTER THAN SEPARATION ANXIETY FROM MY OWN TRAUMA. I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO SLEEP TO GO BACK TO THE MIDNIGHT REALM I MEAN

its so pretty in there. who cares about control or choice i just want to go through the motions of life and just be a victim.

the movie is centered around comfort and when the fulcrum is pushed. it all becomes uncomfortable. that same comfort that you try go back to, its not the same is it?

its like watching your favorite tv show from when you are a kid. you've become aware of the fact that its all so bad.

like i was talking to my therapist about buffy being her favorite show. she only watched the first 3 seasons over and over

imagine the selective memory to dismiss half of your favorite show.

when i watched it, i kept cringing at all of the times they said the r-slur it just

they weren't easier at all. it was just easier for you to remember the good times than to try and put in effort to new ones.

its too hard to put in effort to better times? its too hard to make better times.

but why don't you try?

[paige-scottie]

how do you remember watching i saw the tv glow?

do you remember owen being a closeted trans girl and maddy was their bestfriend that he did girl stuff with? but are you sure? are you sure thats all it was? it took me a long time to tell you about it, i came a very long way to ask you this

the only times owen gendered maddy was when he didnt recognize her. and when he realized he was never going to see her again

also i saw a story for teenage sex and death at camp miasma from the director q&a.

they said maddie has a secret. is maddy short for maddison? i mean what else could it be? why would maddy not like being called maddy at the end of the planetarium scene?

so like mythic quest just ended like that like that just happened and they ended it.

anyways imma pitch a movie for it just for the sport of writing

ian has to go to some event thing but is distracted and calling poppy for no reason. poppy is in the office putting out fires. brad is talking about some arp/creative commons because backrooms and scp blew up and is pitching it up to david. jo is taking down notes and dana goes to work on some project. carol is hode queen of the business world and has her own company about hr and is actually out running a tedtalk on hr not being therapy. andy and mikey are running the tiktok account for mythic quest and are doing silly challenges and dances. brad actually set it up as a way to bruise their egos but poppy and rachel show brad that the comments genuinely love it. pootie shoe just sold out his coachella tickets sue has a partner that she met online playing mythic quest, weird story for another time. lou is dating their celebrity crush somehow. phil had an accident he blames on mythic quest and swore revenge on them all, phil swears his vengeance in his wheelchair. michelle and helping her sister played by arasha lalani. arasha needs something from mythic quest to give to her boyfriend thats also a movie star in a marvel movie and a supporting character in the mythic quest movie. anthony and paul are stuck in their mo-cap suits and are in a rig that holds them up in the air. joe maganiello is on fire and snoopdogg is putting him out. danny trejo and kristen stewart are there to audition but are ignored because of the chaos.

now the actual pitch after all that set up

kristen stewart, and danny trejo recall trying to walk around mythic quest to the police. david is dead. found dead in the bathroom stall, the last swirly that killed him. jo traumatized because she was looking for him and reported the body. poppy cant reach ian, neither can shannon. pootie shoe says how worried he is about dad. dana comes back is picking up rachel and is trying to get her out of there because of how overstimulated she is. storm is there with baby apollo and the baby just fell asleep in the car. brad also asks to leave. a long shot of brad trying to recall the night and what could have happened to david. brad takes a shot of congnac. a knock at the door. brad is dead. the police found him. rachel and dana confused. they go back to the office because they just wanted to comfort the memories of david and brad. janitor finds them. more police. carol has vague memories of hr letters to penny silvia she has seen this before but doesnt know what happened. she starts piecing it together. carol found dead. michelle, phil, anthony, paul, phil, andy, mikey, pootie shoe, shannon, joe manganiello, snoopdogg, kristen stewart are all dead. danny trejo is hospitalized and unconcious. poppy and the police are talking to danny trejo as he wakes up. danny trejo recalls the horrible monster that attacked him. it all settles in to poppy. she realizes that jo overheard ian call poppy "babe" she turns around and the police officers are dead and danny trejo is shocked in silence on the bed and reaches for emergency and jo kills him too. jo holds poppy down and ian runs in and tries to talk her down.

detectives played by charlie day and glenn howerton are recalling this story to their chief.
