unreliable narrator

righttt the blanca-ash relationship is so loaded & scary. many such cases (one form of violence overwriting another.) and this is a true kindness !! even as it is conditional, coercive, and temporary. i debated adding this v. just letting ppl go in blind but ultimately even setting aside my disinvestment in spoiler fears i do think it's worth it to get like a tonal intro to the series, and not big spoiler territory at all. this world is so rich i'm excited to revisit it w everyone ^_^

inde navarrette behind the scenes of obsession!

"I was really obsessed with this Romeo and Juliet ending, actually. We shot both; we shot this ending that you see in the movie, and we shot the ending where she ends it all. We had shot a ton of different versions of the official ending, the one that's in the script, the one that I was excited about, and I was like, Okay, we'll do one ending where Nikki survives, but we'll just do one take of it, and then we'll move on. You see her coming to this realization that she's alive again, and she's looking around the room, and she looks so disturbed, and I just remember my dad and multiple people around me being like, 'Dude, I think it's way more disturbing if she just survives this thing.' I was like, 'Ah, you're right.' And so we switched it." – Curry Barker

Evil of my evil

and what if they were sisters huh what then

this was on one of the Anne Rice writing method reblogs and its so good but i know people will take it the wrong way and i want to post it here to preserve and honor it. because theyre right, her writing IS mid. i really really enjoy her work but she is not particularly good at it. and i think that is the most important aspect of conceptualizing of yourself as a creative producer that is performing non-alienated work: how "good" it turns out to be has nothing to do with 1. how much of it you will sell 2. how much people will enjoy it 3. how MANY people will enjoy it and finally 4. the effort you put into making it. developing skill and taste are DIFFERENT tasks from the actual production. let this inspire you
