#just put it on tv!!!!

[novelconcepts]

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.

the time jumps in i saw the tv glow make me so fucking insane and i can never let it go. 2 years, 8 years, then 20, each jump taking more and more out of owen as we watch him decay into a painstakingly unvariable excuse of a protagonist. no matter how big of a jump in time, we never really feel like we've missed out on anything at all. the only real change we experience is what monotonous, yet colourfully and visually overstimulating job he's trudging through, all to live the unfulfilling life he feels is the most safe. no known ambitions, no known lasting relationships, even the family he says he loves more than anything feels less like a feat, and more like a giant step back in the journey we know he needs to go on.

3 decades pass in the span of an hour and 40 minutes, a speed that would seem overwhelmingly fast, yet we stay tuned into the comfortability of that perpetual survival. we know what's going on, and we dont need to play catch up if there's nothing to catch up on. yet despite that comfortability of knowing where and when owen's stuck, it is killing us to know that the potential of what he could be and experience goes unacknowledged through the painstaking amount of years. and it's made all that much worse when we're forced to remember that the slow death we're watching is all the more real, both literally and figuratively, to owen.

The idea of poseidon only helping percy because he saw athena not helping annabeth is so funny because it shows how messy the Greek gods are like wdym you have a millennium old beef with your niece and the only reason you saved your kid it's so you can say you're better parent than her???

[randomness-is-my-order]

with how things have been changed in the show, it was percy’s choice to stay behind and fight the echidna so grover and annabeth could be safe. he was ready to give his life for his best friend and the girl he met last saturday. he was, honest to gods, okay with dying on that arch if it meant his friends could live. he is twelve years old. let that just sink in.

My innie lives his own life and, as a result, I get to live mine.

But he only exists because of you. And for all intents and purposes, he is you.

koncass friendship on the brain again. you know how cass started picking up slang from watching tv? i think hanging out with kon should infect her with konisms. consider the konsibilities (kon possibilties):

she hands babs a coffee refill and babs says "thanks cass!" and cass replies, "ain't no thing but a chicken wing, baby!" and babs is just . . .. ... . .okay. okay. sure. alright. sure. this may as well happen. alright .

cass, ominously holding a baseball bat and staring at some henchman, who slowly lowers his gun: "that's right. be afraid. be very afraid." tim, pinching the bridge of his nose over his mask: "kon told you that's a good line, didn't he."

cass, taunting the riddler, who is facedown on the ground: "who's your daddy! who's your daddy! say it! say it! CHUMP!!!" steph: (WHEEZING)

or cass is on a mission with bruce later, and bruce tells her that some guy they're after? he's all hers. and cass, dressed like a certified freak of nature in her scary-ass batgirl costume, nods seriously and says, "hot diggity swag," and then jumps the guy. bruce is left standing in the rafters like Excuse Me ?

many other such cases. you get it.
