You should automatically get time off work until the light returns to your eyes and you feel like a real person again

[soclearly]

to all my mutuals who have been inactive since january: i miss you. i hope you're alright. honestly wish i were you you're so mature for that you must be doing so much better than me. love ya.

at one point in time stranger things brought me nothing but joy. now i feel like it's only deteriorating my cardiac health.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

[mooncustafer]

If the text says the curtains are blue you can argue about what that means; but if you’re going to claim they’re actually yellow you’d better have a really good argument.

[xwilltruman]

i know the curtains better than the author. thank you for coming to my ted talk

[maidenvault]

Fandom has such unresolved mommy/daddy issues about authors. If you apply a little reading comprehension skills to my original post you’ll see I didn’t say anything at all about the author. You guys always make “interpretation” about your beef with the author. You’re all obsessed with the author. This post is just about deciphering what is there in canon. Figuring out what is being communicated by the canon itself with all the words and images and basic formal elements that are there in canon. That’s all it’s about. It really doesn’t matter if the author intentionally put all those things there in a pattern that might support the idea that this one character’s queer. That’s not what this is about. What matters is if you can compellingly argue there’s a pattern of evidence there. Or not. Everyone is conspiring together to make me go insane still adding shit about authorial intent on my post.

[postilionstruckbylightning]

Some people have decided “death of the author” should be “death of the text”.

[itchycoil]

could you be any more annoying.. lol

Easily

they made mike want to play a song by a band called butthole surfers. some will try to tell you there was no intention behind that whatsoever. malicious or otherwise. "they did not bait you" or "they did not intend to imply anything with that at all." sure. suuuuuuure.

diablo cody doesn't really do male protags but i think it would be interesting to see finn wolfhard in a reitman/cody collab. something kinda like young adult maybe.

[soclearly]

i am so excited to find out what's the great thing that the people that work with finn wolfhard see in him. like everyone from the duffer brothers to jesse eisenberg to jason reitman to guillermo del toro have praised him after working with him and i. Enjoy the guy surely. i see the potential. but just. those people didn't even make him do much. if they say he has so much juice why didn't they squeeze him harder. show me whatever you say that guy can do. all the real good stuff is from like before he turned 16. is that all he's got. cause he's 24 this year...
