i have my issues with strange new worlds but i like how it refuses the binary of queer joy or queer despair in favor of something we can all love: queer malice <3 i don’t want a cute lil baby gay couple or another sad lesbian, i want jesse james keitel in some kind of sex turtleneck situation shooting everything in sight and purring “you are half human and i am nonbinary and that’s sort of the same thing” into mister spock’s ear purely so he will let his guard down and they can break sybok grayson out of space jail

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

“Sine qua non,” as they say.  Without which not. Those things we deem essential without which we cannot bear living. Without which life in general loses its specific value.

Hey, hey. Look at me. Have you read every book on your shelves? Every book that strikes your fancy in bookstores? Every book on your list at your local library? Bet you haven’t. Bet there are tons of stories you haven’t yet gotten around to. Stories you don’t even know yet you need.

Your stories are like that for other people. Your readers may not have found them yet—but they will. There’s time. There’s always time. Keep writing. Keep sharing. You’re on someone’s TBR. You always will be.

Can we normalize being quiet for no reason. No tension, no issues, just quietness. Simple.

van knowing shes in a story is such a good idea for a psychological horror type thing. knowing that theres some greater being controlling her and everyone elses every move and knowing it takes joy in their suffering but not being able to do or say anything about it

If it's going to happen to anyone, it would definitely be Van.

Taissa's Other possibly also understands she's in a story, but she's less concerned with the implications and more interested in meeting her own goals.
