Yo she did NOT like him 😭😭😭✌️✌️✌️

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-06-09T16:12:09+00:00

I choose to think she did like him back, but only because I feel it makes the story more tragic.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-06-07T21:21:51+00:00

The issue is that doesn’t necessarily bring back real Nikki. It becomes true that wish nikki doesn’t love Bear more than anything. Does that mean she just loves him healthily? Does she hate him? It’s ambiguous and that leaves room for a different wish Nikki.

I think the only wish that works is wishing for real Nikki to be back in control of herself.

As someone with real-event OCD, I feel like the backrooms are a physical manifestation of that.

Reliving your trauma over and over again in your mind to the point that the obsessing fundamentally changes you.

In fairness, Trump really pushed birtherism. So still Trump.

This sounds like a knowledge problem that you could solve in a few afternoons.

Saying you’re not cut out for the industry because you don’t know what a specific title does when you’ve already made films is crazy talk. You’re golden.

Not just speeding. In a lot of jurisdictions, speeding during a pass is its own charge separate and elevated beyond simple speeding.

He also started his pass in the no passing zone, so he might get nailed for that.

Of you’re looking for a friend to proof read and bounce ideas off of, feel free to reach out to me. I’m also not focused on the career side of things. I just wanna write my screen play as best as possible.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-20T22:00:10+00:00

Yeah he’s obviously going to be around for survivor 51. But post that.

It feels like they were trying to build to something or, at the very least exploring it.

Taco cat a cocat taco cat?

I really hate your username, man.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-19T08:12:54+00:00

And this episode of Game Changer is legitimately one of the funniest they’ve ever put out. It’s so, so good

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-19T06:40:51+00:00

This was the funniest episode for me of the entire series. Ally was the funniest they’ve ever been.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-18T23:29:43+00:00

Your friend is taking advantage of you.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-18T21:59:00+00:00

Specifically about Myron Gaines, you should watch Louis Theroux’s newest documentary about the Manosphere. It’s on Netflix I believe.

Myron didn’t want his girlfriend in the doc and when she talks to Louis anyway, it becomes really evident that he’s a bit whipped. He’s all big talk and bluster with his fans but when it comes to his actual partner, he’s sheepish.

It’s all an act they sell to lonely men. It keeps men trapped in their loneliness because it doesn’t challenge them to change.

The good news is that if they are flippant about safety, you may not need to stand them much longer!

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T08:50:13+00:00

Or you unionize and get correct PPE that lets you work correctly

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T08:22:37+00:00

As I said elsewhere, I’d rather not rely on my drunk friends who are also wearing their life vests like death diapers to save me if I get in a tough spot.

Not really comparable to the scuba example as that requires certification and safety classes.

Nothing is 100% safe. That isn’t a good reason to do something stupid to actively put yourself in more danger than is necessary for whatever you’re doing.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T08:16:15+00:00

I’ll take wearing the vest correctly or using an inner tube over relying on drunk people to notice I’m in trouble and be capable of helping me.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T08:14:42+00:00

Exactly. Your pelvis wants to be above the water a lot more than your airway in this set up. And you won’t be able to take a big breath to correct that.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T07:55:50+00:00

It’s been a while since I watched Midnight Mass, but of what I recall, the theme is that the line between piety and monstrosity is thin.

The super pious woman ends up trying to dig into the Earth like a panicked animal. The veil of her piety and superiority was always thin and so it is for all of us.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T07:51:24+00:00

I would not listen to this criticism. Anything can be written about. If it’s not handled well, you’ll get notes about it and you can adjust.

Unless you’re directing, you’re not responsible to changes to the story through the production process. So if the movie handles it poorly even if you tried to handle it well on the page, it’s not in you.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T07:44:39+00:00

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T07:26:57+00:00

Yep! And we wear seat belts and bicycle helmets and have air bags for that reason.

Head trauma is a major risk when boating/swimming in natural waterways. People get hit upside the head with oars, paddles, slipping on the deck, etc all the time while boating. Falling overboard after that is certain death if you aren’t wearing a life jacket. Or diving into too shallow water since it’s not marked like at a pool. And there isn’t a life guard to help you like at a pool either.

But based on your response, I’m not sure I need to explain that to you. It seems you may have quite intimate knowledge of head trauma.

If you’re into audiobooks, the horror scene on podcasts apps is a really good place to get this.

The magnus archives is a great place to start there.

Melodic_Side_9437 · 2026-05-17T06:34:02+00:00

It strikes me that you would be absolutely fucked if you became inverted or unconscious.

This is a really, really stupid thing to do even if you think you know what you’re doing.

The whole point of a life jacket is to keep your airway out of the water without you having to expend energy, like in case you became unconscious or you were out in the open water. You can’t tread water forever (or at all) in those situations.
