one time I left my crush’s gig at soundcheck (days before I moved cities) because I was embarrassed of how obviously in love with him I was & gaslit myself into thinking he wouldn’t notice but then he messaged me after saying sorry he didn’t say goodbye & I wanted to die

Inappropriately Loud Autistics With No Filter Representation

Replying to

this tweet is so funny because I thought ‘bipolar disorder & a bad attitude’ was about Joffrey…. in my opinion, Criston is one of the scariest villains because he’s such a realistic representation of modern misogyny & male insecurity

Replying to

just watched today & this shit is like… ethically irresponsible

I respect Rupi for being a successful woman & making poetry accessible & helping others articulate difficult themes but…… this one should’ve stayed in drafts bestie x

Replying to

Had to sit in the cinema foyer for a while afterwards just to feel human again

Replying to

The replies to this are making me feel a certain kinda way……. they just loooove ownership & the collective male ego, god forbid a woman be free of that

Replying to

Posting pictures of actual people as a personal attack while nitpicking the historical accuracy of a fictional world is weird behaviour

Replying to

Bro her entire bedroom is pictures of Captain Marvel, she’s hyperfixatedly obsessed with her & then gets to not just meet her but do superhero stuff with her - sorry if you just haven’t had a passion you felt that level of wonder about

Replying to

??? A24 makes good movies (& pays their artists!) why is people appreciating that a bad thing

Replying to

and

Coming from someone who knows waaaay too much about JDG: 1. he’s too old 2. he’s an abuser 3. Elliot Grihault is literally right there!

Replying to

preeeeeach, been trying to talk about this recently, we’ve ALL been hurt by the patriarchy & must overthrow it together & we can do that by extending empathy to each other regardless of gender perceptions etc

Replying to

and

socialism is about everyone having enough to live in the first place. it’s the distribution of wealth that’s the problem, the disparity is much wider at the top

Replying to

Anyone who doesn’t think the Cassie Maddy fight deserved obviously doesn’t watch Euphoria & has no idea how iconic that shit was (coming from also a Marvel fan. Bus fight slapped but it ain’t got nothing on Cassie v Maddy, truly historic television)

Replying to

& you should stop sexualising a woman in her 20s in an inappropriate context that involves both her professional career & her coworker

Replying to

crazy how you don’t actually have to put down women when supporting other women

Replying to

critique of Lana is valid. but you have to know more about an artist to critique them than some quotations lifted from internet discourse

Replying to

I glanced at this image & thought it was the pfp of some loser misogynist getting mocked nooooooo

Replying to

Tom Blyth’s performance was exceptional but also the storytelling in the hairstyling went so hard

Replying to

As someone with ARFID, you should absolutely have safe foods that aren’t takeaways or from one specific takeaway chain. Just get fries somewhere else??? They’re also better value if they’re not from fucking Maccas??? Lmao

Replying to

why are the thumbs so funny

Replying to

This one’s a bit niche but there’s a movie called I, Origins marketed as a new agey romantic drama type vibe, which is mostly what it is, but after hooking you in to the romance it pulls the craziest fucking shit in This Scene that was so traumatising I had to pause & dissociate

Just saw a lit twt discourse about how ‘50+ publications a year is bad’ because it equates to ‘slop’. Sorry guys, you shouldn’t actually publish the poems you write or support indie presses, you should toil over 1-5 poems for at least a year hoping the New Yorker will like them

Replying to

people will really read some info about a talented young person expanding their creative range & lose their shit like they hasn’t been used as a singular pronoun for thousands of years, god we’re tired

Replying to

him too. saying a man on team green is bad doesn’t mean that a man on team black isn’t bad. that’s kind of the point of the show, how patriarchy fucks everything, & women are blamed for it

Replying to

it’s literally satire

Replying to

Maybe I’m in the minority here but I actually think whether or not you have a funko pop on display in your home has zero correlation with maturity

Replying to

and

No disrespect to Rachel, but Ayo’s performance is the one that deserves awards

Replying to

sorry! but it worked. using a thing called acting to portray the childhoods of the characters was way more interesting than using younger actors (which wouldn’t have suited the tone of the movie imo) & Flo ate

Replying to

the way this image is just…. people of colour & women? & what’s the bet those focus groups are gonna be white male dominated

Did they……. miss the entire arc of her maturing throughout the film…… & the fact that it’s……. surreal absurdism

Replying to

yes but you intentionally chose to include it in your criticism, & it’s just one example of the vindictive attitude this fandom has had towards the people who have worked on this show

Replying to

no because why is it always January

Replying to

this hastily assembled fake musical in a mockumentary satire is unironically better than multiple actual movie musicals

Replying to

Wonka over Bottoms in a comedy category makes me want to make a small bomb

Replying to

and

I am someone who’s never watched the anime & is loving the live action 🙋‍♀️

A combination of endearing performances, great production design & excellent writing, among other factors, is what’s making this show a success

Also apparently respect for the source material

Replying to

they won’t say they’re ableist they just hate autistic qualities

Received unsolicited feedback on a submission telling me that I used a word incorrectly because it’s ‘not a verb’ bla bla bla ~ girl it’s poetry, being creative & lawless with language is what makes it fun??

Replying to

you’re damn right the internalised misogyny is crazy

Replying to

and

That is a 5 year gap, some of y’all are so dramatic with age

Replying to

It’s Marvel? She’s apparently loving it? Sure the writing was bad but she seems stoked to be involved

Replying to

I think the whole ‘never wearing the same outfit twice’ thing was normalised by real-world western nobility & the targaryens are more focussed on the political turmoil that faces them than pimping out their wardrobe. who’s gonna care about their clothes? their dead children?

Replying to

Also not to discredit his talent (I think he’s great) but I would suggest that these characters are all actually incarnations of each other. The Nicholas Galitzine multiverse, ruled by a supreme prissy queer deity who is also portrayed by Nicholas Galitzine.

Replying to

sometimes I don’t play sims for a while & then see a tweet that makes me desperately need to play sims

Replying to

Some of these men think that anything containing sex is created for the sole purpose of getting people off & that’s very much a them problem

Replying to

your criticism is like ‘fish is hard for peasants to get hold of’ when they literally live by the water lmfao, go write your own hit show

Replying to

This shit is so crazy to me because like……. it’s supposed to be fucking weird? Haven’t read the book yet (I intend to!) but the movie doesn’t present Willem Dafoe’s character like ‘ah yes, this is a normal, ethical man & this story endorses his actions’ ~ also it’s surrealism!

Replying to

‘overly accessible’ idk I think that was the point. people talk about juvenile feminism but it’s literally a juvenile property so wanted to be easily understood by that portion of the core audience (young girls), as well as marketable to men since barbie is inherently capitalist

Replying to

and

how it should be done

Replying to

Their feminism is so performative they awarded the Promising Young Woman screenplay when it should’ve got the Razzie instead

Replying to

this was boring to read & boring to think about I would rather just enjoy this astonishing directorial debut

Replying to

each to their own my dude, I think it’s intentionally stylistic to reflect the manga/anime origins

Replying to

took me ten months to finish a movie one time (it was terrible) so I get it

Just for the record… DEFINITELY be autistic on main. It simultaneously liberates you & destigmatises autism for the neurotypicals around you :))

Replying to

I don’t think it was supposed to be a twist lol the reveal literally starts with ‘you don’t need to be told, do you, you knew it all along’. I think it’s more a commentary on how the audience has also been manipulated by his charisma

Replying to

why are people mad at her for a funny joke! & I’m a Saltburn lover but I also love when people hate it, that’s the beauty of the movie

Replying to

No, this is what happens when HBO cuts two episodes. lol.

Replying to

Squid Game was literally like 2 years ago, why would they waste money on an inferior product when they fucked over the og creator in the first place

Three acceptances in the past 24 hours ~ two of which are paid! & the third is from my favourite editor who pays me in love, support, & beta-reading

every day I open this app & come across someone who apparently doesn’t write poetry reposting someone’s mostly innocuous poem calling it ‘the worst poem they’ve ever read’ or whatever & then immediately reposting one from the ~1800s & calling it soooo gooood

Replying to

One of my biggest culture shocks on this website as a bisexual woman was the issue people have with the word sapphic being used as an inclusive term

Replying to

So many things to critique about this trailer & they’re going for the Black woman? What is wrong with these people honestly

Replying to

saw a tweet once that said ‘never doubt the power of autistic rage’. this is a good example

Replying to

I don’t disagree with you but I think Lana Del Rey distancing herself from the ‘industry’ (in that corporate regard) to pursue a more genuine artistry is cool & interesting. Her 2017 album Lust for Life, which concerns itself with that concept, also has strong anti-Trump themes

Replying to

why is Hollywood so averse to calling something a drama

Replying to

everything you ever tweet is Correct

Replying to

and

I need the Oliver vs Farleigh sequel soooo bad

Replying to

and

It mustn’t have been in her contract. Normalise distancing yourself from toxic work environments 🤷‍♀️

Replying to

and

that purple dress is CRAZY

Replying to

I was with you until you dunked on Greta for wanting to direct a beloved childhood franchise with a big budget after explicitly stating that she wants to do a blockbuster…… women will get dragged for just…. being successful & doing what they want
