Blasted this edit with the AWESOME beam
distracting thoughts
The awful truth has eluded you for too long
Uh-oh, everything you know is all wrong!
david lynch understood on a fundamental level how abusive and exploitative the world is to those with the least power, particularly women and children. he created an entire lifetime's worth of cinematically and narratively groundbreaking work trying to grapple with that hostility and abuse, trying to reconcile the evil that exists in the hearts of everyday men with the goodness he saw there as well. he made survivors of unspeakable trauma feel seen and known in a way that few artists ever have and ever will, and never once shied away from the truth he knew and believed: that we are all innocent, that what has been done to you is not who you are, and even in times of abject despair, there are people who love you, who will not forget you or stop trying to save or defend or avenge you. i don't want that to go without notice. many people are mourning him for different reasons, and i agree, he was one of the greatest and most imaginative artists to ever be given free reign to paint on a cinematic canvas. but first and foremost, david lynch was an artist of enormous empathy, and i think those of us who saw ourselves in his work because of the empathy it afforded us are grieving particularly hard today.
his memory will always be a blessing.
Finally watched the entirety of lotr yesterday and I’m going absolutely insane.
[I should probably start tagging my fanfic reviews as something lmao, gonna remember to do that tomorrow]
There’s this author in the Mob Psycho community that orphaned all their glorious terumob works (and perhaps more!!) so you wouldn’t be able to identify who wrote them anymore.
EXCEPT!! You can actually still somewhat identify this author and which fic they wrote by one prominent yet small detail!!

This! That tiny *! It’s a reoccurring thing in all their works such as Tunnel Vision (one of my favorites, mind you) and Hiding His Horns. So you can easily tell they’re by the same person, and this is further proven by the writing style.
I don’t exactly know how to explain it, but the way the author writes their work in a steady rhythm is really comfortable to read. The way it’s all narrated sort of sounds like a thought process is going through your head the whole time.
Just thought I’d share this, because truth be told, I really want to find a way to collect all their old works into one place and read them all in one go. All their works are worth a read, each story bringing something new to the table, the same tale being spun differently each time it’s told again.
Wonderful, I love it.
Going to call this author Asterisk the next time I talk about their work.
Northern lights.
