I Most Certainly Didn't, But It Gives Me A Sense Of Accomplishment And Joy To Know Someone Else Perceives

8 MILE (2002) dir. Curtis Hanson

"I'm just a collection of things, put together to look like a person,"

"People fake a lot of human interactions, but I feel like I fake them all, and I fake them very well. That's my burden, I guess.”

“Normal people are so hostile.”

"They make it look so easy. Connecting with another human being. It's like no one told them it's the hardest thing in the world."

— Dexter Morgan

let's face it, Obi-Wan is only a stickler for the rules in comparison to Anakin. this guy thought lightsaber nunchucks were cool as a teenager and jumping out of politicians windows was cool as an adult. he regularly sasses the chancellor of the republic. he saw Anakin and Padmé being super obvious and decided it was none of his business. he sits pussy facing the world in important meetings. hes's a lonely single in your area. he won one (1) fight against a sith lord and decided they were his speciality despite getting his ass handed to him by Dooku multiple times. he's annoying on purpose as a battle strategy. every man he meets desires him carnally and he doesn't notice. he puts one foot on Han Solos ship and is like "damn bitch you live like this" despite having spent 20 years in a desert hole. he gets himself killed to one-up Vader one last time. he's winning the idgaf war

Sometimes reading the Dexter books feels like a fever dream because what do you mean Dexter called himself a good boy (and a good girl in book 1) and just fucking barked??

I'm jumping up and down from excitement. I can't wait for Resurrection to come out. I really want to see Biney. I NEED him to be back for at least three episodes. I didn't wait no 14 years for a remake of Nebraska (independently from how much I loved that episode).

I'm not posting much, and I probably wont be for a while cause I'm deep into writing a fic.

Seriously, I was sure I wasnt gonna write much, but once I got into it wrote almost 3k words in a single chapter...

I don't know how it happened and I need to ask a question: if it makes sense in the story (there's a logical reason to the 3k words I have written and the many more to come), but the focus of the story should be a couple getting together, will you, reader, read through the daily life of the main character before they get together with their loved one?

P.S. Answers to this ain't going to change what I wrote, I'm perfectly satisfied with it, and as soon as I have my ao3 account, I'm going to publish it all. Though I sincerely want to know if people actually read through long stories or simply skip to the parts that interest them. Cause I had a friend back in high school who would do just that (actually only reading the dialogue parts) with all the books they read, and it made me mad.

Especially now as the author, everything that I'm writing I'm putting my soul into. I'm actively researching street names and housing arrangements for the university my character studied at in 1994. I know people aren't exactly going to fact-check my story, I wouldn't as a reader, but it would be bad if someone just skipped through all these parts.

tl;dr: would you be willing to read a story, from a 1st person perspective, of a character going through their life, or would you just skip through to the parts where them and their significant other get together?

This scene was so well acted that I've been replaying it in the back of my mind since it came out!! I'm still in awe.

you promised me, you wouldn't separate me and dexter.

but you did.

so, now... i'm gonna separate you.

I just want to catch up on all our lost time

i have been listening to this on repeat for the past. month and a half and i just. oh its them im sick oh....
