Elio isn’t out to save the galaxy.
He’s just trying to belong in his own skin.
Kaufman said it best: when the world stops making sense -- write one that does.

F1 isn’t about victory laps.
It’s about the loops we can’t escape.
Sonny doesn’t race because he’s healed; he races because he’s haunted.
The best arcs don’t end.
They circle back.

“Memento Mori” doesn’t preach.
It punctures.
28 Years Later reframes survival as burden, not instinct.
Death isn’t the twist—it’s the tension.
Great scripts don’t dodge it.

“Perfect first draft”?
Myth.
Rewriting isn’t failure -- it’s the work.
If you’re scared to bleed on page two, you’re not ready for page one.
Unlearn the fluff. Earn the truth.

Bottoms is chaos, yes. But beneath the absurdity?
It’s about craving a place to belong.
Comedy let it say the quiet parts loud—about identity, friendship, feeling seen.
