Gen Z/Alpha is a generation that desperately wants to believe in magic. A few chants in a daily meditation & you’ll be a millionaire, a good photo on Instagram & you’re suddenly scouted to be on the Dior runway, listening to someone whisper words behind loud music & you’ll grow to lose 20Ibs and grow 6ft seemingly overnight. Life really is that easy and you can get everything from nothing.

I take no issue in kids believing in magic for a time, a lot of people in my generation became “witches” & I remember how we made funny memes about being accepted into Hogwarts, but there’s a stage where it crosses into such a strong belief that it affects mental health (I.E:✨Shifting✨). Where they become deeply irate & defensive because someone simply pointed out “That’s not how (X) works IRL” Or where the term “let people do what they want” loses all meaning as they allow alarming activities that bleed into marginalized groups to exist without criticism.

I’m not sure it’s a coping mechanism, a delay from the reality that life isn’t magic and a lot of real effort beyond the bare minimum (in general, money and connections) is required to achieve your dreams, or they simply haven’t realized that yet. Either way, I agree we should leave them to enjoy themselves as the rest of us already know that they’re in for the nastiest awakening once that prefrontal cortex grows in.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

demanding a series in the same vein (heh, vein) as Dexter/Hannibal wherein a prolific serial killer plays cat & mouse with the police--except the serial killer in question is a preteen schoolgirl. this would make for compelling television due to the fact that middle school frequently causes girls to become deranged, and more media should reflect this

No one's coming.

I couldn't help but also think of the secondary anti-capitalist tone under the enabler-culture commentary of the story. How there's no way a company supplying mouthwash that was okay sending 5 people in a ship with 4 non functioning cryo-pods is coming back to save anyone. A company that did announce that it was laying everyone off and shutting down 20 years ago to boot. The cryo-pods were formality and nothing more.

Prompt 249

Danny tilts his head. The masked figure across the roof tilts their head back, a gold similar to Tucker’s eyes shimmering, though he knew it wasn’t him. He lets out a curious chirp, inaudible to the living, and the masked figure stills, as silent as a corpse for several moments before letting out two clicks. 

A greeting in turn. 

Danny smiles, letting green bleed into his eyes and scurrying over with a croon from his core. I’m here, I’m here, their own core clatters like metal against bone as his responds with the drone of a blackhole. I see you, I see you. I’m HereHereHere. 

Yet another twitters in turn, clicking echoing across the city from shadow to shadow until it’s as though the city itself has a heartbeat. Click-click. Click-click. Click-click. I’m here, I’m here, not alone, I’m Here.

isat: explores the concept of found family outside of the expected nuclear family dynamic. goes even further by being explicitly against the idea of a found family always being nuclear, and shows this by having the characters cringe and express discomfort at the idea of being assigned specific roles. wants you to accept its found family being an amorphous blob

isat fans who don't understand themes outside of fandomized incorrect quote blogs: okay but what if odile was the mom friend and the rest of the group are her kids
