the POINT of Harold and the Purple Crayon and whole ALLURE of it is the dream-like quality of a young boy making things with his crayon and the little adventures he goes on. It's timeless and sparks the imagination.

Giving the crayon to a grown man in what is undeniably a modern setting takes away all of the charm

woke up early and took a bath, got my nails done and took a walk around the lake soaking in the sun but i still feel horrible 😔

anyone else ever have that thing where you'd actively downplay unhealthy attitudes to casual friends/acquaintances bc you dont wanna be too "heavy" with people you arent very close with but then it backfires bc those people think you genuinely dont take any of it seriously and distance themselves from you because they think youre a mess with no self awareness?

remembering the time i tried to write a short story set in a conversion therapy camp so i was doing a lot of research and reading shit written by "doctors" doing conversion therapy and read shit like "oh gayness always has a psychological root. many gay people were assaulted as children and that's why theyre gay now :)" and ever since then I have this intrusive thought that's like oh :) the reason im gay and trans is bc my first abuser was a girl that made me pretend to be a boy when she hurt me :) it all makes sense now :) and i have to kill myself

I try not to whine about having a garlic intolerance too much bc it's like. Girl people are literally dying but AUGH I HATE HAVING A GARLIC INTOLERANCE

I keep accidentally eating it and because it's in fucking EVERYTHING and it can ruin like the next 10 hours of my life. And I miss pizza 🥺 and I feel like a stupid asshole whenever I bring it up bc it's not like I'm deathly allergic to it so maybe everyone thinks I'm just desperate for attention

regarding, cannibalism: have you ever read tender is the flesh?

very very very interesting piece of cannibalistic literature

yes, actually! i read tender is the flesh almost exactly one year ago, so it's not exactly fresh in my brain, but from what i remember i...was not crazy about it lol.

maybe i had just seen too many people raving about how groundbreaking it was before i read it and i went in with somewhat unrealistic expectations, but i think a lot of the social commentary fell a little flat for me. like, i think the concept was interesting, and i definitely think the book brings up a lot of interesting points to think + talk about, but i almost felt like it was biting off more than it could chew (ha ha). like, from what i remember, there were a lot of really interesting issues brought up throughout relating to sexism, classism, etc, that would be touched on without actually delving deeper. i think i went into it expecting like a really poignant and incisive social commentary that was gonna challenge me to think really deeply, and instead it sort of felt like an overview of a broad swathe of blatant social issues taken and put into this setting where the dial is just turned up, if that makes sense? sort of reminiscent of naomi alderman's the power, which i remember people raving about as really deep and feminist back when it was having its moment, but essentially the book is just taking misogyny and inverting it and going "imagine if that happened! isn't misogyny bad?" like, i sort of felt like tender is the flesh was just taking a lot of social issues and going "imagine if this was worse!"

idk, maybe i'm not giving it enough credit and maybe i'd feel differently if i re-read it. like i said, i didn't think it was bad, i was probably just mostly disappointed bc i'd seen it hyped up so much before i read it, which isn't the book's fault.

one thing i will say is that i really, really liked the ending and honeslty that sort of like...brought the book back for me lol. like i was sort of rolling my eyes by the end going "why are so many people acting like this is so groundbreaking? is part of it just the shock value of the graphic gore?", but then i got to the end and i felt like i'd been sucker-punched and i was like oh. ok....yeah. definitely some stuff to think about here. so!

those are my thoughts on tender is the flesh for u

I truly don’t understand how people are just…normal about driving. Like. You are in control of a metal death machine, responsible for its movement as if it is an extension of yourself, but you just have to like know how far out from your own body it extends. You’re going 60 mph along with everyone else, they can’t be trusted to be any good at what they’re doing so you have to monitor and be aware of their movements. You’re having to pay attention to 360 degrees around you at all times via multiple mirrors while navigating other drivers, pedestrians, fucking BIKES, the road, know where you’re going and how to get there and turn at the right time and change lanes all while following a complex set of rules and not killing anyone or dying. Just…excuse me? You all just…do this? Every day ??? I feel like you’re all lying to me honestly. Like cool invention you got there but what the FUCK
