Lost

I just loooooove the way this show does narration. Like all of the first two seasons were Louis grappling with his memories and trying to find The Truth™ and you think, in the end, that maybe we finally have it, but the first episode of tvl comes on and Lestat’s like “bullshit bullshit bullshit he didn’t even get the length of my hair right or the fact that i have scars, this didn’t happen, it didn’t happen like this” but like we also all know Lestat will never be a reliable narrator either and memory is messy in the best of circumstances and nothing the show gives us can be fully accepted as The Truth bc it’s all a bunch of fucked up people who have been alive for a very long time offering up their memories that have been tainted with time and emotion and it’s so juicyyyyyy

formative years? aren’t they all?

show me a permanent self and i will show you a facade or a corpse

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

Shakespeare is like this

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

See the thing is, Armand is really pretty normal if you compare him to the average theatre director

the death of dvds is so fucked. what about bonus features

far far away idol would never happen now
