Still can't believe that one day black sails writers woke up and just thought hey wouldn't it be insane if we changed flint's gold earing to a silver one??

modern musical theatre really has abandoned the art of the random comedic number sung by the manager of a restaurant who will never show up again for the rest of the show and what a shame that it has

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

Please keep making art. Please make it for yourself. Please don’t let everything become even more of the same flat general appeal nonsense that doesn’t seem to have anything to say

by the time rocky and grace arrive on erid they’ve spent 4 years constructing the worlds most unintuitive english-eridian creole language and no one can understand a word of what rocky is saying

could you imagine if it happened this pride month

I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.
