me trying to explain how The Nightmare Before Christmas isn't about 'stick to the status quo' or 'be true to yourself' it's about feeling stuck or burnt out in a career you enjoy and no matter how 'you' the career is a change of scenery once in a while is necessary to realign the spark of inspiration it's about expanding your horizons and experiencing new things even if you don't end up excelling it's about the wonders of curiosity and it's benefits but also disadvantages its about PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE

#they don't!! return to the status quo!! there's snow at the end of the movie in halloween town!!#jack and sally resolve their shit!!#characters literally go from point a to b because change is good!!#my post #the nightmare before christmas #another way to interpret it is even the best of us can do horrible things #jack had good intentions but he basically committed cultural appropriation #even if he really really really wanted to understand/respect this fun new holiday tm #personal stuff
