You know what I love? Bathroom scenes in writing. And I don’t mean fucking in the shower, I mean one person has a breakdown and the other person ends up climbing into the tub and holding them. I mean one person is taking a warm bath and the sun is shining through the windows and they’re alive and their partner comes in and just sits by their side, and maybe they hold the other persons face, or maybe they just sit and breathe together. I mean one person is not having a good day so they camp out in this tiny safe room and just stay together, not out of obligation, but pure fucking love. That’s my kink.
“true love” this, “endgame” that. what about “compelling dynamic that’s fun to explore”
personally i’m a fan of when a story is like. the love was there. unfortunately. this all could have actually gone a lot easier for everyone if the love hadn’t been there but here we are
I really adore the casually prioritized importance of friendships in the new Twisters movie. Like obviously there were sparks of romance that i thoroughly enjoyed but the point is that that was never the point. The way that Javi and Kate took care of each other and looked out for each other even when they were fighting. The way the whole tornado wranglers crew acted like family and welcomed Kate right in. The way Tyler was genuinely interested in getting to know Kate and working together with her. There was no big fight between Javi and Tyler over Kate or anybody else. Kate spent the whole movie processing a lot of trauma and was able to be supported by the friends surrounding her instead of having all of her interactions stopped up with an intense budding romance. I just really love it when friendship and people are the most important things.
One of my favorite parts of “Twisters” is the misdirect with Tyler Owens’ character. Because at the start of the movie, he’s introduced as a douchebag YouTuber whose videos are vlogs in which he and his crew get into dangerous situations. But then when our protagonist Kate gets to know him, we learn that Tyler is actually:
1) a really sweet, humble dude who is looking out for all his friends
2) the smartest dumb guy you’ll ever meet. He has a degree in meteorology, but he does dumb things like drive into a tornado.
3) jumps into danger because he “feels” it / he’s attracted to the danger / wants to see if he can handle the danger
So in a weird way, he’s introduced as Cowboy Logan Paul, only for it to be revealed he’s more like Cowboy Markiplier. And let me just say, as soon as I compared him to Mark in the theater, I couldn’t unsee it lol.
me when - “I exist to love you”
me when - “I’m not lost anymore, I found the light.”
me when - “I believed in the gods after three decades of non-faith, so that when death comes for me, and it will, I will remain. I will be there, in the next ending, and I will wait for you.”
me when - “You made me hope, did you know that? Did you know you gave me my hope back?”
me when I create two oc’s who are helplessly in love with each other knowing I’m gonna traumatize the shit out of them
KILL ME IF IT'S WORTH IT; ON FLESH.

the authors note of all time
Jake’s gone and Bradley - Bradley has never learned how to look back, even when he should.
in my slut era. (i can't even start a conversation)
Because maybe Bradley burned down all of his bridges, but Jake never had any to begin with.

Maybe if he remembered them better, maybe if his father didn’t die before he hit double digits, maybe if Bradley Bradshaw knew the sort of home that was filled with love and laughter rather than the echo of grief, he would do this better. And by this he meant love.

Please stick to ONE TASK, brain!!

Had to make a meme to describe me currently
If you strip this story down to its barest bones, you will only find love.
"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.
on my way to go write the most tragic fic about grief and love and forgiveness and like what do you do when your husband loves you but he loves his best friend like he’s air and he dies before you can hate him or scream or love him anyway??? and like what do you do when the love of your life dies before you can ever kiss him but his wife is alive and she’s alone and you know you have to help her because he would want you too so you stay even as it fucking kills you??? and like you’re stuck with the only other person who loved this man, who is grieving him, and you can’t help but hate them and at the same time need them at your side bc who else would understand this pain?? and also two hot people co-parent an adorable child and slowly fall in love in a simple, not a world ending, way.
When the lumineers sang “so show me family all the blood that I will bleed. I don't know where I belong. I don't know where I went wrong” and when they sang “We were not born in sin” and when they sang “It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all. The opposite of love's indifference.” And when they sang “I hold on to a hope in my fate.” And again when they sang “And I can't feel no remorse And you don't feel nothing back.” An-

it annoys me when sapphic women see an attractive woman and are like “i’m no better than a man 😳😔” like BABE you are allowed to see an attractive woman and want to fuck her!!! free yourself from the cottagecore PG13 narrative of sapphic attraction, look at her with lust in your heart!!!
when you watch the most emotionally devastating movie ever and now your listening to Phoebe Bridgers and crying on your closet floor to cope
no no god please can we talk about how maddy/tara finds her heart. their hearts. locked away and still beating. and we have to assume, even though she dug herself out, she’s still dying without her heart. but she left it there. she left it there with isabel’s because she needs to go back in, they need to get out together. she left her heart. they’re both still beating but she left her heart. to go back.
I saw the tv glow makes me mourn for everyone who felt like there wasn’t enough time. Everyone who thought their time was up and they just had to stay how they were. They had to stay dying.
There is still time.
There is Always still time.
the moment where. where she screams. screaming for help. i’m dying right now! screaming. and there’s no reaction at all. there’s nothing. it’s more devastating than judgment could be somehow. “i’m sorry. ignore me.” before she crumples and chokes. i’m never going to be okay again i think.
you guys ever go seem a movie on a whim and it just fucks you up in the craziest way possible with no warning
Imagine your psychic soulmate, the only other person in this hell called living who truly understands you, gets a taste of freedom but decides to stay in place because they've convinced themself that hell is all they deserve.
i saw the tv glow is like. your childhood queer best friend got out of your town and got to live their better life as themself. your queer friend got out of your town and killed themselves because their delusions won them over. no matter your interpretation, you never see them again.
Sometimes I’m just so grateful to be alive it’s annoying. Like where the fuck did all these feelings come from???
