i distance myself from myself

Im like the anti-Bateman. I havent been to a social gathering in 3 months. Im working out in a concrete bunker alone listening to the most fucked up weird shit youve ever heard in your life and my life is a fucking disaster and im destroying my body and im hallucinating a little but I fuckin rule and im the best person you'll ever meet in your gay little life. Still kill people tho but I'm not shitty about it.

i love horror so much i love when it’s so garbage that you can’t help but laugh at it and i love when it’s the pretentious film major type of horror where nothing happens for two hours and i love when it’s so mediocre you can’t form an opinion on it and i love when it absolutely doesn’t make sense

insane how movies people commend for their lgbt subtext (reservoir dogs, fight club, the matrix, generally most filmbro movies in this case) oftentimes end up being the best representation lgbt people get, considering most mainstream queer films are exaggerated portrayals of lgbt experiences that miss the mark because of bad representation or unrealistic characters, and films that people interpret as lgbt in any way despite not being explicitly so serve as more realistic portrayals because the characters aren't written like the stereotypes seen in "canon" queer media and they're allowed to have their stories told as fully formed people while also being gay or trans, since hollywood stereotypes don't apply to people irl. in short subtext can and does help subvert harmful characterisations whether it's obvious or not
