#I am not hating Boston

[kennyomegasweave]

Nick's going to destroy Boston. I don't know if it's going to be intentional or not, but he's going to ruin him and I can't wait.

Boston likes Nick, he likes having sex with Nick, and he thinks Nick's safe. Those are all facts, as far as I'm concerned.

Boston's been sleeping around the whole time him and Nick have been hooking up. There's no reason to have kept Nick around if he didn't actually like to be around him. I think his hookup recording and blackmailing him scared him. His dad's a politician, and even if he's gay friendly, that would be a really bad thing to come out. So I do believe he does just wanna keep it to Nick for a bit because he likes hanging around him, likes the sex, and doesn't think he would do something like that. Everyone thinks Nick's an innocent sweet little guy, whose worst trait is banging Boston, and who would never do anything bad, Boston included.

Which is why Nick's audio is going to wreck him. Not only is he rightfully gonna lose his friends, but he actually seemed to be having Baby's First Real Emotional Growth over Nick and he's gonna get burned badly by that.

I'm excited to see how low he's gonna go once the audio comes out because we saw with the crossfaded fight that he turns into a wounded animal lashing out at everyone when he's hurt. And, when all is said and done, I think Nick, of all people, secretly recording him is gonna hurt him even worse than Top not wanting him.

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

One of my toxic podcast traits is that I will not listen to crossover episode unless I listened to all podcasts involved in it

when Jerry brought Alan a painting, I was certain that no matter what the painting was Alan would hate it. luckily, Alan is the only character that I believe would wholeheartedly love a painting of himself as Mona Lisa.

principal difference between hellblazer/nbc constantine and 2005 keanu constantine imo, besides keanu constantine being american, is their attitudes toward food.

hellblazer/nbc constantine: pub food and hearty shit, meat and potatoes and stews and fish. appreciates a good meal, the effort/time it takes to cook it, and the social rituals that revolve around it. also has a taste for the finer things in life and will scam his way into high-end restaurants to fuck around and embarrass everyone there while eating goooood keanu constantine: runs on dunkin, lox bagels, and not much else. cannot keep things in his fridge or they will rot before he remembers to eat them. obliterates a mcdonalds hash brown in a single bite

Listen, Narrator and Leon's relationship is SO compelling they're SO GOOD at enemies they work SO WELL on opposite to each other, I love that Narrator now truly has to work around Leon because Leon KEEPS CHALLENGING HIM, I love that he sees him as a true nemesis, and I still think if they had lips they should kiss. just a little.

I vaguely hope for Nica to actually be released but even if they don't win the trial for her, they've already got a big victory right there and i'm so PLEASED, Leon is so BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING AND THE PERFECT CHARACTER

husbeast told me today that when we started having money problems, all but one of his friends just vanished. and when i say that i would vaporize them all in an instant if i could, i’m not fucking kidding.

if your friends being poor is that much of a fucking problem, do everyone a good turn and cave your fucking asshole insensitive bitch ass head in with a hammer, k? k.

Ive found your blog a few months ago and during that time you were on more conferences than I have ever been in my life time or even my boss (an important attorney) has been to hahaha :D

LOL honestly this is a super fair observation! i actually started the job i'm in now in january 2020, was in the middle of setting my conference schedule when the pandemic hit, and then was grounded for years. 2023 just became the year of in-person conferences for me!!

2024 is going to be even crazier. i have conferences in vegas, montreal, and two conferences in the same weekend in boston. i'm planning to attend both conferences at once and just switch badges as i go back and forth. it's going to be wild and very fun.

the good news is that i love conferences, love meeting new people, love talking about my work to people also interested in my work, and my job has gotten way more fun since i've gotten to do this kind of travel. it's also a cool opportunity to travel while making use of an expense account! i've never been to nashville, where i'm going next week, or vegas, and now i get paid to go to those places and expense all the good food i'm going to try! 😊
