ryan murphy’s horror is like “everyone’s evil but they have their reasons for it” and mike flanagan’s horror is like “no one’s inherently evil. we’re all just trying to do our best everyday and a lot of times there’s no one to applaud us for it but we have to keep going just because”

Took 35 years but Terry ate those words.

When a story goes yes life and the universe is fundimentally chaotic, uncaring, and meaningless in nature... but have you considered love? And hope? THAT'S when it gets me

no because when everything everywhere all at once said “‘alone I’m useless’ ‘everyone’s useless alone. good thing we’re not alone.’” and “in another life, i would have loved to have just done laundry and taxes with you” and “you think i am naive. i’ve been alive just as many years as you. this [love] is how i fight” and “of all the places i could be, I just want to be here with you” and-

everything everywhere all at once is about intergenerational trauma. about depression and passive suicidality and the gravitational appeal of nothingness. about aging, getting older in your twenties and getting older in your fifties. about the specific hurt mothers can cause their daughters and daughters their mothers. about the harsh reality of the immigrant experience and the american dream. but it’s mostly about kindness and family and it’s about choosing to sit at home talking about taxes with someone who loves you, and it’s about telling your daughter that you’d choose her over the entire universe, and it’s about how even in the universes where life didn’t form, love can still exist. and it’s really all of that at once.

"nothing matters so do what you love and be kind" is the single most viscerally impactful message i have ever gleaned from consuming media and i'm going to live every day with that kind of hopepunk nihilism for the rest of my life

That lip movement, soft mouth puppets are so wonderful.

sorry you can’t tell me that a man who looks at a revolving door and goes “yeah it’s like a waltz” is neurotypical
