Festive 6 June, everyone who celebrates!

pacific rim fucks severely for a lot of reasons but my favorite is that it opens with "the lizard aliens are unionizing so we built robots running on the power of love to fight them you got all that right" and before you have time to really process that concept bam gunshot body on the floor and the movie goes "now consider the vast power of grief in this setup" it never really stops considering

It also has a scene where the robot uses a boat as a baseball bat. That also fucks tremendously.

you should NOT be at the club. you should be in the streets, june 5th, 1832, paris france. you should be building a barricade

i love it and hate it when a character in a story is so obviously created to be cool and awesome and then i do think they're cool and awesome. like fuck, yeah, ok, they're fucking epic. swag as hell. you got me you coolbaited me ok? i'm coolbaited.

I think my preferred Buddie dynamic is that Buck knows and is sick with it and repressing it. And Eddie doesn’t know until it hits him over the head and then he immediately does something about it.

Like Buck is doing 4D chess in his mind to not think about being in love with Eddie. But for Eddie, it will be some catalyst that causes every thing to suddenly snap into place and he has a that’s so raven style vision but it’s all flashbacks and him realizing he’s in love with Buck and then immediately finding Buck and confessing to him and kissing him and Buck is like wait what’s happening you’re straight and Eddie is like no I’m not and Buck is like when did that happen and Eddie said five seconds ago and now are you going to marry me or what

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

the whole of 9-1-1 is crack treated seriously so back off
