please fall before i fall

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

got a crick in my neck and a frog in my throat and a chip on my shoulder and a stick up my ass and now you're gonna stand there puttin words in my mouth? haven't I been through enough?

The ancient texts were true… They DO have a reaction image for everything…

i DO believe that a good writer can make mischaracterization work. oh there's a character who doesn't normally cry? figure it out!! disect the character. make the situation cryable for them. make that character cry ugly tears even if it goes against their very nature. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!

A great piece of advice I've seen is "Don't fixate about what the character would never do. Think about the circumstances that would drive them to do this, even if they wouldn't normally."

Best advice ever!

sam's "do i have to?" as his first line is so funny to me because some people will cite this as some kind of symbolism for the theme of autonomy issues and being forced to do things against his will (it's a halloween party, dude) but all this line really does reveal to us is that sam is a boring nerd who never goes to parties (he confirms this himself in 1x07) and is also whiney (younger siblingism) and a stubborn taurus (doesn't wanna go to the party! is trying to get his way by dragging his feet abt it) and kinda being a lame partner bc jess clearly wants to go, is all dressed up and excited, and sam can't even put in any effort? or even just, share in her enthusiasm? and his excuse is "not being a big fan" of halloween and that jess "knows" how he feels about it, except she really doesn't. because sam has not told her the truth about anything ever. so he just looks like a stick in the mud for no good reason. boo sammy. could've done the most low effort costume that i've done many years in a row, just get some cat ears, wear all black and draw a nose and whiskers with some eyeliner. done! and it's not even a monster or ghost or ghoul or anything to remind you of your hunting past

hate when im reading and theres a word i dont know so i search it in the dictionary and its like: beuperer. noun. a person who beupers. i'll fucking kill you
