horror is for the girls

Okay, so Forbidden Fruits is obviously very camp, very satirical, quite silly in places, but I genuinely love that this is at its core a story about lonely women. Like, it is so clear that these people are so alone and that’s why they come together so forcefully and with such toxicity. Cherry has lost her entire family. Fig was the weird girl without friends in high school. Apple is so very, very queer and angry, living out of her car. Pumpkin is trying to move through grief. Like, yes, this movie is wild and wacky and a spiritual successor to Jennifer’s Body, American Psycho, The Craft, Mean Girls—but it’s also weirdly one of the most honest depictions of female relationships I’ve seen in a minute. How easy it is to get obsessed with the first people who seem to see you. How easy it is to fall into the gravity of people who will tell you how to be your best self. How those rules will consume your true identity and replace it with conformity. How you can’t really survive that.

my cat is completely obsessed with watching the bathroom sink drain and I have started calling this "her shows." as in when I'm in the bathroom and she meows and runs up I'll be like "oh you want to watch your shows?" and run the faucet for an extra few seconds so it fills a little. she will then sit there at the edge of the sink for ages totally entraptured by the drain. blorbo from her sink

Shane thinks Ilya is the coolest person in the world. Like thats literally Shane's biggest reddest firetruck. And when they are out Ilya loves this. He loves having a built in audience for all his chirps and jokes, he loves that Shane is either laughing or at the very least is hiding his smile. It is such an ego boost that his husband is his biggest fan. That the person who Ilya likes the best clearly and obviously likes him the best back.

my favorite thing about louis is he's a business major in a world of theater kids. everyone's playing psychological games with each other through theater and rock music and the fractured art of storytelling and he's like "but what are the margins on my vampire hotel"
