ITS SPOOKY SZN

thinking about him this winter evening and bawling

i think the reason i love dead poet’s society so much is just how it portrays this ideal teenage experience. getting up to mischief in the late hours of the night. a big band of friends you can mess around with. and discovering your own sense of individuality in a world where you conform or die. and then there’s this brilliant teacher who cares so much that he changes these kids lives. and it’s just beautiful.

and what’s most sad is how all this is ripped away from the characters and the viewers. in the end the merry times are but a memory. the band of friends grows and falls apart. and it shows how there’s the sense of you have to grow up and those childhood days have to be left behind.

i love it because there’s this life that i want captured on television, and it makes me sad that i can’t reach this ideal. then i feel a little better when i see that even this ideal can’t be met or sustained really. but it’s heartbreaking to think that i can’t have that. that all these brilliant things that happen just fall apart.

[and i know this isn’t really what the story is about but it’s what i see when i look at it]

THIS IS GREATT

It’s the way I nearly tripped acid when this popped up on my FYP

someone finally said it

I don't think USA peeps realise how much they dominate the cultural hegemony of the rest of the world, especially in English-speaking countries. We have to base our politics and phraseology around whatever you guys are up to (even when our problems are different to yours), we watch your films and TV shows, we listen to your music and we eat your food. Our leaders prostrate themselves before your leaders and beg for good trade deals, beg for military aid, beg for humanitarian aid, or an end to trade embargos. You guys can pretend you don't live in the most powerful country in the world, you can pretend you aren't the biggest exporters of both hard and soft power in the world, but we live with you in our ears. I could put on a passable American accent from the age of 10, and now the accents of my parents are getting harder to force my tongue around, but American accents are so ubiquitous that I will never have the opportunity to forget what they sound like. I can name 10+ cities in the USA, but I can't name the capitol cities of most countries. This is not a call to action, this is just a reminder: the USA is not the whole world. Other countries exist and have problems you cannot neatly map onto struggles within America. We have cultures and practices you might not understand, and that's OK. Just don't force us to conform to a very narrow view of American ideology and political theory. We aren't you. We don't have to be.

everything went downhill ever since my father sold his motorcycle

charlie dalton is a pen chewer; all of his pens have the lids bitten and plastic hook thingies bent, the ends of his pens are often shred before the end of the week. however, when cameron lends him a pen he never chews it he always wants it to remain in the most perfect condition just because he knows how richard likes everything orderly and he always likes seeing cameron’s reaction to him giving the pen back in perfect condition (its always a little crooked smile that charlie cherishes more than life itself)
