Arguablyacademic - Romanticizing The Mundane

The best dynamic for a group of characters: every single one of them is the weirdest person you will ever meet, but in wildly different ways.  Every time you think you’ve identified “the normal one” they casually reveal that they don’t think birds exist, or they fistfight grizzly bears on the weekends, or they collect human skulls, and you realize again that none of these people are remotely normal.

Also they’re found family.

I’m pretty sure the implicit message of “So if you want equality that means we can hit you now, right?” Has always just been “You are smaller and weaker than we are. We can violently destroy you at any time and most of us have wanted to, but we restrain ourselves because you’re weak and vulnerable and subservient. If you want to act like you aren’t weak and vulnerable and subservient, there will be nothing stopping me from acting on my constant desire to violently destroy you.”

I saw something that was like “we put our lives on pause, but getting vaccinated can help us be able to hit play again” and it just bothered me because I’m not just starting again where I left off. I graduated from college in spring of 2020. I’m never going back to living there and regularly seeing my college friends. I’m never getting my graduation ceremony. I’m not getting my last months of college back. They’re gone!

So anyway this post is dedicated to anybody who went through any transitional period during the pandemic. Whether you graduated, lost somebody, moved, or anything else where you will never truly be able to get the last months/year of [whatever] back. It’s so easy to feel like you should be over it by now and just be grateful whenever you can eat in a restaurant and go into stores again but you lost more than that.

I’m just tired of seeing so many things about “going back to normal” when a lot of us don’t have the same “normal” to go back to.

once again stating that NEIL AND CHARLIE FUCKED!

Really interesting that in a Buzzfeed article of TFATWS, Anthony Mackie wasn’t in the image they used to advertise it. Or mentioned in the caption. Despite the fact that he’s, you know, supposed to be the literal protagonist.

no, because, let’s talk about this-

PITTS’ SIGNATURE

keating: where’s charlie?

cameron, remembering that charlie got his head stuck in a tuba after keating told him to leave it alone, and that he’s supposed to cover for the dead poets as they frantically work together to free charlie's head from the tuba: who’s charlie?
