im so dead tired of self aware genre fiction. i dont want the snarky knight or the brooding spaceman to joke about how overplayed something is. gimme back unashamed affect. gimme dudes speaking in thees and thous and starship captains making poignant speeches and shit and stop fucking worrying about being seen by critics or the general public as shlock

the reason Michael Caine and Tim Curry are so good in their respective Muppet movies is that Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors, and Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow Muppet

discuss

okay okay okay, maybe this is better fodder for discussion:

I believe David Bowie has taken the Tim Curry route in Labyrinth by choosing to be a particularly swaggery Muppet, but I could see an argument made that he has gone the Michael Caine route and is treating the goblins as fellow performers

discuss

Michael: these are people

Tim: I am muppet

David: I am muppet and these are my people

I hate you shipping discourse I hate you unnecessarily aggressive DNI banners I hate you dehumanization of those you disagree with I hate you harassment over ships or favorite characters I hate you purposeful lack of nuance I hate you false equivalencies I hate you policing how people engage in fandom I hate you actively trying to make fandom spaces hostile I hate you refusal to filter your feed I hate you making it everyone else’s problem

the fact em forster lost his virginity at the age of 37 and then was too busy having gay sex to write…inspiring

like he literally said this

To everybody needing it:

Any llama ranchers following me? If so, is this accurate?

My grandfather got a llama once to protect his goats. He told me he regrets doing that, since now he doesn't have goats anymore. They didn't die or get lost or anything. It's just that the llama won't let him get anywhere near her goats.

just realized i'm about to turn thirty in two months. feeling very normal about it

also just realized how much i depend on Not Thinking About Things to get by, lmao

Welcome to the club pal! Process it and realize you get to shake off those twenties and that life is even better and you still many, many decades before you!

The world is in your hands, mold it how you see fit.

oooh, so true! i like the angle of a new decade!!! last decade was practice, let the real bullshit and clownery and excitement begin!!

I just turned 30 a month ago. I totally get it.

I don't have an issue with physically aging because I've been greying since 20. But sometimes there are other things that get the aging anxiety spike.

It definitely helps that most of the people I know and work with are much older than me and all keep calling me young. And you realise yeah... There's no time limit. There's a lot of time to do a lot of things. and are at an age that people don't really question your choices.

You're no longer a young adult. You're an adultier adult.
