You Should Be Able To Call Into Work If You Get A Story Idea. Like I’m Really Sorry I Can’t Come

THE ROAD WITHIN (2014) dir. Gren Wells

The blood of a poet, (dir. Jean Cocteau)

My bf has been telling me the recent discourse that has been surrounding Kevin Day on this god awful social media platform (I live in peace and harmony where everyone I interact with/follow likes him so I’m having a great time)

BUT WITH THAT HERE IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY

stop reading solely from Neil’s perspective, or if you are going to, at least acknowledge that he is unreliable.

We as readers know that we cannot trust any opinion that comes out of that kids mouth and this is proven multiple times not only by him straight up lying but by the way he interacts with the world around him and his private thoughts on situations. Why WOULD this deeply traumatized 19 year old runaway have sound characterization of everyone he is around.

Kevin is a character that is rooted fundamentally in his environment, he is a product of that. If you want to make critiques about how that is written, be my guest, you absolutely should, but you should not completely disregard his narrative purposes because of your problematic fav.

He is 21, a college student trying to not only heal from what should have been a career ruining injury but also just the mental hellscape that he abruptly left and abandoned after spending his entire childhood submitting to, and the future it provided. I think it’s okay if he’s a little rude sometimes, he’s human.

They all are, that is the point.

sometimes when you're listening to bob dylan you might find yourself thinking "did that harmonca really need to be that loud" and the answer is yes. it did need to be that loud. could have been louder to be honest

pietà

you're laughing. The umbrella academy's final season destroyed every character's personal growth and semi-healed traumas, left huge plot-holes, completely abandoned some of it's most beloved side characters that were crucial in previous seasons and you're laugh-oh. You're crying. My bad. Go ahead. Let it out. Understandable.

I think of this all the time

Especially when Gansey gets all in his head with the fact everyone else feels like they’re so far past him, and how he always feels he is somehow going to be left behind. Imagine having that insecurity not only become a reality but something so indisputable as DEATH.

even with Noah who is dead, Gansey never once lashes out to him/at him with that experience. Or tries to relate to him in way he would feel would minimize Noah’s own afterlife.

He never begs for things to be different, or as op says lashes out, he is so startling calm that even when he does die, it’s almost peaceful.

can we talk about gansey knowing he’s going to die???? bc there are so many angles on it. he never guilts ronan or any of his friends about it, there is no ‘for when i’m not around to sort out your messes speech’. he doesn’t assign any responsibility to anyone. there is no talk about taking care of ronan. none of his friends are tasked with sorting through his things. it could be argued that some of this is because of his security in his friends and their growth as people allowing them to care for one another but he doesn’t talk about it at all. he doesn’t even tell ronan. i don’t remember if he knows adam knows but i don’t think he does. for the entire series he’s accommodating the emotions and struggles and outbursts of everyone around him and when it comes to his death, he simply continues. he doesn’t trouble his friends who have their own problems or who may be upset by his oncoming death and just continues as he was. 

we are so back.
