I love it so much. Lush and grandiose and so many shots are doing something interesting

You GOTTA stop being so desperately afraid of the audience. Look at me. Look in my eyeballs. Stop being so desperate for approval. Stop writing for the whiny babies in your audience and start writing for the freaks who like cool fucked up shit

Drew, I'm so sorry 🖤

I appreciate it 😊

The tune sounds very different from what I had thought of, but that's one of the beauties of describing music; the same instruments can give many different atmospheres and energies

That's funny! I had a tune of my own in my head, but now I need to go listen to that to see how similar they are 😄

Somehow missed this; happy belated book birthday!!

to be honest if we wanna dive REALLY deep, the answer is obvious: it has more to do with the ones doubting the possibility of sincerity. it is very difficult to fathom someones sincerity if youve slathered yourself in irony for ages and ages. this is not intended as a slight. i feel for those buds

I believe in you 🫡😆

It is. Because there's a performance angle to it.

Don't do it in a way that's you expressing your experiences, do it in a way that is palatable to people outside of your marginalized group.

Do not do it in a way that risks making people outside your group feel bad 🙄

It ends up boiling down to "where's the oppression tourism? How can anyone learn?"

Um, well

Thank you, Jen 🖤💛 we're all out here trying not to drown in the real horrors while still enjoying the fictional ones 🫠
