It seems like Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have started working on their next movie together and I’m so back on my bullshit with these guys.

First Edgar and Simon both posted this to their separate instagram accounts.

Then Simon posted this a few months later. If you don’t know the song he attached to it, look it up. It’s very clear Simon chose it intentionally.

There’s no way to predict what it’s going to be about but I’ve heard whispers that it might lean more towards drama than their other works so I wouldn’t be surprised if it deals with mental health.

Both Simon and Nick have been very open about struggling with depression and trying to slowly kill themselves, Simon with alcohol and Nick with food, due to feeling isolated (Simon’s depression is more of a hormonal disorder while Nicks’s is a reaction to trauma and PTSD) which was why Gary was a depressed and suicidal alcoholic in The World’s End.

They’ve also been very open about their queerplatonic relationship that’s far deeper and more physical than a regular friendship.

By now most people know about them sharing a one-person bed for nine months out of necessity when they were young and they occasionally sleep and cuddle in bed for comfort even to this day. In his memoir Nick mentions several times that they like holding hands when they’re scared (like when a visit to a strip club with Tarantino turned dangerous or when they went ghost hunting together) or when they’re feeling cuddly but are out in polite society. When Nick’s mom died he collapsed on the floor of his hotel room crying and screaming for Simon who rushed in to hold him and it didn’t even occur to them that Nick was naked the whole time until afterwards. None of this ever bothered Simon’s wife because she trusted Simon wasn’t cheating on her with Nick, but Nick’s wife demanded they stop sharing beds after her and Nick got married. They did out of respect for her (though Simon visited Nick the night before the wedding so they could sleep together one last time) but the marriage only lasted five years and they got right back to it.

But they also had to acknowledge that while they’re each other’s biggest comfort they haven’t always been the best for each other when it came to coping with their mental health. They had to get better separately to be happy and healthy together later.

Simon especially has talked about how being part of the Mission Impossible franchise saved him because it surrounded him with people who knew how to help him overcome his alcohol addiction.

Seeing how both Simon and Nick likes to play roles that are adjacent to their own situations and Edgar very much encourages them to normalize talking about mental health as well as be ambassadors for non-sexual male intimacy I wouldn’t be surprised if they lean into that considering the post Simon made. Everything around that is a complete mystery tho.

Or maybe Simon just crash into a fence again 🤷

[thehmn]

I watched The World’s End again and when I said they like playing characters that are adjacent to themselves I was completely unaware of how true that is for this movie.

When they wrote it Simon had been in rehab and on suicide watch that didn’t help him in the long run because he didn’t have the right support system, just like Gary. Gary’s rant about what rehab looks like clearly comes from Simon’s own personal experience.

And Nick had been through a divorce just like Andy, and just like Andy who admired Gary but had to cut him out of his life for his own well being, Nick wrote about watching Simon struggle and being unable to help him because he wasn’t in a mental or emotional place where he could help.

The way they both tell the story of their struggles together I suddenly realized how symbolic the last few pubs are for them.

Gary keeps going while Andy tries and fails to stop him because he himself is constantly being burdened with other things. And Gary keeps trying to help Andy, telling him to watch out and handing him the car keys to leave, eventually yelling at Andy to stop following him, begging him to please just leave and let him kill himself, but Andy refuses despite not knowing what to do to make Gary stop. When Steven asks why Andy won’t just leave Gary the way Gary left Andy, all Andy can say is “I can’t”

The World’s End, especially the last part, is literally just them telling us about their relationship and their struggles. Simon using “Me and My Husband” to describe his feelings about Nick seems even more hard hitting now.

“But me and my husband

We're doing better

It's always been just him and me, together

So I bet all I have on that

Furrowed brow

And at least in this lifetime

We're sticking together

Me and my husband

We're sticking together

And I am the idiot with the painted face

In the corner, taking up space

But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved”

It’s probably because they’ve been working on themselves that they’re finally ready to do another movie together.

I’m not sure I’m ready tho if it’s true it’s going to be more of a drama than comedy…

1) do this even if you're under 40. seriously. I definitely should have been doing something like this for years and I only turned 40 a month and a half ago

2) if you're like me just now trying this going "oh god i've only done 15 and i think my hands are cramping" start lower than 30 and increase by 5 once whatever number you're doing no longer makes your hand cramp up. I can manage about 15 per exercise at the moment.

When someone gives the advice of “don’t be afraid to disappoint your parents” they don’t just mean taking music theory in college or starting a YouTube channel.

It also means wearing things they might not approve of. Using accommodations that they might not think you need. Not falling for their guilt trips. Eating when you’re hungry, not when it suits them and their idea of your weight or health. Making your own friends instead of seeking the stamp of approval from them.

Of course, some parents are stricter than others, and some use abuse to keep you from expressing yourself. But do what you can, even if it seems small.

Otherwise, when your parents are no longer in the picture, you’ll try to find it somewhere else to get validation. A strict boss, an abusive partner, a selfish friend.

Going against your parent’s wishes is developmentally healthy. Not doing so stunts your independence and self-regulation. You shouldn’t be living to constantly please others, even the people who love you.

I think the solution to kids on the Internet is to have specific, kid friendly spaces on the Internet. Kids wouldn't come across "adult content" on YouTube if barbie dot com still had flash games and this is a hill I will die on.

[aetherograph]

Oh! Then I know the EXACT person you should be mad at! Michael O'Rielly! He's the one that gutted the Children's Programming Rules, which covered internet as well as television.

[jauntylittlefrillyboy]

HELLO?

[aetherograph]

#so the death of the Saturday morning cartoon is THIS motherfuckers fault?????

Indeed it is! The FCC controls how much of broadcasting has to cater to children and that includes how educational that programming has to be, and exactly how much and in what way you are allowed to advertise to kids. That's why for the entire 90s and up to the early 00s, kids shows had shorter commercial breaks, and ads that talked about a website had to say "ask your parents before going online", and those websites had to be non-commercial--i.e. they could not be shops, and could not have any way you could spend money or were encouraged to spend money. That's why Barbie.com was flash games, and O'Rielly LIFTING that ban is why Barbie.com now takes you directly to a storefront instead.

If you're mad about Saturday Morning Cartoons, dark patterns in ads targeted at children, online protections for kids, or wondering why educational children's shows aren't as much of a thing as they used to be, get mad at the FCC and the person in charge of it who is gutting the Children's Brodcasting Rules (sometimes called the Kid Vid Rules), because those rules control all of that!

While O'Rielly is responsible for gutting the rules in 2019, he was replaced in 2020 by Nathan Simington as head of the FCC, and Simington resigned in June of this year. The post remains vacant as of the time of this writing (August 31, 2025).

And a side note: Things like KOSA and SCREEN and all those other censorship bills that use "think of the children" are not going to protect children at all; if you want to protect kids online, there is already a way to do that it's called the Kid Vid Rules and the FCC is the one that can update and change them to keep up with the times! It doesn't need a congress vote, it already got voted on in 1990!

Have you ever wanted to be in a soulmate au? No? Too bad! Spin the wheel and see what bizarre soulmate au you've found yourself in. Soulmate can be platonic, familial, rivalry, romantic or whatever else you want it to be though. Do note that some of these do imply a more romantic or sexual soulmate but honestly it's kinda funnier if the signifier is something kinda horny and the soulmate is just platonic.

How we feeling?

I found my soulmate super quick and everything's fine!

The soulmate signifier is so unintrusive I don't care if i find them or not

Things will be really bad at first but once I find my soulmate it should be fine

My entire life is ruined and I have to work around this for the rest of my life

I'm just really confused, this concept seems more convoluted the more you think

I'm just straight up dead?? what??? isn't this supposed to be a romance trope???

Well my life is just going to be a comedy of annoying errors.

Oh this is just really cute in general, I'll be fine even if it takes awhile

Oh my life has objectively been improved by this universe actually

This is a fate worse then death

I am actively trying to avoid finding my soulmate
