#so fucking brave

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.

It's insanely sad to read post after post of gentiles talking about how at least we all have each other and all we can do now is draw strength from our queer and leftist communities bc Jews literally cannot do this. Like you all completely and so utterly turned your backs on Jews this year and we have no one. Except other Jews. Who make up 2% of the American population. It's so great for you all that you can hold hands and sing Kumbaya but you made supporting Hamas and retweeting twitter funny men with literal terrorist hate symbols in their usernames normal. So no some of us cannot draw strength from the queer and leftist communities. Some of us just have to sit here and take it as you all reassure each other that none of this is your fault even though it so obviously is.

One detail that I haven't seen people talking about in regards to the new Neil Gaiman article is the fact that he was actively raping a gay woman while filming Good Omens season 2, you know the season with the lesbian story arc! I can't stop thinking about it, as a lesbian myself, I'm speechless: the cognitive dissonance, the hypocrisy, the virtue signaling, what a disgusting piece of shit

Obsessed with Simon sacrificing his life every chance he gets to save Markus but when it's Markus risking his life to save him Simon tells him every fucking time he shouldn't have done that

Something so sinister and harrowing to me about the only black man in F1 bearing the weight of activism and morality for the entirety of the sport. that when it becomes institutionally acceptable to call for a fucking ceasefire F1 will point to Lewis and parade his bravery as though it was a joint enterprise and say "WE did that months ago".

The indignity about the way he gets maligned then co-opted is more harrowing to me than the overt shit they do to him somehow.

an important aspect of The Murderbot Diaries that would be Constantly remarked-upon if it were being told by anyone other than Murderbot, who wants less than zero knowledge of this fact, is that Ratthi Fucks.

I don't think we realise in just how much danger Aziraphale is in right now.

Crowley didn't tell him what they planned to do to Gabriel... That they planned to completely erase his identity and use him as workforce after. He has no idea that Heaven could and would do that.

Gabriel was the Supreme Archangel of Heaven, Aziraphale is a traitor, the Metatron is NOT his friend. That bitch came down from Heaven himself to split these two apart and whatever he plans to do with Aziraphale in Heaven is probably not far from what he did to Gabriel, if not worse.

He is now surrounded by people who despise him and want him dead. And he's utterly and completely alone...
