Can we all just talk about how Luci didn't even really know Mora the Mermaid? He doesn't even interact with her, and when he is in a scene with her, he's just in the background. Mora didn't know who he was either.

Yet, he uses his one chance to get his life back to wish her back instead. Someone who he doesn't even know.

Why?

"Because I love Bean." 💕

He loves her so much that he doesn't have to know anything about Mora except that Bean is in love with her, and all he wants is Bean's happiness.

He gave up everything for that, and continues to do so until his very last scene in the show.

I just... love this guy.

What if a strange being comes up to you and hands you a giant book and gives you a sly smirk. When you start to read it, you realize it's a book about your life. Would you read it till the end?

Fan Theory:

I think Luci is gonna get his happy ending. He's getting pretty close to Satan, and I feel like he's gonna get some upgrades. Sure, little sub level Luci is my favorite (with wings, of course), but if he's not an Uber by the end of the series, I would be surprised.

(I hope he and Bean can keep their bond tho. I love them together.)

I know I have abandoned this brief whisp of a blog where my goal was to write about music that inspires me.  Unfortunately, sometimes life just gets you down a little too much to keep a pet project going.  However, today, through a rather serendipitous series of events I was privileged to experience a screening of the film Spoiler Alert based on Michael Ausiello’s memoir.  The story resonated with me so much that I was inspired to write down all the feelings and thoughts swirling in my head.  I wanted to write these words in the form of a letter to Michael because in my internal character narrative, it felt only right that I tell the author how impactful their work and story is to me – giving flowers while he can still receive them.  Of course, Michael will probably never read it as he trudges through the masses of letters he will undoubtedly receive after word of this movie spreads, but there’s something to be said about just expressing oneself without expectation of reciprocation, right?  Anywaysssss

~~~~

Dear Michael,

I just got home from a screening of Spoiler Alert.  It’s only been a couple hours, but I think it changed my life?  On the train ride home, I was thinking about how it is now in my top three movies of all time, battling the original animated Beauty and the Beast and Diary of a Mad Black Woman – two movies that hit me at pivotal times in my life to transform the way I see the world.  I keep thinking about that TikTok trend in which the creator stands in front of their camera and then points to areas on the screen where text bubbles list things that permanently altered their brain chemistry.  I keep thinking about it because this movie and your story just did that to me!  I saw so much of myself in Jim Parsons’ portrayal of you, and I related to so many of the feelings and conversations and thoughts on display that I felt validated and seen and hopeful that I was worthy of my own love story.  Tldr: the representation matters cliché holds true!

I am so grateful that I happened to take an Instagram break at work at the exact time that Antoni posted about his theater buyout this evening at the Angelika Theaters, and I’m even more grateful that I was able to show up and actually get a ticket on opening night!  (You never know with these NYC crowds.)  I haven’t seen a movie in a theater in some time.  In fact, I rarely watch movies at all these days since I’m in the midst of a career change and won’t allow myself to indulge in any extracurriculars out of guilt that I’m not working hard enough and I’m taking too many risks living outside my means.  But this ticket was free, I had no plans, and did I mention this ticket was free?  Even better, when I raced out of work to the train, I came upon an OMNY turnstile that was still green for GO!  Someone must have accidentally (or maybe serendipitously) double tapped their phone which meant I was able to save $2.75 and get a free ride to the movie!  In hindsight, that was clearly a lucky sign of positive foreshadowing.

Anyway, I just wanted to share some of the random details of the film that stuck out to me in hopes that they validate or encourage the hard work, love, and care you put into this story.  These are in no particular order – just my stream of consciousness as I’m reliving the movie.  [Editor’s Note - Now that I’ve come down a little from the high of the movie, I’m second guessing myself as I’m editing this letter and realizing that having not read the book yet, I’m assuming the screenplay takes words verbatim from your book.  Oh well, I guess I can caveat myself and just say that I hope that the screenplay is mighty close to your memoir.  If some of my notes are not part of your story, please feel free to still receive the positive energy from which they came.]

First, I loved the many moments of brutally honest conversations, followed by a pause for digesting, and then ending in a thank you for sharing moment rather than a judgement-fueled argument I’ve come to expect in observing similar interactions.  To me this signified a maturity in communication that I found quite refreshing.  I’ve thought a lot about how being gay has contributed to a consistent baseline of anxiety in social situations for me.  But there is a silver lining in that my anxiety has made me hyper self-aware and forced me to mature emotionally more than my peers.  Idk, I’m definitely not equipped to get clinical about the psychology of emotional intelligence, but I just thought that was cool to see. 

Second, I saw myself in so many of your moments of apprehension and was inspired by your conviction in conquering those fears.  I am the one who doesn’t dance, who keeps all their clothes on in every situation, and who refuses to allow anyone visit their apartment.  To see you have those similar feelings and then eventually conquer them gave me a bit of hope that I will someday conquer them too! 

Third, I found the moments of silence and stillness depicted in your relationship to be so beautiful.  The pauses during the first visit to Kit’s apartment as you both were processing what was happening, the burrito shop crying scene, moving from the couch to the bed to lay together, and the first pot experience followed by a gentle intertwining of each other’s fingers – these moments and so many more felt so connected even without words and I really appreciated that.  Maybe those moments were created by the director or a result of the phenomenal performances by Jim and Ben, but I wholeheartedly believe they channeled you and Kit.  And regardless, they were impactful and stunning!

Fourth, the line about being afraid to tell Kit he looked good in khakis because you thought he might leave you made complete sense to me.  I’m slowly unpacking how I live a very fear-based existence, and these words made my heart break not only for you but also for me by exposing my own insecurities.  It was actually that line in the trailer that made me really want to see the movie.  I honestly don’t even think I would have the clarity to realize something like that on my own, but the instant I heard it, I knew that train of thought fit comfortably in the landscape of my mind. 

Fifth, not just a here for the love story, that scene at work where you voice your interest in a Gilmore Girls piece only to be shot down resonated with me as well!  Even beyond just the workplace, I feel like I so often need to adjust my expression of interests and passions to fit into the current environment.  It’s like a survival mechanism or something.  Only recently in therapy have I been realizing and understanding the toll that has taken on me and the tragedy of my resulting lack of sense of self. 

Sixth, the childlike idea and tradition of lying under a Christmas tree and growing old with a partner – that’s mine too!  Well not exactly, but I have had similar daydreams about finding a partner, moving into a cozy home with cute Christmas decor, and then just lying on the floor, starfished on the carpet, heads next to each other, staring at the ceiling, just being together.  I’m sorry that dream of growing old didn’t come true for you with Kit, and it makes me sad to think it might not happen for me either.  But for now, I am reveling in the hope of our shared dream. 

Seventh, I was tickled with those sitcom scenes.  I did not grow up with that specific image for myself, but I did on multiple occasions make decisions based on how I thought it would play out on my future E! True Hollywood Story!  What was I thinking!  Was it naïve?  Or have I just not reached that pivotal breakout moment yet lol.  We shall see.

And finally, eighth (phew!), that deathbed speech/eulogy . . . (in a Trixie voice) honeyyyyyyy.  I was keeping it together and delicately wiping single tears throughout the second half of the movie, but when you crawled into that bed.  Dear me, I was uncontrollably ugly cry-sobbing during that scene.  I don’t know why, but something about a devastatingly sad song, movie scene, or story, just resets me, grounds me, and makes me feel alive.  I don’t know how you were able to even deliver a speech like that, but it was beautiful, powerful, and idk just . . . thank you for sharing it.

So now I’m crying again just thinking about that scene.  Why am I such a mess?  Anyway, moving on.  I first saw the trailer for the film because I follow Jim Parsons.  Seeing a gay love story that spoke to my sad boy, self-deprecating personality immediately intrigued me.  When I learned that it was based on your book, I went out and got a library card and put a hold on the title.  Even though I’m not a big reader, I was excited that even if I never got to see the movie, I could still read your story.  I guess lots of other people had the same idea because weeks later all the copies are still checked out and I have yet to get my hands on the book!  I tell this tidbit to you only because I loved the movie so much that I’m putting the book on my Christmas list, and if nobody gets it for me, I’m just going to splurge and buy the book myself! 

Another tidbit I wanted to share was that recently I had some small talk conversation or watched something on YouTube that reminded me of this phrase I had been obsessed with years ago from this random movie, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton.  Paraphrasing: Kathryn Hahn’s character tells Topher Grace’s character about love, big love, and great love, and great love is the one that changes your life.  I have spent a lot of time thinking about this idea of finding a great love because I believe a great love can power you through anything.  Over the years, I’m afraid my cynicism has told my inner Disney kid dreaming of a fairy tale ending that I am over-romanticizing great love and that it doesn’t happen in real life.  I’m told, “relationships aren’t like the movies”, and I feel like many people will praise (rightfully so) the messy realness of the struggles, the therapy, (the Sebastian) depicted in this film.  However, during your eulogy, you alluded to the great love between you and Kit, and I just can’t tell you how much that healed a little bit of my inner child.  Of course, I understand that real world relationships aren’t always rainbows, but this film and your story renewed my hope that in spite of those obstacles, a great love story can still flourish and still be worthwhile!

Alas, it’s late into the night and I’ve rambled long enough.  If you’ve read this far, I just wanted to again say thank you thank you thank you!  Thank you for sharing your story – the courage and effort to tell such a personal story like this is not lost on me.  I appreciate you profusely.  I can’t wait to watch the movie again, and I can’t wait to read your book!  I wish you all the best, and I hope your dreams come true, whatever they may be!

Sincerely,

David

Just feast your eyes on the REAL cover of Secret Submission by Golden Angel Romances and see for yourself who's been waiting to worship at Mistress Julie's feet... Universal: 

Dear Mistress Julie,

I want to apologize for any fright or distress I might have inadvertently caused you. I don’t think I have, but just in case. I didn’t mean to worry you when I sent the gift to your house.

If you’d like to know who I am, I am willing to meet.

I haven’t revealed myself before because I’ve been unsure of what you would think. Of what everyone would think. But I’m tired of hiding.

I’ll be at Marquis next Friday in a booth by myself. I’ll have a bouquet of roses for you. If you would be open to joining me, I would love to try serving you for the evening. If not, I understand. I hope, at the very least, that I’ve given you some pleasure over the past year.

Yours, ever in admiration, Your secret admirer.
