Yarts of Farts

"He should have just called it the Lewis comic" I can just hear them talk now...

You know what people say about car crashes? Well Beau Is Afraid is like that, but it's happening in extremely slow motion so you get to see every gory detail down to the victim's last fart. Categorizing this movie as a moral bad or good is completely beyond me.

Some people mistake darkness for deepness, so when they try to interpret the themes of a story they instead bulldoze them in favor of projecting the edgy fan fic they made up in their mind where everyone is being tortured or torturing some one else at all times onto the "text". I don't claim to be the master of analysis but I do know it requires you to break out of "theory brain" a bit. As in, "she killed him and replaced him with a clone". There is nothing wrong with enjoying dark themes, but learn to distinguish your headcanon from the text, darkness for deepness, and your desires from the author's intent.

I read a post that said the problem with a lot of writers on here is that they approach writing oc-first instead of plot-first and I think this may be my problem. I would be lying if I said it stung, like, I'm relieved. No it makes so much sense.

I'm watching Beau Is Afraid and my conclusion thus far is that we need a new genre for anxiety. Horror produces anxiety too but this is a different kind of thing.

I thought "Nausicaa is so pretty, I wish there was an entire series based on it" and then what do you know. Five volumes of manga. We eat good tonight
