when I'm done with this outline I'm going to cry like a wounded animal in the woods pulling out its own guts to survive. this means it's going well and I am emotionally invested
no I really mean that! I'm having a great time, this is ideal to me!! though the process is not without its own surprises, such as finding out I have somehow graduated to much longer and involved and generally stronger outlines... without realizing it until I started typing, hehe

I know it's really hard but please do your best to not internalize the surveillance state
Watching people do this after spending my first two decades mostly in countries where everyone was either a snitch or had to watch out for them and then had to snap out of that mindset / struggled with changing... this stuff sticks, watch what you let in, look at past examples

The Sansa storyline collapses the easy to digest and simplifying narratives we sometimes tell ourselves about trauma where we’re able to “undo it” or fully “heal from it” and completely return to the way of being we existed in before.
The Sansa storyline doesn’t put nostalgia above survivorhood, which is a tough pill to swallow in a society that constantly peddles nostalgia in the guise of progressive thinking!

I can't believe Tilda Swinton basically played an evil Pina Bausch, an 80-year old psychologist German man, and a decaying pile of greed in the same movie and none of you bring her up for the awards. I mean every word. Three characters, all fully realized. And nothing.
The Suspiria erasure feels like an inevitable backlash against Call Me By Your Name being particularly revered and I'm not here for it because both of those films are legit masterpieces. The critical reaction to the latter reminds me of the original critical reactions to Kubrick.
