NO KENDALL!!!! DONT FALL INTO THE CYCLE OF ABUSE!!!!!!! DONT START ANOTHER PAINFUL AND FRUITLESS PURSUIT

The Night of the Hunter.

If only Charles Laughton had directed more films...

it does not matter if you have a genuine desire to do good (kendall) or a deep capacity for love (roman) or have comparatively progressive politics and are a victim of the misogynistic environment your father created (shiv). because if your sense of self is so intrinsically tied to oppressive capitalist structures, what good are your best impulses, your love, your decency? waystar is them and they are waystar what does any kindness they possess actually matter if they are only capable of acting upon it within the framework of the fascistic, patriarchal corporation that they have no desire to escape?

i love you ethel cain

The fact that he's a loser really only increases his appeal by 500x unfortunately

I love when tragedies are like… (in/sp)

I love how TLOU HBO uses colors…

Before Sarah dies the colors are a lot warmer, a lot “kinder”, almost

But when she dies, and it transitions to present day, the colors get colder. More stark.

But Ellie’s colors are warm

And you see that contrast…

…then you see their color schemes come together
