you can personally give yourself grace for your own bad writing when you were first starting out at the beginning of your creative journey.
and I really wish everyone would look at their own old, cringey, likely terrible writing with the same irreverent humor we use for My Immortal. If we can all collectively laugh fondly at My Immortal,
I'm about to go super niche on main, but oh well. Someone posted the first paragraph of My Immortal the other day because it's apparently been 20 years since that infamous fic was uploaded to the internet. I was looking at it with all the comments and the way people talk about it now,
I just got another possible interview opportunity, and the sheer comedy that I, the person who infamously isn't that into horror, keep getting invited to and opportunities to horror and horror adjacent things is unmatched.
The words "you've forgotten the face of your father" have already been spoken and I just got here today. In case anyone was wondering what level of nerd we're running on in this house.
On a scale of 1-10 how funny is it that my suggestion for Christmas TV watching with the fam is IT Chapters one and two and Welcome to Derry with my King loving parents? #ITWelcomeToDerry
Almost a year ago, I said all of the info we had at the time for #AvengersDoomsday appeared to be very reactionary to the post-Endgame films not hitting as hard as Marvel wanted them to. The rumored reveals appear to be proving me more right than ever. bleedingcool.com/movies/is-av...
Rumor is that #Marvel is going to release multiple #AvengersDoomsday trailers attached to #AvatarFireAndAsh to try and get people to see it more than once. The fact that people think #Avatar is rewatchable baffles me. There are so many easier ways to get a migraine. Just don't drink any water.
I got to see #28YearsLater: #TheBoneTemple last month, and what an experience. Deeply unsettling and disturbing, yet also weirdly funny and hopeful. All eyes will be on Jack and Ralph, but Erin Kellyman and Chi Lewis-Parry are amazing and the quiet MVPs of the entire film.
#AvatarFireAndAsh is a visual masterpiece. If you love these movies, it's more of the same, but story-wise, it's the same "capture/rescue" plot over and over again with some laughable dialogue thrown in the middle. The runtime is criminal, and if you have eye issues, avoid the 3D.
Spoiler alert: the answer is capitalism. The thing that is ruining almost everything in the world is capitalism.
"Running out of stories to tell one another" has got to be one of the dumbest things I've seen from a major outlet in a hot minute.
I missed it by a couple of days, but happy nine years at @bleedingcool.com to me.π
This is the Bugonia font.
I hope everyone isn't just realizing that both Wicked movies are shot and lit in a way that, even when they decide to use practical effects, everything still looks fake as hell. Here I am being right back in March. bsky.app/profile/kait...
For all the people acting smug about #WakeUpDeadMan not showing in enough theaters, they should look up the date when the two-movie Netflix deal was finalized. Spoiler alert: we were heading into the second year of a certain pandemic, and the future exhibition was in question.
I'm sure there's another event out there that has picked up the slack, and I might seek it out in a couple of days or later this month, but today, I'm just going to be a little sad that an event I was part of for so long no longer exists.
It taught me that I had to get over myself and that no first draft would be good, but you can't edit something that doesn't exist. It taught me how to do volunteer work, like you cannot crowd-source anything, and you have to just pick things, and everyone has to deal with it.
NaNo has been a major part of over half of my life. It taught me how to trust my own talent as a writer and that if I let the words flow, they will come. It taught me how to hyperfocus and write fast.
π§΅ Today is the first time since 2004 that I'm not beginning National Novel Writing Month. I had a feeling things were bad when I looked at their fundraisingΒ goals last year, but I thought they would scale back, not nuke the entire event and the entire website.

I went to the dentist today and told my hygienist I was seeing #BlackPhone2. She wasn't sure about seeing it in theaters because she sometimes gets a little screamy in horror movies. Ma'am, horror movies, more than anything, thrive in packed theaters with people reacting around you.
The rain is a paid actor.

Thanks to an informal experiment I've been conducting, early findings suggest that the best way to prevent YouTube from radicalizing young men is to watch K-Pop content. The K-Pop algorithm is way stronger than those losers, and you get to watch a bunch of really awesome people be awesome on stage.
As someone actually did overdose on Tylenol [and Ibuprofen] in a suicide attempt in 2003, this entire grift is amusing me far too much.
If you think my card draw luck for the #Spiderman #MagicTheGathering pre-release was somehow inproved from #FinalFantasy, you'll all be pleased to know I had to mulligan a hand after drawing 7 lands. #MTGxSpiderman #MTGxFinalFantasy
Apparently, the rapture is happening on the 23rd, and the poetic irony that I'll be prepping for a colonoscopy on that day is hilarious.
I saw someone say that the "blueberry" comment will stick with that little girl because, in kid logic, it makes it sound like it was her fault. Without trauma dumping, I can confirm that one poorly worded statement to a kid about something not their fault/out of their control will stick with them.
Who says getting older means you have to be boring? It just means balance, and I balanced out my 39th birthday with plush. Please enjoy this picture of Cashew's adorable face.
