IS THAT ZANE PHILLIPS? FIRE ISLAND (2022)
POLAROID , FIRE ISLAND PINES/
as I've posted about consistently I’m writing (or planning on writing) a klance beach au + I need advice on pros vs cons
Ok so this isn’t just any beach au, its a specific beach in a specific place (it is not Varadero) and I have a summer house there (well my grandma does but thats not important)
And the question of the hour is: do I doxx myself…? Should I make up a fake street and a fake house? It would be a lot more accurate if I just based it entirely off my experience here (I’m there rn) which I plan on doing in other aspects, wouldn’t it be easier and more realistic to just doxx my address? I mean obv I wouldn’t say that it’s my address but it would be pretty obvious from my detailed description of the house...
It’s not a dangerous area or anything and I don’t think many klance readers would think of spending hours of travel plus the money to show up to my tiny beach house but I’m not sure if it’s worth it or not. If anyone has experience in this I would appreciate advice, because I’m not sure if the pros outweigh the risks here.
I could also just make up a fake street name but keep everything else the exact same? It would still be pretty obvious to anyone who lives there (it’s a summer-only island/town pretty much, all the shops close for the winter so nobody really stays that I know of) which house I am and if they REALLY know it well they’d probably know who my grandma is too. I don’t know if it would be worth the extra effort to make up a fake house and location especially when it would alter my experience growing up coming here.
TL:DR for anyone who cant read four paragraphs: Do I make the house Keith stays at my real house (with the pro of being more realistic and accurate) or do I make up a fake address (which would be harder to write and visualize since it’s based off my actual experiences)
Also even though it’s based on my actual experiences the summer romance thing is made up I get NOOOOOO bitches!!

Movies Watched, June 2022
Noticing that somehow it’s gotten harder for me to hit my expected 10 films a month (minimum.) Been seeing friends and going outside, among other things. Somehow my evenings get filled up with chores and activities. Maybe this is more telling of my post-COVID brain too. At the beginning of the year, I wanted to watch at least one movie a week, which would bring me up closer to 4 - 5 a month, but feeling like I should be at least a bit more ambitious.
(2021) The Mitchells vs The Machines
Very sad that this flew under the radar in general. Great film with a unique animation style. The premise is fine, cute nevertheless but the sensibilities feel like something that is rare in a world that is dominated by Disney and Pixar.
(2021) Encanto
Appreciate the intimate premise. The songs are catchy but feel a little forgettable (maybe it’s just my brain?)
(2022) Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Great fun and entertaining as expected. Didn’t know anything about it coming in and was thoroughly entertained. The last 10 minutes or so felt a little underwhelming, though appreciate that it wasn’t about big, choreographed battles that drag on. Sam Raimi’s touches felt truly at home in the film. Way more scary and violent than I thought?
(2022) Fire Island
Andrew Ahn is such a great director. Moments in the film are sublime, but generally wanted more of Bowen and the other characters. Wished it was less of a Joel Kim Booster vehicle. Conrad Ricamora is insanely hot.
(2022) The Bob’s Burgers Movie
It was strange seeing the series being animated so well, on the large screen. The story itself was pretty cute, mostly a longer Bob’s Burger episode with more grand musical numbers.
