I LOVE RIN MATSUOKA!!!

my safe clothing items that I wear day in day out for years and years should never break or rip or wear down. the power of friendship should stop that kind of thing

something so poetic about the fact that all of matt johnsons work is about him being terrified that his best friend will become popular and leave him behind, when in real life this very work resulted in him becoming the popular one after the dirties, and instead of being happy about this success he called it the worst period of his life and hes done everything in his power to not leave anyone behind since

he gives the knife back to jay in the show and the movie by letting him leave over and over. "i know i hurt you that time, but look you can hurt me. you can still hurt me"

honestly something I think about often is how difficult it is to move a piano. how it's a specialty item, it's incredibly heavy, it has an awkward center of gravity, it's dangerous to lift up and down flights of stairs, it's easily damaged. I think about how you have to really plan a specific space for it, when you're looking for places to live you have to account for it explicitly in the floorplan. how it's not ever going to be easy to just get up and leave if you have a piano that has to come with you. It might even keep you places that you don't necessarily want to be because you can't think of a way to feasibly move it if you can't afford to pay someone and you don't know very many people. I also think about how lovely it looks in whatever room it's in, how it's always a conversation piece, how it immediately elevates the living space. i think about how it collects dust and sheet music and trinkets. how it's a near permanent fixture. how well you have to maintain it if you want it to keep playing right for you. just thinking about this for no reason

trying to explain to normal people that Tony(2026) actually has nothing to do with anthony bourdain and everything to do with jay mccarrol

you gotta read, you gotta write, you gotta draw, you gotta watch films and shows. there is literally NO time to be employed

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

You never know what color pallette someone's Tumblr is till ppl are screenshotting posts and tags

Oh wow.

Some people on tumblr are reading ancient scrolls and you'd never know

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

when in doubt about whether or not to make a thing, do it for your 3 hardcore fans.

nothing is too niche. even if it's 1 person. even if the 1 person is you. just create. make it exist.
