hi baddies guess who has the worst case of tonsillitis ever

tag drawp finally

Everyone rw donnie darko for me.

　　　　@covnant—————　 T he camel light is the perfect cigarette. he takes in a thin, small inhale of it, and the taste rolls off his tongue ———— a beautiful, tiny, senseless toke that gives him a short release; pale face pulls downward before he starts to speak. ❛❛　　here,　　❜❜ and donnie flimsily passes the cigarette to ryan. the fence is uncomfortable but it's the only safe place he can really smoke in their small town, so brows furrow, with the sun screaming at his face. no use to complain, he thinks. the pair have done so all day. donnie's parents would probably have something to say about his tardiness as dinner nears readiness, though they sit absolutely thoughtless at the edge of an empty field. it's nice to be able to leave the house without the overwhelming notion of deadlines and college over his head. a day he definitely needed, with company more than welcomed. another thought strikes up after their seventh shared cigarette of the day. ❛❛ i think my little sister is going to a dance competition out of state next week, i'm not sure if we can do this again til after. ❜❜

I love this film so much bc it's more than some cringey (set in the)80s experimentalist scifi movie. at the core the story is about love and hope and acceptance. about realisation. About trying to understand yourself. Donnie spends his teenagehood acting out because he wants to challenge the ideals of the small, rich conservative town he lives in. He doesn't believe in accepting information passively especially not through cunts like jim cunningham who he can see straight through. he questions everything and he knows that that is why he is shunned by his school and why he has this thick layer between how he acts and who he is. he literally can't ignore anything, he overanalyses everything in his head and it comes out in the worst ways. every time he speaks he gets shut down because he can't accept things how they are. donnie is smart and he understands things but he must question them no matter how explicitly they are stated. as cringey as it is to say it's so difficult for anyone to break down the walls to try and understand him, and equally as hard for him to break them down himself for someone else.
