the part they aim for

basketball dracula isn't real dude he can't-- *sudden squeaking noises from the shadows*

*two pool toys having sex tumble by in the wind* oh thank god

*thunderous slam dunk noise*

not saying this is what that last person was implying at all, but there have been real times where people have acted like being bored to tears by domestic fluff means i dont understand the hypothetical appeal of that happening in real life. and sometimes i just get so blindsided by other peoples understanding of what fiction is even, like, for, categorically. because wish fulfillment/aspiration is so low down on the list of what makes a work hit for me. in many many instances my enjoyment of a piece of fiction goes up directly in proportion with how much i would never in a million years want to directly experience anything happening there.

also something people need to accept re: "what if they (more often 'he') are neurodivergent" is if behavior is literally directly harming other people you really can't expect sympathy regardless. i'm diagnosed bpd, I have advanced knowledge on this topic.

terrifying when you watch a movie or a show or whatever & youre like that was fun but it felt a little redundant they didnt need to hammer the point home that much & then you go online & theres thousands of people going that was so weird i did not get it what did that mean google.com ending explained please?

I wish insomnia at least gave you more usable hours in the day instead of just more hours where you are stupid

i’m not going to call myself “the friend who’s too woke” or hedge around my opinion because this is my deeply considered belief: horror literature is the theater of disgust, and the disgust that drives the vast, vast majority of classic horror media from the 1890s-1940s—dracula, jekyll and hyde, king kong, nosferatu, the mummy, universal frankenstein, the wolf man, cthulhu, and more—is the exact disgust that drove the worldwide tide of violence in the 1930s and 40s, a tide that has never fully receded, and you have NO business adapting a piece of classic horror media if you aren’t willing to put in the work to identify what is portrayed as disgusting in that property and enter into some form of dialogue with it. if you don’t want your movie to be “about” race or class or gender or sexuality or ability, you’re free to choose a source material that isn’t already about that, but unluckily for you giant hypersexual apes do not exist in a vacuum

I think it’s hilarious how someone always mentions autistic people with special interests when someone vaguely mentions the phenomenon of Disney adults. I think the heavy majority of Disney adults are not autistic and it is kind of insulting that you assume they are. You think a grown adult who owns a wall of Mickey ears must be autistic because you picture an infantilized caricature when you think of an autistic person. More than that, I, a funny and cultured autistic guy who collects stickers and rocks, should be allowed to mock Disney adults regardless of if they’re neurodivergent or not.
