I Saw The Tv Glow Is A Cautionary Tale That Is As Horrific As It Is Hesitantly Optimistic. It Is A Movie

Yall se the vision right?

Top Five Episodes of The Pink Opaque

5.) S1E04 Who You Calling Dummy? - I'd put this higher if it wasn't so similar to the Buffy episode "The Puppet Show." Weirdly enough, this came first. Still, Buffy basically does everything this episode did better! And Tara does not come off well with the way she treats the wooden loser!

4.) S410 Isabel's Magic Dress - Completely shifted the tone of the season halfway through. It got shockingly raw--I'll never forget the way Tara chews out Isabel on the psychic plane, with that dress blowing in the wind, lightning flying everywhere. Some of the best performances in teh show.

3.) S5E02 Melancholy Youth - For most of the series, Mr. Melancholy is untouchable and incomprehensible. Near the end of the original run, we finally get answers about him and his throne. The tone is set for the nightmare that is the last season. You loved this one, Isabel.

2.) S1E05 The Curse of Mr. Sprinkly - Stone cold creamery classic. It's like the archetype of a standard classic TPO episode. Mr. Sprinkly still gives me nightmares sometimes!

1.) S602 Escape from the Midnight Realm (Part 2) - Isabel. Isabel. Isabel. Isabel. Can you hear me, Isabel? I know you're still there. I can feel you. It's going to be okay. Listen to my voice. Oh, my dear Isabel.

hopelessly devoted to you

did you guys know that the tv shows you watched when you were a closeted queer teenager are real and they can save you

I saw the tv glow is crazy bc it’s a movie that genuinely makes you watch how your life could fall apart. Makes you watch how heavily repression can affect your life and how dangerous and sad it can be. But at the same time it’s like “hey, if you’re still alive there is still time, so keep going.”

I’ve genuinely never watched a movie that has given me so much sadness, but let’s me find a sense of hope, no matter how bittersweet, within that devastation.

watching the scene where maddy draws the symbol on the back of owen’s neck was like. oh. Oh. this is Such an intimate experience and even though, physically, we are watching a boy and a girl exist on screen, it is SO MUCH a representation of a young queer person’s first experiences of intimacy with the same gender that it almost physically hurts. i felt like i was intruding. how much she touches him, pushes his head forward, the slow drawing of the pen, fingers drawing softly over her shoulders afterward. it was so tender.

early stages of friendship are Soooo embarrassing like yea sorry....... it's me again............ i enjoy talking to you and spending time with you....... you can shoot me point blank if you want i dont mind

I saw the tv glow is a psychological thriller version of good luck babe

aita for walking to hell to save my deceased lover and accidentally ruining it by looking back at her?
