I don’t know how many more armchair diagnoses people on TikTok can throw at me before I genuinely start getting mean

I don’t mean like the TikTok algorithm thinks that I have OCD or anything. I mean, like, I have a fairly large following on TikTok and people are in comments asking me if I have XYZ disorder (or just calling me ABC) and I don’t know how to say it’s not bad to be that but it’s none of your business and leave me alone and shut up

also shout out to that guy that called me a psychopath because of my eyes (?!)

okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.

I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.

so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.

Hell yeah

the big chill, the breakfast club, and office space occupy the exact same space in my mind, which is "boomer and gen x shlock they cream themselves over and is completely inaccessible to millennial and gen z mindsets because of the pickle those stupid assholes put us in"*

*generational politics is a scam but the shorthand to refer to age groups is useful

notably, i think ferris bueller's day off and american graffiti are exempt from this space despite initially seeming like they fit into them. there's very little nihilistic disillusionment of pampered well-off idiots in them as opposed to what i feel personally are examinations of intrinisically human experiences

all very incredibly white though, we are going to mention that

the wikipedia page for the rules of the game compares The Big Chill to it and i just sat there like. an objective criticism of landed gentry like TROTG cannot be sat next to the boomer shlock of the big chill. i fucking hate that movie
