#but will I have the attention span to watch them

[iguessitsjustme]

There is absolutely no way I’ll be able to watch all of the trailers tonight. What are the five most important ones I should watch?

#gmmtv 2024 #thai bl #work has broken my brain as per usual #there’s no way I’ll have the attention span to watch all of them #I might be able to do more than five but I doubt it

[blood-choke]

literally I need a slice of life segment scene of Clear catching MC up on lesbian pop culture???? Like making them watch a Shane McCutcheon edit on repeat or throwing carol on the tv

all of them crowding on the couch to watch the L word together would be kind of iconic ngl. Clear definitely has the full series dvd box set (she collects lesbian lit and media). i do have a hard time imagining Valentina watching anything really, she's more of a book kind of gal, but she could definitely be convinced... then she'd probably get really into it, 8pm sharp once a week for the L word episode. or else.

#ive never seen carol actually :/ sowwy... #im behind on a lot of lesbian movies actually bc i have the attention span of a goldfish #last one i watched was the hunger which was like. Okay. kinda slow but that was to be expected #watched it for my novel it actually came up while i was researching lesbian bars apparently it was a favorite #that they played a lot at the bars #it was kinda crazy since my novel is also about lesbian vampires but i had never heard of the movie before #and then to find it while researching the bars rather than like. actual lesbian vampire media. was a fun coincidence #it's considered ~problematic~ by todays standards but apparently back then it was like Huge in the lesbian scene #lesbian tv shows i tend to just not bother with... i find them....bad. i did watch the L word many years ago tho in college (dont rmr much) #same with orange is the new black when i was in high school which was one of the first times i saw a real butch on screen #dont remember much of that either except for natasha lyonne and lea delaria being sexy #ask #anonymous

It's kind of funny how like. all the media I am super into is equal parts silly and fucked up. I'm realizing I have a hard time with anything that doesn't strike that balance. probably obvious but for me im like Oh. this is why I have trouble watching anything ppl recommend me huh

#ktxt #its all either check out this ultra fluffy show bc its gay!!! or this is the best tv show ever made but you Will not laugh #And I just. don't have the attention span for either of those things #btw have any of you guys watched centaurworld that is literally the best example of this I can think of. #its like one of the only cartoons I have had the patience to watch in recent years and the music is SO good #(there is nothing wrong with cartoons btw I just ironically enough don't have the patience for most of them) #don't ask me how THAT works

Various images from the past year or so... posting my evil little photo diary collections once again..

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. one of the billions of pastel sky photos I take and post constnaly because I'm obsessed with the sky lol 2. I got #a gardening mama (like cooking mama) game from a friend a few years ago and don't really play it that much since it's not #as interesting to me in some ways but.. I do like the graphics a lot. It'd be cool if in real life when you did something correclty a bunch #of little rainbows and sparkles appeared in front of you lol. 3. Everyone makes fun of me but this is how I like to have sandwiches #.. basically a salad in between two pieces of bread. barely any meat and cheese but then like 2 inches of lettuce and tomatoes and stuff.. #half an entire head of iceberg lettuce on one sandwich... the Cronch... 4. Weird little light colored spider doing a split on the netting #of this strawberry garden. 5. ice creambe... 6. tiny tiny babey strawberry son.. 7. Went to someone's house and they #had this weird channel (I guess for halloween?) where it was like 8 different channels playing at once and you could watch them all #simultaneously (I don't think this is the intended purpose of it I think it's more just to show what's currently airing) #but it's kind of surreal and interesting.. with how on tiktoc and stuff they have those weird sensory overhwleming #videos where its' like 3 videos playing at once with unrelated audio. I wonder if one day people will just watch 8 screens #of tv at once like this after everyone offically has only a 2 second attention span lol. To me its kind of hard to pay attention #to but is an interesting excercise I guess. Like it was a cool challenge to try to watch it all at the same time #8. THE temperature indoors at NIGHT during the late summer........... AUGH..... #9. a pleasant little breakfast of scrambled eggs with green onion. baked salmon. sauteed corn. and a few almonds pecans and pineapple #leftover from making smoothies with it the day before. I eat basically the same rotation of things for every single meal every single #day (like literally I have had the same exact breakfast for about 2 years with zero variation except for special occasion) so whenever I do #actually have the energy to make something different or I have some interesting food for some special occasion reason. I feel more #inclined to document it lol.. like.. oooooo...eggs.. Which are normal to some people. but to me it's like.. wow... revolutionary.. so #different from my usual Scheduled Bland Stomach Problems Safety Gruel lol. #photo diary #spiders tw

[martyrbat]

i miss horror movies :(

#i miss having an attention span to watch them AND not getting a migraine/be at a risk of a seizure because of flickering lights #i used to watch 2–5 movies every other day like.... horror and cinema was such a big special interest of mine but. man.

Forget about gritting your teeth through someone's media analysis that is egregiously incorrect. Some character/story analyses I see on here are literally just verbatim re-tellings of what happened in the story - the literal things you are supposed to understand, and the connections you're supposed to make to get what is happening - and they're phrased as crazy theories or analyses. And I just want to scream, because no, you're not weird or 'reaching' for coming to that conclusion, that is quite literally the exact thing the story was trying to tell you. You are stating blatant fact as some incredible discovery. Like that person who thought Lucy Gray Baird saying she was 'going to find Katniss' was "an accident" or maybe they were crazy. But I guess everyone's gotta start somewhere, even if you think saying 'did anyone else ever realise that Darth Vader's theme plays when Anakin does something evil???' is some mind-blowing observation. Like, shit, in a world where media literacy is so sorely lacking, quite literally witnessing a story and noticing details of it is considered analysis. Whatever.

#fandom #banging my head on the wall STOP FUCKING WATCHING NOTHING BUT MARVEL MOVIES THEY LITERALLY ROT YOUR BRAIN #marvel movies and marvel adjacent movies etc etc #THEY ARE COMMERCIALISED THEY ARE CORPORATELY FORMULATED SO THAT MASS AUDIENCES CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING #EVEN IF THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CHARACTERS ARE OR WHAT HAPPENED IN ANOTHER MOVIE #They WANT it to be so so obvious on PURPOSE so that they can get middle aged people who don't have kids to be entertained #so that they can get groups of teens with nothing better to do than watch some new marvel movie that's always in fucking theatres- #-to go in having absolutely no idea who these characters or their storylines are and still understand what's happening #wonder why no matter how good the new marvel movies are there's always just a certain substance that feels like it's missing? #What's missing is the part where they don't treat the audience like idiots who need everything spelled out for them #where the plot and symbolism went hand in hand to tell the story #when you didn't need repeated flashback shots of scenes we've already seen just to remind an audience with an absolute SHITE attention span #what happened literally twenty minutes ago in the same movie #like no. you're not insanely smart nor crazy for recognising that leitmotif. I beg you to look it up that is quite literally its purpose. #you are an audience member observing and understanding the story. #Like I LOVEEEEE delving into the symbolism and narrative rhetorical devices in stories it is my favourite thing #I always loved Socratic Seminars in school because we'd get to just discuss our analyses on the texts we'd read #there's too many people acting like they're INSANE like they are going to be SHOT ON SIGHT if they DARE notice blatant details #that are supposed to be noticed #and don't get me wrong I have no hate for these people. #I truly just hate the fact that this is enabled by the commercialising and commodification of ART. #“content” and all that bullshit #IT'S CALLED ART #IT'S CALLED A GOOD STORY #'bro has anyone ever noticed that gandalf is called gandalf the gray in the hobbit because it was set before lotr?' #YES. EVERYONE. STOP IT

I started watching classic who and I'm watching the third doctor's era and it's so good!!

I finally got to the episodes where the master shows up and I love him, the doctor and the master for sure have something going on

Also I just in general am loving it so far, absolutely delightful, expect me to be so not normal about this for the next while

#classic who #third doctor #delgado!master #i did skip like 6 seasons from the beginning and started at the 7th season #my attention span just was not having it unfortunately 😔 #i eill watch them one day tho #I'll get to it eventually

I'm so curious about how Tiny Tom (GG anon killed it with that I laughed) reacts to Yelena leaving.

“…and I told you I didn’t like you letting a total rando be around my baby. She was practically living here, KitKat. Look what happened.”

Tom speaks from the ensuite bathroom, mid-pee. Kate’s eyes roll completely at the sound of the nickname she’s grown to despise.

“You don’t get a say on who gets to come and go from my apartment.”

He steps out, stark naked and jumps on the bed.

“This could’ve ended badly. What if she had snatched her?”

Kate groans.

“Oh my god. She wasn’t going to kidnap Ri.”

“How do you know that? She…poof…gone…in the middle of the night. She could’ve just as easily vanished with our daughter.”

“Keep it down. You’re being too loud. She hasn’t been sleeping too well lately.”

“Nightmares?”

Kate nods.

“I bet the stranger pulling a Copperfield on her didn’t help.”

Kate groans.

“Get out…Leave.”

“Giving her some stability right now would be nice. Mom. Dad. In the same house. No more split days or weekends…arranged pick ups…different bedrooms.”

“Tom, I’m so not in the mood. Go. I have a big day tomorrow and I could use the time to review my pitch.”

“You could practice your pitch on me. Like you used to do.”

“Please go home.”

Tom sighs and tries to kiss her goodbye but Kate turns her face and his lips lands on her cheek.

“Well you can call me if you need anything, KitKat.”

“You know I won’t.”

“Did tonight.”

Kate doesn’t answer.

#i *legit* threw this together in like three minutes #i have like a dozen asks from that last mini chapter #but i just finished watching a movie and #im trying to hit 200 movies watched before the end of the year #and im at 184 right now #im trying to hit 185 before i go to bed #so i have 15 left to watch in 4 days #well less than 4 days #cuz its the 28th #and its 7:30am #and i still have to watch 185 and go to sleep #so really like 3 days #i basically have like 3 days to watch 15 movies #totally doable #but its why these might be short and sweet until i hit 200 #but i i also have a short attention span and have to pause movies/sometimes see an ask and cant help myself #anyway...let me go watch the next movie then go to sleep #keep sending them and ill see what i get to when i get to it #kymau #kymaup #anonymous #answers

Uni lecture is making me think about my future for a minute and auuuggghhhh the agonies

#personal #taking a brief break from it bc the feeling hasnt quite overwhelmed me yet but i dont think I'm going to be okay by the end of it! #its asking me to consider what my strengths are. what kind of role I'd like to have in the industry when i graduate #these are questions that i SHOULD certainly have answers to but they kind of just make me not wanna be alive yk? bc i have no answers #I'm not really good at much. like the things I'm best at I'm still completely unexceptional #what are my strengths? don't have any. next question #what job do i want to have in the industry? well that requires an answer to the first question doesn't it #not to mention it requires me to think about graduating and having a job and I've simply never imagined myself getting that far #and i can only give this so much of my attention span bc I'm also thinking about how hard i failed my modules from last semester #my best grade this year has been a c #one of them is a marginal fail meaning i do the reassessment this year (i think) #the other is a hard f. what does that mean? do i resit the entire course next year? maybe #and i can't look it up just yet bc i need to make it through the lecture bc I'm really far behind this other module already #and it's only week 3 and i have a presentation tomorrow #and if i stop watching it im not convinced I'll bring myself to start watching again! #so instead i was just sitting here trying not to get overwhelmed by all of the things i should be thinking about!!! #that's why I'm making the post tbh. just to organise my thoughts and get it out of my system and give myself time to breathe #and my phone keeps buzzing while i type and if it does that one more time i will launch us both out of the window I'm so fucking done #semester has barely begun and im so fucking overwhelmed already #I've joked about being the token nt mutual before but honestly the past few years I've just been getting gradually more convinced I'm not #this can't be how everyone else is experiencing life. surely #like dude I'm so out of fucking touch w the concept of being a human #so in summary: augh the agonies

I’ll watch a three hour youtube video about a tv show I’ve never heard of but if a tik tok is longer than like 15 seconds I start biting and killing 

#personal #not that i watch many tik toks but my sister is always showing me them and i do NOT have the attention span

[cowboyadjacent]

why did nobody tell me The Bear episodes are like 30 minutes on average and not 45. i would’ve started watching it ages ago

#sorry to all long episode enjoyers #i will never have the attention span required for 45-60 min episodes #i watch them but it takes Years #the bear

I've been really into watching feminist video essays lately (I'm training my attention span by watching content I'm actually interested in) so if anyone has any other video essay recommendations, please send them to me (DM or replies, either way is fine <3).

#me my mine #I've been watching tee noir shanspear khadija mbowe #you may notice the trend of black women preferred but it's not like i'm avoiding other perspectives #i rather not have feminism presented by men #but other women totally a-ok #Also I'm open to video essays on other topics as well! #Like I also watch contrapoints cause I love her videos even though a lot of them aren't strictly about feminism #Under an hour though PLEEK i'm TRAINING my attention span so baby steps #45 mins max I beg #i'm going to sleep now #feminist #feminism #intersectional feminism

I will not go on a rant about adapting books to tv shows. I want to, I’m just irritated enough in general due to lack of sleep to do it, but I know better. I really do.

#posting as a reminder to myself to Stop It #because I already know the people who hate the show or complain about it regularly #don't really want to have a discussion or hear counter points #they just want to bitch #and say the show is Bad and Wrong and misses everything there is to love about the books #which is so frustrating #do you know how long I've wanted people in my life to understand my rambling about WOT? #nobody I know will read the series because of the length #full stop #and nobody I know would watch a show that was crazy long and included every book detail #because attention spans aren't what they used to be #but also because for a show the format doesn't need as much detail #sorry but it just doesn't #it can be condensed and still maintain the feeling of the source material #but guess what? #I got my entire family to watch the show #several friends #and even coworkers #a few of them liked it enough to then PICK UP THE BOOKS #so I'm sorry it isn't a page by page recreation #but I'm not sorry with the interest people in my life now have in book series I love #and frankly? #I like the show #I do think it maintains the spirit of the books #but that could be because I wasn't primed to hate it #and I understand how adaptations work #goddamn it I am ranting aren't I? #it's tags they don't count

ofc ive always had adhd, but personally what really fucked up my attention span is agar.io (and being depressed enough to play it for hours every day. people whose lives are ok dont do that shit)

#like im financially stable but really really really really lonely and it was covid when i started + body image problems etc #im already taking all the meds i can this is more of a skill issue #lets break down why my life is so bad: im rude to people and end up randomly (accidentally?) upsetting them often #so its hard to maintain friendships #im on social media for friends instead of irl bc messing up irl is scarrier but combined with agario its messing with my attention span #(it didnt use to. how i use social media just changed. i used to watch long videos and fine tune my tumblr feed) #+ lets be honest the world is kinda scary and difficult for everyone #also its hard to find true communist queer autistic polish people who dont drink AND are not on tiktok #but still i should really get out there #i should sleep more eat better excersize more and idk maybe i would have more energy. idk how much of it is incurable chronic fatigue #but i need energy to get out there. i have time just not the energy #and maybe not the confidence. admittedly my confidence is very fake and fragile and i can talk to people but when i fail i crumble #crumble is such a cool word. crumble bumble doo be di doo. i have a little red present for you #i like rhyming with scatting. you can just say whatever. one of my fav cartoon gags is when you can kinda tell what the character will rhym #like 'crumble bumble doo be di dosis my mother has come down with osteoporosis' #ok going to sleep now goodnigth
