I Sure Hope My Good Friend Johnathan Harker Has A Safe Trip...

- the rocks in the dirt path on my walks home

- the massive jar of rocks on my desk that I collected throughout the years

- the hum of fluorescent lights

- the trees in my yard

- the field in my backyard that my neighbours park their trailers in

- the pond in the woods that’s been unused, since we’ve all grown up 

- the earthy, chalk-like smell of classrooms

- the 20 unfinished journals I own, with pages filled with drawings of people I’ve seen and places I’ve been, and words forgotten over the years

- the One pair of heels that have never shrunk over the span of 2 years

- the way my friends finish my sentences

- stuttering over things I’m excited about 

- getting a perfect A on my favourite assignments

- brining a thermos of coffee to school every morning and chugging it before science 

- the way the science lab overlooks the street and gives a perfect view of the sunlight

- biking and feeling the wind go through my shirt, cooling me off

- sending my friends memes after not talking for 2 days, and almost instantly getting a response 

- designing a perfect house for my loved ones 

- the way soft blankets feel on cold skin

The stigma of self-inserts is so harmful to the creative process. Relax. Admit it. Everything you make is derivative of yourself, always, no exceptions. You can turn the mirror into tinier and tinier shards or you can make it as big as you want to reflect as much as you want. At the end of the day it's always going to show you inside of it. Pretending otherwise is stupid.

Hey y’all I’ve been looking through the Goncharov (1973) posts, and it seems like most people aren’t aware of the master document, which has all the lore, behind the scenes, and plot breakdown. It’s collaborative, so we can all make sure we get the most accurate depiction of everyone’s favorite movie :)

Made the worst brownies ever created just now

I haven’t seen many posts on here talking about this, so I guess I’ll give it a go.

I think that a problem that a lot of people have nowadays when discovering their identity is “aesthetics”. I don’t mean like, “oh wow, that’s so aesthetically pleasing!” It is 100% to enjoy something because of how it looks. The problem, though, is when you enjoy an aesthetic (or several) to the point where if a part of your identity doesn’t correspond to one, you have to “fix” it. It’s harder to be yourself when you’re constantly worrying about which behaviour would fit into little boxes, and which wouldn’t.

That being said, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying an aesthetic, or simply liking something based on its appearance. The problem is when you lose motivation to do things you love because they aren’t “cutesy cottagecore femmecore coquette”. For example, I used to be utterly obsessed with the “That Girl” aesthetic. I woke up everyday at 6:30, worked out for 10 minutes, ate healthy foods whenever I could, took up journaling, started researching whatever I felt like, and cleaned up after myself and others. There’s nothing wrong with that. The problem began, though, when I found traits that weren’t something that “That Girl” would do. I’d listen to loud rock music, I’d sleep in on weekends, sometimes I’d skip workouts, etc. And because these habits didn’t fit into my little boxes that I made, I felt awful. I fell into a pit of self-hate, and started beating myself up over it. I found new interests, and lost even more motivation to fit into that aesthetic. But here’s the thing:

Nothing in life is going to be perfect.

The idea of having to correspond to an aesthetic is ridiculous at this point. Want to be “emo”, but also enjoy dressing in colourful clothes and don’t want to spend $500 on a pair of shoes? Okay! 

Want to be “That Girl” who has a 10 step skincare routine and is super fit, but lack the dedication and funds? That’s okay, too!

Nothing is ever going to fit in a single little box. Sometimes they’ll fit into cabinets. Somethings they’ll mix with other things. Sometimes, you can just enjoy something. There shouldn’t be a pressure to have a perfectly curated image, just because it corresponds to a certain category of being. You’re not just an aesthetic, you’re you.

There’s a good video by Shinspeare on YouTube, called “Social Media’s Obsession with Aesthetics and Curated Identities” that is really lovely, and talks about the subject as well!
