Night Thorn

does anyone else remember being a hapless american child looking at the prices of books on the inside flap and wondering. do we just hate canadians? this book is $8 here and $13 there, that feels..... mean somehow

ending a social interaction with a friend and thinking "I think we grew a little bit closer today." in my head as if I'm a dating game protagonist

its cool that sometimes people try to have one kid and accidentally have two kids. flavorful. more things should work like that. get married and suddenly there's a second wife. pass the interview and end up with two jobs. etc. keep em guessing

“Am I the only one who—” yes. You’re all alone. And nobody shares your experiences or loves you. And you’re floating on a raft in a dark ocean and there’s sharks and squids trying to get you and lightning is crashing and the water is choppy and black

the thing about heavy handed symbolism is that sometimes. it's fun.

you guys would actually date your favourite characters? ngl i always gag a little thinking about that as a concept

Digital de-aging is bad not just because it always looks creepy as fuck no matter how much money they pour into it, but because it deprives me of getting to see the fucking black magic of a) the casting director somehow finding someone who looks unnervingly like the original actor despite not being related at all and b) the actors completely convincing me that they are, in fact, the same person at different times in their life.

Don’t try to universally understand how communion works in Christianity. Don’t do it. Don’t you touch that subject. Put it down. Do you want to create another denomination? Do you- Joshua, Joshua I swear to gosh put that communion subject down. Down. Put it do- and he’s founded another church. Goddamnit
