THIS. FILLER IS GREAT. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU IT'S NOT.

when reminiscing on old tv shows we tend to go: "OMG do you remember that one episode where *hyper-specific weird fun thing happened*?? i LOVED that episode!!" "OMG me too!! but what about the episode where *they just go on little hijinks and it's so fun and silly*? that was my favorite one!" and sometimes you HAVEN'T seen the episodes they bring up because you never got to watch that episode because it never aired when you were watching

you can't do that anymore because everything is on streaming and not only do we get way less episodes that are jam-packed with action and important details, but everyone has seen everything because if you're watching a show, you're never missing or skipping an episode you're binging it and watching in order every time.

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

my way of flirting is saying babe as if it's just a casual friendly babe but exclusively saying it to people i like. if we're just platonic i won't platonically say babe.

this is how im feeling now, a whole 8 years later

tfw when you’re black, queer and a woman and you don’t know what the outcome of the election means for you and others like you.

Been quiet about all of this because I feel like I’m still processing things. I just know that I am scared but also very privileged to be living where I’m living (Bay Area/Hawaii). This is an assignment for one of my classes where we had to create a piece that expresses what we’re feeling in the present moment (in light of recent events). I guess overwhelmed would be the appropriate word. Overwhelmed but trying not to be and trying to hide it. Hiding it by constantly drawing because it’s the only thing I can do right now and be somewhat at peace and focused. I’m not the most articulate person so I’ve just been keeping a lot of things to myself which is probably not healthy. But I’m around a lot of great people so that makes me feel better.
