I may have missed if you've already seen it, but I do think you might like how I Saw the TV Glow uses nostalgia for weird childhood media for its horror/thriller symbolism! It's genuinely spooky but I also keep being reminded of poor Wayne running terrified in his melting spamtom makeup

Just terrified it's too late and that I won't get to see my fucking girlfriend for a week but THATS WHY IM LYING DOWN! TO NOT STRESS ABOUT THAT SHIT!! I think lying down might make it worse I can't remember anything I've read right now

That’s gorgeous! You look awesome, the sleeves and long skirt look comfy too!

I did this with velvet buzzsaw only to find out I'd already seen all the deaths (minus the very last one) in their entirety in the trailer :[

I think this emotional meltdown is actually exactly what the show wanted from me. There's so so SO many stupid things I think would send me to the ward if I tried to explain but ALSO this show has clearly made a profound impact on me and I cried so much and I will probably carry it with me always🙄😪😏

Maybe the show is silly and doesn't deserve heaps of analyses or maybe ALL of life is deserving of our time attention and care, wether it's pain trauma or absolute bullshit. Seriously this show means so much to me AND it has so so much that is SO FUCKING STUPID

Booooo everything is grey and not black and white like my autism likes and Vic also said something about finally seeing shades of grey in the last episode.

Does it make me feel better to connect real things to abstractions?? I love overanalysing and sorting and connecting, but is it REALLY good? I know the opposite, complete avoidance, is also bad and I'm also working on THAT but I dunno if over-analyses is the solution

I kinda feel sad that I missed the height of engagement with this show but I wasnt ready with my own trauma/disability/non-linear healing journey which ALSO might be a metaphor for the friendship that introduced me to the show and which I ALSO wasn't in the right space for and so kinda lost too
