still still im still pondering i saw the tv glow. and how u cant stay behind in a life that isnt really yours just to save someone that cant admit that they are living in a world that wasnt made for them. you have to leave, you have to leave, you have to

i was writing to my friend who read tsh recently (i made her) and she brings up an interesting comparison to the picture of dorian gray, and the more i think abt it the more insane i get. bc yeah the corruption arcs between richard and dorian are so similar and the aesthetic worship is there and also their main corrupters are BOTH named henry for fucks sake. i cant believe i never noticed b4, i need to lie down.

electronic devices that were brightly coloured but a little bit translucent so you could see their guts… they were like angels on earth to me

the way that in the pink opaque, tara and isabel only met in the first episode and then only communicated through their psychic link throughout the rest of the series and didn't see each other in person and how owen watched their first episode of the pink opaque with maddy but then after that was only able to watch it through the tapes maddy left them in the dark room, not even giving them to owen in person

i saw the tv glow is the most tender and horrifying spoken word poem abt the trans experience ive ever seen and im being so normal abt it

this isn’t normal. this isn’t how life is supposed to feel. if you don’t think about it it can’t hurt you. I found our hearts and they were still beating. there is still time.

when you go to the gender clinic you can ask about being buried alive left to scream and claw at the lid of your coffin until you emerge into your real body & your real name but idk if it's covered by insurance

Mom said it was my turn to make I Saw The TV Glow fanart!!

Any support for this trans artist is greatly appreciated 💜

Ok also I think the reason I Saw The TV Glow is so powerful (and everyone is making jokes like it got them to start hrt) even beyond its fundamental message of hope and There Is Still Time etc is because as a trans person there are so many people and medias that will ask you the question What If You're Faking It. What If It's Not Real. And ISTVG is the first media I've seen that asks What If You're Not? What if you're not and you keep going on like this?

And it gives that question a name and a physical presence and a weight and an aesthetic and a horror. It's like TV static. It's like falling asleep on the car ride home. It's like living with a light inside you crawling to get out. It's like suffocating to death. It follows that thought to its logical conclusion and, in a frankly extremely painful and hard-to-watch but deeply needed way, excruciatingly draws out what that looks like. Suspended animation. Stasis. A life that is not your life.

It says that choosing not to transition is still a choice.

RIP fransis Abernathy you would have loved slurs not being socially acceptable so that bunny wouldn’t verbally abuse you everyday

francis abernathy is genuinely god’s strongest warrior because how did this motherfucker survive THREE homoerotic failed situationships in a ROW, bunny, bunny’s murder, henry, richard, charles, incest twins, being a redhead, a SUICIDE ATTEMPT, being catholic, being gay in the 80s, being catholic AND gay BOTH in the 80s, multiple nervous breakdowns, vermont, an alcoholic absent mother, a homophobic grandpa, being fatherless AND to top it all off being the only diva in the classics group 😢

man. the secret history has become so synonymous with dark academia that when u look through the tag its just knit sweaters and latte art. like please show me a text post about how fucking unhinged richard was for staying in a room with a Literal hole in the wall during the dead of winter and almost dying of hypothermia.

stoppp im sooo emooo

i think sydney should get to lose her fucking shit and just start screaming. as a treat.

yeah characters slowly hollowing themselves out to save their beloved just to become someone unrecognizable to the one they sacrificed everything to save is cool and all but characters who fill that hollow void with more and more desperate and unseemly traits in the name of saving someone who disagrees entirely with their methods of saving them???? until they are not only unrecognizable but also disgusting to everyone who once cared about them??????????? i need it carnally.

thinking abt when fleabag said “all this love i have for her, i dont know where to put it now” and without missing a beat boo replied “i’ll take it. it sounds lovely you must give it to me” like i think i have to throw up now.

so i just finished watching dragon age: absolution and like. whyyyy cant the gay ppl win. just once. even just a little bit.

when lorde said, “when you’ve outgrown a lover, the whole world knows but you” and then she said, “i care for myself the way i used to care about you” and she had the nerve to say those things to me within the SAME SONG????? i need a minute guys

If there is no romantic sydcarmy I at least need her to kill him

again again again i am once AGAIN thinking abt judith ford saying, "i don't get how what i did could be so wrong if what i did let me have you!!!!" like.

yeah i love a good battle couple but in the song of achilles when patroclus was on the battle field everyday just like "wow look at those guys' spears not hitting me, what a strange phenomenon, i'm surrounded by dead bodies and not doing anything about it, i'm the paragon of luck" and then realizing that achilles was doing this strategically and keeping everyone's attention away from his easy ass target of a bf.... that was some good shit.

yes i get emo abt the jinx and vi foil, but what i really wanna talk about is the jinx and jace foil. two brilliant minds that both figured out the power of the strange blue crystals and how to harness it, but separated by class (i.e. tools and access and power dynamics).

jinx being part of the lower class and being manipulated by its territory leader, OF COURSE she was going to build weapons and explosives and the things that are used to progress a rebellion. jace was a student, with access to sophisticated tools and mentors and eventually even a leadership position himself, OF COURSE he was going to make mechanisms to build and help further the expansion of a prosperous "higher society." i just. i love when characters are a product of their environment/social class.

big fan of how the bear trailer is like. hey gang remember jeremy allen white of that calvin klein campaign? he is actually infact the most cringefail loser boy mentally ill chef youve ever seen. in case u forgot
