There’s a monster in my mind

He comes out from time to time

I'm in the stage of writing where I keep adding lines to skeletons of scenes and filling up the timeline and daydreaming about stuff that could happen, which technically counts as writing so I don't feel guilty for not typing words in a while

It's not for the project I actually want to work on, but that's out of my control, I'm afraid

The structure of our society is to blame. Not you. Not your friends.

Let’s not forget the ending:

He watches his beloved dog die on a pile of shit and then goes and FUCKS EVERYONE UP!

You think Odysseus was Homer's favorite blorbo because of the amount of details he put in his descriptors. I think Odysseus was Homer's favorite blorbo because of the absolute hell he put him through. You cannot convince me that The Odyssey wasn't just someone going buck wild with their favorite oc—because that's exactly what it was.

The old school tv show The Avengers (BBC not MCU) did this well. The main characters were a male/female duo. The guy was a fopish but brilliant spy and his bodyguard was an asskicking race car driver. And who played this asskicking super bitch?

hate when people think the only archetype possible for a male sidekick to a female protagonist is a soft boi and/or himbo. like the implication there is that the only reason a man would ever defer to a woman’s authority is if he was a bumbling idiot. love male supporting characters who are smart and strong and confident and can step up when necessary but still kind and humble enough to let someone else take the lead most of the time

umm fucking sniffsniffsniffsniffsniff ??? ? (x)

Literally the exact behavior of the Democratic Party

The cherry on top of Dracula's emotional and psychological manipulation is how Jonathan Harker was left in the wilderness waiting and waiting outside the Castle with wolves around in the cold of night...

And once Jonathan is let in by Dracula, he is welcomed to sit by the hearth: warmth, comfort, domesticity. Immediately, Jonathan associates the things the Count provides (if he's a good patient boy) with security and shelter from worse things.

Ooh, excellent shout! It's a very subtle manipulation that you wouldn't necessarily recognise in the moment as manipulation. In the span of this one interaction, Dracula is conditioning Jonathan to perceive him as a safe person to be around, someone who will provide for him and keep him safe, and it gives him a lot of power in the dynamic from the moment he introduces himself, because he is the only form of safety Jonathan will get.

it was a stroke of genius to give James T Kirk a bitchy flip phone in the 60's, truly amazing to watch him slam it shut like a pissed off socialite girl in 2000's teen shows

This is how Prince was created, btw
