You're Kinda A Loser

This applies to plots that take course over a year, like "what if these people were experiencing the worst year of their entire life and you got to see the highlight reel??"

I love movies where the plot takes place in less than a day. It’s like. What if these people were experiencing the worst 8 hours of the entire lives and you got to see the highlight reel?

have you ever been so wildly attracted to someone you can actually feel it driving you insane

I've been up since 5am this morning (it's 10:51, PM) and I genuinely thought this was you and just asked no questions for several seconds.

I don’t even remember where I got this picture but please 😩

These sorts of background noises are incredibly important to the story told, it places you in these settings and immerses you into it.

You're not being told the story, you're fully placed into it, observing it.

i was thinking about why i like preachers daughter so much aside from the story telling and visual elements and it’s definitely the aspect in some of the songs where there’s a strong ambience in the background. like the bug sounds in hard times, the wind in a house in nebraska, the road traffic in western nights and the flies + church bell in family tree. soo good
