Man, once a month I go to into The Secret History tag and occasionally find some amazing art, but the rest 99.9% of it every time is the same 3 quotes from the book posted for the 20000th time: "I'm nothing in my soul if not obsessive", "Forgive me for all the things that I did etc etc", "Beauty is terror", "Morbid longing for the picturesque", random completely unrelated to the book dark academia moodboards, photos of Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch posts for some reason, "THE CHARACTERS ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE IT'S THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE BOOK!/!)", Henry Winter stans, Francis lovers and 'cubitum eamus', "The Secret History is so insane/so funny if you think about it-", cringey fake deep pseudophilosophical one liners.
I can’t hold this in anymore dude I’m actually going crazy…
I love love LOVE Vox, he’s so me, love him so much. But Valentino? I HATE HIM. I hate that guy I want him dead. I want him dead right now!!!! I actually cannot stand Staticmoth, yeah okay it is canon.
But not in my mind.
In my crazy yapped brain, Vox is NOT in love with Val, in my brain, Vox does all this stuff with Val for views.
BECAUSE THINK OF IT DUDE… What gets more views than a scandalous little romance, what gets more attention that two MEN kissing on live TV?
Probably a lot of things BUT STICK WITH ME HERE. STICK WITH ME HERE 🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️
I love Vox (and Velvette) and HATE Val..
Anyway that’s all, it’s 00:40 and my dog is BARKING at nothing, he’s such a crazy old guy!
Also, I suddenly remebered that I had a dream last night where you drew the most delectable Tennant art (she was in this ahsksajfksd spider-themed outfit oughh)
Anyway I think that might be a sign that you'll figure out how to draw her and I just wanted to tell you that (you got this)
How dare you cook this hard in my inbox....
Okay but a spider-themed outfit — do you mean, like, a top with spider web cuts??? GOTH TENNANT, EVEN??? God you (me) are sick in the head I HAVE to draw that...
ok!! analyse piss!! i think how the smiths are treating rick is a direct consequence of his actions. he is being treated how he conditioned them to treat each other for a very long time! i’m not saying that the smiths aren’t toxic and i’m not even saying that rick deserves it, but i do think it’s his fault. i think they shaped their lives around rick for a long time and now that he’s no longer the centre of their universe they want someone to deify. i think about ricks rant in the rickshank rickdemption a lot, after he’s manipulated beth into leaving jerry, it’s clear that he has had a huge impact on how the smiths interact with each other and him. his rant in s3 is a really good parallel to him telling morty to not everyone about pissmaster, he’s hasn’t told them when rick has done worse but it’s because of him trying to be better, morty isn’t as scared of him anymore. ricks is a transitional period where he is learning he can’t keep reaping the benefits of his manipulation while also trying to separate himself from it.
i also don’t necessarily think it’s the smiths wanting to feel morally superior or get back at rick, at least not for morty and summer, but more with ricks growth, all of the toxic coping mechanisms he’s instilled into them are coming back to bite him in the ass. analyse piss made rick incredibly sympathetic, and i agree with that but it’s obvious that how he’s being treated is in completely in line with the values he pushed onto the family, which is to deify for smallest victories and punish heavily for the smallest failures. because rick isn’t the head of the family anymore, this doesn’t work to his benefit anymore and everyone is dealing with all of the left over shit from ricks abuse.
i’m not trying to discount that beth and jerry specifically have always had these issues but i think it’s unfair to demonise all ofthe smiths for behaving how they were trained because it not longer benefits rick.
just saw the new mean girls movie musical and i have Thoughts (rant below)
pros:
i JUST saw the movie and can't think of a single thing i liked, it wasn't even funny
neutral:
changing janise (janise or janice?) into a lesbian.
tina fey is commonly thought to be a lesbian (or was) and janise was supposed to reflect that in the original, but in this new movie it makes sense why they would change it
NEGATIVES:
the clothing
the plastics didn't FOLLOW trends they CREATED them. the plastics in the original didn't dress like realistic highschoolers cause they DIDN'T NEED TO. regina showed up in heels and knowing her character you thought "yeah that's believable"
the lack of character development
we meet characters and nothing happens. we don't know who cady is, her motivations, her dreams, NOTHING. same with every other character. in the original movie aaron was a side plot, now he's cady's whole personality.
SHOW DON'T TELL
this new movie TELLS you everything. in the original aaron was walking around the party obviously looking for cady, in this new movie he is already at the party and in her room and says "oh i was looking for you" be serious. this movie does that the ENTIRE TIME.
cady is ALWAYS wearing blue
in the original movie you could see cady progress with her outfits and how she became more involved with the plastics, in this movie? slap the color blue on her and send her on her way
yeah so this movie sucked (imo) 🤩
i will no longer be listening to tiktok for movie recommendations
