FRIDAY NIGHT AT FREDDY’S (2023)

I watched The Shape of Water for the first time last night. And while, yeah, fish fucker movie, I'm currently sitting here drawing the fish man himself while listening to romantic music and it has me so deep in thought about the purity of unabashed acceptance. That movie is so perfect and fills you with such an intense longing because imagine being loved so wholeheartedly by someone who has no concept of the broken things about you as broken. They are not things you are missing. They are simply you. Someone who doesn't love you despite how different you are, someone who just loves you purely for everything you bring to the relationship and couldn't care less what you "don't have" or who you aren't. They just love this person in front of them for the kindness they have been shown. The beautiful soul who has reached out to them. And I just... have a lot of emotions rn...

‘African Mother and Child’ 1956   by Helene Urszenyi de Breznay

No, it’s actually rather breathtaking that when making his little ghost show, Ryan Bergara decided to center it around two opposing viewpoints, purposefully seeking out someone who was going to disagree and challenge him, actually incorporating a skeptic instead of throwing a bone in their direction occasionally. Like, that is so rare in conspiracy and paranormal spaces: it’s nearly always an echo chamber of believers who get huffy when skeptics pipe up and disagree with them. It’s still nearly unheard of for ghost hunting shows to engage with non-believers. And here you have Ryan not only going bat to bat with his co-host but also engaging with fans, answering questions, considering different points of views, conceding when there’s alternate evidence or ghosts doesn’t seem like the most likely explanation. Shane gets a lot of credit for being a breathe of fresh air in the genre but I gotta give it to Mr. Bergara: there is nobody quite like him on the scene either.
