I love finding out that the creators of things that were deeply formative were also queer. It’s like there’s some frequency we all pick up on, even when you’re too young to know how or why. 

This is going to live in my head rent free for the foreseeable future

Even knowing there’s a twist coming, that sentence floored me. What the hell? I actually really want to watch this now the pandora’s box has been opened in my brain. 

I fucking despise these movies and their success will forever be baffling to me. But I do love Mark Strong and his very shiny head. 

Fuck yes Los Campesinos! The most disgracefully underrated band of the 21st century. Doe to a Deer is a perfect banger for the depressive Christmas playlist. 

So amazing. And gruesome

Holy shit that’s some next level misogyny. Yuck.

Mr Evil Cheekbones you’re too good for this :(

Fuck yes Paul Jennings. Those eerie, funny, off-kilter stories were so formative for me, in terms of taste and humour and general world view, I guess. The one about the kid guarding the bilbies completely broke my heart as a kid. 

Reading The Only Good Indians right now and it’s SO good. 

It’s super weird. Especially when she talks about how damaging being in the public eye has been for her - so her solution is to use a young kid as her avatar? I think she probably thinks she’s trying to be a guardian to help a younger creative navigate the world of fame, but even with good intentions it’s more than a…

Yup the animals’ noise are such a great touch. I love Todd’s horse calling him boy-colt. I still think about Manchee way too much, *that* scene is just so traumatising.

Also why is Manchee so small? 

Blegh. I’ve been dreading this since it was announced what feels like a million years ago. Admittedly it’s been a while since I’ve read the books but they’re so much more ambitious and intelligent and devastating than your average dystopian YA stuff. It grapples with colonialism/misogyny/masculinity/ecological…

It’s been like eight years and I’m still so fucked up over Manchee

jesus christ. that girl is a champion for holding her ground against that fucking freak

Pandas aren’t actually dumb, but deliberately bred and raised in captivity in a way that creates issues around breeding. The myth that they don’t know how to fuck properly started because the first breeding attempts were between two female pandas, unbeknownst to the keepers. Pandas are actually pretty savage animals…

I guess he does look pretty punchable! 

Could you explain? I always need more fuel for my Joss Whedon hate train.

I have so much good will for this dude and I’m not even entirely sure why. The first Insidious was sick though, and I can forgive a dead horse-beating franchise so long as Lin Shaye is getting paid.
