so much of the horror genre is informed by the metaphor of queer/transness as monstrousness. especially emphasizing the amount of horror that depends on the audience's repulsion at seeing a human body changing into a new, other body. I Saw the TV Glow is about the horror of NOT transitioning. the horror of static. the horror of looking into yourself and being terrified of what you see. the horror of seeing who you are and choosing to do nothing about it. the horror of looking away. and by god is it terrifying.

Paul has thought about going over to the east side and apologizing to Darry and his brothers for everything every single day for the past six months. He's never done it though. If he never goes over, he can still pretend like maybe Darry doesn't hate him, maybe he doesn't want to punch him again. He can pretend that Ponyboy doesn't blame him for his best friends dying. Paul wishes things could be the way they used to be, when everyone was still alive and Darry still loved him.

Or

Paul's dad hits him so he goes to Darry for help. There's one thing though, they've been broken up for a year.

Why does “Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call” by the bleachers apply to every situation in my life ever

[willthewise85]

It always kills me when I’m doing a reread and I get to the part where Johnny tells Pony that they’re going to bleach his hair and Pony’s like

“Why are we only bleaching MINE???”

And Johnny’s like “cause my skin is too dark it won’t look good on me 😔”

Boy that is NOT what you should be worried about rn😭
