୨୧ BUT BEING NORMAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US! ୨୧

carol being the main breadwinner/decision-maker of the family is such an interesting character trait to me because it implies that she just buys her daughters whatever they want? dess couldn't have been older than college aged when she vanished and yet she has dozens of musical instruments, an excess of shoes, hockey sticks, a computer of her own, even weed just laying around. and carol clearly is protective over this stuff too, or at least she is over the guitar. that's not even getting into noelle's room. just colors their relationship in a really fascinating way.

imo you get the most out of engaging with media when you strike a balance between treating characters as people (reading interiority into their actions, considering the effect of various aspects of their identity, etc etc) and as vehicles for storytelling (what narrative purpose do they serve, how do their actions and personality function to convey the themes of the work, etc etc). because of course characters are literary devices but also there’s a reason we use literary devices written to embody realistic people in order to tell stories

"Why would this character be jealous of their friend's romantic relationships? Clearly they're in love with them" I don't know if you guys have ever Had Friends but it's actually pretty common for people to feel jealous if their best friend suddenly has less time for them and is prioritising someone they just met over them. That's not inherently romantic, that's the general human desire to be valued by the people you value.

dude your song just bit me

the same way that becoming obsessed with any media will massively improve your art tenfold, becoming obsessed with any artist and doing everything in your power to replicate their style will too

anyone else notice how when "digital assistants" were just supposed to do specific tasks when you asked for them we had Alexa and Siri and Cortana, but now that they're being marketed as smart enough to take actions and make decisions on their own they've got names like Claude and Devin

My beloved mutuals are turning my 0 note flop posts into 1 note cult classics

no literally when you can’t even blog about it

instead of “this person made good art so they can’t be a bad person” try looking at it like this: “this person made art so they can’t be a good person”
