100 Words a Day - I Saw the TV Glow

I watched I Saw the TV Glow last night and I can already tell that movie is gonna fuck me up for the next couple of weeks. Holy shit, it captures such a unique intersection of the perils of nostalgia, feeling like an outsider, feeling alien in your own skin, and the crushing weight of reality when you KNOW that something is completely wrong but you have to just suck it up and act like everything is normal. You know, like we're all doing every day of our lives.

I won't spoil anything but this movie is much more of an existential dread type of horror movie, rather than anything traditionally scary. It honestly reminds me much more of the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared tv/web series than any movie I've ever seen. Give it a watch if you feel like randomly crying three days from now when you remember Justice Smith's performance in the last 10 minutes of the movie.

Out.

The broker carried an air about him, and the city guards stood straighter when he talked to them. The head of the group nodded at what the broker said. Timerin took it in as he bit into the apple, savoring the sweet and sour taste. He found it curious how the taste of his choice in fruit matched his feelings at what he saw.

The broker slowed as he approached a group of city guards and Timerin turned to his right without breaking stride. He brushed against one of the secret guards and came away with his knife. It wouldn’t slow him down long, but the pause would make the difference between life and death. Once he reached a stall of fruit, Timerin handed the old man a coin for an apple and picked a spot among others…

Was man nicht erkennt

Du lachst. Die anderen stimmen ein. Doch sehe ich es in deinen Augen - und den seinen; es war mehr als nur ein einfacher Witz.

Du zuckst mit den Schultern. Schüttelst den Kopf. Doch auch, wenn du so tust als ob, am Ende ist uns beiden klar, dass du davon wusstest.

"Ist mir egal", sagst du. Sanft und bedacht. Doch scheint niemandem aufzufallen, dass lieber etwas ganz anderes hast sagen wollen.

Du winkst es ab. Nimmst es hin. Drehst dich um und gehst. Einfach so. Ohne ein weiteres Wort zu verlieren. Doch fällt niemandem auf, was wirklich hinter der Maske steckt.

My rare pair for @topgundrabble.

"I'm not him, you know?" The words get carried away by the soft ocean breeze.

She stops and smiles, a playful tip of her lips; eyes too smart for her own good.

"Good," she says, "that's good."

They walk some more. She brushes their fingers together.

"He was just a teenage dream. And for a while I thought I wanted to be young again. But then…" She sidesteps a wave of salty water, bumping into him. His arms wrap around her waist, steadying. "I remembered I'm a grown woman. And I know what I want and that's you."

Beau smiles.
