The Devil Next Door

A young writer moves to a new neighbourhood, but what she does not know is that her next-door neighbour is a murderer on the loose. A young Canadian writer moves to Oxford, London. She is greeted by her neighbour, a friendly Irishman by the name of Darcy. While Lynne struggles to publish her second novel, she notices strange noises coming from her neighbour's basement.

Love is elusive. I long for it so desperately, I do, but it seems as if it doesn't long for me. I reach for it as it fades from the void between my fingers. And yet, I know that the moment love grasps my tender yet fleeting hand, I would question if love ever truly knew me—a paradox of desire and retreat, forever bound to chase what I cannot hold.

10 years from now, i won’t have a mansion or a house with a pool. i’ll leave that to my sisters. instead, i’ll have a small apartment, so you can hear someone scream from across the place, because that way i’ll feel like i’m not really alone.

10 years from now, when my sister is making it big in a metropolitan city, i won’t be roaming a fancy downtown. instead, i’ll live in a town near the beach where i know everyone’s name, and the old man running the cafe nearby knows my exact order. the waves will be loud enough to give me company all night, and i’ll talk back to them about her. my apartment will be made fuller with an assortment of wine bottles from late night outs now made full with memories and the echoing laughter of people, along with scattered notebooks that are heavy with late night ramblings. 10 years from now, i’ll make it a point to have guests over at least once a week, and to talk to everyone i meet at the bar nearby. i’ll host my friends whenever they travel to my town, offering only the best home cooked food and the finest whiskey, to accompany only the finest conversations. the space will be decorated with frames of all the people i love, and the walls will have less and less empty space as the years go by. and when my sisters come home in tears telling me that they think they’ve failed, i’ll have the comfiest couch ready with hot chocolate from switzerland and bad bollywood movies on tv and i’ll tell them that life isn’t an exam, they can’t fail something that no one knows how to pass at all. in 10 years time, when i have collected a million little postcards from a hundred little places, i will live in a small apartment with my best friend, and it will run on electricity and the way her smile lights up the room when she tells a bad joke.

[dailykafka]

One of the weirdest things that happened to Kafka here is how he was assimilated into femcel bubble.

Repeat after me: Kafka is not #female rage #coquette #female hysteria #whatever it is that tries to define genuine human experiences of an individual as a solely female experiences (and by doing so completely erasing him in the process), thus alienating actual human beings of various backgrounds from each other and preventing true human connection and understanding between them. Kafka is not "for the girlies" he is for whoever feels the heavy burden of life (and isn't that everybody?)

This insistence that deep introspection of the self, feelings of helplessness and despair is somehow universally 'female' not only excludes women who do not relate to these experiences but also those who are not women and do experience them, yet are excluded on the basis of "aestheticized" suffering where one of the main components is that you have to be a woman.

Girls, stop trying to fit Kafka into your voyeuristic 'tortured female' aethetics. Because if the experience of being a woman is what makes it especially unique for you, there are other writers (women writers) who would be a better fit for you (and for your aethetics). But also, know that you aren't the only ones (as women) who feel the despair of this world, do not make this life lonelier than it already is.

There are sadly a few reasons why these double standard exist.

One of them is Medusa, more specificly Ovid's Medusa. For a lot of "feminist" (most of the time they are only in the marketing)/modern retellings it's much more easier to show her as a "sad character, a victom, who's life is a tragedy, and did nothing wrong in her life", if they simply ignore the original myth.

It's "easier" to make the reader, or viewer like Medusa as the main character if the writer, ignors Danae and how if Perseus doas not bring Medusa's head, she will have to marry a man she doas not want to (baicly ignoring a woman's story, in a story that claims to give the women in Greek mythology a "voice"). Similarly writng Andromeda and Perseus's realetionship as bad, unhappy, and abusive will make it easier for the writer to make the reader/viewer to belive that "Seee how bad he is?! He did not just killed our precious little Mary Su- Medusa! He also horrible to his wife!" (agein ignoring why Perseus killed Medusa).

Igrnoring the original myth is also a reason why Persephone and Hades is this popular and romanticised.

A lot of people ignore the context in order to cereat they "pastel aethetic girl x dark aesthetic boy", or the "Younge naive and posibly shy female lead meets the dark mysterious older posible yandere male lead, and the fall in love, but the female lead's overbearing and hobbyless mother is against it!" type stories. And not to mention that things like Lore Olympus playd a big part in populasing it.

So what did we learn? People should start romaniticising Perseus and Andromeda's realetionship.

I’m so fucking mad that there were multiple plays (both Greek and Roman) about Andromeda that expand on her character and her relationship with Perseus and her parents but they’re all lost or fragmented and now ppl can’t view Andromeda as anything more than a damsel in distress with no agency bc they wouldn’t bother to read between the lines with the sources we do have and do their research about her.

Sometimes life should be romanticized.

I hereby challenge you to pick one common part of your life and make it romantic. How would Studio Ghibli look at it? How would Juhea Kim describe it?

It need not be more than a sentence, but make it beautiful. See the beauty in what's in your life.

The Untitled Diary Entry

I often wake up in the middle of the night, 

With a ghost of you just sitting there, 

In front of me, muffled, restless, yet still. 

I often find myself, writing your name and 

Reading it, over and over until that name is 

 Resuscitated to life and call me out. I often 

find myself loving the things you used to,  

eating the things you loved and thinking to 

myself "how different was it when you were 

here? And why is it different now?" I often listen 

to music and catch your name in the melody. I 

question the existence of it, the lack of yours 

and mine, barely. I often wake up to the sound 

of your breathing, your voice, your words, I 

wake up to you. Staring right through me: silent, 

 motionless and dead.

Reality...

[thepucegoose]

it’s fundamentally so funny to me that after a year of not finding anything as good as starsky and hutch to devote all thoughts/time/attention/love/affection to i ended up watching sports night like oh i get it you just want that traumatised adhd bisexual jewish new yorker with a dead close relative whose sudden and traumatic death he erroneously feels responsible for and who’s in love with his best friend the repressed minnesotan who is also in love back and they’ve had ten years as coworkers and best friends in a very intense and codependent partnership in a high pressure work environment and there’s so much repressed sexual tension and internalised homophobia and biphobia to process and work through as well as fraught and difficult relationships to masculinity further perpetuated by their jobs and sexualities and also if they were to be together and discovered they would lose their jobs and entire way of life in a very high profile fall from grace and this adds further tension and heartbreak to their relationship and their relationship is so messed up through this repression that it really has the capacity to fuck them and their relationship and their lives up and there’s big “it’s not gay if...” vibes and also the minnesotan was married to a somewhat cold and unsympathetic wife for a fair portion of these ten years but heaven knows he was in love with his best friend for this lol so who can blame her tbh and god they can be such jerks but their actions are so painfully understandable given the context of their situation and also there’s canonical basis for fics where they’re dads and also where they have complicated and difficult relationships to their own dads and their relationship together is so caught up in their jobs and this is Unhealthy but they can’t imagine not working together and their workplace is like a family with love and support and a very strong father figure boss who takes no shit but loves these boys and there are a lot of good excuses for roadtrips and crappy shared motel rooms and there’s some fun lampshading in the show where they do acknoweldge that their relationship could v easily be seen to be vaguelly gay lol and maybe one of them is deep in the repression and using heterosexual relationships to reaffirm his sense of identity in the face of his feelings for his partner and best friend and he’s earnest and sweet and so So dumb and maybe the other is more conscious of his feelings for the other and has resigned himself to long term pining and trying to distract himself by serially dating women and he struggles with his mental health and burnout and this all culminates in a big fucked up act of self sabotage where he hurts the other as bad as he can in a rash and impulsive but probably forseeable act that represents the undercurrent tensions in their relationship throughout the show and like, maybe they’ve been fucking this whole time but still persuing relationships with women or maybe they’ve always known what was between them but just recognised and understood that they couldn’t risk acting on it and maybe that’s never even said it’s just known and unacknowledged and left as a bittersweet thing that can never be or maybe they once did act on it ( in minnesota) and then agreed that it couldn’t happen again or maybe they know they’re in love but think it’s unrequited or maybe they haven’t even recognised it in themselves yet but like, whatever it is that’s happening it’s fraught and desperate and absolutely heartbreaking like wow okay guess i have a type lol

17th December 2020

Today has been a slow one so far...

I woke to the sun beaming through my curtains, creating a magical glow in my room. This morning I have done seemingly little, but I am currently content. I took time writing Christmas cards to close friends and as I spotted a lack of a winding cue out of the Post Office, sprinted over in nothing but socks to get some stamps, having idiotically left mine in my university dorm. Outside the corner of my eye I noticed the post man collecting the post from the box so ran down the stairs and just about caught him before he drove off! And now I lay on a blanket, basking in the sun that jumps straight into my room, making my eyesight spotted and letting me believe it is more like Spring than it is Winter.
