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.

Is it considered plagiarism if you're copying your own comic?

IMO, people should wear theatrical clothes more. Like, YES, obviously you should come clubbing in a ball gown, that’s freaking awesome. Hamlet shirt with extra lace and billowing sleeves? Perfect. A jacket with coattails and a top hat? We love that. Life would be so much more dramatic and interesting. Let’s prance down the street singing out of tune, in the rain, like we’re in a musical. Fuck yes.

blessing your feed with the bucktommy first kiss scene, minus the background music.

disclaimer: the scene you’re about to watch is so intimate you might feel like you shouldn’t be seeing it. proceed with caution. you're watching at your own risk.

It just occurred to me that Poseidon's "I've been waiting for this moment" line in Get In The Water implies that he's literally been waiting on the shores of Ithaca for several years for Odysseus to return.

Now I can't stop thinking about the potential for several incidents happening over the years where a random Ithacan(?) Would spot horseidon on the beach, do a double-take because "wait, horses can't live on this island" (if I remember correctly), and then when they look again, horse is either straight up gone or staring directly into their soul.

I always imagine Poseidon waiting right there at the shore, sulking over how long it took Odysseus to finally get there.

song number 10 :)

I left my soul exposed

To frail hands who hold

My fate up in the air

And through their fingers fall

The meaning of it all

Down to the floor it goes
