It's important to note that Chekhov's Gun was not originally about foreshadowing, but a piece of advice to playwrights about how every element in a play should have narrative relevance.

the thing is i KNOW sex is a performance for ilya specifically because he’s making those stupidass porn faces, which one would assume like many tween boys is where he learned sexual norms in the first place, okay so this is what i am supposed to do, this is what people want from me. it’s actually a little crazy because at least for the first however many years he and shane are opposites in their sexual experience in that for shane it’s the one place in his life where he isn’t performing and he can fully embody himself, and then for ilya it’s the place where he performs the hardest to earn intimacy and connection.

And the doctor and I unconsciously exchanged a Look because it was in fact uhhh 2024 😐 and dad saw that and so when the next doctor did the test a few hours later he said "uhhhh...nineteen...nintetyyyy.......seven...???" and I was like okay, well, that IS closer, you do have to give him that

#he still knew immediately who I was which was deeply funny to me bc I was 7-8 years old in 1997 #"yes that is my daughter who was apparently born in her 20s"

[*sees an enjoyable post*] haha this post is enjoyable [*remembers a post by the same OP that was genuinely the dumbest thing ive ever read*] i mean its okay i guess

the fact that people are in the odyssey tags criticising the nolan movie for its changes to the original myth (valid) only to then turn around and recommend epic: the musical of all things as a “more accurate” alternative is hysterical like please. let’s be serious now

like shane hollander loooooooves a face-eating leopard and surely the fact that the face-eating leopards have now surrounded him in a circle means they are about to accept him as one of their own
