#I saw the TV Glow

[theabigailthorn]

As a closeted trans person from the US who is clinging to the last scraps of my eggshells for as long as I can, have I waited too long? I desperately want to be me, but I'm not insured, and I'm scared I won't be able to now.

#the movie walks a very thin line between you are killing someone and also trying to get across what it’s not the real you

I love how fully I saw the tv glow leans into the more violent metaphors in transitioning. How you have to kill your past self, how you have to kill the kid you were. How you have to bury them and walk away with bloody hands. And that’s something trans media shys away from because, it isn’t palatable to the cis audience, you also have to appeal to. You have to make sympathize with you. It is difficult to sympathize with a murder.

But that’s why isttg excels in its horror genre. A place where queer people have always been and where blood and gore is commonplace. Where you can stand as bloody as you want and no one bats an eye.

Trans-ness isn’t always pretty or easy or comfortable. It rarely is in my experience. And to see a major movie show that, in all its uncomfortable gross glory is awe inspiring.

It’s never too late, grab a shovel.

i saw the tv glow is such a truly special and beautiful movie, a coming of age film about coming to terms with yourself and navigating through life on the dependency of nostalgia and the effects that can have on you with a horror and fantasy twist. it’s honestly genius. Jane Schoenbrun did an amazing job with this film and i fully understand why it’s so important to so many fans.

i create the most disorienting circumstances in which i watch/play/read something because that's just the IDEAL. MOSTLY FOR HORROR MEDIA!!!!! i'm convinced 90% of horror is meant to be consumed in a dissociative haze

i need every media I like to feel like a fever dream actually. If I don’t watch it/read it/listen to it and go “what the fuck was that” then it’s not my favorite media
