i rreally reall y really like norman bates. a lot.

thinking about how the act of bringing someone back from the dead comes from a desire not just to bring back the dead person but to have things return to the way they were before they died. which is, of course, impossible. if a haunting is an open wound, then resurrection is a knife widening the cut.

most important thing you can do as a tumblrina is get into some media almost none of your followers know about or have engaged with in any form so you can make long untagged posts complaining about peoples bad takes to an audience of 3 total people. second most important thing you can do as a tumblrina is get obsessed with some ugly guy from said media and start posting about him with captions such as "so cuties forever 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖" so your mutuals can give you a polite golf clap like while attempting to withhold their mildly scathing judgement

ive been age regressing this whole time but as a precocious and unexpectedly cultured 12 year old boy with only adult friends so you couldnt tell. im very mature i even drink coffee and read at a college level. i don’t want to play with toys with you i’m listening to freeform jazz

[guy who hasn't realized they're a lab animal in a cage yet voice] i love my wire mother even though her cold sharp edges cut me when i try to cling to her. she provides me with everything i need to survive and to ask for anything more would be excessive and ungrateful. this is my decision. given the choice i would make it again.

[guy who is beginning to realize they might be a lab animal in a cage voice] was this my choice? i don't remember anything from before this, but i can see you watching me through the glass. you look so soft but your eyes are so hard and cold. why won't you help me. why won't you hold me. why won't you look at me like you look at each other.

a real blorbo is someone you can both write a lengthy and serious/sad analysis on yet also constantly and i mean constantly make stupid jokes about

oh and also there’s gotta be at least one thing they should be locked up for

i have gotten. two (2) comments from people saying they want to pet/squish wolf norm so. here. pet the boy

the big three questions of media analysis: what the author wanted to say, what they actually said, and what they didn’t know they were saying

for the last one i don’t just mean oh the author inadvertently wrote in gay subtext or whatever i’m talking about media as a cultural artifact which can reveal a ton about societal norms, biases, ideals, etc. it’s all about positionality and an unexamined positionality is often the most revealing of all
