after much thought I've concluded/realized that theodore would be really into superheroes, which is inconvenient cause I'm not and there's no one in my circles who is :/

Hard Candy would probably be good reference, but I haven't heard particularly good things about it as a film and I suspect I'd find it v triggering :/

my brother referred to hiraeth as a "tortured artist" which isn't a phrase that had occurred to me, but is COMPLETELY accurate lmao. the two sides of hiraeth are "dreams every night of the labyrinth" and "infodumps about the environmental importance of mosquitoes." tortured artist/weird bug guy

had myself a double-feature last night, idk about This Boy's Life but The Basketball Diaries is 100000% on theodore's Red Flag Media Bingo Card (which I will never actually make cause I'd rather not completely tell on myself)

started rereading IWTV and I'd forgotten that a) louis was a slave owner, b) the book completely no-sells this. anne please
