does anyone else follow people who don’t even have the same interests as you, but you’ve followed them for years and you can’t imagine unfollowing them?
it’s like, no that’s joan the dolphin lover? she’s practically your neighbor on this website? you’ve never talked, you’re not even mutuals, but damn she loves dolphins. And every time you see her on your dash, you’re just like, oh wonderful, joan’s still alive, just doing her thing. she’s getting into golden age russian cat literature, good for her!
this person doesn’t even know they’ve been on your dash through the ups and downs of your life. Their presence and cactus obsession is just something kind of familiar and almost comforting to you?

Dear Hollywood: Isn’t it amazing how Fury Road’s Max is a tough-as-nails, guilt-ridden, distrustful lone wolf with a dark past and the movie manages to convey that without having him treat everyone he meets like crap?
Does this mean you never really needed to write your ‘edgy’ antiheroes as abusive assholes after all?? That maybe you could have given them ‘emotional complexity’ without resorting to lazy, thinly-veiled power fantasies about white dudes who treat everyone else as inferior??? Thoughts????
