Oh thank goodness, there's some backstory to this at last.

I just added it to my wishlist, and it made me think of one of my favorite books and movies: 84 Charing Cross Road.

The movie stars Anne Bancroft and Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dame Judi Dench (although Dame Judi isn't in the movie very much).

The book is very good; the movie, though. The movie is heartwrenchingly beautiful, in my opinion. Like Shadowlands, another Sir Anthony Hopkins classic, it's...it's a FILM, not just a MOVIE. And yes, there is a difference, at least to me.

(Holy shit my tags got out of control.)

Another day, another delightful Neil Gaiman story.

----------------

EDIT: Where are my manners. The book in question is Once Upon A Tome: The Misadventures of a Rare Bookseller

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

#i saw the tv glow #I saw the tv glow spoilers #it is SUCH a queer story #the disassociation. the hiding in fiction to feel alive.#the horror of watching time tick by and knowing you’re not who you’re meant to be #the unique paralysis of staying put in hell because it’s safer than what might be over the horizon #the tragedy of trying to help someone who isn’t ready to be helped #god it’s so much. god. rarely do I walk out of a film and just stare soundlessly into space #anyway. please see this movie. although I sort of hope if you’re reading this post it’s cuz you already have #eta: I used he because the main character never quite vocalizes another pronoun #but this is SUCH a trans story. suuuuch a trans story. it is not even a little subtle #it’s so good and so so painful

The WALL-E au no one asked for

#i can't even watch an animated film without finding a way to shove those stupid homo pilots in it #anyways i was thinking for this au it follows the same premise/story as wall-e where the human race has left earth due to uninhabitable #conditions but instead of robots it's select groups of people chosen to stay behind to “clean up”#by clean up i mean they're actually being left for dead because the ones being left have rendered lawless by upper command #or troublesome/rebellious etc etc #but the groups they're able to live for a few generations with the resources and stuff they have. hence mav #mav is out scouting or doing whatever solo when the ship lands and out comes one (1) iceman kazansky #looking for some sort of proof of life (those among the space vessel assuming everyone/everything has perished by this point)#shenanigans ensue #they fall in love and bring the ship back to earth yadda yadda #idk it's too late to form coherent sentences #hope you enjoy my silly word vomit #top gun #top gun au #tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #icemav #wall-e! au #top gun art #top gun fanart #frozen's art tag #tw blood #< just in case

I need Käärijä to stop catching strays in all this.

dude had his win absolutely robbed last year, stood up for Baby Lasagna only to get bodyshamed by the guy later, was put in an interval act that was basically all about Sweden gloating about how he got screwed over, and then people acting like him being amicable and friendly to the wrong person is equal to him dropping a nuke on Palestine all by himself.

give Jere from Vantaa a break he's literally just a dude.

#look. I get it. I get it. he shouldn't have been hanging with Eden.#but people act as if they approached him and went ''do you wanna film a clip to promote genocide?'' and he went ''fuck yeah''#and not yknow. a man known to be sweet and friendly to everyone being approached by another human and acting like he always does.#yes there are obvious problems with Jere trying to stay non-political in this situation but that is what he was trying to do.#he wasn't enforcing anyone or anything. he was being himself - friendly and sweet to everyone - and secretly filmed and used as ammo.#some of yall acting like he's besties with the Israel delegation as if he didn't get shamelessly used by them.#käärijä #esc 2024 #eurovision 2024

#Taylor Swift #Don’t Blame Me #Reputation #The Eras Tour #Reputation Era #Reputation Stadium Tour #Rep TV #Taylor Nation #Swifties #Miami TS The Eras Tour #Miami Night 1 #Getty images #take us to church mother #when she hits the high note #you look like Taylor Swift in this light we’re loving it #I think I’ve seen this film before #I will never change. But I’ll never stay the same either.#Your on your own kid. Yeah you can face this. Your on your own kid. You always have been.#Say you’ll remember me standing in a nice dress.#I once was poison ivy but now I’m your daisy.#Flashback when you met me.#There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen I had a marvelous time ruining everything.#I can feel the flames on my skin. Crimson red paint on my lips.#So they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say Do you believe me now? I was onto something they all said nothing.#And in the death of her Reputation she felt truly alive.#Who’s afraid of little old me? You should be.#I said remember this moment in the back of my mind the time we stood with our shaking hands the crowds in stands went wild.#I was screaming long live all the magic we made and bring on all the pretenders I’m not afraid. One day we will be remembered.#I said remember this feeling I passed the pictures around of all the years we stood there on the sidelines wishing for right now.#What if I told you I’m the Mastermind?

one of the kids i tutor is this very quiet, strait-laced football-and-cars 8th grader, and he's a little out of my wheelhouse because most of my experience is with k5 kids but i've been tutoring this kid for about four weeks and he was so reserved and stiff and quiet our first meeting i think all he ever said was 'yes ma'am' the entire lesson. and i know he's only here because his parents signed him up for writing lessons but i am so desperately scheming to get him to have fun and take interest and feel like its worth his time, like bro we gon get you something out of these lessons and get some of your personality and interests to show. but i have to be tricky about it. i had to think of something fun and cool disguised as something practical and useful because he's not going to want to engage with any of the silly things we use to motivate the younger kids. so at the end of our first day i asked him if he wanted to start developing a signature. and that was the first spark of interest i ever saw out of him, just the smallest crumbs of life in his eyes, so i've started teaching him cursive off-the-books and when we worked on writing his name today he was very moderately enthused but for him that's basically the equivalent of jumping up and down and it makes me SO happy to see my evil plan working

#his teacher has the class working on projects about suspense in writing and film so we were workshopping that today #and he wasn't really able to think of things that achieve suspense beyond dialogue and literal writing #so i brought up other basic things like music and lighting but i wanted him to really *get it* and to get it on his own #so i said 'have you ever seen jurassic park'#and he immediately gasped like ':O the water!' like YES BRO u understand. and that was more emotion than i ever thought i'd see out of you #and he didn't call me ma'am ONCE today. we stay winning
