It's important to note that Chekhov's Gun was not originally about foreshadowing, but a piece of advice to playwrights about how every element in a play should have narrative relevance. The corollary to Chekhov's Gun is that if a gun mounted on the wall in act 1 is never used at all in the entirety of the play, then it should be omitted from the play entirely.

I want a love

That can slow down time

That lasts forever

That never dies

So they really went and made a musical of one of my favourite movies... This feels like a personal attack ngl! Been listening to the album nonstop.

Thanks to the kind soul that sent me the slime tut 😭❤️

You were a bolt of lightning Lost Boys (1987) and Lost Boys Musical (2026)

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Michael pissed someone off at the boardwalk. he hears tapping on his bedroom window, he looks over and sees this:

Idea:

Max dies but the lost boys are left alive they're happy Max is gone but they start to realize that without a head vampire something is missing.

This leads to the boys showing up at Lucy Emerson's door unannounced

This happens so much that Lucy now sets extra plates at the table for family dinner nights

thinking about how david doesn't come in to "belong to someone" until michael sings that he wants a love that lasts forever and never dies. you people aren't slick. this was deliberate. i am sick over it. #noticing

[mjpeony]

guys I’m cooking with my next Emerson family long post and I just… please please please just consider the parallels of Michael-Lucy being targeted by vampires while Sam is found by vampire hunters. Like— I’m holding your hand and staring into your eyes begging you to consider the implications.

Michael and Lucy being targeted by men who actively want to make them worse, who don’t know about the vampires until it’s too late; both falling into relationships with very muddied consent but still falling anyways because toxic relationships are their norm. Sam on the other hand being told explicitly what is happening, being handed tools and information to protect himself and save his family from being victims; The Frogs giving Sam time to come to terms with everything and make his own choice about what to do. Like yes I think by now people have realized that the vampires are cycle of abuse/toxic relationship but I don’t see anybody talking about how the vampire hunters, the Frog Brothers, are the complete opposite. Literally fucking hand Sam all the information and tools he needs to save his family from being victims again.

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

there's something very special 2 me that michael, who grew up being physically abused by his father, never seemed to shy away from david's little touches. he also eagerly leaned into star's touch in all their romantic scenes. interesting.
