This looks like such a banger black metal cassette demo

i just finished a good girls guide to murder and never have i experienced that much of a whiplash while reading a CRIME book

[pealeii]

reading lord of the flies is like: here are the attractive people that everyone listens to. here are the uglyass bitches that everyone hates.

i read a book that reminded me how small ive made my life 🙄

Silly Game Time: Grab the nearest book and open it to a random page. What's the first complete sentence on it?

I was sitting next to my Manga section to uh this happened

I got threatened by Draken ):

When I scooted to my novel section for another try, it just felt ominous.

just finished reading alice oseman’s book, i was born for this.

no words, as usual

i’m surprised i didn’t cry to this one honestly

the book the doll people has a similar trope but the dolls effectively experience ego death if they get caught so it's understandable that they try to hide it

barnyard the original party animals is the uncontested lord of bad implications in childrens movies

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.

There's a universe where Aziraphale was the one who fell because he thought the suggestions box was a great idea and Lucifer encouraged him doing so... Angel!Crowley, seeing the cherub's fall, decided to never question God (at least not in front of her)
