what really fucks me up about watching the truman show in 2025 is how it's not fictional. truman is fictional, but the truman show isn't.

there's thousands of truman shows. you find them on youtube, tiktok, instagram... family and mommy vloggers, sad beige moms and now the trend of neglectful moms showing the "reality" of parenting. all of them using their kids for entertainment. each child their own truman; living a life manufactured by their parents, a camera watching their every moment, broadcasted for the entire world to see.

tbh, i didn't even think about that when i made my post and holy shit you're so fucking right

the mark of a real actor is if they did theater before they hit it big and continue doing theater after. if they didn’t do theater before, then they are hacks and if they stop doing theater after, then they are dilettantes who lucked out. obviously this applies to all actors ever and there are no exceptions.

daniel radcliffe and barbra striesand kind of being like the jesus and satan exceptions to this

gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.

"Whimsy" is truly a wretched term. What maketh thee so carefree?

I’m starting to think some of y’all haven’t actually felt the rain on your skin… which is crazy because no one else can feel it for you

i love when a character’s worst traits become, against all odds and against their will, what saves them. when their irrational paranoia suddenly becomes right. when their obsessive vendetta suddenly makes them useful. when their cowardice leaves them the only person left to carry on

big fan of when you peel back all layers of a character and at the bottom of it there's love

[hiveswap]

why are they doing this? because they loved someone so much it caused the plot to happen. Grief counts btw

[hiveswap]

ESPECIALLY a big fan of when this isn't enough to make them a good person

basically the best thing a story can have is a woman who is doomed. massive points if she destroys the people around her in response.
