shipping cangel but in such a way where it's very important that they're each other's best friends first and each other's romantic partners second. you understand

if you are a left-leaning person in a political debate/argument with someone (a normal person - not an avowed fascist but someone who is being polite and open to hearing you out), there are a few questions you need to get comfortable and reliable about asking yourself:

am i treating the other person like it's their first day in the real world and need to be taught what to think, or am i doing the basic decent thing and assuming they have put some amount of thought into their existing beliefs with which i must contend and out-reason?

am i advocating for something, or am i just trying to make this other person feel small or stupid?

in the process of this discussion, have i actually made the case that what i'm advocating for will improve the other person's life in a material way?

and if the answer to some or all of these is "no," what you are doing is venting, preaching, or otherwise not helping to make a persuasive case for your beliefs. as we get closer to the midterms in november, it's going to be important to convince and persuade people to support various issues, and the first thing to do is not enter into those conversations with the attitude that all americans are temporarily embarrassed socialists who just need to be lectured about their own moral turpitude until they agree with me. contrary to popular belief within a not-insignificant subset of the internet, persuasion is not capitulation, it's just politics. if people don't see you as someone who genuinely has their best interests at heart, they will eye you and everything you're espousing with suspicion at best and outright anger at worst. and hostility and grandstanding doesn't convince anyone who isn't already on your side! so once again, i really gotta urge people to try to be thoughtful about the language and rhetoric they use to communicate their platforms to others. use accessible language to advocate for policies in a way that meets folks where they're at and assumes their best intentions. most importantly, again, don't treat people like they're stupid - treat them like you're trying to help them. because ultimately, you are.

(i've made this point before and gotten called everything but a child of god for it, but all i can say is i helped raise over $30 million last year at work that went to unambiguously good programs and causes, so i do know what i'm talking about in terms of persuasive communication. i would like democrats to win a majority this election season, and i think we can do this if we behave like serious people. and if you're not american, i especially don't want to hear from you in the notes. this is a triage election, not a pie-in-the-sky one.)

these days i have like 3 separate interpretations of cangel as a dynamic and they all completely contradict one another but i believe them in equal measure

cangel are romantically and sexually attracted to one another + in love + would date if they could

cangel are super duper best friends who also happen to find each other hot and sometimes make out when they get drunk enough. they wouldn't date though

someone asks cangel if they're dating and they stick their tongues out and go ewwww yuck gross are you out of your mind. they are however deeply emotionally devoted to one another in other ways

watching the devil wears prada 2 a second time really made me three times more conscious of my issues with the script. it's the same writer as the first, so i suspect this is maybe a modern-day executive notes issue, but man it really spells everything out whereas the original is so good at saying so much with so little. for example - i like that andy and emily make up at the end of 2, but the dialogue feels so extremely fed to you (compared to 1, where emily's "you have some very large shoes to fill" communicates everything you need to know about how emily feels about andy in a single line). why do we need a scene of a guy saying "so let me make sure i have this straight, you DON'T have an in with [lucy liu's character] but you told miranda that you do" right after we SEE that happen? it's just littered with this kind of stuff. og's script trusted its audience way more, and is always sharper and stronger with its chosen words. i still like 2 but this was really bothering me the second time around

One thing about Obsession (2026) that I enjoyed was that it almost asks you to feel empathy for the entity possessing Nikki as well as the real one. Like, obviously the things she's doing are horrific and fucked up, but I think the scene where Bear is asking her to "just be Nikki!" and she eventually just desperatly screams "I can't be Nikki!" does a really good job of showcasing the entity's inner feelings. She's been created with the sole purpose of loving this guy more than anyone else but no matter how perfect it is or how much he claims to love her, its not her that he loves, its Nikki. And any time she stops pretending to be Nikki, he reacts (albeit rightfully) with disgust and horror. She can't be Nikki because Nikki would never love Bear, and so Bear will never love her.
