things are shaping up to be pretty odd

there's not a single nonchalant bone in my body. I care so much I could literally vomit.

Remembering the almost imperceptible high pitched buzzing that let you know the tv was still on even when nothing was on the screen. Also putting your forearm near the screen and watching the hairs stand up

The little crackle if you touched the screen to wipe it...

Omg no one's even talking about the smell of the screen

This is both horrifying to read and nostalgic

I liked to turn the back of my hand to the screen, right after it was turned off, and pet the static with the little hairs on the backs of my fingers. It felt soft and fluffy.

one of the reasons CRTs are such a hotbed of glitch videography is that unlike modern monitors that block irregular signals, CRTs don't have an opinion about the signal you feed into them. they will display anything. and if you've ever done glitch work with a video modulator or such, you know what it's like negotiating with a living beast. the images you can get are often unpredictable and impossible to reproduce even with the same settings on your hardware, because it's just electricity. there is something magical and strange about the cathode ray tube and when you play with them enough you really remember why The Ring fucked people up so bad. samara climbing out of an HD flat screen is a laughable image; but her climbing out of an old school boob tube? yeah man, i believe it. there's fucking demons in that thing

hello august you piece of shit

goodbye august you piece of shit

God the 11 year old girls you put on this earth to climb trees and play with plastic animals are buying foundation at the drug store

i literally love that seasons one and two are about two brothers getting reacquainted and getting to know each other as people for maybe the first time. but also dean knows exactly which alias sam would use with a random phone company and sam doesn’t know dean is afraid of flying
