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

Having made the difficult but compassionate decision to remove their ailing grandfather from life support Friday, members of the Jarrett family were reportedly unaware that in doing so, they were sending the 86-year-old directly to hell. “It was so hard to let him go, but it was the right thing to do—he’s suffered enough,” said the hellbound man’s daughter, Jennifer Austin, oblivious to the knowledge that only seconds after they disconnected his respirator in an attempt to spare him further discomfort, the family patriarch was cast into the blackest pits of the netherworld, where he would suffer unspeakable tortures and burn in perpetual agony for all of time.

The humanity displayed today to Jonathan in the face of the sheer terror that the Count inflicts on the country side was amazing. It's not only the coach who tries to save (or at least delay the arrival to Dracula's pickup point) Jonathan by arriving earlier, it's everyone in the travel. An entire group of people decided to risk their lives for a young english stranger who, in their eyes, is going towards his doom.
One by one several of the passengers offered me gifts, which they pressed upon me with an earnestness which would take no denial; these were certainly of an odd and varied kind, but each was given in simple good faith, with a kindly word, and a blessing, and that strange mixture of fear-meaning movements...
All of the passengers gave Jonathan something that was probably supposed to work against Dracula. Although he doesn't have the context of any of it, and everything was written by Stoker to amplify the very well played dread of what was going to happen if Jonathan made it to the pickup point, it's a detail that shines through the text. The people are both tired and scared of Dracula eating the young, so if they can do the impossible and save this stranger for a day or two then they will try it.
Questioning how the bird could have possibly ended up more than 300 miles from the nearest ocean, sources confirmed Friday that a seagull that was spotted this far inland must be a total fuckup.
Several eyewitnesses, who watched the seagull aimlessly wander around a Target parking lot that was located two whole states away from any coastal habitat that could provide proper food, shelter, and protection to the animal, told reporters the bird was more than likely a complete shit-for-brains and a huge fucking embarrassment to its species.

The way Death in a Different Place is written is INSANE. Let me say, I’m not usually much of a shipper in the traditional sense. My aro butt prefers to view the boys as a woefully codependent but beautiful next level friendship/chosen family situation.
But Death in a Different Place? Bro…every scene reads like Hutch is about to soft launch his own coming out to Starsky. To summarize for those of you who may need a refresher, another (and much older, and married) cop is killed and it quickly becomes apparent he was leading a double life and had ongoing affairs with men.
Starsky struggles with some homophobia, meanwhile Hutch is very quietly accepting about the whole thing. There’s a brief moment in the beginning where he’s surprised and even a little defensive, presumably given the fact the guy was married to a woman for 22 years. He says things like “John being gay doesn’t take away any of the other things he was” and, to Starsky, “if he’d come out to you how would you have felt” with this sense of resignation. It’s like he’s speaking from experience. Yall can tell me if I’m delusional but that’s 100% how it reads to me. Then at the end we have the absolutely iconic scene that’s been screenshot a billion times and also is, and always will be, insane
Hutch: “Starsky, would you consider that a man who spends seventy-five per cent of his time with another man has got certain tendencies?”
Starsky: “Seventy-five – you mean three-quarters?”
Hutch: “Right.”
Starsky: “Yeah. Sure. Why not. You mean that was the case between John and…”
Hutch: “No, no, that’s the case between you and me.”
Starsky: “What?!”
Hutch: “Well, figure it out. In a five-day week, there are about eighty waking hours, right?”
Starsky: “Yeah.”
Hutch: “We work, eat, and drink about twelve of those hours, right? That’s sixty hours a week, seventy-five per cent of the time we spend together and you’re not even a good kisser.”
Starsky: “How do you know that?”
This isn’t even factoring in the significant chunk of off-duty time we know they spend together, so the number’s higher than 75%. But anyway. Why’s Hutch out here gentle-parenting Starsky into accepting they’re basically gay? WHAT the hell was the goal of this dialogue?!
I love how you phrased every scene reads like Hutch is about to soft launch his own coming out to Starsky. I agree, and that's one of the reasons I love Death in a Different Place so much!
There's an academic book called Ethereal queer: Television, Historicity, Desire. It has a lengthy analysis of this episode, and I love this quote:
I want to notice the richness of this episode before anticipating the work of the subsequent chapters of the book, because it provides one of the best examples I have come across of the synchronization of queer and televisual time as a mater of life and death, that is, as a mater of being or becoming queer dispersed across television’s many times. In its exemplarity, it is not, however, unusual in its frank examination of social issues in 1970s prime-time television. What distinguishes it from its companion “gay episodes” may be simply the sheer volume of its gayness: the proliferation of gay characters, sights, sounds, places, and issues seeps into the queerness of the buddy relationship between the two protagonists. By the time the episode is over, everything’s queer.

I just think it would be better for everyone if the people who make adhesive for maxi pads and the people who make adhesive for bookstore price stickers switched jobs
