I wince every time I hear something along the lines of "it turned out pretty good". I'd swear I don't remember noticing this as much in the past.

There’s a joke in *The Princess and the Frog* that is so niche I can’t believe they included it. When Tiana and Naveen meet Ray, Naveen tells him they are from a place far from this world and Ray’s response is “Go to bed! Y’all from Shreveport??”
MJ is this joke in human form.

something has to give before everything finally breaks. People aren't supposed to feel this way, it eats away at you too much. I'm so tired of feeling like a failure wasting my time and that'll I'll never be happy with who I am.

It’s always going to be weird to see people at the store that I’ve known my entire life (or even people I’m related to) and they look me dead in the eyes and there isn’t the slightest hint of recognition.

Good morning! We know you have been waiting for an update, but we have some unfortunate news. An immediate family member was diagnosed with cancer and it has turned our world upside down. We will eventually get through this and focus on development again. Thank you so much for your support.

These actors can’t participate without approving of her actions no matter what they say in public or how impossibly ignorant they might claim to be.
All these people are rich beyond imagining. There's no reason to take this gig beyond making it clear they don't give a fuck about trans people.

Kinda wish we could have more than one conversation about anything. Bioshock Infinite, for example, has a lot more going on than its terrible “both sides are bad” centrist racism. But that’s kind of been the final word on the game for years and idk. Lot of stuff happening there!

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

Not every bit of storytelling is a damn puzzle box to be solved. Not everything needs to fit into some stupid interconnected web of intrigue. Sometimes things just happen and sometimes people just die. There is no reason, no explanation, it just is.
