I’m A Social Vampire U Gotta Invite Me Into Ur Conversation Or I Cannot Enter

unpopular opinion but i think a lot of the things that people think are “pretentious” aren’t actually pretentious - they just require a little more effort & intentionality on the reader / viewer’s part to understand. but bc we’re so used to mass produced media and instant, consumable content, we’ve come to take for granted that knowledge & information can be instantaneously grasped, digested and absorbed without any real participation or action from us. if people were actually looking to criticise pretentiousness, they would call out the classism & racism of ivory tower intellectualism and its cultural manifestations, not whine about how “inaccessible” media that don’t treat their audience like idiots are

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead

Things people who are unfamiliar with IT need to be prepared for before seeing Chapter 2 (kinda spoiler warning?  I won’t try to go into great detail):

There is a very graphic suicide scene that will more than likely be shown in it’s full gory amount.  If that is something you will not be able to handle, I would not suggest seeing the movie.  

The movie WILL include a scene dealing with discrimination and a hate crime.  There is a scene in the book where a gay couple is walking home and one of them (perhaps both, but the graphic part only happens to one of them for sure) gets attacked by a group of men.  He is cruelly beaten and thrown off a bridge.  Something absolutely horrific happens with Pennywise at the bottom of the bridge, but I will not be spoiling that.  (Might I ad, the only reason they were attacked was because of the hat he worse.  It read “I <3 Derry” which Pennywise can be seen holding in one of the new pop dolls.   

The movie WILL be dealing with Beverley’s abusive husband.  You can see on her wrists that she has bruising, which has most certainly been caused by her husband.  This scene with the two of them could be very very serious and could also be very very triggering for some people.

The movie includes what has been called the bloodiest scene in horror movie history.  

This movie will be A LOT darker than the first one.  Things were different and not nearly as dark as they will be in the new one.  

Remember, the first movie was revolved around CHILDREN and CHILD LIKE EXPERIENCES.  There will be some darker and more serious material in this film.  

I heard on an interview that there is a scene dealing with flashing lights which may or may not trigger epilepsy.  I am sure they will comment on this if it will for sure have any possibility of triggering a seizure.  BUT.  IF THEY DO NOT, PLEASE GO ABOUT THIS MOVIE WITH CAUTION.

I know, most people who will be attending this film will be able to handle it’s graphic content, but people need to understand that this movie will be EXTREMELY GRAPHIC.  There will be lots of blood.  Lots of scenes involving cutting.  Several deaths.  And a lot of forms of abuse.  

There are multiple deaths in this film.  Two of them involving main characters.  

The movie will definitely be different than the book, so all my warnings may not be accurate and I will update after seeing the film.

This is all I have for now.  As more material comes out, I will update this post.  If any of this seems triggering to you or will make you uncomfortable, DO NOT SEE THE FILM.  This movie will be very scary and intense.  Please share to bring awareness to those who are unsure.   

My favourite thing about the Sana x Yousef romance storyline right now is how innocent yet intimate it is. I mean their entire ship is literally based on a one-sided text message, two short irl conversations, and a bunch of stolen glances and smiles. And that’s just it. It feels so familiar. (Whether or not they’re endgame), what they are right now is just so important as it is. Sana changes the song on the radio because it feels too inappropriate, Yousef wants to show Sana how to peel the freaking carrots but is reluctant to actually touch her (even though he could have easily done that whole guy-holds-girl’s-hands-to-guide-her), there’s no pressure to immediately start making out with the other person or attempt at anything beyond these sweet stolen conversations about kids and carrots. The most intimate they get is when Yousef passes the knife and carrot to Sana and it sounds lame ik, but it’s also so wholesome to me, it’s real and it’s human and it’s so so beautiful.
