resist the urge to self-isolate, girl. people want you around. people don't think you're faulty. you're allowed to be wrong and make mistakes and missteps and people won't reject you for it. don't self-isolate. nobody in your life wants you to self-isolate. don't do it.

it’s just so wild and wonderful to me that “woe’s hollow” was filmed on location. like, they scouted out that spot. they found woods and hoped it would snow. that waterfall is real and you can go there. they had to get all that film equipment out to the shooting locations and they had to do it without moving anything because it’s a state park. those creepy icicle hands? the snow falling? the twisted trees in irving’s dream? the fog? that was all real. the fucking - cliff overlooking the lake?! that was REAL. adam scott really yelled down to john turturro from the top of that cliff! that’s so so amazing to me. like in most modern shows they’d have used CGI for the scenery and it would have been absolutely aesthetically perfect, sure. but instead they found a location and really looked at it and played with what was already there and allowed the story to be in conversation with its actual environment and it was just sooooo fruitful. like. do you understand? no one thought of and designed the tree icicles that looked like claws to be perfect visual counterpoint to the creepiness of the story. they just looked around at their actual environment and went “what’s unsettling about this place? what’s suspenseful?” and they took advantage of it, they leveraged it. that is so rare in filmmaking these days, i think, especially in television. and YEAH this season cost like 200 million dollars or something but IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!

hi it's been a year but i wrote chaltan again it's short and sad anyway enjoy

oh the parallels of Robin and Rin only being able to find peace in death, and the silence of it all. After all they did and all that was done to them. Those moments of silence before it all ended. Seeing how Victoire survived and thrived, and the strength of her being able to care out that space for herself —to choose to live. But then seeing how Nezha wasn’t given that choice, to choose life. To even begin to want life. How it was thrust upon him, a weighted legacy inherited. Thinking about Nezha shouldering that burden, slowly standing up, and continuing on.

I love you samosas. I love you empanadas. I love you pasties. I love you dumplings. I love you pirozhkis. I love you savory food in a convenient little carb purse.

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

Heads up that this is a very extensive questionnaire and might be daunting to a lot of writers (myself included). That being said, it is also an amazing questionnaire and I will definitely be using it (or at the very least, some of it).

remember. you can't know things you don't know. you have to find them out. by doing things.

this is a mantra against shame over ignorance btw. like yeah you can and should actively seek out knowledge but you're just still gonna have blind spots and that's okay. you won't know the things you don't know until you know them. you know?
