I binged Petscop in two days and then proceeded to have a nightmare about it, from which I woke suddenly scared as fuck thanks to my cat kicking me hard as felinely possible.

The first step to conquer the battle for attention is to stop participating. I don't mean that you shouldn't hone your craft to make it more interesting, but if you're just trying to find more places to wedge in attention bait you've lost sight of what makes what you're doing important and need to go back to the drawing board.
I'm not sure where you're getting "I can fix him" vibes from the movie Obsession. Neither of them appear to be trying to fix the other.

I should have a shrine to my hair, harry the very hairy hair a hair on my arm which has reached an inch in length. I want to measure it precisely but I'd have to tape it down and I'm afraid of accidentally pulling it out that way.

I was exposed to a lot of those movies where right before a couple divorces bc the man wasn't doing shit he would find god and the marriage would be revived--and I fully believe this trope exists not to be an ideal for men but propaganda for women. Actually I think all of these movies were made by one fucking studio but redacted and redacted in my family eat em' up like they're smut

I'll elaborate later on my blog but there's not much else to say tbh. Christian ideals as an extension of misogyny blah blah blah

And despite anyone's intentions, I don't know who said this but I've heard this quote, "the purpose of a system is what it does"

I do not really want to have to read about systems theory just to be sure I'm using a quote right in my blog posting about religious trauma but fine I guess

As a queer person, the whole cishet romance genre seems to be 'what if a man was emotionally available' and it lowkey distresses me.

Like I was gonna say--the message essentially boils down to "you should keep waiting because he's just a lost sad man that needs to find his way to christ and you" and the secular version of that is "you can and should fix him because he's just a sad lost man and he needs to find his way to you" like either way it's keeping women in this submissive state of complacency.

I would love to see the "I can fix them" mentality explored as a toxic trait or tragedy rather than idealistic romance. The only stories I can think of that do this are my own, godbless
Removed the crt effect because it was flickering abnormally despite me changing nothing. Was also overlapping in weird ways
I feel like I need to go more in-depth about Kill The Jockey and Beau Is Afraid because these stories are beautifully unpredictable, yet coherently bound by their cores. But while Kill The Jockey is careful in its approach to unfolding its conclusion and themes the same way the character is careful in picking up bits and bobs off of the street to put away, Beau Is Afraid is like a harrowing train wreck

Actually it wrecked a long time ago but as one car crashes off the cliffs another is added to the tail end and so you see this never ending sequence of violence and disaster. And it's all on purpose, though you wouldn't think it.

Beau Is Afraid showed me art can be so deliciously harrowing! It reminded me I don't owe anyone common sense if it doesn't serve the story.
I was going for "intimidating" with the new intro but I think the dog pun brought it down to "kind of obnoxious tumblr user" which, I mean. Ducks quack like ducks typically

I had more nightmares last night but not even petscop themed, just simply because of the aura of fear lingering. I'm such a baby lol
