A beautiful watch 😊

unfortunately supernatural is kind of the perfect show bc there's so much going on that you can talk about and there are Layers to it that are very interesting and enjoyable to discuss but also it's so fucking ridiculous and you can joke about it and if someone gets mad at you for not taking it seriously enough as a show you just say "it's literally the cw's supernatural......."

sorry but when people who only watch streaming shows or things on like HBO and showtime complain about how tv shows have no filler episodes these days Im kind of like that is ur own fault.......

The thing about successful feedback and critique of someone's writing is that it has to take into account the author's goals, right? If the author is trying to tell a horror story there's no point giving them feedback suited to a whodunit. And like. Just speaking hypothetically here. If someone were to call a procedural drama poorly written because it didn't follow the conventions of a character-driven romance. That would be pretty silly too, right?

I'm fascinated by the ways in which the things a creator is good at making don't necessarily line up with the kind of art that they respect or even enjoy.

This has haunted me ever since I saw a Youtube video about the downfall of The Band Perry, a country band that I had liked until their music got weird and they kind of fell off the face of the earth. Well, it turns out that they tried to reinvent their image and their style of music several times before the band finally fell apart. When they started, they had this weird Southern Gothic homeschooler style that really worked for them and was reasonably popular, but then they tried to switch to a cooler type of pop music--a style they supposedly admired and enjoyed--and it just did not work at all. They failed because they chased what they wanted to make instead of sticking with the style that they were good at.

It's a tension that's present in all creative work. At one point does "going outside the box" go too far? Can one be happy making good work even if it's not the kind of stuff they like or admire? Are the techniques and styles that are most appealing to us appealing because they're things that we can't create ourselves? As in, our minds don't work that way, so seeing these things from other creators is exciting, but the fact that our minds don't work that way is exactly why we can't imitate those things. Where's the line between creative integrity--pushing yourself to make better things--and pride--wanting to make something more prestigious and impressive instead of humbly making the type of art you're best suited to make? Can one even clearly see what they're best at making, and appreciate the good that's there rather than chasing after styles and techniques that seem better? There are no solid answers, which is why I'm going to be endlessly thinking about this.

If you like

+ messy, shifting power dynamics

+ age differences

+ workplace relationships

+ complicated feelings repressed due to personal shame

+ toxic codependency

+ messy but powerful tomboys

+ displays of attraction to women based in personality, character, substance, and context rather than looks or gender performance

+ will they won't they

+ shitty narcissists enabling one another

+ deeply traumatized pairs who are only understood by each other

Mythic Quest has a weird dynamic on offer for you

okay so the bad thing about watching a good show (the pitt) is that it highlights the mediocrity of other television in the same sphere (unnamed, to protect my inbox, but take a wild fucking guess) and now i'm not interested in like 90% of the shit i'm seeing on my dash. like no, don't raise my standards! now i expect more than the bare minimum from my media!

[babridai]

[r-osehips]

love how The Prestige boils down to —

Christian Bale: I’m going to lie to everyone i love, forever, so i can do magic tricks with my brother

Hugh Jackman: I Am Going To Kill Myself 102 Times.

[ikjun]

every episode junmo is like so WHAT if i nearly die for gicheul !!! it’s for the job !!! my brother in christ your job is to bring him down not to show him your eternal devotion and readiness for carnage all for his name and sake i think we lost the plot a little but you do whatever and get that body count going for you i am sure the police force you actually work for will be super thrilled to find out you constantly mow down anything in your path to the point of accidental man-slaughter because someone looked at gicheul funnily and you lose your shit when that happens
