"meet Me At Midnight" "meet Me In The Afterglow" "meet Me Behind The Mall" Girl Give Me An Address I

actually i love the reveal that the only reason effie got involved with the hunger games at all was because her little sister needed her.

what if you were POOR and then you got a GIRLFRIEND who was always SINGING and then she DUMPED YOU and then you got elected PRESIDENT and then some district 12 rando ALSO HAD A GIRLFRIEND THAT SINGS and then he tries to BLOW UP YOUR CHILD DEATH ARENA and then ANOTHER district 12 rando can SING AND BLOWS UP YOUR CHILD DEATH ARENA and then she doesn’t SHOOT YOU but you still DIED

Simon giving Xavier so much shit in s1 even after it was confirmed that Xavier had nothing to do with Maddie's death vs him immediately accepting Claire being part of the Scooby gang is feminism

the lyric “sleep on the floor, dream about me” is insaneeee considering owen used to sleep on maddy’s floor every saturday night after watching the pink opaque. like. yeah okay he will. he will. he did. he dreamt of maddy when they disappeared. he dreamt of isabel and mr melancholy and tara . he dreamt of that pink dress around his rib cage. a knife in his hand. the night sky

i just. when owen tried on isabel's magic dress and maddy blushed and smiled and hid in her hand. the intimacy in how she drew the symbol on the back of owen's neck. an out lesbian showing those feelings for a closeted, pre-transition trans girl who doesn't even seem to know that's true of herself yet. knowing her before she knows herself. don't speak to me i'm literally dust on the floor

the first real dialogue we hear from the pink opaque is isabel's narration in the intro - "tara is my imaginary best friend. and i'm hers." which seems like the setup for...frankly a cooler show, you instantly think, oh, are they from different dimensions? different worlds?

and then you learn that they live in the same town, just on opposite sides of the county. it's implied that they don't meet up in person after the pilot for safety reasons (mr. melancholy could get them both if they were in the same place - as he does in the s5 finale) but it's so close. it's such a self-imposed kind of thing. why does nobody else in isabel's life believe that tara exists, and vice versa? is it a girlfriend in canada kind of deal? do they have no mutual friends, do they never run into the same monsters? where is double lunch?

but that's the rub of it, isn't it? the suburbs are forever. and also the "imaginary best friend" thing is the twist of the movie. this person, this world, can't possibly exist. there can't be someone who understands you that well. "i've traveled a long way to see you," tara/maddy says. the other side of the tv screen is so close. it's so far. this life is right there if you want to grasp it but it's also unimaginable. god.

t-shirt that says i watched i saw the tv glow and all i got was this ache in my chest from an emotion i cant put the name to

all that bimbo girl dinner girl math “i’m too pretty to understand the economy” passenger princess shit is not subversive. it does not make men mad. it is not reclamation. the joke is on you. they are laughing at you, not with you, and the tradition of women who play to men’s most heinous views of women in order to get a bag is long and established. these women are apart of that legacy no matter what idiotic, hyperonline choice feminism spin they try to give it. it is never and never will be progressive to treat women as though we are naturally incompetent and incapable

lee begging, BEGGING maren to eat him because he wouldn’t want to die any other way and maren refusing at first because how could she? how could she devour her lover? maren, eventually caving, because lee BEGS her and he wants her to and she needs to because even more, how could she deny the wishes of a lover dying? a lover, who in his death keeps her alive.
