I LOVE YOU COMEDY WITH AN EMOTIONAL CORE
I LOVE YOU COMEDY THAT USES OUTRAGEOUS CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS TO TELL STORIES OF HOPE AND COMMUNITY
I LOVE YOU COMEDY THAT INTRODUCES SEEMINGLY INNOCUOUS DETAILS FOR COMEDIC EFFECT AND THEN HAS THEM COME BACK LATER WITH AN EMOTIONAL GUT PUNCH
I LOVE YOU COMEDY THAT CAN MAKE ME LAUGH AND CRY WITH THE SAME LINE
I LOVE YOU COMEDY
when ted lasso said to grow you must first acknowledge your faults. when ted lasso said people can only realise their full potential when they feel able to be their authentic self. when ted lasso said you don’t lose masculinity when you lose toxic masculinity, and any form of masculinity intrinsically tied to toxicity isn’t worth having. when ted lasso said every single person has made mistakes and to condemn others as unforgivable is to condemn ourselves. when ted lasso said even those who appear happiest still struggle. when ted lasso said inter-generational queer friendships are vital. when ted lasso said men can and do experience sexual trauma and these traumatic acts are not an affirmation of their masculinity. when ted lasso said the ultra-wealthy perceive and experience the world in an entirely different way that values status above all else. when ted lasso said aging is not a curse but a blessing of wisdom and experience. when ted lasso said-
I LOVE being alive so I can be mediocre at SO many different hobbies
People in the tags keep saying this but unironically but this WAS unironic I actually do have hobbies and I am mediocre at them. And they do make me happy anyway
every day i wake up, i listen to my chronological magnus playlist, and then i cry because it ends with view between villages by noah kahan and then those tears fuel me to make the playlist even better. it's a wonderful, vicious cycle.
thank god barry and lup are litches because otherwise i would have to think about the fact that lup has a elf’s life span and barry has a human’s and i don’t think i could emotionally handle that

2019- a benediction
Happy 2023, everyone
Genuinely and unironically my philosophy abt music has expanded to “stop writing off music because it’s from a specific genre” and I think that could be applied to most mediums actually
i would literally kill to have a griffin mcelroy directed movie. the cinematic style that he has in day of story and song (especially part 2) is so beautiful and i feel like that style would translate super well to the screen. i want him to direct a movie so bad
taz:b makes me cry every time because love saves the world!!!! sometimes things are all shit and terrible and everything is crashing down around you, but if you can cling to the people you love it will eventually be okay!!!!! it’s about hope!!!! and the fact that all of the good things in the world are a result of the love we have for each other!!!!!!! when things go wrong, we can make them right eventually caring for each other!!!!!!! without love we are nothing, but that’s beautiful!!!!!!! the ship is powered on friendship!!!!!!!
I’m obsessed with tragedies that you know are tragedies from the beginning. I am obsessed with Horatio ending the play surrounded by the dead. I’m obsessed with Achilles and Patroclus not being able to grow old because they’ve been taken from the world too young. I’m obsessed with Romeo and Juliet lying dead, side by side. I’m obsessed with Orpheus turning around and Eurydice crumbling to dust over and over.
I’m obsessed with stories that are so engrained in our society that we know how they are gong to end, and that they are going to end with everyone dead or destroyed. I’m obsessed with the fact that we read them anyway. I’m obsessed with the hope that it could turn out differently and the willingness to feel that despair again.
starting rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead and really feeling this again
silly little guys trapped in the narrative
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead is perfect because it’s made for Hamlet enjoyers, tragedy enjoyers, meta narrative enjoyers, Shakespeare enjoyers, homosexuality enjoyers, and satire enjoyers, and I’m all of the above
You want me to go to England?? The thing that killed Rosencrantz and Guildenstern??
And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.
