so I'm incredibly late to the game but. man. watching the first episode of heated rivalry with my housemates and oh my god this is very explicit to watch in a group

[archaic-stranger]

yes mr rochester is an archetypal byronic hero but the sheer magnitude of jane eyre's weird girl energy cancels it out. to her he's just a normal guy

I hate getting autistic bullied at the workplace :/

i think the whole Having A Job thing would be less bad if people in management positions were capable of planning and abstract thought

MAYA HAWKE as ROBIN BUCKLEY in STRANGER THINGS 5. Vol 1

[queerxqueen]

byler aside, will and robin’s friendship and solidarity was so beautiful and so important and to see queer characters bond over their queerness and to have that queerness save the day in a major franchise is already so huge

[sticklystag]

love how robin just drags will around that’s her new favorite gay boy

“we need more weird art!” but not anything that makes me feel uncomfortable or alienated or challenged. “weird art” but i don’t want to consider the perspective of anyone i might have real irrevocable differences from. “weird art” but everything must be carefully couched in the language of white middle-class american sensibilities at all times. “weird art” but it has to be picked from a list of pre-established “weird” tropes that i recognize from carefully curated lists on letterboxd.

First Miffy (Nijntje) drafts by Dick Bruna (1953)

i think taylor swift wishes she was bisexual because she knows it would make her slightly more money. whereas sabrina carpenter wishes she was bisexual so she could have sex with someone who looks exactly like herself. and ariana grande wishes she was bisexual because she did too many designer drugs on the set of wicked and now she has kin memories of being glinda for real

[crabussy]

sighing really long and loud. they should invent an essay that does itself

(horror drone sound effect in the background getting louder) (remembering it is 2025) but not like that

do you have the "my, what a cool and lovely autumn poem" perchance

[windcalling]

[ID of poem within tweet, translated by eileen chengyin chow @ chowleen:

少年不識愁滋味 愛上層樓 愛上層樓 為赋新詞強說愁

而今識盡愁滋味 欲說還休 欲說還休 卻道天凉好個秋 - Xin Qiji 辛棄疾 (1140-1207)

In youth I knew nothing of the taste of sorrow I liked to climb high towers, I liked to climb high towers To conjure up a bit of sorrow to make new verse.

Now I know only too well the taste of sorrow. I begin to speak yet pause, I begin to speak yet pause And say instead, "My, what a cool and lovely autumn." ]

Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

[fanboy-2004]

Reached "you're still a writer" and actually got teary-eyed. Writer's block is a killer of the soul fr.
