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

you read stuff on wattpad for shit and giggles where most of the fics there are reader-inserted ones written in 1st person pov where y/n is a barely legal white girl with blonde hair and blue “orbs” who’s so smol and fragile that she’s dependent entirely on this morally questionable guy who’s killing people for a living but for some reason happens to have a soft spot for her.

you read real actual literature on archive of our own where it’s two middle aged men, who are each other’s sworn enemies, with tragic past, trauma and strong homoerotic tension. and while they’ve made each other bleed, killed each other’s friends and loved ones out of jealousy / possessiveness, lied and betrayed and manipulated, the rawness, depth, complexity and slow burn will keep you up all night, haunt you during your day and possibly change your life forever. and also the sex isn’t just smut. the sex is poetry that puts Shakespeare to shame

i love that almost all of us have just decided that this man is willoughby tucker
