She had tricked him. She had made him leave his old self behind and come into her world, and then before he was really at home in it but too late to go back, she had left him stranded there — like an astronaut wandering about on the moon. Alone.

Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter. And ruining Regina George's life definitely didn't make me any happier. All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you.

the longer I exist in this current iteration of the world, the more I'm like, "you know, maybe Victor Hugo was right narratively speaking. Maybe you do have to occasionally write a chapter long extended metaphor. Stop. Turn to face the audience. Tell them in no uncertain terms exactly what the metaphor means. Explains it is society. Society is the metaphor. Do you understand. Do you get it is a metaphor about society. The one that you live in. Okay, now back to the plot."

the greatest unrequited love of yellowjackets is not jackieshauna but actually other tai and van. other tai would do anything for van, but van will always be disgusted and frightened of her. will always prefer tai, even when tai abandoned her for 25 years, even though it was other tai who asked for van, who was still thinking of her, all those years later

well that’s the thing though isn’t it? even when you do know how it ends you still think it might turn out this time. I for one know I spent my first time watching the show thinking about how it could be written so that he doesn’t turn around, hoping and wishing and justifying and making excuses. and when he turned around I gasped. I knew it was going to happen but I gasped anyways. because that’s the nature of the story and that’s what makes it so powerful

isn't this the whole point of the show? we know how it ends and we tell it anyway. how many times have people heard this story over the course of human history, hoping it will end differently, and it doesn't? isn't that incredible?

luigi mangione facing the death penalty just seems like a bad decision for america. so there's this guy that everyone loves and considers a hero, and we arrested him after very obviously planting fake evidence. and now we're going to subject him to an unfair trial and kill him at the end. there's no way anyone will be mad about that right
