disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

the style of writing is not the problem, not the genre, not the subject matter, not even the words themselves. the SINGLE defining issue with the “Tumblr Prose” style i was trying to tackle is that it’s front loaded with imagery and metaphor and completely lacking in sense, reason, symmetry, motion, conveying information. i agree that plenty of writing can sound good and feel good to read when it’s all metaphor and visceral images but it needs to have a baseline that can carry it through or else the tail wags the dog and it’s all cool “quotable” lines and no substance, nothing to read between the lines, no character

everybody knows the only thing better than a final girl is two final girls. kissing.

one of the reasons I think tv has become a more inferior storytelling medium in the streaming/binge model era is so many of these shows barely strive for our attention anymore, comfortable to meander for several hours without any real plot development until it's time for the finale, "second screen dialogue", some truly inefficient storytelling technique that would've been critically slammed a decade ago as unskilled writing and general wankery, instead of fighting to keep us engaged enough to stick around after the next ad break, let alone the next week. there's no desperation, no respect for our time and dedication anymore, and it offends me

the colonial mythologies that haunt north american identity - the donner party the franklin expedition etc. the fear of a land that is not ours that will eat us alive, that will kill us in the most gruesome way possible.
